Extend

[Tyblitz]

1. Don't know if it's possible but maybe it's an idea to allow external storage in Extend.

That'd be nice, but if with Github for example, can one link directly to the ZIP file in the /dist folder for download? If so, great! If not, it requires another step from the user (to go to the repo first and find the dist folder, and above all, know what it means). IMO also the ZIP upload to Extend is only a small effort. What I find a bit of wasted time is that plugin authors have to write:
1) a full plugin intro on the forums in myBB code
2) a recap of this intro in markdown in the Extend repo

And here's two suggestions for Extend "filters":
1) Alphabetical - handy for people who want to download a new version of a plugin they already had and know the name of.
2) Relevancy - a computed filter that takes into account star rating, date of the last update and amount of downloads, and accords an importance factor to each. 

I had already built a GDrive sheet about a year ago: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...EU/pubhtml# which lists a good amount of plugins, and aimed to implement a better list. Unfortunately after a while it seemed the methods used by sheets to retrieve data seem to be broken now...
