The following plugin is not listed, but is included in plugins.txt: @capawesome-team/capacitor-nfc

feat: archived/read-only flag

I would love to see an 'archived' or 'read-only' type of flag. The attached images show how the cordova-plugin-contacts repo shows as a result of the search for 'contacts', but when clicking through to the repo we find that it's deprecated.

feat: filter by plugin type/platform

It would be great if you could also filter the plugin type/platform (cordova, capacitor, ...).

feat: mark deprecated/archived plugins

The following plugin is archived on GitHub as it is no longer maintained: @robingenz/capacitor-app-update.
Unfortunately, no notice appears in the search results that the project is deprecated/archived.

Related to #23

Also, it would be great if there was also a way to filter archived plugins so they don't show up at all if desired.

feat: improve sorting of results

I would like to suggest adjusting the sorting of results as follows:

1. Capacitor plugins come first
2. Then the plugins are sorted by number of downloads in descending order

If I search for barcode, I would expect, for example, the Capacitor Community Barcode Plugin high up. However, it is somewhere in the middle.

feat: add search term to url

I would like to share a link to my search and results. Unfortunately, the search term is not appended to the URL when searching.

Some plugin's links are not working

For example, this plugin is listed, but the link is not working:
@modea/capacitor-salesforce-chat

feat: allow maintainers to provide additional meta information

There should be a way to provide the Capacitor Plugin Registry with additional information about a plugin that is not available via npm.
This can be the case either if the information is not available on npm or if the plugin is distributed via another npm registry.
Examples of such information are:

• What platforms are supported? (For example, the package @capawesome/capacitor-photo-editor only supports Android, but Android and iOS are shown).
• Is the package currently being maintained?
• Who is the author?
• Link to the GitHub repository
• Link to the installation instructions
• ...

Plugin authors could easily provide this information via JSON files (similar to the React Native Directory).

One possible scheme would be:

{
  "githubUrl": "https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-plugins",
  "npmPkg": "@capawesome-team/capacitor-nfc",
  "author": "Robin Genz",
  "license": "MIT License",
  "platforms": ["android", "ios", "web"],
  "private": true,
  "unmaintained": false,
  ...
}
