Hi @alexzurbonsen thanks for this, but we are unlikely to merge this into if-unofficial-plugins. The reason is that ultimately want to remove this repo entirely and encourage people to build new plugins in their own repositories separate from the IF. This is because the vision is to have thousands of plugins and we don't want the core team's ability to maintain them to be a bottleneck on ecosystem growth. So, in summary I encourage you to develop this in your own repo. This is exactly the kind of plugin we want people to host externally to IF. |

@jmcook1186 sure, makes sense to me. I also wasn't sure what you idea is on how this should be handled. There is also a hackathon issue for this and I wanted to share what I worked on so far with the group. Thus, it is still a draft and will remain one. |
|
What's the vision on how people should find existing plugins, by the way? Is there some sort of registry? |
|
Yes, there will be - we were just sketching out some plans for this earlier in the week. Without committing to a specific path right now, we anticipate maintaining some kind of simple centralized list or explorer for other people's plugins. (tbh right now there aren't very many, so this is a problem for after the hackathon when the available set is much larger) |

Thanks for the info. That is good to know. Sorry, if I missed this piece of information in the docs somewhere. |

There is also an example manifest file for the puppeteer plugin.
