Theme Extension support about bruno HOT 4 CLOSED

This work ranks lower in priority compared to some of the other features we have in the pipeline like #45 and #46
We just launched the product to public on Oct 17th, I feel its too early to jump into working on extensions before we get some traction.

As is stands today, I look forward to get the theme schema ratified by mid nov 2022 post which we can start working on supporting popular themes.

Hey @helloitsm3
Totally onboard with this.

I'd broadly categorise extensions into two kinds.

1. Theme extensions (Theme Store)
2. Functionality extensions (Bruno Plugins)

We'll start with supporting Theme extensions and build a theme store, we can use the experience we gain from this and then move on to functionality extensions (which is more complex to design well)

Now before we get started with theme extensions, we need to have a good schema model ready so that theme authors can easily author a team. We must note that its not easy to change this schema (once people publish themes).
So it's very important to get the schema right (as right as possible).

Ive got something decent to start with here. https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/main/packages/bruno-app/src/themes/light.js
This needs to be further refined. Once this is done, we will build some popular themes like monokai, dracula, material etc as support it by default. And after this we will design a system for devs to publish their theme extensions.

A long way to go, Here is how the approx timeline looks like atm

• Ratify theme schema (mid of nov) - want to take sufficient time to ratify this
• Support popular themes (end of nov)
• design system for others to publish theme extensions (dec)
• allow people to publish their own themes (beginning of jan)

Sounds good. I'm happy to discuss this further. How can we go about doing this?

Theming is being implemented as a part of the Pro Edition of Bruno.
The Pro Edition code is not opensource.
Hence closing this issue.
