GpgFrontend supports extensive module development, allowing users to customize their experience. Modules can encapsulate functionality, enabling users to enable or disable features as needed. Users can refer to existing module code for guidance and are encouraged to contribute to the Module Repository to reach a broader audience.
As the development is still in its infancy, there are not enough modules and many API interfaces have not been stabilized. So the discussion is open for the development of new modules and the introduction of API interfaces.
