Changelog

• Fixed: Nomi avatars showed as empty spaces in the popup, the group list and the export headers after nomi.ai changed how profile pictures are served. The extension now loads them from the new media endpoint, including video profile pictures and their poster frame.
• Fixed: generation prompts were missing from the gallery captions and the prompt files. nomi.ai no longer includes them in the album list, so the extension now fetches each Art, edited image and video prompt from its own request. Albums with many Art images take a few seconds longer to scan.
• The full backup no longer stores selfies twice: the chat now links each selfie to the album copy already in the zip instead of embedding a second one. Bundles are smaller, and the chat still shows every picture.
• Chat exports include selfies by default, so a chat downloaded on its own is self-contained. Existing installs keep their current setting.
• Fixed: on Chrome, a long chat with selfies could stop partway with an error (a rendered part exceeded Chrome’s 64 MiB message limit). Parts are now kept under that limit.
• Fixed: on older Chrome versions the download failed to start with an offscreen document error. The extension now requires Chrome 109 or newer.
• When your nomi.ai session has expired, the popup now says so and asks you to log in again instead of showing an error and offering a bug report.
• Prompt files are now saved by default: each Art or edited image gets a sidecar .txt with its generation prompt. Existing installs keep their current setting; turn it off under Downloads if you don’t want them.

• The popup now notices when the extension’s access to nomi.ai was revoked (Firefox lets you toggle it off at any time) and offers a one-tap “Grant access” button instead of a misleading connection error.
• The login, permission and connection cards link to the help guide.
• Error reports can now optionally include your account email, so a reply can reach you right in the extension (the same opt-in the manual bug form already had).
• Reports are easier to track: a friendlier report id (like NDP-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and a plain-language line showing the browser and system they came from.
• You can attach the extension’s recent logs straight to a ticket, so a problem is easier to report without filing a whole new one.
• Chat export: when a selfie was made from a described scene, its generation prompt shows as a caption under the image again.
• Redesigned the full-backup index page: the album is grouped into selfies, art, edits and videos with prompt captions, images open in an in-page preview you can page through, cards show counts, and voice calls link straight to their spot in the chat.
• A separate album download now includes a gallery page too.
• Every exported page (chat, mind map, shared notes, backup) has an “Open on Nomi.ai” link back to the companion.
• Advanced mode gains an “All” option that saves the whole backup in one zip, the same as simple mode.
• Downloaded files now include the time, so downloading the same thing twice in a day no longer adds a “(1)” to the name.
• Fixed: a chat containing voice messages or selfie-only replies could crash the export (chat, bundle and Markdown), and the chat export sometimes even said “downloaded” when it had actually failed and saved nothing. Those messages are handled now, and a failed export reports an honest error.
• Fixed: a brief network hiccup at the very start of an export no longer aborts the whole thing; it retries first.

• New settings page: a full-size sidebar layout replacing the cramped dropdown.
• Chat Markdown export: just the chat log and backstory, as a readable .md file.
• Voice message audio in chat exports, playable right inside the HTML, with a “most recent N” cap to keep zips manageable.
• Voice call transcripts included in chat exports.
• Everything-in-one-zip bundles with an index hub page.
• Update notice: the popup tells you when a newer version is published.
• “Only new since last” downloads got much faster on long chats.
• The download button remembers your last export type.
• Bug reports: contact confirmation before sending, and a Discord field.
• Fixed: the result of a finished download (or “no new messages”) is shown instead of disappearing with the spinner.
• Fixed: Firefox on Android claimed downloads succeeded while saving nothing, or hung forever on “Saving file”. Saves are verified now, and when the browser cannot save directly a saver tab opens with the file ready to download under its real name, one tap at most.
• Bug reports: a Tickets tab with two-way conversations, and complete, correctly labeled background logs.
• Fixed: Nomis with large mind maps were wrongly reported as having no mind map, and their exports were cut off at the first page of memory terms. The check is now instant, every term page is fetched, and flaky requests are retried instead of failing the whole map.
• Fixed: opening the popup while logged out of nomi.ai showed an endless spinner. It now explains what to do, with a button to open nomi.ai.
• Fixed: long Markdown and JSON exports could stop silently, or spin with no feedback. They now show live progress (messages scanned, mind map terms fetched), survive transient network errors, report an honest error instead of writing a truncated file, and Chrome can no longer kill the extension mid-export.

