I see more and more help sites being made for plugins and themes. This is a very good thing for Obsidian. While we can often find links to these help sites at GitHub repositories, not all users understand or even enjoy GitHub. For non-developers, it can be confusing.
This feature request promotes an easier way for users to find the end-user documentation of plugins or themes. I suggest adding a button to the Community Plugins listing that is a link to open the help site of a plugin or theme. Basically, it builds on the fundingUrl key in manifest.json. It could look something like this:
Developers could then include in their manifest a key called āhelpUrlā with the link to their help site. I have already started adding this to my plugins with the optimistic hope this could be added:
I would prefer a standard button to link to the pluginās description page, as in the request that Jopp linked. Every plugin has one, and itās often the only documentation. When itās not, it includes a link to the full documentation. (This is similar to how in the Settings > Community Plugins list of installed plugins, the plugin names link to their description pages.)
I see where you are coming from, but my point is GitHub pages, by there nature, are not so user-friendly. I am suggesting it is better to go to the actual help site. I have four active plugins and see many times users get lost in GitHub, no matter how hard I try to clarify that the documentation is referred to from the site.
Iām not suggesting it link to GitHub, but to the description page in the plugin store (āas in the request that Jopp linkedā). I only linked to the GitHub request because itās related; I responded to that one the same with the same alternative.
