MESA Marketplace

The MESA Marketplace is a collection of educational resources, summer school links, inlists, and add-ons for the Modules for Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) code.

The MESA Marketplace was originally hosted on Frank Timmes' website https://cococubed.com and was migrated to GitHub Pages in 2025.

We now have a MESA Zenodo Community as the preferred way of sharing MESA inlists and projects. Check it out! The inlists and add-ons shared shared on the Marketplace are generally from before 2022. But this website still serves as a useful collection of pre-Zenodo and pre-GitHub migration information, and has many useful links to educational videos, blog posts, and MESA summer schools.

Building the website

To build the website locally, make sure you have installed hugo (e.g. brew install hugo), and then do:

hugo server

and open localhost:1313 in your browser.

This site will automatically deploy to GitHub Pages with each update, through a GitHub action.

Adding new content

To add new content, just do, e.g.

hugo new content content/guides/my-first-guide.md

to create a new Markdown page. Then edit the file with your content. Make sure to remove draft = false in the file's header for it to get published.
