When create new conversation session, automatically request query. As
that is expected next action after creating new session
Pass session-id to khoj-chat to allow reuse from
create-new-conversation func
When delete conversation session, do not call load chat session.
Unnecessary action.
Use thread-last to improve code flow in new, delete conversation funcs
Previously the cursor would move to the Khoj side pane on opening it.
This would break user's flow, especially when find similar triggers
automatically
New behavior maintains smoother update of auto find similar without
disrupting user browsing
Previously it would show complete result body this would make the
result width variable and hard to track all the returned results
Showing just heading makes it easier to track
- Call find similar on current element if point has moved to new
element
- Delete the first result from find-similar search results as that'll
be the current note (which is trivially most similar to itself)
- Determine find-similar based text formating at the rendering layer
rather than at the top level find-similar func
Given img src enforcement via CSP required loosening. Soft enforce it
via a regex replace of img HTML elements if the src isn't from the
whitelisted set of source prefixes.
Currently allowed source prefixes are
- app: for local images
- data: for inline generated images
- https://generated.khoj.dev: for cloud generated images
- Create and use a function to convert markdown to sanitized html
- Remove unused Latex delimiter handling as Katex isn't used in
Khoj chat on Obsidian
- C-x o to switch to search org content conflicts with switch buffer shortkey
This is more apparent in the async search scenario as it prevents
perform other actions while async search is in progress
- Also switching content type wouldn't scale to all the content types
Khoj will support without causing more conflicting keybinding
Khoj side pane occupies a vertically split bottom right side pane.
If the bottom right window is not a vertical split, create a new
vertical split pane for khoj, otherwise reuse the existing window
See the currently active window in context while doing chat, search
or find similar operations in a side pane.
This is similar to how we've moved Khoj on Obsidian into the side pane
as well
* Add language-specific syntax highlighting via highlight.js
- Add highlight.js to our assets CDN for fast load and compliance with the CSP
- See other stylesheets options here: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/highlight.js
* Bonus: set min-height to prevent increasing length of the sessions pane
* Fix references rendering and add highlight.js in public conversation
* Fix multilingual font rendering; fallback to an Arabic language font which contains more Asian characters. Close#756
* Tune font-sizes and styling to accomodate new fonts with old sizing
- Move connection-status styling out from inline html into css block
- Remove start typing chat-input height jitter
- align new-conversation button, text
- use relative font sizes instead of absolute font sizes in most places

Prevent XSS attacks by enforcing Content-Security-Policy (CSP) in apps.
Do not allow loading images, other assets from untrusted domains.
- Only allow loading assets from trusted domains
like 'self', khoj.dev, ipapi for geolocation, google (fonts, img)
- images from khoj domain, google (for profile pic)
- assets from khoj domain
- Do not allow iframe src
- Allow unsafe-inline script and styles for now as markdown-it escapes html
in user, khoj chat
- Add hostURL to CSP of the Desktop, Obsidian apps
Given web client is served by khoj server, it doesn't need to
explicitly allow for khoj.dev domain. So if user self-hosting, it'll
automatically allow the domain in the CSP (via 'self')
Whereas the Obsidian, Desktop clients allow configure the server URL.
Note *switching server URL breaks CSP until app is reloaded*
- Dedupe the code to add action buttons to chat messages
- Update the renderIncrementalMessage function to also add the action
buttons to newly generated chat messages by Khoj
Previously clicking inline links would open the URL directly in the
Desktop app. This was strange and it didn't provide any way to go back
to Khoj desktop app UI from the opened link
- Pass file path of reference along with the compiled reference in
list of references returned by chat API converts
- Update the structure of references from list of strings to list of
dictionary (containing 'compiled' and 'file' keys)
- Pull out the compiled reference from the new references data struct
wherever it was is being used
Simplify, reuse, standardize code to render messages with references
in the obsidian, web and desktop clients. Specifically:
- Reuse function to create reference section, dedupe code
- Create reusable function to generate image markdown
- Simplify logic to render message with references
- Setup websocket using Khoj web app as reference.
