Community directory: filter for mobile-compatible plugins

Use case or problem

I want to find plugins that run on Obsidian mobile. The directory at community.obsidian.md already shows a Platforms field on each plugin page (Claudian reads “Desktop only,” Hot Reload reads “Desktop, Mobile”), but the browse view filters only by type, category, payment model, and official status. With 8,603 plugins listed, there is no way to see only the ones that will run on a phone or tablet.

Proposed solution

Add a “Works on mobile” filter, either as a checkbox under Other next to Official or as its own Platforms group. Plugins already declare isDesktopOnly in their manifests and each plugin page already shows platform, so this filters data the site already has. Since the manifest can only mark a plugin desktop-only, mobile is the one option that narrows the list.

Current workaround (optional)

Open each plugin’s page and read the Platforms field, or check isDesktopOnly in the plugin’s manifest.json on GitHub.

Show icon if Plugin is mobile compatible asked for the label in 2022. That label now exists on each plugin page; this asks for the filter that makes it useful while browsing.
