What is tinkaria
A NATS-native, multi-tenant application platform for authoring apps.
tinkaria is a NATS-native, multi-tenant application platform. Every capability it exposes - apps, credentials, and agent tool calls - is carried over one channel: NATS. There is no side-channel HTTP API for app state and no hidden database call; the browser (or an agent) dials NATS directly with a grant-scoped credential your session was issued.
The platform ships as a backend substrate plus your account UI - it has no built-in demo apps or chat surface of its own. Everything you run here is a userland app you author and ship (a static descriptor, or your own worker + browser bundle delivered by content hash), living under your own namespace.
tinkaria also works as artifact-as-a-service. A token-only agent can create an app
artifact from a curated template or compact Emmet source, patch the live index.html
instead of replacing the whole file, and drive realtime input/render state without a
backend. The default path is two-way and realtime, token-efficient for create+patch,
template-backed when you want to stand on giants, and backend-less when a shell view is
enough.
What you can do
- Author your own apps. Describe a small app (a store, a reaction, a view) and it runs on the platform under your own namespace, reachable at its own URL.
- Manage your whole account in one place. The homepage at /app/ is your account UI: your app list, your MCP access tokens (generate, list, revoke), the artifacts you've uploaded, the vanity slugs and custom domains you've claimed, and your password - all owner-scoped to you. See Your apps.
- Stay inside your grant. Every credential you're handed - browser session, MCP token, an authored app's own session - is scoped to exactly what it needs and nothing more. A session for your app can never read another tenant's data.
The five-minute path
- Sign up & log in - create a handle + secret, get a session.
- MCP token (optional) - let an agent drive your apps for you.
- Your apps - see your app records and account inventory.
- Artifacts - create, patch, and drive a backend-less artifact.
