Sketch Toolbox - A very basic start to a Plugin Manager for Sketch

over 9 years ago from Shahruz Shaukat, Super Deluxe, Sketch Toolbox, Seinfeld Emoji, etc

As promised in the thread from yesterday, here's the very beginnings of a plugin manager for Sketch. It's extremely basic right now, and neither the interface nor the code are very pretty right now, but I think it could potentially be useful (at least until Bohemian Coding puts out their own solution!).

I'm going to continue to make improvements in functionality, as well as polishing up the interface and the code as well (which again, is all very sloppy right now). I hope to have it in a much better state after a couple more evenings of work.

Let me know what you think! And please feel free to get involved if you'd like!

Works great, thanks!
Some feature requests (already): - Organizing plugins by the ammount of stars on the Github repo - Description pulled from Github and/or link to the Github repo

  Totally agree with the project ! Great idea Shahruz !
  One more feature: - A submit button to allow people to add new plugins

    All really good ideas!
    The Submit Button is an interesting thing, since I'm currently not managing the catalog on my own, but using github.com/sketchplugins/plugin-directory instead. This may or may not change in the future. Hoping I can find a way to work with the people in charge of that closely.
    Not to discourage conversation on DN about all this, but if you can post your suggestions/requests/etc as GitHub Issues, it'll be far easier to manage for people finding this outside DN!
    Thanks!

      Sure, in the future, I'll use github ;-)

  Right now, it requires Xcode on your machine so that you can build and run it. Just a consequence of getting this up fast, sorry.
  I'm planning to have a downloadable .app file up by sometime tonight, so that anyone can just download the app and run it like they would any other!

This looks great! Does anyone want to bundle this and put it in the app store. Also @Shahruz, there is no licensing information. Could you please add one?

  I'm going to bundle it and link to it in the repo, as well as via a simple microsite I think. Likely sometime tonight.
  I don't want to put it into the App Store (at least not immediately), because it's so early on and unstable.
  I'll be adding licensing information soon as well.

Please make a blog for this or a maillist, so we can have updates when new versions are live. This is to good to forget.
