Recently I was playing around with the manifest tool and wanted to extend it but couldn’t, because it was in the Nextbot family. Are you considering partners extending and enhancing your toolset? I can see how this could be beneficial for both NW as well as your partners in the long run.

As far as I’m aware this is not on Nextworld’s roadmap. I get why this could be considered a value, but I think a different framework is required given how metadata/platform apps are tightly coupled to the underlying code base, whereas business apps exist purely in the metadata layer.
