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?

[Retr0ve]

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

[Retr0ve]

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

Thanks for your work @Retr0ve ! Super appreciated!
Don't hesitate to tag me on anything if you want feedback from a UX designer (me!)

[PackElend]

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.
