build.moi

build.moi provides a modern showcase for Val Town profiles, making it easy to browse and discover vals and projects in a clean, minimalist layout.

• Clean grid layout for vals and projects
• Posts tab shows vals with moi.md and links to live apps
• Code tab shows all vals and links to their source code
• Custom Tabs for organizing content into collections
• Priority ranking system for organizing content display order
• Content exclusion from the main Posts tab
• Direct val viewing with full-screen display
• 2:3 aspect ratio for all val cards
• Profile view with user details
• Hover effects to display val information
• Responsive design for all devices
• Custom profile configuration via moi.md
• Infinite content loading without pagination

Visit the main page and enter a Val Town username, or go directly to:

/@username

You can also view a specific val directly using:

/@username/valname

build.moi supports custom profile and val configuration through moi.md files. Add a moi.md file to your Val Town project root with YAML frontmatter to customize your profile display in build.moi.

• title: Custom display title
• description: Extended description
• imageUrl: Custom image URL to override the default (2:3 aspect ratio recommended)
• url: Direct URL to your app's live endpoint (used in Posts tab)
• author: Custom author display name
• tags: Array of tags for categorization
• tier: Priority level for display order (lower numbers appear first, can use decimal values like 1.5)
• tabs: Array of tab names where this content should appear
• excludeFromPosts: Boolean to exclude content from the main Posts tab (true/false)

The tier field determines the display order of your content:

• Lower tier values (e.g., 1) appear before higher values (e.g., 3)
• Decimal values are supported (e.g., 0.5, 1.3, 2.7)
• Items with the same tier value maintain their original order
• Items without a tier value appear after all items with tier values

Example:

tier: 1.5

The tabs field allows you to categorize your content into custom collections:

• Content can belong to multiple tabs by listing multiple tab names
• Tabs appear between the "Posts" and "Code" navigation items
• Each tab contains only content explicitly assigned to it

Example:

tabs: ["Projects", "Tutorials", "Experiments"]

The excludeFromPosts field lets you exclude content from the main Posts tab while keeping it in custom tabs:

• When set to true, the val won't appear in the main Posts tab
• The val will still appear in any custom tabs specified in the tabs field
• The val will always appear in the Code tab regardless of this setting

Example:

excludeFromPosts: true
tabs: ["Tutorials"]

This configuration would show the val in the "Tutorials" tab and the Code tab, but not in the main Posts tab.
