Plugin Idea - Built-In Userscripts (a.k.a. Doing It Wrong™, Only Wronger)
-
Because there are so many userscripts floating around and they are somewhat tricky to manage and distribute, here's a crazy idea worthy of TDWTF. A Discourse plugin that stores userscripts and gives each user a menu of some kind to select which userscripts they want to enable for their account.
I'll sit back and watch because I ain't touching RoR.

This is even more WTF than I initially realized. I just realized this is a plugin system provided via a plugin!

I think this topic belongs in several of the "[a-zA-Z]+ Ideas Thread" with no thought given to the normal rules of mutual exclusion.

I've done that. I once built something for SMF as a plugin that provided its own support for plugins specific to that plugin. Pluginception.

Yes, yes, but in my case I legitimately did things that weren't doable in SMF at the time and the things I was doing appeared to have inspired changes in the core as well, since a couple of months after my plugin+plugin manager happened, SMF core got updated with much improved support under the hood, similar to what I'd actually done but without the formality of a full API (since compatibility with existing plugins was a requirement)

I'm not convinced it qualifies. This is a js app, so it's similar to giving users choices of stylesheets to use.

Didn't someone have a repository on Git they were putting them/going to put them in at one point?
I'd try and search but, well, Discourse.

I feel like this is a better fit for the good ideas thread.

Thanks, @sam!
