Feature Request: Require GitHub Source URL for Free Plugins

Proposal:
Encourage (or require) plugin developers who submit free plugins to provide a public GitHub (or similar) source code URL when submitting to the Acode plugin marketplace.

Why This Is Important:

  • ✅ Helps developers learn from others' code.
  • ✅ Makes it easier for contributors to suggest improvements or report issues.
  • ✅ Increases trust and transparency in the plugin ecosystem.
  • ✅ Encourages best practices and clean, maintainable code.

Suggested Implementation:

  • Add a required or optional "Source Code URL" field to the plugin submission form.
  • Display that link on the plugin’s info page inside Acode.
  • Optionally, highlight open-source plugins in the plugin browser for more visibility.

Note:
This request is only for free plugins — paid or private plugins can be exempt to protect proprietary work.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this idea — I think it could make Acode's plugin community even stronger! 🚀

Thanks for the great work on Acode 🙌
