Thank you!! That was super helpful. I had not seen that post. Looking forward to when they do get that up and running. Thanks again.

First, I'd like to say that I'm excited to try out the new features in Publisher. I am super about the new notes options. That held me back from using Publisher in anything but personal projects because I do a lot of long document publishing. Just a note. I still bought v1 and would have still bought v2 to encourage competition with Adobe, and I realize that Adobe has had many more years to develop their software. However, Serif doesn't have to develop every feature requested by users!!! I suggest (and I'm not the first) that Serif offer an API to programmers to provide scripts and plug-ins to extend the functionality of Publisher (and obviously the other apps). This would be huge and would also create a new ecosystem around the software and brand loyalty. No company has ALL the resources necessary to address every user's demands and should be expected to. So, what I think Serif should do is open up the software to coders to offer (at a cost to the consumer... or as freeware if they desire) extended functionality. This is not only a huge opportunity for coders, but also for Serif, too. This is my suggestion and I was hoping v2 would have had this. I haven't found it in the features. So, I reopen the discussion here and urge Affinity to consider this for the near-term. Yours, Nico

I think a real solution might be for Serif to make an API available for independent developers to produce scripts and plugins like are available for ID. This would both open markets for creative programmers and take the burden off of Serif to have to include every kind of feature request because users would do it. Does anyone from Serif read these threads? Just curious. And if so, is Serif planning on making an API available or supporting third-party scripts like ID does?
