[question] Should we separate plugins & packages in the README?

Currently both plugins & packages are mentioned under same "Package" sub-heading.

It will be more easier to browse for the visitors, if plugins (exposing some native OS functionality to Dart (or Flutter) / containing native code / making native OS method calls / exposing any other third party non-Dart library (C/C++, obj-C, Rust or Go?) to Dart (or Flutter) / FFI bindings) & package (Flutter widgets implementing "native" design or decorations / other Dart-only utilities) are mentioned under separate headings.

Just an opinion, I thought in future number of packages/plugins/apps is definitely going to increase, so list may end up cluttered.

I think should add categories to package/plugin, like as
UI, Media, Storage, Utils or more.

Make it look like this:

Packages

UI

  • PKGA
  • PKGB

Media

  • PKGC
  • PKGD

Storage

  • PKGE
  • PKGF

Utils

  • PKGG
  • PKGH

Separate sections for platform-specific packages (dbus, win32, ...) could also work, but the more sections you have the harder it gets to choose between overlapping sections. Alternatively, platform-specific packages could be marked with badges.

Closing. Thanks for consideration!
