Hi,
I develop a workflow automation platform (think n8n) where each node is a Wasm component so people can bring their own code and run it on their own hardware (with wasmCloud). I want to make various nodes, i.e. Wasm component publicly available and want other people to make their nodes available too. I can build a discovery for these nodes into my web app, but wonder if there's any work being done by anyone to provide a web app for people to discover Wasm components, like crates.io, npmjs.com, Docker hub, etc.
I've done a bit of research and found the archived registry repo, which led me to the wasm-pkg-tools repo. From what I gathered in these repos and other conversations here, the preferred way to distribute Wasm components is via OCI registries.
I'm curious what others here think about some sort of web app to discover Wasm components. Some sort of aggregator that pulls from various OCI registries or maybe even something entirely standalone, i.e. an OCI-compliant registry with its own web app.
Found #general > Popular/big registries for components with a link to https://wa.dev.
@Calvin Prewitt it sounds like you work on that site. Is the idea of the web app similar to what I have in mind as mentioned above?
@Mike yes, sir. That's in scope for wa.dev. We will be doing a complete rewrite of wa.dev soon. Feel free to DM if you'd like to discuss further.
