A curated, community-submitted directory of Solid apps (rail-level UIs) and panes (per-subject renderers). Hosts like hub and pilot read this list to surface installable entries to users.

The registry lives at https://solid-apps.github.io/registry/index.json.

A single JSON-LD file (index.json) shaped as a schema:ItemList. Each itemListElement is either:

• @type: urn:App — an ES module exporting meta + render(container, ctx). Conforms to the hub-pod app interface.
• @type: urn:Pane — an ES module exporting canHandle + render, conforming to SLIP-48.

1. Fork this repo.
2. Add an object to the schema:itemListElement array in index.json.
3. Required fields:
   • @type: urn:App or urn:Pane
   • @id: the absolute URL to your ES module
   • schema:name: human-readable name (≤ 60 chars)
   • schema:description: one-sentence summary (≤ 280 chars)
   • schema:icon: an emoji or short glyph
   • schema:author: your name or handle
   • schema:license: SPDX identifier (e.g. MIT, AGPL-3.0, Apache-2.0)
   • schema:codeRepository: URL to the source repo
4. Optional:
   • urn:forClass (panes only): the RDF class IRI your pane handles
5. Open a PR. CI will validate the JSON; a maintainer reviews the entry.

• The module URL must be reachable (CI pings it).
• The license must be open-source (any OSI-approved SPDX identifier).
• The code repository must be public.
• We may decline entries that look like spam, reimplement existing entries without meaningful difference, or include obvious malware.

Apps and panes are loaded as ES modules with full DOM and authenticated-fetch access in the host. There is no sandbox. Users see a confirmation dialog before any non-allow-listed origin loads. This is by design — Solid hosts trust their users to vet the URLs they install — but it means that:

• Submitted code should not require runtime tracking, ads, or remote logging.
• Submitted code should not exfiltrate user data to third parties.
• License must permit redistribution (the registry is replicable).

If you find an entry that violates these, open an issue.

node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('index.json','utf8')); console.log('valid')"
