Textlings Gallery

The community catalog of Textlings character packs. This repo holds exactly one machine-read file — index.json — which the app's Gallery screen fetches only when you open it. Pack zips live in your repo's GitHub Releases; this index just points at them.

Submitting a pack

1. Build your pack in Textlings: open a group chat → export-as-pack button (or hand-assemble a zip per the pack format).
2. Publish the zip as a GitHub Release asset on your own repo.
3. Open a PR appending one entry to index.json:

{
  "id": "cozy-cafe",                  // unique slug [a-z0-9_-]+
  "name": "Cozy Café",
  "author": "your-github-name",
  "description": "Two baristas with a shared history and a ready-made group chat.",
  "license": "CC-BY-4.0",             // required — pick any license you like
  "download_url": "https://github.com/you/repo/releases/download/v1.0/cozy-cafe.pack.zip",
  "sha256": "…",                      // sha256 of the zip; CI re-checks it
  "size": 48211,                      // bytes, informational
  "nsfw": false                       // must be false — this index is SFW-only
}

CI validates the schema, downloads your zip, verifies the checksum, and checks the zip contains only allowed character files (markdown, character.json, avatars — nothing executable). A human reviews and merges.

Rules

• SFW only. This curated index is the quality tier; the app accepts any custom index URL (Settings → Gallery), so off-index distribution is always open to you — just not here.
• License field is required so users know what they may remix.
• You own your release. We never rehost your zip; deleting your release delists your pack in practice. To update, publish a new asset and PR the new download_url + sha256.
• Packs are plain editable markdown — that's the point. No DRM, no obfuscation.
