Feature request roadmap

[loulou64490]

Yo, I centralize all my incomplete feature request in this issue (from https://github.com/Jeffser/Alpaca/issues/48 and https://github.com/Jeffser/Alpaca/issues/53), this will be more readable :+1:

• [ ] remove time and date on chat bubble and change the text color of the models name more grey (like subtitle)

• [ ] make chat bubble width smaller

• [ ] add the default model option in the settings

• [ ] add a system prompt option in the settings

• [x] add a welcome page for new chat

• [x] Remove subtitle in setting>general, they bring nothing

• [x] Make the used model name under the answer unselectionnable (this word doesn't exist hahaha)

Thank you :heart:

Say me @Jeffser if you don't plan to do them, I can remove the issue or a task (and also stop harass you haha)

This should be closed and i think same thing can be prepared again as the app is no longer same when this feature request posted. I think @loulou64490 will make another with new app and stuff are already implemented which no longered needed to be mentioned.

[Jeffser]

That's why it has checkboxes

[Jeffser]

Now I present to you guys probably the best new feature of the next version.. System prompts per chat!

https://github.com/Jeffser/Alpaca/commit/60df1278a6ee54d7783cbaacf7ea8b1e0654288c

Edit:

That menu opens by right clicking / long pressing the send button

[loulou64490]

omg

[Jeffser]

yeah lol

[Jeffser]

I also mentioned this in a different issue but I redesigned the messages and added the edit button to bot messages

[Jeffser]

I think we can finally close this issue right?

[loulou64490]

amazing

[Jeffser]

btw in case you were wondering, yes you can attach documents to a system message too

Will it able to install softwares also and run commands on system

[Jeffser]

Will it able to install softwares also and run commands on system

Well the integrated terminal can run pretty much whatever if you install Alpaca as a system app (Arch Linux package)

But I added a certain check for Flatpak, if you give it enough permissions it can do pretty much whatever, the only limitation is that it can't actually run sudo so it changes it for pkexec, if you don't have that command stuff that requires root won't run.

if you want to test it use this command

flatpak override --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak com.jeffser.Alpaca

[Jeffser]

that's the same permission that makes possible terminal emulators like Konsole on Flatpak

If you dont have sudo you can't run many things mainly running stuff with docker or similar like thst though podman can be used... I hope it does not run rm -rf /😅

[Jeffser]

yeah but it does have pkexec though, is this thingy in case you didn't know

So it can actually get root privileges, pretty dangerous if you run it outside the sandbox though hahaha

I was thinking if you can hard code some commends which cannot be run directly from that app whether you are in a sandboxed or non-snadboxed env you can't run stuff like touching root area or installing application outside of your system repos and also should not be allowed to touch the areas like firewall... And some other areas...

[Jeffser]

that might be an idea worth looking into for the next version, thanks
