Hi Jordan,
My guess is that (at least at present) the interest here is minimal.
Your idea for exchanging much longer messages is pretty far from the
core goals of the modes supported in WSJT-X.
Please don't let my comment discourage you from proceeding as you wish,
toward something new.

Hi devs,
I have not heard back from the group yet. I'm fine to drop this and move
along, as I don't want to waste my or your time. I am just looking for a
quick yes/no reply:
*Is there interest in including something like this in the official
wsjtx app?*

Thank you for your time!
Best,

Hi team!
This is a follow-up to my email I sent out back in August of last
year. Since my last message, I've been experimenting with many
different digital modes while operating portable, including FT8. The
mode is fantastic for low power portable operating, often allowing
QSOs farther under the noise than even Contestia/Olivia.
In this exploration, I've found a set of ham radio operators that
are incredibly interested in the properties of FT8, but have need
for extended free text QSOs and keyboard to keyboard communication.
I've been exploring this space since.
From my last email, you can see an example of this in action here:
_https://widefido.wistia.com/medias/7bb1uq62ga
<https://widefido.wistia.com/medias/7bb1uq62ga>_
However, since then, I've been experimenting with a standard form UI
similar to what you would see in Fldigi and others for keyboard to
keyboard communication. I've attached a photo of this here.
My question to Joe and the group are:
1) is this something being actively worked on by other developers?
2) is there interest in including something like this in the
official wsjtx build?
3) what's the process to get community contributions included?
Thanks!
Best,
Jordan
