Is there a way to augment existing apps?

There are a number of apps that are pretty basic and only expose the most simple endpoints that their host API exposes.

Is there a way to either privately augment an app, or take a copy of it to then extend it.

I have looked at the suggestions exchange and there’s Buckley’s chance of my need being met through that channel.

HI @Vimvim,

The most basic apps still are helpful because they all expose the universal Make an App module and take care of authentication.

Apps are not open sourced, so there is no way of building on top of existing apps. You’ll have to build a new Custom App from scratch. But since the app is basic and only expose the most simple endpoints that their host API exposes, it is not much work.

Cheers,
Henk

Building an app is straightforward until it’s not though. I’ve started this with another app. Would be so much easier to be able to reutilise work already done.
