    My biggest request by far is to have some sort of centralized permissions system for which groups have access to different functionalities of plugins. This permissions system would allow both user-specific and group-specific permission configuration and would mitigate the amount of small, permission-only plugin admin pages.

    This could be done by adding the hook filter:permissions.addFields and then doing something like the database module to get permissions of a certain user or group. This, along with a simplification of settings, would be super helpful for easier creation of plugins. Plugins are going to be the best part of this platform, and if they can be created with more ease, then this platform will be embraced more. This could be done via a plugin, but it would be so much better if it were included in the core.

    Client side features requested:

    API for accessing certain server-side functionalities. Post parsing on the client side (so I don't have to include markdown.js).

    Also, I should mention that after I'm done working on the 5 or so plugins I have in queue, I'm planning on developing a very strong polyfill server-side module library for bringing all browsers up to standard based on user-agent (to minimize unnecessary code).

    I'm all for implementing features if there is a demand or direct benefit, but while I know discourse does this, the main thing I have to ask is WHY?!

    In my opinion, it offers nothing but information clutter to the end user.

    I honestly don't care how many times people have clicked the link, I only care whether it's blue or purple. When I go into a topic, I go there to see the new replies to that topic, not to be viralised off to some other link, "Buzzfeed style"

    That's my opinion, of course, and prevailing trends usually dictate what goes into NodeBB core. Something like this would be great as a plugin (filter:post.parse for the link counter, and widget for the internal links).

    This would be a good as a plugin, there should be no reason to love or hate this feature as long as there is some demand for it. That means that maybe its worth implementing. Just like the debate on forum signatures

    If anybody wants to implement this they should look at this plugin by @baris, should be a very good starting point imo
