[Feature Request] Make plenti a caddy plugin

[Malcolm Ke Win]

I rely on the two caddy plugins of https://github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare and https://github.com/klzgrad/forwardproxy/tree/naive/ currently,
so I can't leave the caddy ecosystem,
but I very much yearn for the functionality of dynamic scripts and Svelte templates for the web server (caddyserver/caddy#2690),
is there any way to integrate the plenti into the caddy server?

Hi @diyism, that's an interesting concept, are you mainly looking to compile Svelte components in Go directly? I mean you could always point Caddy at the built assets that Plenti produces (we're actually evaluating Caddy for a hosted Plenti service), but it doesn't sound like that's what you're looking to do in this case? I guess I don't fully understand what it would look like to build a custom website using a Caddy plugin, but would enjoy being enlightened if you have ideas. Thanks!

I see that when I run "./plenti serve" it needs 2 seconds to build the files in the "public" directory.

I can't find an example plugin that I want for Caddy web server,

but there's a standalone project "algernon" (https://github.com/xyproto/algernon),
after I run "./welcome.sh", I can modify the file of "algernon/samples/greetings/index.md",
and immediately the content changed in the web page of "http://localhost:3000/greetings/",
it's amazing.

but what a pity:

1. algernon doesn't support svelte files, (xyproto/algernon#125)
2. algernon is not a caddy plugin, I need to forward traffic from the caddy to algernon's 127.0.0.1:3000 port.

so, I'm dreaming:

1. Plenti can realize the realtime-rendering function for svelte files(for example "index.svelte")
2. Plenti is a caddy plugin, I need only start the caddy server to avoid the traffic forwarding and a seperate process.
