Made a window, a wallpaper, and a top bar that displays the time Next up im going to work on adding apps, and hopefully later ill add a boot screen!
I added the first app. I created a framework for adding apps and you can drag them around, select them, double click to open them, and they open windows (and possivly do anything since it just calls a function)
I added webrings to my site, when i eventually finish it fully ill apply to join them!!
I added 2 new apps. An about me and a net neighbors section. I added a bunch of image buttons to my top bar, they show stuff about me, like pc gamer, cat owner, etc. I added a font for the windows. I have 3 net neighbors, which is so cool! I need to later make a button of my own and get a domain so i can join webrings and so I can finish my link section and allow people to link to me and have me as their net neighbor My 2 custom features not in the tutorial is that everytime you open playlist.bb it changes itās icon. the other one is that if you click a window it becomes the top window instead now, instead of needing to reopen it to be on top.
I fixed the webring app from spawning super high up to where you cant drag it. still an issue if the tab is like 100px tall, but like dont do that Also the domain after āfree buttonsā is really slow but it works for me I have also updated the readme to be better
I finally made a button! I added a robotx.txt and ai.txt to block web scrapers for LLMs I also applied to all the webrings i had previously, and added new webrings i found! Feel free to comment your website and iāll check it out, and maybe add you to my net neighbors Next I want to make a guest book (from scratch?) The new webrings i added were: hotline webring DS Ring DroidRing IndieRing Computering Webring HTML Energy Webring Webmaster Webring

Finished the arduino version of my clock/alarm. added a lot of stuff at once such as the whole alarm mechanism and also memory system which allows the clock to ārememberā last date youāve set after being powered off.

I made a working clock based on arduino and DS1302 module. It can be called a demo version since I plan to work in further and as a demo version it of course was fairly simple though I stumbled upon wiring problem which was fixed by swapping faulty jumperwires...

You can create your own sounds using the game engine, but you can also upload your own sounds. The program works by converting your sounds into a 16-bit audio that the game engine can render. Sprite Editor This part took foreverrrrr. Basically, instead of manually typing out sprites for your game, I wanted a editor where you could draw the sprites and then export them. This took forever because I didnāt know how to export your sprites into actual array code that would turn into a sprite. However, I was able to just reuse my code that render sprites from a list into the sprite editor and add functionality that would turn the blank spaces in the canvas into a ā.ā (blank space) and all the squares that are drawn into an āxā (the actual sprite pixels).

I draw my maps as plain text: W is a wall, C is a coin, ā. āis empty space (These are just the examples that Iām using for the demos). So a level is literally a block of text I type out, like ASCII art of the room. The engine turns each letter into a tile. It walks the grid square by square, and for each letter it looks up a matching 8Ć8 picture and stamps it at that spot. A āWā becomes a wall tile, a ā. ādraw nothing. This is all easy on paper but when actually trying to create it, it was hell. The amount of bugs that would come wouldnāt stop and I actually was very close to giving up for the day. But, I persisted, and after over 20+ Google Tabs, I was able to work it out. Animations: Even though I thought this would be the hardest thing to implement, this one was the easiest feature to implement imo. Itās a flipbook of sprites. A walk animation is just a list of frames, the same little pixel sprites I already made. Flip through them fast and the legs look like theyāre moving. A timer controls the speed. If I swapped frames every single frame of the game (60 times a second) itād be a blur, so I count ticks and only switch to the next frame every few ticks. That one number tunes how fast the walk looks. When it reaches the last frame it loops back to the first, so it cycles forever. It only animates when it should. While you hold an arrow, I advance the frames so the hero walks. When you let go, I reset to the standing pose so he doesnāt moonwalk in place. Whatās Next?

I recently fixed my contact me section of my website. Also, previously I had some security feature for my website so that my personal details donāt get leaked. I completely removed that and I made it public.

I made some fixes in the code which was causing misalignment of text under cards in the launge page.
Rewrote the CSS code after knowing the underlying logic behind it. Removed the spherical planet artifact from the layout and also reduced the CSS for reducing the loading interval

It uses Tauri to help with wrapping the app in a desktop layer to help make it a legitimate desktop app. A quick heads up for macOS users: because this is an independent, open-source application bundle, macOS may display a warning stating the app is ādamagedā on your first launch.

Click on that, type in your prompt, and Dewen will do the rest.

