Trilium Plugin Update Checker

[browneyedsoul]

Hey everyone! I made a simple script that lets you know when your plugins have updates available.

What it does

Checks GitHub release tags against your installed plugin versions on startup
Shows a toast in the bottom-right corner when there's a newer version, with a link to the release
Checks once per hour, so it won't spam the API

How it works

Compatible plugins save their version to localStorage (e.g. trilium-plugin-outliner: "1.0.0"). The update checker picks these up automatically — nothing to configure.

Installation

1. Create a new Code Note
2. Set type to JS Frontend
3. Paste the code
4. Add label #run=frontendStartup
5. Refresh Trilium

Works with plugins from browneyedsoul/trilium-plugins out of the box. Other plugin authors can also adopt the same localStorage convention to make their plugins compatible.

Quick test

Want to see it in action right away? Install the outliner v1.0.0 (there's a newer version available, so the toast should fire).

If you run into any issues or have ideas to improve it, drop a comment here or open an issue on the repo — would love to hear your thoughts!
