A community-maintained directory of Sketch plugins hosted on GitHub, listed alphabetically and by update date.
The Sketch Plugin Directory is the official, open-source repository for discovering and sharing plugins that extend the functionality of Sketch, a popular UI/UX design tool. It serves as a central hub where designers can find tools for tasks ranging from asset management and prototyping to accessibility checking and code generation, streamlining the design workflow.
UI/UX designers and plugin developers working within the Sketch ecosystem who need to find, share, or contribute tools that enhance their design process.
It is the official, community-driven directory that automatically syncs with the Sketch extensions website, ensuring discoverability and providing a simple, maintainable list of plugins. Developers can use skpm for automatic publishing to the directory.
Official Sketch Plugin directory
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
As the official directory, it automatically syncs with the Sketch extensions website, ensuring plugins are discoverable on the platform after deployment, as noted in the README: 'it will appear on the website as soon as we make a new deploy.'
Allows developers to add plugins via pull requests, keeping the list current with community contributions, evidenced by the README instruction: 'if you want to add yours, just send a pull request.'
Recommends using skpm for plugin development, which handles automatic publishing to the directory, streamlining the submission process as mentioned: 'skpm takes care of publishing automatically.'
Provides an alternative list sorted by last update date, helping users identify recently maintained plugins, as shown in the 'Sorted by last update' section of the README.
The directory is a simple list without ratings, reviews, or vetting, making it difficult to assess plugin reliability or quality, forcing users to rely on external sources for evaluation.
Lacks search functionality, categorization, or filtering options, relying solely on alphabetical or date sorting, which can be inefficient for finding plugins for specific tasks like asset management or code generation.
Updates depend on pull requests and manual deploys, with the README noting it can take 'anywhere from a few minutes to a few days,' potentially causing delays in plugin availability on the official website.
