ZeresPluginLibrary (ZPL) is a foundational utility resource for BetterDiscord, designed to provide common functions and developer tools that other plugins rely on to function correctly. ⚠️ Status: End of Life (EOL)

For users, it's a simple "install and forget" requirement. For developers, it used to save hours of work, but the built-in BetterDiscord API now offers similar ease with better native support. Longevity zeres plugin library

• Purpose (audit, personal use, company approval)
• Platform/host app
• Whether you can share a link to the library

Zeres is proposed as a lightweight, header-only (or native binary) library that treats plugins not merely as external symbols, but as first-class citizens of the application's dependency graph. Zeres enforces a strict contract between the Host and the Plugin, ensuring that objects are validated before instantiation.

Example use:

2. Simplicity Over Scripting

Photoshop requires you to write JavaScript or use the complex "Conditional Actions" interface. GIMP requires Scheme or Python scripting. Zeres uses a visual interface. You check boxes, drag sliders, and arrange the order of operations. No code required.

Key features (what it provided)

• Reusable UI primitives (settings panels, toggles, text inputs, modals).
• Helpers for working with Discord internals (module finders, patching helpers).
• Convenience functions for storage, logging, and fetching data.
• Build tooling (zpl CLI) to scaffold and package plugins into .plugin.js files and optionally copy them to a BetterDiscord plugins folder.
• Example plugins, docs and tutorials to speed up onboarding for new authors.
