Mod Support Thoughts

[NuclearPhoenixx]

It would be very trivial to do some basic "mod" support for Gamma MCA by allowing the user to add *.js files to the app in the settings via some URL links just like with the isotope list. A simple approach to this would be allowing JS files hosted on GitHub.

These scripts could then be used to modify DOM contents, like adding additional windows, plots, customize fonts, themes, whatever really.

Of course as with any type of mod support, users should be very sure that the script they are using isn't doing anything malicious. Especially since it's not downloaded once, but hosted on some server. It's a huge security threat to open up something like this, but I'd look into sandboxing and making it as restrictive as reasonable. Still, it's never going to be 100% secure out of the box I'm sure.

Also, obviously, there needs to be enough interest and most importantly developers willing to make something with it, in order to make this as appealing as possible.

Just a thought I had the other day, it's probably not going anywhere anyways. Feel free to discuss in this thread below!

Discarded that idea.
