hiblob 1.0.1

Deterministic geometric blob avatars from any string, with a pure Dart core and static or animated Flutter widgets.

Changelog

1.0.1

• README visual refresh: hero and generated sample galleries embedded in the readme, plus samples in assets/.
• Expanded link to the official JavaScript port — hiblob on npm (github.com/igu1/hiblob-npm) — with byte-identical output, golden-tested against this implementation.
• New untracked spec: NPM_PORT_SPEC.md, the complete handoff document the npm port was built from. No visual or API changes.

1.0.0

First stable release. Deterministic geometric blob avatars from any string, with a pure Dart core and static or animated Flutter widgets.

• Pure Dart core: NFC normalization, hashing, traits, HSL + OKLCh palette, geometry, expressions, and elapsed-time motion — no Flutter or dart:ui.

• Static and animated Flutter widgets with hover/always motion, expression crossfades, held thinking seesaw and mad tremor loops, reduced-motion support, and tickers that only run while motion should advance.

• Twelve silhouettes, sixteen expressions, four backdrops, and a fitted accessory layer (glasses with curved bridges, an outline-following brow cap with cuff and seams, blush, antennae) — all name-driven and pinnable.

• Mouths per expression, active or off via HiblobOptions(mouth: false).

• SVG export (svgOf, svgFromName) and the layoutFor/partsFor/ drawStepsOf draw list for use outside Flutter.

• Accessory redesign: the brow cap is now fitted to the actual upper outline of every silhouette (cloud puffs, nubs, and star points included) with a contrasting cuff and stitched panel seams, instead of a circular dome that overflowed wide or spiky shapes. Caps and seams are clipped to the body in both the Canvas renderer and SVG export.

• Glasses redesigned: wider rounded lenses, a curved bridge, and temple arms that end on the body outline instead of stubs floating mid-air.

• Mouths: every expression now draws a mouth under the eyes; turn it off with HiblobOptions(mouth: false). Two new expressions, grin and frown.

• Accessories: a deterministic accessory layer (glasses, brow fringe, blush, antennae), name-driven by default and pinnable per key through HiblobOptions.accessories with AccessoryKeys.

• Two new silhouettes, gem and pillow, rebanding the rare tail (droplet, cloud, sun moved slightly — a 0.2.0 visual contract bump).

• OKLCh color helpers: argbToOklch, oklchToArgb, and oklchBlend. Expression tints now blend perceptually.

• Names now normalize through Unicode NFC (unorm_dart): e + U+0301 and é hash identically.

• Held expression motion: thinking slowly seesaws its body, mad adds a fast tremor — both arrive in MotionFrame.bodyX/bodyY and quiet with the ramp.

• layoutFor/partsFor/drawStepsOf expose the resolved draw list without Flutter.

• SVG export: svgOf/svgFromName produce standalone SVG documents.

• The face (body, mouth, accessories) now rides the bob/breathe transform together in the Flutter renderer.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• Pure Dart core: deterministic normalization, hashing, traits, OKLCh colors, geometry, expressions, and elapsed-time motion — no Flutter or dart:ui imports.
• Static and animated Flutter painters and widgets with hover/always motion, expression morphing, reduced-motion support, and lifecycle-safe tickers.
• Ten silhouettes, fourteen expressions, four backdrops, and an authored OKLCh palette, all driven by a frozen seed-to-look mapping pinned by the checked-in reference fixture.
• Blob Studio example app, parity fixtures, and package CI checks.
