Four wins:
1. Replace <input type=file capture> with a getUserMedia
viewfinder modal on mobile. Tapping the shutter goes straight
to the crop modal — skips the OS "retake/use" confirm step.
Falls back to file picker if camera permission is denied or
the API is unavailable. "Pick from file" icon
(photo_library) inside the camera modal opens the gallery
on demand.
2. Drop the Reset button — with no default crop box, "reset" is
just "no box again," which is the starting state anyway.
3. The check (Use this) button is now larger and more prominent
— wider padding, 24px icon, accent fill.
4. Invert-colours toggle (invert_colors icon) in the crop modal.
White-on-dark text (signs, menus, screenshots) breaks
Tesseract because the binariser was made for ink on paper.
Toggling the button flips the grayscale buffer before
adaptive thresholding so the binary output ends up
black-on-white. State plumbed cleanly: openCropper now
resolves with {blob, invert}; preprocessForOCR takes an
{invert} option; binarizeAdaptive applies the flip.
Also: drop `capture=environment` from the file <input>. Without
it the file path correctly opens the gallery/file dialog instead
of re-opening the OS camera when the user picks "Pick from file".
finrod
Tiny web translator backed by Ollama on radagast. Named for Finrod Felagund, Noldor loremaster of the tongues of Men.
Run
uv run uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --reload
Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000.
Config

MODEL_FILTER |
gemma,aya |
Comma-separated substrings; model matches if it contains any. Empty = show all |
Models
For Pt/Nl/En translation, three worth A/B-ing:
ssh radagast 'ollama pull gemma2:9b' # already there — big-and-broad baseline
ssh radagast 'ollama pull gemma3:4b' # newer multilingual training, ~2-3× faster on Ivy Bridge
ssh radagast 'ollama pull aya-expanse:8b' # Cohere multilingual model, strong on Dutch
All three fit in radagast's 10 GB at Q4. Switching models in the dropdown forces Ollama to load the new weights — expect a 5-15 s pause on the first call after a switch while it reads from disk.
Build / push image
Built locally and pushed to Scaleway — no Gitea runners on the homelab yet, so there's no CI workflow.
One-time setup (host needs buildx + QEMU for cross-arch):
docker buildx create --name multi --use
docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all
docker login rg.nl-ams.scw.cloud -u nologin -p <SCW_SECRET_KEY>
Then on every change:
./build.sh
That builds linux/amd64,linux/arm64 and pushes three tags:
:latest— moving pointer:<git-short-sha>— immutable, traceable:<pyproject-version>(e.g.:0.1.0) — semver
Deploy
Cluster manifests live in valinor/apps/finrod/ (bjw-s app-template, internal-only ingress at finrod.jpnadas.xyz). To roll out a new build, bump tag: in valinor/apps/finrod/values.yaml to the new semver on a branch → PR → merge → ArgoCD syncs.
Release workflow
This project uses Semantic Versioning and keeps a human-edited CHANGELOG.md.
To cut a release:
- On a branch, edit
CHANGELOG.md: move accumulated[Unreleased]notes into a new## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DDsection. - Bump
versioninpyproject.tomltoX.Y.Z. - PR → merge to
main. - Tag the merge commit:
git checkout main && git pull git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z" git push origin vX.Y.Z ./build.sh— the image now also gets:X.Y.Z(read frompyproject.toml).- In
valinor, bumpapps/finrod/values.yamltag:from the previous version toX.Y.Zon a branch → PR → ArgoCD picks it up.
