i have an idea but i am not sure if it will fit with the project

heyyyyy, so i maintain a fork of degoog where i have added a global auth to the instance, so i can expose it publically without having everyone using it. but i was wondering if:
1: if i made a pr would it be accepted (the global auth is enabled via env variable)
2: if its possible to maybe make a plugin instead that does this. i am currently looking into how plugins work but im not too sure of the feasability of it

thanks a lot for making degoog, i use it as my main engine now

Hey!
There actually no way to do exactly that via plugin.

You can however create a Middleware plugin to target the settings page.

What you want to do is a bit out of scope for the project, also the Auth would need to cover all endpoints on top of the frontend and would need to be tight enough or it'll be pointless (haven't seen your fork so I don't know the level of work you put into this)

I'm more inclined to work together in expanding the middleware plugin to allow for different level of "Middleware", for now it could be for the settings gate and for the app itself (would be cool as people can come up with all sort of things happening before the app loads).

What do you think?
Sorry that was a lot of words lol

yea i agree it would be better as a plugin, im gonna look around the plugin system and see if i can extend it.
thanks a lot!
