Use case or problem
It is difficult to discover safe, helpful plugins inside of the Obsidian Community Plugin Browse tool.
Proposed solution
The new Obsidian Community site is far superior to the in-app plugin “store”. It’s plugins section has far better features for plugin safety including security reviews and scorecards.
These features seem to have zero visibility in the Obsidian app.
It would be so helpful to the community if the in app plugin browser included these features. At the very least, there should be a prominent link to each plugin page.
I think one of the reasons they haven’t done it yet is because of this:
Once the feature is more stable, I would expect it to be added.
I’m loving the https://community.obsidian.md/ website where I can review the security of plugins. I think it was much needed.
It would be great to be able to have a high level overview of the security information inside of the obsidian app when browsing community plugins. At a minimum, showing the Health and Review traffic lite ratings shown, with a direct link to the relevant community page if someone wanted to dig in deeper.
I’m always wary when adding new plugins to my system and this would add a small bit comfort when exploring new features.
Yeah there may be errors, but it is still far better than what we get in-app. I think we should at least link to the community page.
