When to choose your own TeSS instance or register a space in TeSSHub#
TeSS is an open source, reusable software platform, and has been deployed by several other communities across the globe. However, with the launch of the Spaces feature, it is possible for a community to create their own tailored catalogue or “view” within an existing TeSS instance. The TeSSHub is a public instance that supports the Spaces feature (launching soon).
