Since Ktor is an excellent framework that allows for the creation of asynchronous client and server applications—from microservices to multiplatform HTTP client apps in a straightforward manner—and natively supports coroutines, we use it in our open-source project. We are therefore very pleased that the plugin registration process has been simplified.

The JetBrains blog post introduces the new Ktor Plugin Registry, highlighting its key features:
- The registry allows the submission of community-based plugins, which are then accessible via the Ktor project generator.
- It provides easy searching, categorization, and essential documentation for plugins.
- Community developers can submit plugins by forking the repository, adding necessary files, and making a pull request.
- The registry ensures compatibility between Ktor versions and plugins, with updates managed by the Ktor team.
- This development aims to expand the Ktor ecosystem, placing community plugins on equal footing with those developed by the Ktor team.