First off, I finally managed to convert Dewen to IndexedDB, one of my long-term goals for the app. LocalStorage was starting to become limiting, and I wanted something more scalable while still keeping Dewen local-first. Thatās why I went with IndexedDB. I set up DewenDB in storage.ts, added helper functions in main.ts to save tasks, notes, and activities, and made sure everything loads when the app starts. Now, I want to take a moment to look at how far weāve come. Dewen started back in December 2025 as a simple to-do list. From there, it evolved into a productivity hub, then a productivity workspace, and now an actual application. The task list, focus timer, quick notes, calendar, activity panel, command bar, and everything else have come a long way from that original task list. Building Dewen, and participating in the Stardance Challenge, has taught me much more than just how to code. It has taught me how to take an idea and turn it into a real application that people can actually use. Now that the Stardance Challenge is wrapping up, Iām going to be shifting some of my time toward other projects while continuing to work on Dewen. First, Dewen is my submission for the 2026 Congressional App Challenge, representing Pennsylvaniaās 15th District, so thatās something Iām excited to focus on. I also have several other projects I want to work on alongside Dewen: AuditionLM, an AI benchmark ranking and evaluation app; Local In A Box, or LIAB, a CLI tool for integrating and managing local-first architecture in applications; and Pocket Lab, a portable experimentation device for conducting experiments and exploring science.

For example, the focus timer reads 21:57, and you accidentally reload the site. Itāll still have 21:57 and continue going from there!

