Topic: Are there any plans of creating a package index?

Hi! I've recently started playing with Roc and I've noticed that the only way to find packages that other people have made is by keeping track of posts here (e.g. in show and tell) or by looking stuff up on Google and hoping to find something.

I was wonder, are there any plans to create some sort of package index for people to publish/register their packages? Or even something simpler like an "awesome-roc" github repo. I know Roc is still in "heavy development" but it seems to me there are already many useful packages, and is in good enough shape for people to make stuff with.

Anyway, if this already exists then I apologize for asking :) Thanks!

yes and yes! :smiley:

yes there are plans to make a package index (although the exact design is still in progress) and yes there also is a roc-awesome repo you can check out right now!

Another way to discover Roc packages is to browse all the repos on GitHub tagged with roc-lang. https://github.com/topics/roc-lang
