Can you elaborate on this? Curious to thoughts on this.

A lot of more recently developed applications (HA/Raycast/Figma) have moved to a place where their plugins/integrations code has been internalized/taken up into the main code base and in that way needs to pass code/security standards and are certain to have been reviewed. Harder to contribute, but also increasing quality/trust potentially? Take my thoughts here with a grain of salt, but it is a relevant topic due to the fact that with Node-RED’s custom node system it is currently hard to know which ones are good + actively maintained. Survey results point in this direction as well as an opportunity to improve upon.
