The Lyre

Software should be able to ask for what it needs.

The Lyre gives software a common way to ask for work to be done, without having to be built around whatever provides it.

02 / The interface

This is Lyre Web.

Lyre Web is the human-facing interface for The Lyre. It makes the underlying system easier to explore and operate, but The Lyre does not depend on this website.

Lyre Web depends on The Lyre for the resources it displays. Native software and HTTP clients have their own paths into the same system.
