DiscoverPlanned

Discover is a plan for explaining software, not a catalogue that exists yet.

Atarla Discover is designed to help someone describe a problem in plain language and find open-source tools that might solve it, with an explanation of what the tool does and how it was reviewed. Nothing described on this page is indexed or searchable today. This page states the design and the limits Atarla intends to hold itself to before any of it ships.

The upstream source stays canonical.

Atarla Discover is not designed as a mirror of GitHub or any other host. The plan is to index a project's name, canonical URL, author or organization, description, topics, license, activity, releases, and a plain-language Atarla explanation alongside self-hosting characteristics, requirements, compatibility, security-analysis status, and known alternatives.

Indexing a project is not the same as owning it, and Discover is not designed to imply that Atarla wrote, maintains, or controls upstream code. Every listing would link back to the original repository as the source of truth.

Search would be problem-oriented, not keyword-oriented.

The intended interface takes a plain description, such as "I need inventory software for four restaurants", "I need a cheaper appointment system", "I want something that can run locally", or "I need a Spanish-friendly tool", and returns candidates with an explanation of the tradeoffs rather than a bare list of repository names.

Indexing is not endorsement.

A project appearing in Discover would mean Atarla reviewed and explained it, not that Atarla vouches for it, and not that open source means safe. Each entry would carry a review state from the trust pipeline described on the trust page, so a reader can see how far the review actually went before deciding whether to trust the result.

What is not claimed.

No search index, listing, or review pipeline exists yet. This page describes an intended design, not a live feature, and no project has been indexed or reviewed under it.
