Plugins page needs improvement

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Would be great if plugins.lita.io were linked from the front-page.

I think right now what we have is good, but it's very developer centric. From the user's point of view, when I enter the website, I'd like to see what ready-to-use functionality I have in Lita.

Also it'd be great to get plugins categorised (fun vs practical), but looking at the source code it seems like all plugins would have to get their .gemspecs modified to provide that?

The plugin site is in the navigation of the main site. A way of categorizing plugins has been requested before, and would be a welcome addition.

@jimmycuadra The question: I guess we'd have to do it via gemspecs of each individual plugin?

Probably. Something like spec.metadata = { "lita_plugin_tags" => "comma-separated list of tags" } is how I'd imagined it, but I'm not married to that implementation if there are better ideas.
