I am trying to rewrite the Fedora Apps page https://apps.fedoraproject.org in Elm.

Will it ever be deployed? We shall see.

I greatly appreciate the fact that a majority of Fedora infrastructure is written using the same language - python. As a consequence we can share code, everybody is able to contribute to any project without difficulty, etc. The last thing I want to do is create a precedent for writing Fedora Infrastructure applications in different languages and ultimately shattering our python uniformity. So if this page never gets officially deployed because of the programming language choice, I respect that.

At the same time, functional programming enthusiasts and aficionados doesn't have (almost) any project within Fedora they could join, hone their skills and work on something useful at the same time.

This could be such a place.

This page is not (yet) deployed within Fedora infrastructure nor it is maintained by the Fedora Infrastructure team. An unofficial demo is deployed via netlify.app.

The Elm language is compiled into Javascript, and this project is entirely written in Elm, without a single line of HTML. As a consequence, if you have Javascript disabled in your web browser, only a blank page is rendered.

There are ways how to make the page usable even with disabled Javascript, so this limitation is only temporary.

To avoid defining applications in multiple places, we simply fetch apps.yaml from the original fedora-infra/apps.fp.o project.

Please follow their instructions to add a new application.

The sync to this project is not automatized so please ping me to do it manually.
