Don't build a plugin for DSH to sell: the stars are here, the money isn'tDSH is a large free Chinese developer channel. It's only worth entering if you already have a paid product and want an entry point, or if you build cross-agent tools and treat DSH as the Nth supported target.Long shot · grade and headline drawn from the full article · next review 11-08
| Background | DeepSeek 08-13 open-source agent framework DSH, 11-02 already at 268,247 stars; 815 related libraries since 8-10 |
|---|---|
| Upside | The attention is real, but none of the 45 community libraries with over a thousand stars sell plugins; only 7 have sponsorship, tipping, or an enterprise tier |
| Demand | Users most want "don't charge me": a free-model plugin with 56k stars, and gray-area plugins took 31% of the stars in a library of over a thousand |
| Competition | In the launch week, 290 repos, 29 of them passed 1,000 stars; over the next ten weeks, 418 of them only got 13. Plugin-directory sites number at least 11 |
| Revenue | Dedicated DSH products are at zero on TrustMRR. Cross-agent Nowdex October $1,660; relay-station sponsorship amounts aren't public |
| Growth | GitHub, QQ groups, plugin directories and marketplaces. None of them show up running ads in the Meta, Google or TikTok ad libraries. |
| Window | The window to earn stars is launch week (superagent 10-31 just opened). The window to earn money hasn't appeared yet. |
| Who it's for | Teams with a paid product who want a Chinese developer entry point; indie devs building multi-agent tools who can add DSH support along the way. |
