Description of the new feature / enhancement
This issue is intended to be a discussion, not a bug report or feature suggestion. If this topic has a negative impact, I will close it.
For a long time, powertoys run lacked a convenient platform or tool to track, download, install, and update various plugins.
This can be broken down into the following steps:
Create a manifest repository similar to: https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher.PluginsManifest
Create a command line tool that can get the manifest file, download the plugin and put it to the corresponding plugin directory, and also has functions such as checking for updates and uninstalling.
A further step is to implement a GUI, or another PTRun plugin to call this tool.
In other aspects, I hope to allow developers to write plugins in other languages (such as JavaScript, Python). This can greatly accelerate the evolution of the ecosystem. Wox itself supports plugins in different languages, and I think this is achievable.
We can start a community organization to do these things.
Scenario when this would be used?
When you look for more PTRun plugins.
