Blobs 0.3.13

Choose a tag to compare

@nonomnonom nonomnonom released this 19 Oct 20:04

Blobs is an offline Android research app compatible with GrapheneOS. No account, Play Store or Google Play Services is required.

  • Research instructions now allow comparisons and synthesis to use the detail they need, instead of forcing every reply into three claims and 120 words. Source citations, evidence boundaries and the bounded native context remain in place.
  • New public guides at https://nonomnonom.github.io/blobs/: first-run setup, choosing models, libraries, source reading, privacy and building from source.
  • See ten native app screens in the new tour, enlarge them in the image viewer, and follow rendered setup/library/chat flowcharts.
  • The documentation uses the app's artwork, local fonts and light/dark colors, with a compact Light/Dark/System control and working static search.
  • The repository starts with an APK installation guide and light/dark brand artwork. Internal reviews and signing files remain outside public source delivery.

Install the APK, review the model recommended for your phone, then download the model and starter library inside Blobs. Twelve English libraries and three models are currently offered. Downloads and checking for new choices are user-started; chat, citations and source reading work offline after setup. Travel collections contain text guides, without offline maps or route calculation.

This update retains the v0.3.12 signing certificate and updates it in place. Keep the app installed to preserve local data. SHA256SUMS.txt records the downloadable files; SIGNATURE.txt identifies the APK certificate.

Local validation: signed Gradle verify (formatting, lint, JVM tests, debug/release APKs and Android-test compilation), 49 Android integration tests on API 36/x86_64 with a 4 GB profile, 94 corpus tests, 27 release/tooling tests, APK signatures and 16 KB ZIP/ELF alignment. Documentation passed type, lint, formatting, production export, 28 light/dark browser states, three interaction cycles and four 200% text states. All 15 public asset URLs and the signed catalog were checked. Generated model answer wording was not graded.

Source commit: 9320175f06eaa0241eb2c3bda26730c3f09d0d84. An in-place upgrade from v0.3.12 retained setup progress. The source ZIP includes the application, corpus tooling and documentation website; it excludes signing keys, generated packages and local caches.
