The idea behind Flow is simple: instead of opening multiple applications to perform common tasks like compressing an image, converting a file, or extracting text from a PDF, users can simply drag and drop a file into Flow and instantly access the actions available for that file type/extension. My goal is to reduce the number of steps required for common tasks.
So far I have designed the overall architecture of the application, created a plugin-based system to make the project easily extensible, implemented a plugin manager that automatically discovers and loads plugins, defined a base FlowPlugin class that all plugins will inherit from, built a simple test plugin to verify that the plugin system works correctly, started developing the graphical interface using CustomTkinter and tkinterdnd2(basically a window that only detects when something gets dropped in there).
