After thinking some more on this, I can see why this is appealing, however, Blender is in the unique position of including add-ons as an integral part.  This makes it more inclusive than other software and provides a good way to onboard new, Blender, developers.  An online repository for

@ The core developers considering this repository idea. With this new online add-on repository you are proposing, you have talked about unifying add-on distribution, so I feel I have to ask, are there any plans to allow only add-ons from this repository to run in Blender or any other

There are certainly challenges implementing such a system, though it's been done many times in other applications. It's too early to go into such details, it's not clear this will even happen or when. On Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 10:14 PM Dan McGrath wrote: > Hi, > > For an official online
