[up for grabs] Plugin ideas

[jadjoubran]

Feel free to suggest new plug-in ideas here

• Git plug-in (shows branches + versions/tags)
• Google analytics realtime embed (can't be implemented yet because only works on Polymer 1)

How about a lighthouse integration with webdash?

[jadjoubran]

I got this recommendation yesterday when I was presenting webdash to a group..
I feel like this would creep on Chrome dev tools' turf
If there's anything that can be improved in Lighthouse or Dev tools + lighthouse, we can already contribute there
But anyway the plugin system is completely open, so if anyone feels the need to do that, then that's perfectly fine

It would also be cool to have a something built on top of lighthouse, something like a nice graph from @calibreapp
I'll ping them on twitter and see if they're interested

Hey @jadjoubran,

Thanks for reaching out on Twitter (I'm the founder of Calibre).

We have a new command line interface / api that should make it trivial to get stats out of an account. I'd be happy to provide a test account for you to use.

To get started:

• Register for a free trial, then ping hello @ calibreapp.com with the email address that you used to sign up.
• I'll boost your trial period to be far longer and share some details about how we can get the stats from Calibre.
• From the Calibre side, we can provide a documentation page (say Calibreapp.com/webdash) to help people find it, and a docs page to help folks get started.

How's all that sound?

[jadjoubran]

Thanks @benschwarz
sounds good! Will start working on this as soon as webdash v1.3 is released
So I'll only signup for an account once I start working on the plugin (tracked in #58, if you'd like to get updates, please watch the other issue thanks!)

I'm also thinking of opening up sponsorships in the future in order to sustain webdash, I'll let you know about it then if you're interested
Cheers

• IFTTT plugin using node-ifttt-maker

Would love to have someone with IFTTT API experience

[cjsaylor]

Would be cool for a react-scripts like API proxy to show requests as you make them with response stats.

[jadjoubran]

@cjsaylor can you give more explanation please?

[bardiarastin]

what about CI status plugin ?

[jadjoubran]

that would be cool! We'd have to build one for CircleCi and another for Travis right?

Update: Travis CI plugin tracked here #74

[bardiarastin]

yes they are the most popular ones, later we can add support for private CI's 👍

[jadjoubran]

I was thinking whether it makes sense to create a plugin that simply shows status/building or error but then this can be easily embedded in your README.md and will show up if you use webdash-readme-preview
so if we were to build a plugin for CIs, then it make sense to show the last 2-3 builds + with a bit more info
