Kerri also tells Ash about the Star Trek Resurgence game, while Ash is trying to avoid talking about his new Mac Studio.Adobe Express extensibilityAsh is excited he didn't have to debate what to name Adobe Express extensibility products: add-ons, addons, plug-ins, plugins, scripts, apps, widgets, etc etc. They are called add-ons! Please don't alter our current timeline by calling them something else!Then our co-hosts do a deep-dive. To start, Kerri gives Ash a recap of what Adobe Express is. Building on this basic understanding, Kerri and Ash look at what developers can do with the Express Add-on APIs: Storage and content I/O Icon generation Recoloring Workflows and automationThen Kerri and Ash get into the how by talking through the Adobe team's priorities for APIs, which—at recording time in June 2023—were in private beta:OAuthDrag and dropI/ONetworkingYou can get the docs here.Some early examples of Adobe Express Add-ons that come up:Accessibility (A11y): add-ons for color blindnessAttention Insight: heat map based on AINotion: this add-on doesn't yet!
