Note-taking app users struggle to discover and curate plugins

Obsidian and Logseq users have trouble finding plugins that fit their needs: marketplace listings can be hard to filter or sort, and Obsidian users say there is no straightforward way to save plugins for later. Users who curate compatible plugin combinations also lack an easy way to share the exact set and related notes. A separate catalog could improve discovery and sharing, but it cannot guarantee that plugins will remain compatible as they change.

For obsidian and Logseq plugin users. Mentioned from May 2024 to Jun 2026 on product forums.

  1. But knowing which ones work well together and which don’t is difficult. If I put in the work to make a pack of well known plugins that work together, theres no straightforward way to communicate to other people what the exact set of plugins should be to get the same experience as me
  2. Favourite plugins/themes on the new Community site Use case or problem The new Community Plugins site is nice to browse, but all you can really do when viewing a plugin as a user is install it immediately.
