Hi everyone,
Over the last few months we’ve been building a number of tools around Frappe for our own team, including Frappe Playground, Frappe Local, and some internal developer tooling.
One recurring challenge we kept running into was app discovery and metadata.
While installing apps is straightforward, finding reliable information about them, understanding compatibility, extracting metadata, and consuming that information programmatically across tools isn’t always easy.
To solve that problem, we built Frappe Brewery 
and have now open-sourced it.
Frappe Brewery is an app registry for Frappe that provides:
-
Curated app listings
-
Automated metadata extraction from repositories
-
JSON APIs for tooling and integrations
-
GitHub-powered submission workflows
-
Automated validation and checks
-
Static deployment via Cloudflare Pages
The entire project is powered by GitHub workflows and generated static data, making it easy to fork and host your own registry. You can use it for public catalogs, internal app directories, organization-specific registries, or other tooling around the ecosystem.
We’re sharing it because it has already become useful for our own tooling, and we hope others may find it useful too. Feedback, ideas, and contributions are welcome.
