That sounds great and is something that is already considered to some extent in the current software architecture. Can you name one exact feature that you would like to add? Also, feel free to reach out to us via email. We would be happy to help you write the first plugin/extension :)

The basic gist of one feature I want to add is a cell delimiter split that turns one row into more rows (repeating the nonsplit cells) with grouping to determine whether the splits happen concurrently or sequentially if multiple of such splits happen in the same row (resulting in a Cartesian product-like result or not). Right now you only have a split that turns one column into more columns.

I have code for this already and I'd just want to add it to the UI.

Sounds interesting and very similar to a combination of a string split and then unpivot/melt if I understood you correctly. Please feel free to reach out to us via email: info AT 8080labs.com and then we can discuss how you can create an extension if you like :)
