Easy-penny-pod-inspector NPM

A fork from https://gitlab.com/vincenttunru/penny

Used with https://github.com/liquid-surf/easy-penny-recipe to create https://pod.liquid.surf

The fork is ment to be more user facing than developer facing. It is only developed for integrated mode, to be used with Solid Community Server.

Bellow Penny's original readme:

Try it out yourself at https://Penny.VincentTunru.com.

Using as a Solid server UI

It is also possible to use Penny as the UI for a Solid server. When running as a server UI, Penny will attempt to render the data available at the URL it is running on. Thus, the server will need to be configured to serve up Penny when a web browser is accessing the data, and raw data when that is requested explicitly.

The server UI is available in the npm package penny-pod-inspector, in a folder called server-ui/.

For an example of how to set this up for the Solid Community Server, see this recipe.

Note that server UI use is currently experimental.

Deploying elsewhere

Although the app is deployed at https://Penny.VincentTunru.com, you can also deploy it elsewhere if you wish.

To do so, you can serve up the contents of the standalone/ folder in the npm package penny-pod-inspector.

Development

To run Penny locally, you'll need Node.js. After installing the required dependencies using npm install in the folder that contains the Penny source code, you can start it by running:
