Intrinsic ValueInpediav0.5.0

Release notes

What's new in Inpedia v0.5.0 — written for people who ingest notes and ask questions on their Mac, not for engineers.

Latest

v0.5.0

Close the capture-to-citation loop

Save & index from Review, manage the search index in Chat, and open citations on the original scan with yellow highlights on the cited line.

Review

  • Save & index — one click saves to Inbox and makes the page searchable. Set Notebook id for your numbered books.
  • Save draft — export without indexing when you are not ready.
  • Add region, Focus, and Map — capture missed lines and review OCR by region.
  • Restart — reload Review after updates from the toolbar.

Chat

  • Index panel — Not indexed drafts vs pages In search; index or remove without Finder.
  • View source — open the notebook photo; yellow marks the cited line, gray shows the rest.
  • Browse sources — step through citations from one answer.
  • Open in Review — jump to the same page with regions loaded.
  • Restart — reload Chat from the toolbar.

Earlier releases

v0.4.1

Review ↔ Chat navigation

One-click switch between notebook review and Q&A; aligned headers, clearer Ollama errors, and Chat that reads the current Knowledge Base index after ingest.

Workflow

  • Review | Chat toggle — switch between review (:8766) and chat (:8765) in one click.
  • Chat header matches Review — same dark bar so both apps feel like one tool.
  • Clearer errors when Ollama is not running.
  • Chat uses the current Knowledge Base search index after you ingest new pages.

v0.4.0

Review handwritten pages

Local review UI for notebook photos — Apple Vision OCR, click-to-correct, ISO Written dates, and draft Markdown to Inbox. Originals archived; corrections train the reader.

Review UI

  • python3 review.py — open http://127.0.0.1:8766. Scan left, OCR right; click regions to link text.
  • Apple Vision OCR on your Mac; HEIC photos preview in the browser.
  • Written date — authoritative ISO date per page, suggested from dates in the scan when possible.
  • Save draft Markdown — reviewed pages export to Inbox/ with document_date and asset_id frontmatter.
  • AI refine — optional local Ollama pass using your correction glossary.

Learning & custody

  • Corrections stick — fix OCR once; similar mistakes auto-correct later. Crops save under Corrections/ for training.
  • Originals never modified — every upload archives to Originals/{assetId}/ with a manifest chain of custody.
  • After a batch: move Inbox drafts to Source notes, then python3 ingest.py to search.

v0.3.0

Your knowledge base, outside the repo

Personal notes live in Documents/Inpedia Knowledge Base — visible, plain language, never in git. The public site adds Blueprint and a corpus guide.

Knowledge Base

  • python3 init.py creates Documents → Inpedia Knowledge Base with Source notes, Search index, and Inbox.
  • Drop Markdown in Source notes; ingest with python3 ingest.py your-notebook.md.
  • python3 scripts/migrate_corpus.py moves legacy data/raw or ~/.inpedia into the Knowledge Base.

Public site

  • Blueprint — interactive map of what is live, next, and on the horizon, with reasoning on hover.
  • Corpus guide — where private notes live and how church-and-state separation works (ADR-008).

v0.2.0

Chat with your notes

Ask questions about your personal writing in a browser — grounded answers with sources, entirely on your Mac.

Chat

  • Local web chat at http://127.0.0.1:8765 — run python3 chat.py, then ask in the browser.
  • Multi-turn conversation with collapsible sources under each answer (notebook and date).
  • Clear resets the thread. Corpus and index stay on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.

Your knowledge base

  • First real session on personal essays — synthesis questions answer from your own writing.
  • When notes do not cover something, the assistant says what is missing instead of guessing.

v0.1.0

Questions answered — locally

Ingest dated Markdown notebooks, ask questions in Terminal, and browse architecture docs on the public site — corpus stays on your Mac.

On your Mac

  • Ingest personal Markdown with ## YYYY-MM-DD headers into a local search index.
  • Ask questions in Terminal — answers cite the passages that matched.
  • Ollama embeds and chat; Chroma stores vectors; no cloud API required for the default path.

Public site

  • inpedia.intrinsicvalue.llc publishes purpose, stack, quality notes, and architecture decisions — not your corpus.
