This plugin is being developed to test some concepts of creating Apps, which do not rely on a Go executable being installed on the Mattermost server/cluster to extend functionality. The Apps will not be able to use Go RPC to communicate with the Mattermost Server, only through the "App Plugin" which acts as a sort of proxy to the server's activity.
Apps will generally be communicating with our REST API and authenticating via OAuth.
This is a precursor to our "Mattermost Apps" and "Mattermost Apps Marketplace" we are currently researching.
Join the "Integrations and Apps" channel to provide thoughts and feedback.