Added avatars and profile picture customization. Add your own image to serve as your avatar, look at presets for avatars based on hobbies and careers, and toggle if you want the accent on it on or off! š
Before this devlog, the search/command bar used to only do :a <task description> . To make it easier to use Dewen with the keyboard without navigating the app so much, I decided to add more commands to the command bar. New commands include: :n <note content> | creates a note :c <task> | completes a task :d <task> | deletes a task :f <duration> <task> | starts a focus session (e.g. :f 25, take out the trash ) I hope these types of commands make it easier to use my app, especially for keyboard-native users. Iām also planning to implement more command bar commands as I continue improving the app. Thank you!
I wanted to make it so that Dewen could be more discoverable rather than just requiring people to āclick a direct linkā, so I utilized the Netlify Sitemap plugin and Google Search Console to make that happen! This is a pretty cool milestone for Dewen, as it shows that it isnāt just another website project. Now I want to continue improving its SEO and discoverability so that eventaully, you can type in ādewen appā and itāll show up. Thank you for reading!
This week I continued to update Dewen with more polish and power to make it easier for people to use my app. These updates focus on overall experience, faster workflows, and turning Dewen into a more complete workspace. Features include: better responsiveness: To make the experience better for mobile and tablet users, I decided to improve the responsiveness of the app to transition to different layouts easily. more commands: To help keyboard users control their workflow more efficiently, I added new commands like editing tasks and notes, controlling the timer, prioritizing tasks, and more. To learn more about them, type :h in the command bar. new mini analytics: I changed two of the empty cards to contain Upcoming Tasks that are getting close to their due date, and Stale Tasks that havenāt been touched in a while. I hope that these new changes improve the user experience for Dewen, as this is turning into much more than a simple task list. Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
To improve the customization of Dewen, I thought it would be nice to add theme presets to make choosing a theme faster and more approachable. Themes include default, ocean, forest, sunset, rose, midnight, terminal, and slate. Another thing I added was localStoraging the focus timer state. For example, the focus timer reads 21:57, and you accidentally reload the site. Itāll still have 21:57 and continue going from there! I hope these new features improve the user experience of Dewen, and I want to continue improving them and the core experience of the app. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
Well, this is probably going to be my last devlog for the Stardance Challenge, so letās make it count. First off, I finally managed to convert Dewen to IndexedDB, one of my long-term goals for the app. LocalStorage was starting to become limiting, and I wanted something more scalable while still keeping Dewen local-first. Thatās why I went with IndexedDB. I set up DewenDB in storage.ts, added helper functions in main.ts to save tasks, notes, and activities, and made sure everything loads when the app starts. Now, I want to take a moment to look at how far weāve come. Dewen started back in December 2025 as a simple to-do list. From there, it evolved into a productivity hub, then a productivity workspace, and now an actual application. The task list, focus timer, quick notes, calendar, activity panel, command bar, and everything else have come a long way from that original task list. Building Dewen, and participating in the Stardance Challenge, has taught me much more than just how to code. It has taught me how to take an idea and turn it into a real application that people can actually use. Now that the Stardance Challenge is wrapping up, Iām going to be shifting some of my time toward other projects while continuing to work on Dewen. First, Dewen is my submission for the 2026 Congressional App Challenge, representing Pennsylvaniaās 15th District, so thatās something Iām excited to focus on. I also have several other projects I want to work on alongside Dewen: AuditionLM, an AI benchmark ranking and evaluation app; Local In A Box, or LIAB, a CLI tool for integrating and managing local-first architecture in applications; and Pocket Lab, a portable experimentation device for conducting experiments and exploring science. Stardance may be coming to an end, but Dewen never will. Thank you for following along, supporting the project, and watching it grow.
I know Iām contradicting what I said before, that I was done with Stardance, but I thought this was something cool to talk about. Well, I have agents in Dewen now! Integrating AI into Dewen has been one of my top goals since the start. Now itās actually a reality, and I feel absolute pride in accomplishing this. How it works is you toggle AI in the settings if you want it on or off, then it uses Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) meaning you can insert your API key into the app. Then thereās a button in the sidebar with shapes. Click on that, type in your prompt, and Dewen will do the rest. This is powered by my Python backend, hosted on Render and UptimeRobot opens it every five minutes to prevent it from taking 50 seconds to load the AI. I hope you enjoy using AI in Dewen, and have a great rest of your day!
I have added a second agent: the Researcher Agent! To make it work, you need to have a Tavily API key and insert it into the settings. Then you can type what you want and it creates a quick note containing what it researched. Alongside that, I also added agent selection where you can choose which agent you want to use. This prevents weird things from happening if you instruct the wrong agent. I hope you have a great rest of your day! Try out the Researcher Agent now! (if you want to š)
Now that Stardance is happening for another month, Iām able to do more devlogs, so kudos to everyone for making it happen. Another big milestone for Dewen: It officially has a desktop application now! Now you donāt have to use the website often and instead you can use the desktop application. It uses Tauri to help with wrapping the app in a desktop layer to help make it a legitimate desktop app. A quick heads up for macOS users: because this is an independent, open-source application bundle, macOS may display a warning stating the app is ādamagedā on your first launch. You can learn how to do it correctly in the README on the GitHub repo page. Dewen is currently available for macOS, but I hope to expand it to Windows and Linux as well. Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great day!
This isnāt really a devlog, but I thought I might just post about it. My app, after not having an identity for so long, finally has its own logo. I feel extremely glad about the logo being over and done with and the colors in the logo as well. I want to give credit to @Jcleo2 for creating the geometry for the logo, which I then refined and added my own colors. So thank you @Jcleo2 . Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
Last devlog: I decided to add multilingual support to make Dewen more accessible to people around the world. It supports languages like Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more. Feel free to try it out if youād like š
Nothing to worry about here, just making a mobile version of Dewen for the Apple Swift Student Challenge
Ships:
This is my task and project management web app called Dewen, which is meant to be completely subscription-free, AI-optional, and local-first while delivering useful productivity tools. What was definitely challenging was the search and command bar, where I had to rely on AI tools to help me build it. What Iām proud of is how the tools sync with each other. When you add a task, it renders on the calendar, and when you start a focus session, the activity panel logs the action. Finally, users should know that it takes barely any steps to get started, since there are no accounts.
New Dewen version! Includes: removed topbar and updated sidebar accent color customization animation for collapsing and expanding mini analytics made what to focus on an analytic necessary bug fixes There will be more to come. Thanks for supporting me on this journey!
Features Added IndexedDB integration Avatars and more customization options More command bar commands SEO improvements so Dewen can appear in Google search results Two new mini analytics: Upcoming Tasks and Stale Tasks Better responsiveness across devices What was challenging? Probably the IndexedDB integration. It meant moving from a simple storage method to a full database. I had to learn how to create object stores, save data to them, and load that data when the app starts. What am I proud of? The IndexedDB integration and the increased customization. Adding IndexedDB makes Dewen feel much more like a real application than just a project, while features like avatars and theme presets make it much easier for users to personalize their experience. Whatās next? Now that the Stardance Challenge is about to wrap up, Iām going to pivot some of my time toward other things, including the Congressional App Challenge and my other projects: AuditionLM, LIAB, and Pocket Lab, while also continue development on Dewen. Thank you for supporting me throughout this challenge and following along as Dewen grew.
Last major ship for Dewen: agents with a Bring Your Own Key structure a desktop app for macOS multilingual support and a new logo (credit to @Jcleo2 for the logo geometry) Feel free to try out the new stuff if youād like. https://dewen.netlify.app...
