Hi @mnesarco @PhoneDroid
Really terrific job! The workflow and the addons report are very nice, well done!

Was wondering: how open are you to the idea of supporting different output formats?
Currently, addons reports are generated as finite HTML. They work well, but could maybe be integrated a bit better into FreeCAD web infrastructure?
As you may know, I am currently working on the website overhaul.
So, instead of having yet another add-hoc HTML generator: how about focusing the addon-reports work on the analysis and data generation, and let the integration of its output into the web infra as a second/different step?
I could port all of the current template into the Hugo SSG one, so improvements brought to the website can benefit the "live" addons report too. It is a bit different from Jinja but the gist is pretty the same.
I am OK with whatever output format you prefer (e.g. JSON or else). I will not tackle this port right now (have to complete the website migration first), but that could be really nice and fairly easy (you did the heavy job already!). Maybe some CSS tweaks for better support on mobile.

Thank you, have a good one!
