What I would like is that they made it easier to install plugins locally. Should really just be copy pasting into a folder. I would change it myself, were it not for the fact that Obsidian is proprietary software.

Time someone builds a compatible clone.

That's exactly how it works. A plugin is just a folder that you can copy into the .obsidian/plugins folder within your vault.

It literally is just pasting into the .obsidian/plugins/ directory...

Needs more competition in the space for sure.
