Visual X# website

This repository contains the public web surface for the Visual X# programming language at xsharp-lang.xyz.

Workspaces

• frontend/ is the Astro website for xsharp-lang.xyz. Visual X# does not use Next.js.
• backend/ is the deliberately small ViGet service boundary. It exposes health and registry availability only while package publication is closed.

Progmasoft corporate pages, the ViGet catalog UI, account registration, authentication, recovery, sessions, and account dashboards are owned by the separate Progmasoft/progmaweb repository and implemented there with Next.js and ASP.NET Core. This repository does not duplicate those web surfaces.

ViGet keeps DSL plugins and Visual X# packages in separate canonical catalogs:

• https://viget.progmasoft.com/dslplugins/<Publisher>/<Name>/ contains Kotlin DSL plugin JARs.
• https://viget.progmasoft.com/<Publisher>/<Name>/ contains Visual X# .vipkg packages.

<Publisher> is not a second registry identity. It is exactly the canonical Progmasoft <Account> name used by https://account.progmasoft.com/<Account>/dashboard; ViGet does not register a separate publisher name.

These paths reserve catalog identity; they do not imply that publishing or downloading is available before the registry HTTP contract is implemented.

Login, registration, recovery, and dashboards belong to account.progmasoft.com; ViGet owns package catalogs. The Visual X# language host does not expose registry pages or account routes, and the retired api.xsharp-lang.xyz host is not part of the production contract. Future ViGet publishing authentication must consume the Progmasoft Account contract; it must not grow a second user database or publisher identity. The temporary registry status backend remains here until its HTTP contract moves without coupling it to the language frontend.

Requirements

• Node.js 22.12 or newer
• npm 9.6.5 or newer
• .NET SDK 10 with the ASP.NET Core targeting pack

Development

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

In another terminal:

cd backend
dotnet run

Run the release checks with:

npm --prefix frontend ci
npm --prefix frontend run check
npm --prefix frontend run build
dotnet restore backend/XSharp.Web.Api.csproj
dotnet build backend/XSharp.Web.Api.csproj --no-restore

Release policy

The website is a rolling deployment with fixed package and Git tag version 1.0.0. The repository does not publish GitHub Releases; deployment history is represented by ordinary commits while the 1.0.0 tag follows the deployed baseline.
