Manifesting: apps from a single declaration
Second of a three-part webinar series. How a single manifest declares schemas, pages, menus and widgets — and how OpenRegister turns that declaration into a running app without hand-written controllers.

How a single manifest turns into a running app — the full recording is above. To build one yourself, the Build-an-app series walks the manifest from first schema to shipped app.
Hydra → Manifesting (you are here) → OpenBuild. Coming from Hydra? This webinar zooms into the artifact Hydra produces: the manifest. Next up: OpenBuild.
What we covered
- What a manifest is and why one declaration drives schemas, pages, menus and widgets
- How OpenRegister materialises a manifest into a working app — no controllers, no event listeners
- The relationship between schemas, registers and the magic tables behind them
- Live demo: editing a manifest and watching the app change in place
- Audience Q&A on versioning and per-user deltas
Go deeper — build an app from a manifest
The Build-an-app series is the hands-on counterpart: it builds a real Nextcloud app on the Conduction stack, manifest-first.
