    MotsDeMinuit 0.1.0

    Release notes for version 0.1.0 (build +1) — first public release.

    What is Mot de Minuit?

    Once a day you receive 16 letter tiles with Scrabble-like values (1–4) and
    3 daily challenges. Assemble one word from the tiles — each tile usable only
    once. Your base score is the total value of the tiles your word consumes, and
    every challenge you satisfy adds +2 on top. Everyone plays the same puzzle
    on the same day, generated deterministically from date + seed — and you get
    one shot a day: once you submit, the day is closed.

    What's in this release

    • The daily board — a 4×4 grid of letter tiles, each showing its letter and
      power value; a word row that grows as you place tiles (tap a placed letter to
      truncate from there, shuffle the remaining tiles).
    • A deterministic daily puzzle — tiles, values and the 3 challenge cards are
      derived purely from date + seed: same board for everyone, no server round-trip,
      a new game at midnight.
    • 3 fixed daily challenges as cards with live green/neutral badges while you
      type — +2 per satisfied challenge, no penalties.
    • French dictionary validation — only valid words can be submitted; the board
      turns green the moment your word becomes valid.
    • Full scoring with breakdown — base = sum of the consumed tiles' power, plus
      challenge bonuses.
    • Submit → reveal — the day closes on submit; you immediately see your result
      with the day's best words per score level (from a frequency word corpus). No word
      before midnight scores 0.
    • Two apps, two languages — a French app and an independent Dutch app, shipped
      as separate per-language builds.
    • Linux AppImage — a self-contained desktop build, attached to this release as
      a download asset.
    • A complete, FOSS-first release pipeline — dual build flavours (FOSS for
      F-Droid with no analytics; Play flavour with Firebase), F-Droid reproducible
      reference-build tooling, and Fastlane store metadata.

    Coming next (per the high-level plan)

    Friends' rooms with join codes and owner approvals, the weekly leaderboard with
    per-day scores and winner display, and notifications.