- Moved the geolocating code to chat view out from the general pane
view
- Use loading spinner from web instead of the thinking emoji
It'll replace any highlighted text with the chat message or if not
text is highlighted, it'll insert the chat message at the last cursor
position in the active file
- Jump to chat, show similar actions from nav menu of Khoj side pane
- Add chat, search icons from web, desktop app
- Use lucide icon for find similar (for now)
- Match proportions of find similar icon to khoj other icons via css, js
- Use KhojPaneView abstract class to allow reuse of common functionality like
- Creating the nav bar header in side pane views
- Loading geo-location data for chat context
This should make creating new views easier
- Allows having it open on the side as you traverse your Obsidian notes
- Allow faster time to response, having responses visible for context
- Enables ambient interactions
* Make conversations optionally shareable
- Shared conversations are viewable by anyone, without a login wall
- Can share a conversation from the three dot menu
- Add a new model for Public Conversation
- The rationale for a separate model is that public and private conversations have different assumptions. Separating them reduces some of the code specificity on our server-side code and allows us for easier interpretation and stricter security. Separating the data model makes it harder to accidentally view something that was meant to be private
- Add a new, read-only view for public conversations
- Pass timezone string from ipapi to khoj via clients
- Pass this data from web, desktop and obsidian clients to server
- Use user tz to render next run time of scheduled task in user tz
* Changed the styling of the link that takes a user to the settings page into a button
* added an indicator that shows if a user is connected to the server or not
* made a class name more descriptive and also made the text in first run message more intuitive
* changed the command to install dependencies in the README.md
* changed the class name of the first run message text to be more descriptive
* added icons in the desktop UI that shows if a file is synced successfully or not
* made the link class name in the homepage more descriptive
* fixed the hover issue on status box in the chat header pane
* fixed hovering issue on status box on macOS
- Reduces time to first render when loading long chat sessions
- Limits size of first page load, when loading long chat sessions
These performance improvements are maximally felt for large chat
sessions with lots of images generated by Khoj
Updated web and desktop app to support these changes for now
- Magika on Desktop app was too bloated (100Mb to 250Mb) and broke
install for some reason. Not sure why it was causing the app install
to fail but do not have time to currently investigate
- Just use file extensions whitelist it's good enough for now. Let
server handle the deeper identification of file type
### Index more text file types
- Index all text, code files in Github repos. Not just md, org files
- Send more text file types from Desktop app and improve indexing them
- Identify file type by content & allow server to index all text files
### Deprecate Github Indexing Features
- Stop indexing commits, issues and issue comments in a Github repo
- Skip indexing Github repo on hitting Github API rate limit
### Fixes and Improvements
- **Fix indexing files in sub-folders from Desktop app**
- Standardize structure of text to entries to match other entry processors
- `file-type' doesn't handle mis-labelled files or files without
extensions well
- Only show supported file types in file selector dialog on Desktop app
Use Magika to get list of text file extensions. Combine with other
supported extensions to get complete list of supported file extensions.
Use it to limit selectable files in the File Open dialog.
Note: Folder selector will index text files with no extensions as well
- Move new conversation button to right of "Conversation" title
- Reduce size of chat message loading ellipsis animation
- Add loading animation for chat session
- `fs.readdir' func in node version 18.18.2 has buggy `recursive' option
See nodejs/node#48640, effect-ts/effect#1801 for details
- We were recursing down a folder in two ways on the Desktop app.
Remove `recursive: True' option to the `fs.readdirSync' method call
to recurse down via app code only
- Allow syncing more file types from desktop app to index on server
- Use `file-type' package to identify valid text file types on Desktop app
- Split plaintext entries into smaller logical units than a whole file
Since the text splitting upgrades in #645, compiled chunks have more
logical splits like paragraph, sentence.
Show those (potentially) smaller snippets to the user as references
- Tangential Fix:
Initialize unbound currentTime variable for error log timestamp
### Overview
Khoj can now read website directly without needing to go through the search step first
### Details
- Parallelize simple webpage read and extractor
- Rename extract_content online results field to web pages
- Tweak prompts to extract information from webpages, online results
- Test select webpage as data source and extract web urls chat actors
- Render webpage read in chat response references on Web, Desktop apps
- Pass multiple webpages with their urls in online results context
- Support webpage command in chat API
- Add webpage chat command for read web pages requested by user
- Create chat actor for directly reading webpages based on user message
- Ask for Confirmation before deleting chat session in Desktop, Web app
- Save chat session rename on hitting enter in title edit input box
- No need to flash previous conversation cleared status message
- Move chat session delete button after rename button in Desktop app
Previously only the notes references would get rendered post response
streaming when when both online and notes references were used to
respond to the user's message
- Trigger
SentenceTransformer Cross Encoder models now run fast on GPU enabled machines, including Mac ARM devices since UKPLab/sentence-transformers#2463
- Details
- Use cross-encoder to rerank search results by default on GPU machines and when using an inference server
- Only call search API when pause in typing search query on web, desktop apps
Wait for 300ms since stop typing before calling search API.
