[Feature Request] Host a webpage that we can explore launcher plugins #61

cansozbir commented 2 years ago

Hello, As I said in the title, a website where we can explore new plugins for the launcher would be great. While that would allow it easier for users to find plugins, it would also increase the attention of developers to develop new plugins. It can be on a webpage or a readme file in this launcher repo. Currently, Ulauncher, a very famous launcher on Linux, has this feature. https://ext.ulauncher.io/

Even a wiki page on this github could be a good start. For example, dotbot uses this method.

You can also make it a Discussion category here: https://github.com/pop-os/launcher/discussions.

It's an easy way for users to submit extensions and have the ability to update them without needing manual approval like a wiki. Users can search the category and upvote the ones they use and they will show higher in the results for others.

Although it's not perfect: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/3706

Templates are "on the roadmap"
