      About a week ago, I created a windmill overlay plugin for Windy to display windmill spots on the map. While I'm not ready to publish it, I shared the plugin with friends who were loading it directly via URL without any issues. However, yesterday, a red warning appeared stating, "Unfortunately, the plugin was unpublished by the author and is no longer available."

      The plugin URL is: https://windy-plugins.com/13458720/windy-plugin-windmill-overlay/0.1.0/plugin.min.js

      After inspecting the minified JSON source, I discovered that plugin identifiers are compared against a list from /articles/plugins/list. If a plugin isn't on this list, it’s immediately uninstalled, and the same warning appears.

      This change seems to have disrupted private usage and sharing of plugins. I still believe Windy is a great platform, but could you please check if this behavior is expected? Thank you in advance.
