posted an update

Just shipped the first working version of DINOVA.

What’s working now

  • Chat-style UI (conversation-first)
  • Modes: General / Summary / Plan / Email
  • Per-chat settings (mode/length/tone) now actually stay consistent
  • Message actions: copy, PDF export, like/dislike, text-to-speech
  • Chats persist across refresh (empty chats auto-close)

Challenges I hit (real hackathon pain)

  • Bedrock access/credentials were the biggest blocker early on (SSO tokens expiring, account restrictions).
  • Tool settings were “leaking” across chats at first—fixed by saving settings per chat and tightening prompt contracts.
  • UI polish took time: scroll issues, long chat titles breaking layout, and making the sidebar behave like a real chat app.

Next step Deployment + public demo URL (and then the short demo video walkthrough).

If you try it, drop feedback in the comments—especially on output quality for Email/Plan mode.
