I started down that path but went with drag and drop based on the conversation below: [image] Installing Plugins on TIddlywiki + Node.JS: Help for Better Documentation Plugins I honestly think that for non-core plugins we should just tell users to install via d…

I guess previously, only geek use nodejs wiki, because it requires user to access terminal command line shell, so adding plugin in a geek way is not a problem. But now with TidGi app, even normal user can use TW nodejs wiki in an Obsidian-like way, so I think this rule will need to change when targ…
