Unlocking the Future of Common Ground: Introducing Our Plugin System!
We're excited to share a significant advancement in Common Ground's architecture: a brand new plugin system! This opens the door for developers and community members to extend the platform's functionality in exciting new ways.
What are Plugins?
Plugins are custom extensions that can be integrated into Common Ground. They're rendered within secure iframes, ensuring the stability and security of the core platform while allowing for a high degree of customization.
How Can I Build a Plugin?
We've made it easy to get started! We've released a JavaScript plugin skeleton available through github. This provides a basic structure and includes a documented postMessage API for communication between the plugin and Common Ground. This API allows plugins to interact with the platform, access data, and trigger actions.
You can create plugins in your community settings. Every plugin also generates a public and private key pair that you can copy-paste into the example plugin, which enables trusted communication between your plugin backend and the Common Ground Platform.
What's Next for the Plugin API?
The postMessage API is just the beginning! We'll be continuously expanding its capabilities to enable even more powerful and innovative plugins. We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we develop this crucial feature.
Get Involved!
  • Join the #Feature ideas channel to discuss plugin development and share your ideas.
  • Stay tuned for more detailed documentation and tutorials.
Notes for all options:
  • Links are crucial: Replace the bracketed placeholders with actual links to the npm package, GitHub repository (if applicable), and relevant Common Ground channels.
  • Target Audience: Consider your audience. The long version is best for developers and technically inclined users. The short version is good for a general announcement.
  • Visuals: Include screenshots or a short video demonstrating a simple plugin in action. This will make the announcement more engaging.
  • Security: Briefly mention the security measures in place (iframe isolation) to reassure users.
  • Feedback: Explicitly encourage feedback and suggestions.
  • Documentation: A link to comprehensive documentation is essential for developers. If you don't have it yet, prioritize creating it.
  • Example Plugin: Consider showcasing a simple example plugin to inspire others.
  • Token Gating (Future Consideration): Down the line, you could explore allowing plugins to be gated behind token ownership, creating exclusive features for token holders.
  • Legal/Terms of Service: Consider adding a brief disclaimer about plugin usage and adherence to Common Ground's terms of service.

Okay, here are some tweet suggestions for the Common Ground plugin announcement, leaning into an enthusiastic and exciting tone. I've broken them down by length (short, medium, and long) and included some hashtag suggestions. Please read the notes at the bottom – they're important for maximizing reach and engagement.

Notes for Tweets:
  • Link is ESSENTIAL: Always include a link to the article/blog post or the npm package.
  • Visuals: Crucially, include a visual! A short video demoing a plugin, a screenshot of the plugin skeleton, or even a fun graphic will drastically increase engagement. Tweets with visuals perform significantly better.
  • Tag Relevant Accounts: If you've collaborated with anyone or want to highlight specific developers, tag them in the tweets.
  • Thread Strategy: For the longer, more detailed announcements, a thread is highly recommended. Break down the information into digestible chunks.
  • Schedule & Promote: Don't just post once! Schedule multiple tweets over several days to reach a wider audience.
  • Engage with Replies: Respond to comments and questions promptly to foster a conversation.
  • Consider a GIF: A short, looping GIF demonstrating the plugin system would be incredibly eye-catching.
  • Use Emojis Sparingly: While enthusiasm is good, too many emojis can look spammy.
To help me refine these further, could you tell me:
  • Do you have a visual (image or video) to accompany the tweets?
  • Are there any specific developers or accounts you'd like me to tag?
