✨ What's new?

🔌 Plugins

Plugins are a new type of extension that allow for more in-depth customization and allow addition of new features — all in JavaScript.

Here is a high overview of what they're capable of:

  • Create a tray icon and display dynamic content in the tray
  • Add buttons, context menu items, dropdown items to specific places
  • Create a dynamic command palette
  • Register hooks to modify server-side behavior
  • Run commands, access the file system, create, read, edit files etc.
  • Communicate with AniList and other APIs
  • Fetch and store data
  • Manipulate the DOM
  • And more

There is a new documentation website for plugins that you can check out to get started on creating your own.
