Is it possible to develop plugins for Microsoft Office Communicator? If so, where does one start -- is there an SDK?
The Custom Tabs sample app may be just what you are looking for.
A good place to start would be the SDK. I'm not sure if you can create plugins for it, but since it has a API, you can definitely hook into it from external apps or webpages.

I have developed the plugin in shopware6 and I want to move it to the cloude, How can we do that and manage the versions of plugins as well?
You can't. Within the cloud version you need an APP.
You have to migrate your plugin code to app code. The effort depends on the complexity of your plugin. I.e. a Theme is pretty easy to port from plugin to app system.
But the more backend logic you have the harder it gets. Because apps are more limited then plugins for self-hosted shopware in nature.
You will find some first approaches in the official docs https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/plugins/apps
We are finishing up an Outlook add-in which was written using Angular 8 with typescript. I am doing my investigation into what it will take to write a gmail add-on. I've gone through the quickstart tutorial using Apps Script. I've also looked at the clasp tool.
Is it possible to create a Google add-on with the angular framework?
Thank you.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to build Gmail add-ons with Angular framework.
Gmail add-ons are distinct from "Editor Add-ons"(ie. add-ons built for Google Sheets, Google Docs or Google Forms) and are developed strictly with App Script using a widget-based model.
Furthermore, Gmail Add-on development does not grant developer's direct access to the DOM.
See restrictions of Gmail addons.
The short and simple answer is no.
Google Workspace Add-ons UI are created using the Cards framework. Besides Google Apps Script, nowadays it's possible to use programming languages like Java hosted in Google Cloud Run or other hosting infrastructures as long as they deliver JSON to build the add-on UI using the Cards framework.

You could try using the InboxSDK.
Typically you end up having to manipluate the DOM. This tool caters for most the key functions in an easy to use library.
Not so sure how you will use Angular but it is possible to build rich experiences based on this library.
I am building an outlook web add-in, and while I am developing I will be hitting a localhost url, but when I deploy I'll of course want to point to my production web server.
I found Specify value for ~remoteAppUrl in an Office add-in manifest which is related, but it seems to rely on using Visual Studio to replace a token in the manifest. I'm developing with Atom on a Mac, so that's not really an option for me. I'd rather not duplicate my entire manifest file if possible. I'm guessing that I'll need to create a find-and-replace script. Or is this already a solved problem and there's something out there I don't know about? :) Thanks!
There is no way to specify separate URLs in the manifest for development and production, and unfortunately no plans to add this in the near future. Find and replace (or a script that does so) is your best option currently.
I found no clues in the developer documentation, but equalify claims that it integrates into the desktop application. They don't offer a free version so I couldn't try it out.
Is it possible/supported to create extensions for the desktop client and is there some hidden documentation available?
I'd be interested in developing one, but so far I had no luck in finding any documentation.
It used to be possible using the Spotify Apps API. I think you can still manually sideload apps, but there is no App Store or similar. Moreover, support for old Spotify Apps is about to be dropped completely in the future.
So no, there's no way to extend Spotify as far as I know.
Maybe this is a dumb question!
I'm just wandering is there any way/web part integrating with SharePoint, by which I can communicate with others instantly.
The reason behind this requirement is that I still have not found any workaround to communicate with my colleagues instantly, like MSN, in SharePoint.
P.s If I start building one, where should I get started!
Thanks for your input and forgive me if my question is stupid!
You can integrate Microsoft Office Communcations Server into SharePoint apparently. Gives you access to MSN Messenger internally to your enterprise, among other things.
Users who run Windows Live Messenger will get a precense icon for all user lookups when their email settings are configured properly. It requires all users to add each other to their live accounts, so it might not be the solution you are looking for. Another way to get the precense icon is by using Microsoft Office Communications Server as Moo suggested.
This also integrates well into Outlook and is the way Microsoft decided to implement communication in the Office suit.

Here is another open source feature I have been working on.
EDIT: The name of the feature is Sharepoint Messenger. You can find it either google search, codeplex or the link below.
