patent v0.3.0

patent 0.3.0 brings sharper search recall, a redesigned detail view, and pre-built binaries.

Highlights

Better search recall. GitHub now searches in:description,readme sorted by stars; npm and Hacker News use the full idea string instead of extracted keywords. More relevant results, especially for niche queries.

Redesigned detail popup. Hit Enter on any match for a score-coloured popup (green → yellow → red), scrollable description, and a clean single-line metadata row. ↑/↓ or j/k to scroll.

Smarter verdict. The LLM prompt takes a sceptical stance and filters gap claims that name a top match directly. One automatic retry on transient backend errors.

Pre-built binaries. No Rust toolchain required. Grab a one-line installer or a binary from the assets below.
