Check out pages for the place where you can add arbitrary frontend code right now.

Like this: dev.to/shecoded

As far as further customization, we will be adding more but trying to tread gradually and err on the side of domain-specific language/configβ€” as to create a certain amount of constraint.

So don't worry, we will be giving out further space for customization in a variety of ways, and as @link2twenty pointed out, including plugins.... But we're not trying to rush in too fast and create scenarios which make ongoing platform evolution more difficult at this stage.

I believe there was talk to allow plugins (and a plugin marketplace) so people can add features to their forem. You would write your additional code (be it a new theme or some custom functionality) in the plugin style then you can load that in with no problem.

I'm not sure what the road map is or how high a priority that feature was but I'm sure we'll hear more about the road map soon.
