Would be great if you showed installed plugins, whether they are installed from Plink or manually and I think the Mason UI is a great example. One last thing, have a Plink config for ensure installed and a JSON file to store installed plugins so that when you store your nvim setup in git, you don need to search for them.
The plugins did its job already by discovering the plugins by a keyword. It already did the job for plugin visibility. May be the next job could be open project link in the browser. I don't know how it will play out with the installation because people manage plugins differently. (which is core principle of neovim being unopinionated). Anyway I am excited to test it out.
I like the idea. I assume you gonna add file to plugins folder with default setup. In case someone needs change settings he just check that file and updates config
Maybe when you hit enter you will get into clipboard template for installation (that part that goes into plug-in manager configuration). So user can manually paste it where it’s suits best and anyone can use it. Maybe support fully automated installation to some of the most popular distributions (lazy/nvchad).
Well, if extension finder is good for vscode, then it should be good for neovim as well. Such a plugin finder would be great if it would be integrated into a plugin manager, like lazy.nvim . It would be very nice it it could configure the neovim convig files. So overall definetely a good idea to be explored. Its success only depends on the realisation.
This is so nice. If you can do it, that would make a really big upgrage to neovim. I'm thinking about learning lua, to create plugins like that, and work on projects like this, to help the vim comminity grow.

This is awesome! Would love to use this when it matures a bit more and gets released. Also up for beta testing this and help with finding any bugs/improvements!
