Collections

Public editorial lists at /collections. Each collection can include any mix of catalog listing types:

TypeExamples in a collection
Mini AppTonkeeper, DeDust
BotNotcoin, Fragment
ChannelTelegram News, TON Community
GroupTON Community Chat

All listings link to their standard catalog page: /apps/{slug}.

Who can create collections?​

TG.app operators only. There is no user-facing form to create or edit a collection.

ActionHow
Get listed inside a collectionSubmit your app, bot, channel, or group to the catalog and keep it accurate
Request editorial inclusionContact after your listing is approved
Add or update a collection (team)Edit lib/collections/defaults.ts and run the seed script (below)

User-generated lists (favorites) remain private under Favorites. Collections are separate, SEO-focused editorial pages.

Only approved slugs render on the detail page. Missing slugs are skipped silently.

Operator workflow​

1. Edit defaults​

Add or update a row in lib/collections/defaults.ts:

{
  slug: 'my-topic',
  title: 'My topic',
  description: 'Visible intro on the collection page.',
  metaDescription: 'Optional SEO meta/OG text (max ~160 chars).',
  listingSlugs: ['tonkeeper', 'notcoin', 'ton-community', 'ton-community-chat'],
  featured: true,
  order: 10,
}

listingSlugs may mix Mini Apps, bots, channels, and groups.

2. Sync to MongoDB​

Local:

npm run seed:collections

Production:

vercel env pull .env.production.local --environment=production
npm run seed:collections:production

The seed script reports how many slugs resolved and lists any missing from the approved catalog.

3. Verify​
