TL;DR: Envisioning a Plugin-centric React Ecosystem. As we approach 2024, I envision a shift from libraries to plugins in React development. The aim is to solve real-world problems with plug-and-play solutions. If you believe in this vision, you may want to learn more about Webcrumbs.
It's almost 2024 and the future I wish for React development is one where there are more plugins and less libraries.
There are 1.13 billion websites online, and less than 50% of them are managed with tools that allow extensions by plugins.
And to my knowledge (please prove me wrong by commenting below if you know of any solution like this already), there is not yet an open source solution that allow extending React websites with plugins powered by the community.
Plugins vs. libraries is a matter of solving real world-problems vs. solving code problems. Of course both are important, but we lack solutions for the first.
So, here's my list of what I would like to see as plugins for React in a near future:
Plugin for Real-Time Collaboration
Plugin for Voice Commands
Plugin for Content Personalization
Plugin for A/B Testing Framework
Plugin for Heatmap Analytics
Plugin for Geo-Fencing
Plugin for Blockchain Integration
Plugin for Virtual Reality Support
Plugin for Sentiment Analysis
Plugin for NLP Search
Plugin for Predictive Analytics
Plugin for Data Masking
Plugin for Gamification Elements
Plugin for Progressive Web App Support
Plugin for Offline Access
Plugin for 3D Model Integration
Plugin for Custom AI Solutions
Plugin for Automated Translation
Plugin for IoT Compatibility
Plugin for Biometric Authentication
Plugin for Content Fragmentation
Plugin for Chatbot Integration
Plugin for Facial Recognition
Plugin for Subscription Management
Plugin for AR Support
Plugin for Automatic Video Transcription
Plugin for Dark Mode Toggle
Plugin for Content Aging Indicator
Plugin for SEO Auto-Optimization
Plugin for Gesture Control
Plugin for Blockchain-based Decentralization
Plugin for Accessibility Checker
Plugin for Contextual Commerce
Plugin for Behavioral Email Targeting
Plugin for Multi-cloud Support
Plugin for Quantum-Safe Encryption
Plugin for Role-based Dashboards
Plugin for Automatic Summarization
Plugin for Text-to-Speech
Plugin for Podcast Integration
(I shorten the list for simplicity; but I'll leave more in the comments, if you want more ideas).
Yes. "Everything can be a plugin" is my mantra. If only we agree on baselines for writing easy integrations. That's it.
If you, as me, believe in the power of plugins for React development...
