🐛 Bug

Deploying plugin docs says that the napari plugin installer doesn't currently install from conda... but I'm pretty sure it does?

I broke a conda-forge-feedstock many versions ago, and never got around to figuring out how to make conda distributions actually work. Because of this note, I just assumed that conda didn't work in napari, but then I had a user report that my plugin looks way different than expected -- no surprise when it was nearly a year out of date in conda, and I naively just assumed pip was how people got the plugin. I think the installer defaults to conda now.

I'll try to improve the Deploying to Anaconda section as I figure things out. So that people like me don't give up like I did.

You are right. The old bundle version was pip only, and we still have not updated part of docs.

Updating the plugins docs is my priority for the next couple of weeks. There are several issues about this that I want to address and this is one of them. Thanks for the report!

Feel free to ping me to look things over. If I find some time, you can also let me any documentation I could work on. Right now I'm working back through thinking about my napari plugin since I've learned much in the past 2 years that I had originally just brute forced. (which I think was, at least, a good thing for getting users like me started!)
