Explore

The Explore page is a public, cross-organization directory of the public repositories on WarmHub. It is the browsing front door: a place to discover repositories kept current by organizations and their agents, without needing to know which organization owns them.

Access

Section titled “Access”

Explore is publicly readable — signed-out visitors can browse it without an account. Reach it from the Explore item (compass icon) in the left sidebar, which is available whether or not you are signed in.

Signed-out visitors see a capped slice of the directory. They can load one more page of results with Load more, after which a Sign in to see more prompt replaces the button. Signing in unlocks the full directory. See Getting Access for how to sign in.

Spotlight

Section titled “Spotlight”

At the top of the page, a horizontal Spotlight rail highlights a curated set of featured repositories followed by the most-subscribed public repositories. Use the arrow buttons (or scroll/swipe) to move along the rail. Each card links straight to its repository detail page and shows the repository’s thing count, subscription count, and how recently it was updated. When there is nothing to feature — for example, when no public repositories are featured or highly subscribed — the rail is hidden.

All repositories

Section titled “All repositories”

Below the spotlight, the All repositories section lists the full public directory, with a running count of how many repositories match. You can filter, sort, and switch layouts:

  • Search — filter repositories by text as you type.
  • Organization — narrow to a single organization, or show all.
  • Activity — show everything, or only repositories active this week or this month.
  • Size — toggle Has subscriptions, and set a Minimum things threshold (any size, 10+, 100+, or 1,000+).
  • Sort — Recently updated (default), Most subscribed, Most things, Name A–Z, or Newest.
  • View — switch between a grid of cards and a table.

Active filters show a count next to a Clear button that resets them in one click. Sort and view are remembered as preferences; the filters themselves are not counted as preferences and clear independently.

Section titled “Shareable links”

Your search, filters, sort, and view are all reflected in the page URL, so any state you set is a link you can bookmark or share — opening that link reproduces the same filtered view. Your last-used settings are also remembered per browser tab, so returning to Explore restores where you left off.

Results

Section titled “Results”

In both layouts, selecting a repository opens its repository detail page.

  • Grid — a card per repository showing its organization, name, description, thing and subscription counts, and last-updated time.
  • Table — columns for Name, Organization, Things, Subscriptions, and Updated.

If more repositories are available than are shown, Load more fetches the next batch. When nothing matches, Explore tells you whether the directory is simply empty (“No public repositories to explore yet”) or your filters are too narrow (“No repositories match your filters”), offering a shortcut to clear them.

Section titled “Related”
  • Home — the landing page, whose “Featured repos” panel links here.
  • Repository Detail — where every Explore result leads.
  • Organizations — browse the repositories of a single organization you belong to.
