3> Relevant to adult social shares
4> Traffic exchange
5> TGP
6> Blogging
7> Social features such as comments etc.
Advanced search and algorithm based sorting - Your forte I understand, could be part of the core -
The list is endless...
The twist is that this would all be pushed as plain HTML pages by a central core script to the main (very basic, fast) HTML server meaning that the script could even be a desktop (Electron?) application - It would need templates that would need to be as simple as possible. The plugins would have settings in the core to customise them.....
Some functionality could be done on a subdomain on a cheap VPS, things like form processing - Email marketing etc - Again some basics in the core but with the ability to use plugins...
These are a few random ideas I have have had - But it boils down to the idea of a incredibly fast site with only HTML, CSS and CDN hosted media on most of the front end - The only non-html pages would be user admin and data processing pages on a separate subdomain on a seperate server that would not be indexed.....
I think this is the way WP will go eventually. A lot of people are doing it in a way with Headless and WP but they are just scraping pages produced by WP. They have very limited functionality and I think are far from ideal - You are stuck using a loads of third party apps to replicate functionality and most are not adult friendly - Comments by Discus is an obvious one...
I am sure this sort of setup is already being planned and development has started for similar mainstream projects - Lets get (Adult) in on the ground floor and show them how it's done - We used to be the group that drove innovation on the internet.....
Sorry that was all a bit random, but it is basically just following my thought process - I have been thinking about this for months - You have just gotten a look into my brain, it's no wonder I have issues!..
We shall call it "EDDYTHEDOG" - LOL.....

Good post thank you, this is basically what I was talking about. I called them modules, plugins would be the same thing. The API endpoints would be front end agnostic, you could create your web app and native iOS/Android app using the same back end with whatever front end technology that you wish. Basic HTML pages generated by php, python, whatever in the backend would work fine. Using a javascript framework like react or vue or whatever would work fine. Vanilla JS using the simple fetch method on the API to pull in data would be fine. For WordPress, since it's so popular, there could be an extendable WP plugin that would make calling into the end points simple with no coding required. For example, display your TGP page in the main content area, but still have your sidebar and header managed by WP. This could go in a million different directions, I am just saying I like the idea of separation.
