Welcome!

Our Goal at ACDC.digital is to create a Full-Service workstation which brings ERP (enterprise resource planning) to individuals with integrated artificial intellgent assistants. To be a part of our journey, you can begin by following any of the below steps to be a part of our ongoing development.

At its core, Solomon is a full-service workstation application for proactively managing projects with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Project content is vectorized and can be utilized by the in-app assistant for contextual data-analysis within an intuitive Dashboard used to create & investigate similarities within your data. The assistant can also help you identify key financial metrics, and provide important insight to project specific data.

We're building a windowed Electron application, rendering a NextJs project within a mono-repo, and its written in Typescript, and uses Tailwind CSS. Our backend and Authentication is Convex DB, and our main component UI library is ShadCN with our DOM provider being TipTap.

5. pnpm run start
6. (note) New dependencies may require the additon of: --legacy-peer-deps

Bug Installation Notes

Note: currently we're using 'electron-builder' which provides some advanced functionality that will be more important later on during development. electron-builder is a popular alternative for generating more advanced binaries/installers (like .dmg, .exe/NSIS, .AppImage, .deb etc.). The pitfall is that the builder takes a little longer.

Note2: I've temporarilty disabled the "prestart": "npm run build" to avoid generating a completely fresh build every time simply to expedite the above concern.

Note3: Occassionally, you may need to manually delete the electron/ dist directory, whereas it could potentially try to load previous 'versions' when updating the version in the package.json - otherwise, I've noted the bugs identified above in the Installation steps.

Note4: By restricting the Linux build target to something like "AppImage", electron-builder won’t attempt to create or publish a .snap file, thus avoiding errors about “snapcraft is not installed.”

Release Notes (development logs)

Our Front-End application is currently being hosted on Vercel, free tier as noted in the domain above.

Latest Release:
v1.2.85

Stable Version:
v1.1.51

Our Nextjs front end is hosted on Vercel. The Apple .dmg has been corrected, but is non-secure. Notary has been disabled (temporarily) until a more robust structure can be reviewed for Prodcution. In the meantime, contuing in development-mode for now [scaffolding is there].

Git Update Version Main Commands (steps)

1. git add .
2. git commit -m "Updated Electron version to x.x.x"
3. git tag vx.x.x
4. git push origin main vx.x.x
5. (optional) git reset --hard vx.x.x

development instructions:
6. git checkout -b new-branch
7. git add ./ commit/ push as usual

If you follow these steps, you’ll have a smooth, automated release process.

Roadmap:

1. [In-Progress] Editor Templates: Note/ Report style templates would allow for easy access to consistent and structured information which could be used for specific chat functions, or training later
2. Optimized processing for multi-document and Large/Gigantic File-uploads and transfers (currently limited to 25mb/ upload)
3. [In-Progress] Tasks: Kanban style task management boards for project specific notes w/ Calendar views
4. Tags: N.E.R (named entity recognition) tagging and highlight tags for in-application File Preview, adding additional context to enhance chat functionality and contextual awareness
5. Browser: In-App Browser Extension for web-browsing and research oriented context scraping
6. R.A.G (retrieval augmented generation) API for external use of proprietary unstructured content processing
7. Collaboration features (organizations and real-time multi-user project editing)
8. Sync Files w/ Sharepoint, Docs, etc.
9. ...

Enjoy!
