Hi Davi, This is a great news.
We are really open to any kind of contribution to the Studio (and the Server too!). Your idea seems interesting and I think it may find its place in the Studio. Although it would be great if you could elaborate a little more on it, so we can think about if and how we could integrate it in existing plugins. Thanks for your proposal. ;) Looking forward to read more about it.
