One repo, three products

Bloom/
├─ app/, build.gradle.kts, ...   Android app (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose)
├─ bloom-extension/              Desktop browser extension (Manifest V3)
├─ site/                         Website: index.html, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, og.png
└─ .github/workflows/build.yml   One workflow that builds and ships everything

What happens on every push to main

1. GitHub builds Bloom.apk from app/.
2. It zips bloom-extension/ into a Chrome/Edge zip and a Firefox zip.
3. It creates a GitHub Release with the APK and both zips attached.
4. It deploys site/ plus the APK and zips to GitHub Pages, so the website's download buttons are direct links on the same domain.

One-time setup: repo Settings -> Pages -> Source: GitHub Actions. Keep the repo public.

Install

• Android: open the APK, allow installs from your browser, follow the in-app Setup guide.
• Chrome / Edge: unzip Bloom-extension.zip, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, Load unpacked.
• Firefox: see bloom-extension/README.md.

Privacy

Neither the app nor the extension sends anything anywhere. The Android app has no internet permission. See bloom-extension/PRIVACY.md.
