I found this (super short) episode inspiring, on the same topic:

no idea how secure this is or what implications this could have but it's easy and works well for our use case.
this site is very much wordpress: https://www.berghs.se/ but wpdetective won't detect wordpress at all. it has a custom WP_CONTENT_DIR.
here's a similar but less polished version my team created some years ago: http://wppluginchecker.earthpeople.se/?wordpress-site=https%...
it tries a few common variables for WP_CONTENT_DIR, and runs completely in the browser, should you want to take a peek on how we detect WP.

what's nice about organizing a stupid hackathon is that it's really easy. if someting doesn't work out you can just shrug your shoulders and say hey that's stupid. like our livestream for instance. i forgot to plug in the microphone so there was no sound. very stupid!
i love the idea, connecting developer tools via a plugin to the site is genius. this is a very creative way of doing this, and it's perfect.
the user interface on the site is pretty messy though. i've just tried to fetch my first data and it just got to messy to be worth it. it's currently (for me at least) less messy doing this sort of thing manually than clicking around in the interface, and that should give you a hint that the ux needs some work.
will check back in the future though, it looks very promising!
