But it could be something very small and basic but performs an awesome task and is easy to dissect and see how it’s done.

For example… The first module I’m thinking of creating is one which creates a sitemap.xml file live using queries. SC already does most of the work, it’s just the writing of the XML file which can’t be done at the moment. But my thinking is that now we can create such a module.

When you just write a new Hjson file describing the UI, you can hit the reload icon in Server Connect toolbar to load the new definition.
If you don’t have a Hjson file you won’t see anything new on the UI 
So can someone technically use this to implement a pouchdb module?

yes by nodejs
PouchDB needs much deeper database integration in Wappler and we are working on it, so it is coming up.

Would it make sense to use sub-folders inside? Specially when people start adding extensions from others. It will improve structure specially if you need a js, an hjson and optionally other files and for a future zip packaging feature.

I just noticed that Enum advanced display docs are missing.
Another small improvement I think will help a lot with readability.
Same as you have a blue string for core modules like “set value” to show the name
Could you add the “name” as a string to the SC steps and bindings picker window for custom modules?
Yes you can, just use as title:
Module title: @@var(nameVar)@@
Where nameVar is the variable name you want to display
A thing that would be cool for the future is to be able to populate droplists from outside sources
by defining in the hjson file a call to a helper function in the module js file. This helper would call the external source(API, file, etc) and populate the dropdown with the data it returns.
i.e. API Modules
I was about to start creating a module for Sendgrid and I wanted to be able to populate a dropdown with the transactional email templates.
Therefore I would need to call with the helper this endpoint and return the results to the droplist.
This would allow cool integrations.

Having also extensive output schema can also be challenging to define. For example if you want to wrap a good API in a module like stripe or the google APIs they return pretty large outputs
