Yes! The devs would have to accept your pull request for it to be merged into the main instance, but even if they don’t, you don’t have to use the main instance, you can spin up your own which you build out whatever features you want on.
I love this thing that people forget about open source. Like the whole FreeCAD community, there’s a whole group of people who don’t even use the vanilla UI–because they don’t have to, haha! Of course, it does take skill, but if you’re skilled enough to make pull request…
I am a shitty programmer, and I would never want most of what I do to go anywhere near Main.
But as you said, I have a few things that I run as forks, with my own little tweaks.
