Hello napari community!
We’re thrilled to announce that the napari hub just celebrated its one year anniversary! With over
200 plugins on the hub, we’re kicking off a quarterly newsletter to update the community about

To inform the content of these newsletters, we’d love to hear more about your interests. We aim
to cater our content to our subscribers, so please take 1-2 minutes to tell us about yourselves in
this anonymous survey.

Upcoming Features

Plugin Collections for Discovering and Sharing Plugins

We’re streamlining Plugin discovery and sharing by adding community-curator Plugin Collections that group plugins together in ways not captured by the current categories or other plugin metadata. Check out below the design mockups of the Collection overview and Collection in-
detail pages, and get excited about curating your own Plugin Collection after Collections are added to the hub.

Checklist of Success to Enhance your Plugin

Calling all Plugin Developers! We’ve identified some key tasks that help highlight features of your Plugin and expand your Plugin documentation. Keep your Plugin up to date by completing the checklist. Look out for the checklist rollout in the coming months.

We hope y’all are as excited about these new additions and upcoming features on the hub as we are, and we are so excited to support and expand our community! Help us out by letting us know about you in this 1-2 minute survey.

As always, you can check our roadmap and keep up to date with what we’re working on in our Github repository.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
