Adoption of open-source design tools is limited by missing plugins, templates, and integrations that professionals rely on.

Build a curated marketplace where developers can sell themes, asset packs, and integrations for tools like Doory. Handle licensing and updates.

Design agencies would pay for quality assets that work with their preferred open tools.

Start by manually onboarding a few high-quality plugins for one tool, then build automation.

Risk is low initial supply if the open-source tools don't gain enough users.
