0.9 is out.

Quick context if this is your first time: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace, an infinite canvas where you drop blocks for your Git repos, notes, tasks, files, and now automation. Everything about a project in one place.

The last release post ended with "move from visibility to control." This is the start of that.

Webhook block: drop one on the canvas, it becomes a live HTTP endpoint. CI pipeline finishes, monitoring alert fires, form submits, POST to the URL and Ideon reacts. Configure what happens: set a block's visual state, change its color, create a Kanban task, prepend text to a note. Runs server-side, no open browser tab needed.

Cron block: same action set, triggered on a schedule instead of an event. Preset or custom cron expression.

LaTeX block: several people asked for it. Write $...$ or $$...$$, toggle preview, done. Turned out to look better on the canvas than I expected.

Proxy / Header Auth: probably the most relevant one for this crowd. Already running Ideon behind nginx mTLS, Traefik, or Authelia? You can now configure it to read user identity straight from the headers your proxy injects. No OAuth round-trip, no separate IdP. A few env vars, and all auth events still go to the audit log.

Still open source, still self-hosted only.

Looks neat, but what's your policy on AI. This post already read like it's AI generated, so that worries me about the development of the project.

No AI, just Google Translate. I'm French, I write in my language and translate. Probably why it reads too clean :)

Some parts read very "AI" like the "still self-hosted still-open source" part.

Definitely didn't mean to accuse you of anything, just wary of the many AI projects around these days.

So definitely my bad, I acted a bit too quick!

No worries you we're right, I wouldn't have noticed that on my own lol, I'll keep it in mind

Being skeptical is fine, being accusatory with no proof is a jerk move.

Well in his defense, that language was sorta AI generated. Very glad the project isn’t. This looks like something I’m very interested in.
