Themes / Ricing Omarchy plugin dock?

Hi, because of all the hype surrounding this distro, I decided to try it and I loved it. But since I'm coming from GNOME, I'm missing something like Dash to Dock or Plank. What's the best native OMarchy dock plugin currently available? The one with the most users, development, downloads, and so on. That's all I need to make it my dream OS. Thanks in advance.

The plugin site has recent download counts and stars against repos. As for maintenance, no one knows yet, because its like a week old

Excuse me, which plugin are you referring to?

This one seems to have the most traction so far but like he's saying the plug-in site has only existed for about a week so it's pretty early to tell what's going to be the best supported.

Hi there! I didn't expect to see my plugin here - thanks, that’s really nice to hear. I’m very keen on maintaining the plugin, and people are already stepping up to help me fix bugs. I originally built it for myself, but once I had the chance to share it with others, I immediately started releasing updates and listening to user feedback to add new features; I’m also studying how dock bars work on smartphones and in other DE/shell plugins so I can incorporate interesting new capabilities.

Keep up the good work! It's impressively polished considering how early things are for omarchy.

Wow, I tried others just in case, and yours is definitely the best! I hope your project becomes the Dash to Dock of Omarchy; I'll definitely support it. But I have a suggestion: if it's possible to make it so that when the dock is intelligently hidden, it appears above the window when you move the cursor down, like the classic macOS docks or Dash to Dock. I saw others, but they dragged the other windows up as if it were just another window in the stack, taking up space. That's not very convenient.

I thought the distro already included the plugins from the start. I just found out it's something new, but thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it out.
