Plugin Ideas & Roadmap

Discover upcoming specialized plugins that will extend MediaProc's capabilities. We're building a modular ecosystem where you only install what you need.

Why Specialized Plugins?

The core @mediaproc/image plugin provides 49 essential commands for general image processing. Rather than bloating the core with hundreds of specialized features, we're creating focused plugins for specific use cases.

Benefits of this approach:

• 🚀 Faster Installation - Smaller, focused packages
• ⚡ Better Performance - Load only what you use
• 🎯 Domain Expertise - Each plugin optimized for its purpose
• 🤝 Community Driven - Easier to contribute specialized features
• 📦 Lean Core - Core stays lightweight and fast
