Implement plugins. Lua script plugins same as xournalpp (xopp) which I heard is now an importable file type.

This can be combined with #868.

I don't think compatibility with Xournal++ would be a good fit, since Butterfly uses a fundamentally different editor architecture.

Beyond that, I'm still unsure how broad the plugin API should be. For example, should plugins only be able to add new tools and elements, or should they also be able to modify and extend existing ones?

I'll add this to the future list for now:

future Ideas that have a low priority.

For my use case i want to sync strokes from mobile to pc. So I guess that is extending existing ones. How does collaboration work currently?

But this wouldn't be related to lua plugins? If you want you can join the matrix/discord server or make a discussion.
The collaboration see here: https://butterfly.linwood.dev/docs/v2/collaboration/.
You have two options: WebSockets (which will host a server on your app where people can connect) or Swamp (where you connect to a swamp server which works like a room system like Skribbl.io or the excalidraw collaboration system). Please note that this is currently behind an experiment you can toggle on in the settings
