dsh-top-leaderboard

The DSH plugin ecosystem is expanding quickly, yet the Web GUI has never offered a single, in-place way to discover and compare extensions. Users were forced to bounce between GitHub search results, terminal clone commands, and manual profile edits. dsh-top-leboardboard solves that by adding a leaderboard button to the sidebar. One click opens a modal offering two views: a community heat-rank built from a local snapshot of the dsh-external ecosystem, and a live listing of public GitHub repositories tagged with the dsh-plugin topic, sorted by stars. Every entry carries a type badge (Skill, Bundle, Cordis, or Marisa) and its repository size; anything over 100 MB is flagged in orange so you can gauge the download cost before committing.

The install pipeline is where the plugin truly shines. A single press triggers an HTTPS shallow clone over HTTP/1.1 to sidestep mid-transfer disconnects, with three automatic retries and an SSH fallback for private repos. Skills land in the local skills directory while Bundles and Cordis extensions are wired straight into the web profile, eliminating all manual wiring steps. Before a byte is transferred the UI reports the repo size and an estimated download duration, so you are never blindsided by a multi-gigabyte pull. A live log stream tracks every stage; on failure the log expands to expose the exact cause, and both installed-status and private-repo permission results persist across page refreshes so you never have to re-check.

If you regularly evaluate and deploy DSH plugins across projects, this leaderboard collapses what used to be a scattered workflow of searching, cloning, and configuring into one smooth GUI interaction, from discovery through to a working installation.
