Obsidian plugins reached 100 million total downloads!
2026 will be a big year for #Obsidian plugins. The plan is to make plugins easier to discover, safer to use, simpler to build, and faster to approve.

@kepano Can you eypand the API for pop-ups? I have a plugin that shows custom MD in popups when hovering over certain tags, and it was a PITA to make and depends on internal APIs (so I can't publish it).
@kepano "year for plugins" sounds great 💜
@kepano Can you elaborate on the safety plans? I occasionally submit patches to plugins, and I'm often horrified by how many awful and vulnerable NPM dependencies they use.
@elricofmelnibone non-exhaustively: verified authors, stricter disclosures, automatic code scanning, more user feedback/filtering mechanisms, more controls for allowed plugins for businesses
@kepano Sounds good. Is there anything the community can do to pitch in?
@kepano I think I’m 1% off that graph
@kepano From the graph you shared it seems that there are plugins with over 5 millions download. My questions is: why these plugins are not natively integrated into obsidian if they're so used by the community?
@DieDammerung Many have been! Plugins both small and large have been inspiration for core features.
