Bedelibry App

Bedelibry-app is a WIP front-end for Bedelibry, built with web technology and functional reactive programming, and targeting web, mobile, and native targets thanks to reflex platform and tauri.

Bedelibry lets you specify your own schemas, defining a sub-set of English (or another natural language -- Unicode is supported too!) with an assignment of words to both a semantic and syntactic type. Bedelibry then parses sentences (and sentence fragments) into a logical form, which can then be queried against a local knowledge base.

Thanks to the power of reflex and Functional Reactive Programming, you get instant feedback as you make changes to your schema and input sentences, as seen in the gif below.

Building/Installing

Bedelibry-app is built with nix and optionally obelisk, so make sure those are installed first.

After nix is installed, to build an Android APK for Montague, just run nix-build -A android.frontend -o result-android at the root of this repo. This builds a symlink result-android at the root of the repo pointing to a directory with a built android-app-debug.apk.

To instead build a web front-end, you can run nix-build -A ghcjs.frontend -o result-frontend. The symlink result-frontend will contain a frontend.jsexe directory with all of the compiled js files needed to run the application, and a small index.html file that can be used to bootstrap the app. Note that the css files used by Bedelibry may need to be manually added to this index.html file in order for everything to display properly.

If you have ob installed, a simple web server for testing out the app locally (at http://localhost:8000/ by default) can also be run by executing ob run.
