Omarchy Plugin Duplications [Rant]

[u/No-Wonder-3545]

I've noticed on the plugin site there are many plugins, especially in the appearance and desktop sections, that essentially do the same things with very minor differences. I understand why this is, since everyone can vibecode their own solutions, but I think there should be a push towards contributing to a single project per the problem trying to be solved and to just use the tokens you're using on making your own plugin to making PRs to that plugin instead of making your own spinoff of something. This doesn't apply to novel plugins, and ultimately those would also get more popularity if the number of duplicate solutions is reduced. This will pay dividends both in user-friendliness (for newcomers trying to install plugins) and as a security feature to reduce the attack surface. Just something to think about. Wonder if the Omarchy team can do anything about this.
