Abyss

The store is the core of the marketplace. Each widget is a self-contained app built for a defined task, with a form-based interface on top. You browse, search and open any widget, see a sample run with its inputs and outputs, then run it yourself. Because the interface hides the code, a widget built by a developer works the same for someone who has never opened a terminal.

Builders publish widgets by uploading a Python project with a fixed structure: a run.py entry point, a requirements.txt for packages, an optional requirements.system for apt packages, and an output folder that holds what the user gets back. Inputs arrive as environment variables, so your script reads them with os.environ.get(). Abyss takes care of deployment, and a successful test run doubles as the public example.

Before a widget goes live, you design the form users fill in. Abyss supplies the building blocks: text fields, text areas, number fields, radio groups, checkboxes, dropdowns, date pickers and file inputs where you set the accepted extensions. A file named resume.pdf saved to the path data arrives as data.pdf. The point is a fixed, predictable form, so users never guess what to type.

If the widget you need doesn't exist, the Requests page lets you describe the automation you want. You can attach a bounty to draw builders to it. When someone finishes the widget, it goes live for everyone on the platform and the creator collects the bounty. It's a way to turn a one-off need into a shared tool.

Abyss runs on Byssium, an in-store credit you buy with or without a paid plan. Each widget's creator sets the price per run, and the credits a user spends pass to the creator in full; Abyss earns from the credit exchange and its subscription cut. Creators can withdraw earnings as real currency, which makes a published widget a small product rather than a portfolio piece.

The free Abyssian tier is what you get on sign-up, and it opens browsing, search, and creating widgets and requests. Abyssian Prime costs $14.99 per month and adds a starting balance of 1500 Byssium that refreshes every 30 days, a 10% discount on all widgets, extra profile and shop customization, and priority access to new features. If you run widgets often, the discount and the credit top-up are the reason to pay.

Abyss caps each project at 512 MB of memory and 4 vCPUs with 4 GB of RAM. That ceiling shapes what a widget can be: quick, focused tasks rather than long training jobs. It also keeps runs fast and predictable, and it's the same limit for every builder, so performance doesn't quietly depend on who wrote the code.
