Port [and minimally update] aiida-registry browser into the website by khsrali · Pull Request #165 · aiidateam/aiida-website

khsrali · 2026-05-08T11:09:38Z

Brings the plugin browser at aiidateam.github.io/aiida-registry into this site as /plugin-registry/, statically rendered (one HTML per plugin) with client-side fuzzy search and sort. Data is pulled at build time from the canonical registry's plugins_metadata.json, never committed; existing verdi-cli.json and pypi-stats.json are migrated to the same fail-fast policy with schema-only *.example.json siblings for documentation. The upstream aiidateam/aiida-registry repo remains the source of truth for plugins.yaml and the daily metadata generator — this PR only ports the presentation layer.

Re-opened from an upstream branch (was #164) so Cloudflare Pages can render a preview.

totalPackages resolves to 106, but current website shows 108

The subtitle is a bit redundant, mostly covered by the summary below. Maybe instead we invent some catchy slogan or something (TBD)?

"To add yours, open a PR against ..." - too technical. How about "Register your plugin here", with "here" linking to the repo?

What's your suggestion, I'm open to suggestions.

+                {p.is_installable === 'True' && (
+                  <span className="reg-installable" title="Installs successfully against the latest aiida-core docker image">
+                    <CheckIcon /> installs


Maybe the CheckIcon is enough, since the hover tip clarifies? If you think the text is needed, we need to rethink. "installs" sounds weird to me.

In the plugin-specific page, you have under registry checks "All checks passed.". This could be an alternative, but I still think maybe the checkmark is nicer (simpler) for the landing page.

On that note though, let's remove the period from "All checks passed."

I'd keep the text, otherwise not super clear what does that check mark means.
installs - > installable?

"Installs successfully" if you must keep the text. In the absence of text, if unclear, my first instinct would be to hover over it, hence I would propose to make it a hover text 🙂

check it out now, it's a combination of both

Actually, now that I can see it, I strongly recommend that we move "installs successfully" to a hover tip.

I think it's ok man. otherwise just a checkbox might be perceived as "all-good" which is dishonest. Notr: not everyone hoovers, and on phone there is no hoovering you gotta click.

Already covered in the summary. Remove.

it's useful in case searching / filtering

Hmm 🤔 Okay, keep for now.

Thanks @khsrali. This is fantastic! Please see my comments (minor changes).

Also, great if you can add a back-to-top button at bottom right that shows up once you scroll down a bit (and disappears when you're back to the top. A common feature for lenthy pages such as this 🙏

Other than that, LGTM! So happy to see this merged into the main site.
Will approve once changes are in!

thanks a lot @edan-bainglass for your review! will adopt, later and ping you again
For the moment what's your opinion on colors:

I feel like it's too colorful, we could alternatively get rid of the colors and have classic transparent buttons.

Colors are good. Keep it. What IS jarring is the white background of the text next to them, e.g. "stable" next to "status". Maybe make it light gray?

Also, I never liked "Other (blah blah blah)" - it's too long and causes this annoying folding. Let's just do "Other" and move the "blah blah blah" to a hover tip.

Yes! that bothers me too 👍🏽

Thanks @khsrali. Looks great overall. A few comments:

You changed the color scheme. Let's please keep it as it was before. You can propose a new color scheme in a separate PR 🙏
I couldn't test the hover tip on the OTHER category, but I take it this was implemented?
Regarding "106 plugins" all over the place, see my comments above
Test also on small screens. For example, the summary overflows in a not-so-friendly way.

Community plugins extending AiiDA with simulations, workflows, data types, and more. You can register new plugins{' '}

For sure drop total packages count. We state it in way too many places. The rest of my edits are mostly to remove schedulers/transports, as these may be less common terminology. Feel free to keep the last sentence as is if you prefer it.

Also feel free to keep the long dash instead of "with"

No the colors was really unusable and confusing, colors where used randomly for workflow/data/calcjob etc, and the same colors for alarms: stable(green) planned (red), etc.
It's more united and more sensical. I don't see why this has to go to a separate PR

Because the PR is titled "Port ...", not "Port and update..." 🙂 I'm mostly fine with the new colors (some blues might be too close in tone), but such frontend changes should in general go through the team (or at least more than one person).

well, tbh, a lot of your review comments were more of updates than ports 😆 (don't get me wrong, I love your suggestions and it's totally fine.)

Were they? 😅 Anyhow, I still wouldn't change the colors in this PR. But you do you 💪
