TiddlyWeb can use plugins to extend the functionality of the system. Plugins can add functionality to the web server, to twanager or both.
A plugin can be distributed for use with other TiddlyWeb installations. For a list of mature plugins, see PyPi.
Plugins are included in a TiddlyWeb instance by editing tiddlywebconfig.py to add system_plugins and/or twanager_plugins.
There is Python package called tiddlywebplugins.utils that includes useful functions for creating plugins.
There is a github repository called pluginmaker that provides boiler plate for creating a new plugin from scratch.
A tiddlywebplugins namespace has been reserved for those plugins which have reached a level of stability where it makes sense for them to be distributed from PyPI.
The best way to learn how to create plugins is to look at existing examples.
