When will we expect to receive an update to this utility?

Hello @lencx, I wanted to ask the same question.

I am a frequent user of v0.4.0 on Debian. Observing how active this repo is with regular commits, I wonder why no new releases have been published since March 2024? Before releases came our regularly form what I can see...

Thank you for a brief info comment on this. And of course, a big thank you for providing such a useful tool for so many users!

Noi has paused updates since v0.4.0 because I am rewriting the project. This rewrite will optimize some details and introduce new features, such as:

• Switching from using a prompts JSON file to SQLite for storing prompts, allowing for more efficient data retrieval. Since prompts are an important personal asset for users, I want Noi to offer a more comprehensive solution for local prompt management.
• More powerful layout options (left and right sidebars, bottom toolbar, etc.). Demo: https://x.com/lencx_/status/1864577793243402541
• Noi PiP Mode (Picture-in-Picture), inspired by video playback’s picture-in-picture interaction. Users can run Noi in a small window when switching to the work screen, avoiding frequent window switches and minimizing workflow disruption. Demo: https://x.com/lencx_/status/1855883596986515939

Many thanks for your reply and great to hear you are working on a rewrite even! I wish you great success and looking forward to a new release whne you are ready. Do you have a rought time plan already when we can expect the new version? 🙏

The specific timeline is uncertain at the moment because some technical details may affect the speed of finding a solution. If all goes well, the new version should be released within the next two months.
