Model repository and download #45

Closed abb128 closed 1 year ago

abb128 commented 1 year ago

Due to large size, it's not viable to ship more than 1 model with the application. It would be good to have a model manager menu where users can download models or install models from local file for other languages and such.

Unfortunately this may require the application to have internet permission after all.

As of e8edf34ff7fae8f1e3056493f3aff53cb6b989e4, there is a model switcher in settings, along with a link to download more models

I have decided it might be a better idea to keep model switching as is, users can download models in their browser and pick the file manually. This way, the application doesn't require network permission
