Develop Plugin Architecture for Extensible Functionality

[Akarshjha03]

Currently, Imply offers core functionalities without a structured way for developers to easily extend or customize its features. Introducing a plugin architecture would empower developers to create and share add-ons, boosting community contributions and making the platform more versatile.

Proposed Enhancements:

• Design a lightweight plugin interface that developers can implement to introduce new features or integrations.
• Establish clear plugin development guidelines and documentation to facilitate easy onboarding for contributors.
• Implement a plugin registry system to manage and showcase available plugins.
• Provide versioning and compatibility checks for plugins to ensure platform stability.

Potential Use Cases:

• Custom prediction models tailored to specific user needs.
• Third-party service integrations (e.g., analytics platforms, payment gateways).
• Enhanced data visualization features.
• Automated alerts or notifications for specific market events.

Benefits:

• Greater flexibility for users to tailor Imply to their unique requirements.
• Encourages an open-source community around the platform.
• Faster innovation through contributions from external developers.

I'm thinking about refining the AI capability to do deep research on a particular stock / news piece & making prediction market a secondary feature. Would make a plugin system of sort there to allow the AI to connect to different data sources.
