Is there a repository for ParaView plugins? Does ParaView have a web interface I can use to search available plugins?

ParaView ships with a number of plugins it has in its repository. The superbuild has a few more (vortexfinder2 at least, probably others). ParaView “native” plugins are listed [here](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Plugins). There are definitely others aroudn, but I’m not familiar with them. There’s no central registry like PyPI or anything though.

Also, if you load a plugin in ParaView you have a succing description of what it does.
