Bazaar

The Bazaar is the public marketplace for Templates. Browse what other Players have published. Fork, launch, or both.

What's in the Bazaar​

Any Template version a Player published with publish-ready metadata (description, category, sensible defaults). The Bazaar listing is the view filter — Templates aren't a separate codebase, the same Templates power your private launches and the public marketplace.

Browse​

The Bazaar page lets you:

  • Search by name, description, or keyword.
  • Filter by category (CI, web app, database, dev environment, etc.).
  • Listings are ordered by last update; searching ranks by match (closest name first) and returns at most 10 results. No match? You get up to 5 Fibe-maintained Templates instead of an empty page.
  • Open a Template's detail page for the description, cover image, and version history with changelogs. The variables it asks for appear when you launch.

Launch from the Bazaar​

Pick a Template, click Launch:

  1. Fibe creates a fresh Playspec bound to the Template's latest version.
  2. Fill in variables the Template asks for.
  3. Pick a target Marquee.
  4. Launch.

The result is a normal Playground you fully own. The original Template stays where it was — your Playspec carries a reference to the version you launched.

Fork from the Bazaar​

Forking makes a private copy of the Template in your account. The fork is independent — future updates to the original don't flow into your fork.

Use forking when you want to:

  • Customize a published Template without publishing your own version.
  • Hold a known-good snapshot even if the publisher updates theirs.
  • Modify a Template to point at your own Prop instead of the publisher's.

Publish to the Bazaar​

From a Template you own:

  1. Fill in publish-ready metadata — description, category, default values that work without your specific environment.
  2. Walk the publishing checklist.
  3. Mark a version public (the Make public action on the version).

That version is now public — immediately. Anyone can find it in search, open it by direct link, and fork or launch it; there's no review queue before it goes live. Publishing is per-version: each version has its own public toggle, so private drafts coexist with published versions on the same Template. Future versions you publish appear too. You can unpublish a version at any time without touching the others; existing forks keep working.

Quality bar​

The Bazaar is a public surface. Before publishing:

  • Real test launch from a fresh setup. No leftover state.
  • Variables are honest about what launchers must provide. No hidden hardcoded values.
  • Screenshots in the launch's mutters so future launchers see success.
  • Description explains what the Template does, not just what's in it.

See Before you publish for the full checklist.

Public profile​

Templates you publish appear on your public profile alongside any Genies you've opted into Build in Public. Visitors see what you've made without a Fibe account.

FAQ​

Is the Bazaar moderated?

Fibe staff can take down Templates that are malicious, broken, or misleading. If you find one, report it to support — there's no in-product report button yet.

Can I make my Bazaar Template require payment?

Not today. Bazaar Templates are free to launch. Hosting costs (Marquee usage) still apply to the launcher.

How many Templates can I publish?

Accounts hold 20 Templates by default, each with up to 100 versions. Quotas can be raised per account — see Limits & Quotas.

What happens to running Playgrounds if the publisher unpublishes?

Nothing. Running Playgrounds keep running. The Template version is already cloned into your Playspec. You just can't pull future versions from a Template that's no longer public.
