Make installed community plugin information available offline

Use case or problem

Sometimes I’m forced to work offline, and I find that I may need information on the installed plugin configuration or usage instructions, for example Dataview syntax.

Proposed solution

Make the plugin information (as available when online) accessible offline.

Current workaround (optional)

None

Had similar thoughts recently. What if the community plugins and themes included the repository’s README.md file along with the manifest.json, theme.css, main.js et al?

Exactly what I had in mind!

My workaround is just to keep a clone of the GitHub repository in a local vault. Has all the docs and the source code too! This may be overkill, but it works

Interesting. The Readmes bundled with plugins aren’t usually the full support docs, but I can see the utility in many cases.

Obsidian has the power to be the best “offline” second brain vault.
to have an offline help for the plugins should be standard!
