Feature Request: Implement a Plugin Architecture for Jellyseerr

[Ticklect]

I want to emphasize the critical need for a plugin system in Jellyseerr to enable extensibility, adaptability, and community-driven innovation. Here are the core reasons this is essential:

Extensibility and Customization
Currently, Jellyseerr is limited to its out-of-the-box features with no official way to add or customize functionality without modifying the core codebase. A plugin architecture would allow users and third-party developers to extend capabilities, add integrations, or tailor the app to diverse use cases without waiting for core updates.

Faster Integration of New Tools and Services
The media ecosystem evolves rapidly, with new tools, indexers, and download clients emerging regularly. A plugin system would enable quick, modular integration of these services, keeping Jellyseerr relevant and adaptable without bloating the core app.

Community-Driven Development and Ecosystem Growth
A plugin framework encourages community participation, where developers can create and share plugins that solve niche problems or add innovative features. This fosters a vibrant ecosystem that benefits all users and accelerates Jellyseerr’s growth and adoption.

Improved Maintainability and Stability
Modular plugins isolate functionality, reducing risk of breaking core features during updates. This separation simplifies maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting.

Competitive Edge
Other request managers and media tools are moving toward plugin-based designs. Without this, Jellyseerr risks falling behind in flexibility and user adoption.

In summary, implementing a plugin architecture is not just a nice-to-have — it’s a necessary evolution for Jellyseerr to remain competitive, adaptable, and user-friendly in a rapidly changing media management landscape.

Thank you for considering this vital enhancement.
