There's a workflow for Alfred called Spotifious that can be triggered by a simple shortcut and while it displays currently playing song, it also enables you to control Spotify without the need to switch to it.
Not a Spotify plugin for Sketch, but it's something!
Guys at Abstract have done amazing work so far, merging multiple files works very well. Although it doesn't look like the current (preview) release takes advantage of the new files system yet. I bet they're aware of upcoming changes and will make Abstract even better for public release :)
What's the most exciting about the new file system for me is being able to control versions with git and to feed design assets directly to dev pipeline utilising sketchtool at the same time.
Here are some ideas for things you can try to do with the documents:
- editing page and layer names by editing the JSON
- running bitmaps through ImageOptim to compress them
- run text diffs using version control systems
- run visual diffs using previews + version control systems
- integrating previews for .sketch documents on your server-side apps
- use server-side tools to generate a dynamic .sketch document
Exciting times ahead!
Thanks for sharing! I got inspired by your post and uploaded mine to GitHub: Pure theme for Alfred
Here's a list of few plugins I find very useful:
Try Lost Grid if you value ease of use and flexibility.
Pretty happy with Updown.io
No worries! Abundance of new extensions in this thread!

This is great! I've been using Modulizer plugin for quite a while now, but having the object auto-adjust the size after the content changes is such a nice addition and timesaver. Thanks Yann!
