PLUGINS
Plugins
Nightdrive keeps the core lean and lets you add the rest. Pick plugins when you install, or add them any time later from the launcher (System › Install) or a terminal. One acting up? Turn it off without uninstalling it, and back on when you like.

MAKE YOUR OWN
A plugin is a folder
A name and a README, and whatever it needs: a top bar icon with its menu, keys, a service, a command. The guide has it all on one page, with a small plugin to copy. Keep yours in a repo of your own, and anyone can add it with one command.
