Categories

Categories are labels you can apply to a flow. They drive:

  • the dropdown in the + New flow modal
  • the filter pills on the Marketplace template gallery

That’s it for v1 — they’re UI-only grouping, not a stored field on the flow itself. The category you pick when creating a flow isn’t persisted.

Editing the catalogue

Section titled “Editing the catalogue”

Settings → Flow categories lets you:

  • Add a category (e.g. Quality, Security, Internal)
  • Rename an existing one (click the pencil icon on a chip)
  • Remove one (click the ✕)
  • Reset to defaults — restores the 9 categories from the design

Persisted in localStorage at pipebase:categories. Cross-tab sync via the standard storage event so changes propagate without reload.

v2 plans

Section titled “v2 plans”

A future release will:

  • Persist categories server-side (_categories.json next to runtimes)
  • Add Flow.category as a first-class field
  • Add per-category filter pills to the FlowList master-detail
  • Pull Marketplace template categories from this list

When that lands, the Settings card stays — only the storage moves server-side.