This smooths out UI jitter when rendering search results, especially
now that we're reranking for every search query on GPU enabled devices
Emacs already has 300ms debounce time. More convoluted to add
debounce time to Obsidian search modal, so not updating that yet
- Fix
`get_conversation_by_user' shouldn't return new conversation if
conversation with requested id not found.
It should only return new conversation if no specific conversation
is requested and no conversations found for user at all
- Repro
- Delete a new chat, this calls loadChat via window.onload which
calls server /chat/history API endpoint with conversationId set to
that of just deleted conversation sporadically
The call to GET chat/history API with conversationId set occurs
when window.onload triggers before the conversationId is deleted
by the delete button after the DELETE /chat/history API call (via race)
- In such a scenario, get_conversation_by_user called by
chat/history API with conversationId of deleted conversation
returns a new conversation
- Miscellaneous
- Chat history load should be logged as call to that chat_history api,
not the "chat" api
- Show status updates of clearing conversation history in chat input
- Simplify web, desktop client code by removing unnecessary new variables
* Upload generated images to s3, if AWS credentials and bucket is available.
- In clients, render the images via the URL if it's returned with a text-to-image2 intent type
* Make the loading screen more intuitve, less jerky and update the programmatic copy button
* Update the loading icon when waiting for a chat response
* Make major improvements to the image generation flow
- Include user context from online references and personal notes for generating images
- Dynamically select the modality that the LLM should respond with
- Retun the inferred context in the query response for the dekstop, web chat views to read
* Add unit tests for retrieving response modes via LLM
* Move output mode unit tests to the actor suite, rather than director
* Only show the references button if there is at least one available
* Rename aget_relevant_modes to aget_relevant_output_modes
* Use a shared method for generating reference sections, simplify some of the prompting logic
* Make out of space errors in the desktop client more obvious
- Open external links using the default link handler registered on OS
for the link type, e.g http:// -> firefox, mailto: thunderbird etc
- Confirm before opening non-http URL using an external app
- Improve
- Only send files modified since their last sync for indexing on server from the Obsidian client
- Fix
- Invalidate static asset browser cache in Web client when Khoj version changes
Previously we'd send all files in vault and let the server
deduplicate.
This changes takes inspiration from the desktop app, and only pushes
files which were modified after their previous sync with the server.
This should reduce the processing load on the server
* Retrieve, create, and save conversations differently if they're coming from a client application
- Not all of our client apps will necessarily maintain state over the conversation IDs available to a user. For some (single-threaded conversations), it should just use a single conversation. Fix the code to do so
* Simplify conversation retrieval logic
* Keep 0 padding below chat response
* Add order_by sorting to retrieving the conversation without id
- Resolve PWA issues thrown by Chrome/Edge
- Add screenshot samples showcasing remember, browse and draw features
- This can provide a richer app store like experience when
installing Khoj PWA on Mobile or Desktop
- Add wide and narrow screenshots to show Mobile vs Desktop UX
- Add higher resolution favicon for PWA
- Use single web manifest instead of separate ones for Chat, Search
- Update manifest description with more details about Khoj features
Reset starter question suggestions before appending in web, desktop app
Otherwise previously it'd keep adding to existing starter question
suggestions on each new session creation if multiple consecutive new
chat sessions created.
This would result in more than the 3 expected starter questions being
displayed at a time
- Make collapse, expand toggle arrow point in the direction the action
will expand the side panel in
- Make the collapsed side panel reduce to a 1px sliver
- Respect newline with pre-line but not for bullets to improve
formatting of responses by Khoj
- Respect bold font by loading tajawal font with other weights
- Reduce bottom margin in chat message bubble, its taking too much space
