Gathering Feedback and Input for Centralized Plugin/Addon/Extension Management

[BeatLink]

Hey everyone, Trilium has a really strong architecture for developing plugins including scripts, render notes, widgets, launchers and so on but currently there is no centralized or structured way to share a plugin with the community. This discussion would be about gathering feedback about what features the community would need from a plugin/addon/extension manager and some different ideas for how we can implement one.

Required/Optional Features

• Installing/Uninstalling/Updating Plugins
• Enabling/Disabling Plugins
• Dependency Management (Plugins can depend on other plugins)
• Settings Management (Plugins can store settings according to a structured schema)
• Multiple Repositories (In addition to a centralized plugin repository, the plugin manager should be able to allow installation from independent sources)
• Review, Feedback and Reporting System (To allow users to review plugins, provide feedback and flag dangerous / malicious plugins)

• It would be great to have a plugin manager. I have tried your manager, and it works like a charm.
• I think it would be good to have a central repository where one could submit addons, community governed (the review, feedback, reporting you mentioned). Having the option to access 'third-party' addons would be a bonus
