The JWST Disk Infrared Spectral Chemistry Survey (JDISCS) collaboration has launched its public website, together with the release of their JWST MIRI spectra from Cycle 1 now available on SpExoDisks.com. The data are uniformly reduced with a collaboration-developed pipeline and target the inner (<10 au) planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. JDISCS now includes 14 GO JWST programs to build a comparative view of disk chemistry across stellar masses, environments, and evolutionary stages. By combining mid-infrared spectroscopy with high-resolution ALMA observations, the survey links inner-disk chemical inventories to outer-disk structure and evolution. The JDISCS website provides links to data products and open-source tools for spectral analysis and LTE slab modeling, supporting broader community efforts in the analysis of JWST spectra.
