Make it easier to install plugins

[a3chron]

Rather low prio, would add more plugins first and all that, but in the long run it should be easier for user to install plugins, this would be the place then, to gather some possible options

imo the probably most ux friendly way would be in the bs settings, an "install new plugin" button, input field for the unique name, and thats it, gets downloaded to some default or user-specified folder.
In addition to this option maybe a simple website just iterating over all directories here (could take the directory name as unique specifier, as they have to be unique), and listing them with maybe some additional info in the manifest like author, or some description that could be added, optionally in a more detailed view also the contents of a README.md plugin authors could add to their plugins directory with usage etc., just an idea...

Hey! Totally agree with you — there are so many possibilities to improve plugin management. I’ve actually been thinking about taking a page from Raycast’s playbook: having a website with a plugin list where you can install them in one click. That’s why I set up a separate GitHub repo and list all plugins in one place, to lay the groundwork for later.

Also, a contributor recently merged a PR that slightly improves plugin management (even though it’s still just handling things in a local folder). It makes the system a bit better in the meantime.

That said, I don’t want to put too much effort into this just yet, since I still need to finish the plugin creation part first.