• Report a bug straight from Settings: a small form that sends your description with the recent activity logs, scrubbed of cookies and tokens.
• Live progress while gathering chats: long histories show “Scanning messages: N found”.
• Safer chat pagination that can’t loop or stall on odd API responses.

• Slimmer permissions: dropped the tabs permission (which browsers present as “Read your browsing history”) and the nomi.zar.mx host permission; bug reports now go through regular CORS instead.
• Firefox store submission fixes (add-on ID, manifest description), and the source package Mozilla’s reviewers build from.

The big rework: the extension rebuilt from scratch on a new codebase (four months and 250+ commits of work). Highlights:

• Mind Map, Shared Notes, JSON and Markdown exports alongside albums and chats.
• Group chats: HTML, JSON and Markdown, with per-speaker labels and group info.
• Advanced mode: per-type toggles and a split download button.
• Incremental downloads (BETA): fetch only what’s new since your last export.
• Photo ranges (most recent N, start at #N) and chat message ranges (from-to).
• Generation prompts saved with album media (sidecar .txt or PNG metadata).
• Configurable zip and file splitting for large exports.
• Opt-in error reporting with a full preview of what gets sent.

• The chat message limit and the include-selfies choice extended to group chats.

• Option to limit the number of chat messages downloaded (0 = everything), with its own settings control.

• Fixed an error when downloading edited image requests.
• Better error handling and logging when fetching selfies.

• Nomi videos download in MP4 when the backend offers it, via better video URL resolution.
• Chat and album downloads report progress per stage.

• Choose whether to download selfies along with a chat history.
• Cleanup fix for leftover download folders, icon fixes, and dependency updates.

• Option for separate download buttons for the album and the chat.
• Settings enhancements, and a fix for selfie images with unusual file types.

Large chat and album support:

• Big Nomi chats and selfie albums now export reliably: messages and media chunk into multiple files instead of building one giant one, preventing browser memory issues during export.

• Fixed interface issues on mobile devices.

• Interface fixes following the redesign.

The entire interface redesigned, the first of the extension’s two big UI reworks:

• A Nomi list with profile pictures, a per-Nomi info page, and a settings page behind a gear icon.
• Detects automatically when you’re on a nomi.ai page, including groups.
• Image quality setting (HD .png or SD .webp) and a folderization option.
• Album, chat, and group chat downloads rebuilt on the new interface.

• Support for Firefox on Android.

• Group chat downloads.
• API endpoint fix.

• Follow-up cleanup to 0.2.2, plus an API URL fix.

• Removed a leftover test button from the interface.

• Downloads moved into the background: the extension tab no longer has to stay open while a large file builds.
• The background script migrated to Vite, files stream from the content script, and the first Firefox download fixes landed.

• Toggle to include or exclude selfie images in chat downloads.

• Chats and albums start building immediately: the slow pre-download scanning pass was removed.

• Updated interface for chat file handling.
• The main menu is now the default view when opening the popup.

• Chat download: images and chat content can save into the same file.

• Chats can download in JSON format.
• The popup gained tabs, remembers your Nomis, and the menu was enabled.
• Removed the alarms permission from the manifest.

• Album download fixes, a proper build script, and dependency vulnerability cleanup laying the groundwork for the chat feature.

• Albums are no longer capped at the first 100 pictures; the download walks the whole album.
• Better detection of the album tab, plus dependency security fixes.

• Added a content script, and fixed the download button that a nomi.ai page update had broken.

• The Firefox debut, one day after Chrome: the same React rebuild, submitted to Firefox Add-ons.

• The album download button rebuilt, with a reworked hook for detecting the active nomi.ai tab.

• Rebuilt on React and Vite one day after the original shipped.
• Dropped the storage and tabs permissions the first build asked for.
• The popup shows its version number.

• The first published version: download a Nomi’s whole album from a browser popup. Built as a plain-JavaScript extension (a background script, a page script and hand-written SCSS) on New Year’s Eve 2023, published to the Chrome Web Store two days later.
