Today we're introducing the new #Obsidian Community site, the new developer dashboard, and a roadmap of things to come.

The future of Obsidian plugins:
https://obsidian.md/blog/future-of-plugins/

@obsidian cc @kepano found a bug:

- Go to the new site
- search something
- click on a plugin
- use the back button in your browser
- you land back on the search results page but without the search query in the search field

@obsidian

Thank you for taking the opposite direction to Apple and Google, and encouraging a developer community instead of exploiting it.

And for being the opposite of AI™, by providing a tool for thinking and connecting thoughts.

A perfect system for #SystemsThinking

@obsidian Good job, @kepano and friends. I'm sure this was released a little earlier than originally planned, due to the recent security hysteria.

Will there be a way for developers to provide feedback on the reviews, and maybe have some issues manually approved by the team? E.g. Dataview's "requests to external domain" is a false positive.

@elricofmelnibone @obsidian Actually it was released much later than we expected!

And yes, we have a link there to report false positives/negatives. It's best to submit those via Discord.

@obsidian
Are you using AI (agents) for this? If yes, is our code safe from AI stealing it (for 'learning purposes')?

#noAI

@marc_eu @obsidian It doesn't use AI. The way it works is documented in the blog post. It primarily uses an eslint plugin as well as dependency/malware scanners.

@obsidian this looks great to me. reminds me of the blender extensions platform. their approach is a bit different but either way plugin review is more necessary than ever with all the ai sewage everywhere
@obsidian @kepano something that I recently started wondering is:
Does anything currently happen when a plugin gets compromised and the detection system catches it. But I already have the plugin installed. Will the Obsidian client then tell me to not install that update or...?
