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.).
  • Sort by recency, popularity, or last update.
  • Open a Template's detail page for the description, variables it asks for, screenshots, and version history.

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. Flip the "publish to Bazaar" toggle on a version.

That version is now public. Future versions you publish appear too. You can unpublish a version at any time; 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?

Yes. Templates flagged for malicious behavior, broken defaults, or misleading descriptions are removed. The publisher is notified.

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.

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.
