Overview

The Plugin Manager is itself a plugin (plugin-manager). It provides a UI for managing all installed plugins and browsing the Community Store.

​
Access

Right-click anywhere on the board (not on a plugin box) to open the Plugin Manager. Press Escape to close it.

​
Features

​
Installed Plugins Tab

  • View all installed plugins with icons and author info
  • See enabled/disabled status
  • Pause — toggle a plugin on/off
  • Delete — permanently remove a plugin
  • System Protected — the Plugin Manager cannot be paused or deleted

​
Community Store Tab

  • Browse community plugins from GitHub
  • One-click install
  • Shows “Already installed” for existing plugins
  • Fetches from plugins.json in the community repo

​
Manual Install

Install any plugin by URL:
  1. Click Install via URL
  2. Enter a unique ID
  3. Paste the URL to a .js file
  4. Click Install
The Plugin Manager header includes a direct link to the official documentation.

​
UI Slot System

The Plugin Manager exposes a UI slot system that lets other plugins add elements to its header:

​
api.registerUI(slot, element, id?)

// Add a button to the Plugin Manager header
const btn = document.createElement('button');
btn.textContent = '🎨';
btn.onclick = openThemes;

api.registerUI('header-actions', btn, 'theme-btn');
ParameterTypeDescription
slotstringSlot name (currently: 'header-actions')
elementHTMLElementElement to inject
idstring(Optional) Data attribute ID
Behavior:
  • Automatically tracks ownership by plugin ID
  • When a plugin is toggled off, its UI elements are cleaned up
  • Elements are restored when the plugin is toggled back on
The Sample Theme plugin uses this API to add a 🎨 button to the Plugin Manager header.

​
Plugin Manager Auto-Recovery

The Plugin Manager has built-in recovery:
  • First boot: auto-installs from its default GitHub URL
  • Deleted: re-installed on next page load
  • Disabled: re-enabled on next page load
This ensures the Plugin Manager is always available.

​
