Community widgets gallery

Widgets that don't ship in Tesserae's default install but are one click away via Settings → Widgets → Browse community widgets. The catalog is curated, every entry is reviewed before it lands.

If your dashboard is missing a widget that used to be in the bundle (F1, Spotify, GitHub, etc.), it's here.

How install works

  1. Open Settings → Widgets → Browse community widgets in Tesserae.
  2. Click Install on the entry you want. Tesserae downloads the release tarball, verifies its sha256 against the catalog, and drops the widget folders into plugins/.
  3. Restart Tesserae (or click Restart now in the banner) so the plugin loader picks them up.
  4. The widget appears in the composition picker on the next page edit.

Uninstalling is the same flow in reverse, with the option to keep or delete the plugin's data dir.

Trust model

Audit-only review: every catalog entry is a PR to dmellok/tesserae-widgets that the maintainer reads end-to-end before merge. The runtime also enforces network egress per widget via the requires: capability declarations; extended-palette widgets are flagged in the entry. See Publish via the catalog for the reviewer's checklist.

The catalog is the right home for widgets that:

  • Need an account or API key (Spotify, GitHub, Apple Developer).
  • Serve a niche audience (F1, OctoPrint, region-specific data).
  • Are variants of an already-bundled archetype (a fancier clock, another weather variant).

Verified badge

Entries marked verified are reviewed + maintained by the catalog owner; the source repos belong to the catalog maintainer. The badge doesn't endorse the third-party service a widget connects to (Spotify, GitHub, etc.); it certifies the widget code itself.
