I've just tried your work from this link Joplin Plugins (I'm assuming it's the latest version?)

One feedback I have: When I click the See More button on any plugin in the homepage, I would expect it to open in the same tab. Currently, it always open in a new tab and I think that's weird.

  • Should a click on the plugin name not also open the plugin page?
  • I think the link to the homepage_url should also be displayed, not only the repository_url.
  • Maybe it makes sense not to display the link directly but only labels, if someone has configured a long URL in the plugin, this could lead to a strange look on the web page?
    I know that VSCode lists only a Label under and not the link directly, how is this handled in other tools?
    What do the others think?

Thanks for your feedback! I see other plugin stores do open their detail page in the same tab, I'll make this change soon!

All of your suggestions are practical and they make sense to me. I will implement them soon! :grinning:

9 posts were split to a new topic: Plugins - Proprietary licences and open-source licence categories

as the final evaluation is not far anymore.
Could you share in the next report what is necessary to reach a release state?

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. This is going to be a huge improvement for the Joplin ecosystem.
