When I first started, I didn’t have a particular theme or design in mind. I began by building the basic desktop layout with a topbar, background, dock, and windows, and as I experimented with different colours and styles, I slowly came up with the idea of making everything cherry-themed. I then developed different applications such as Cherry Terminal, Cherry Paint, Cherry Music, Calculator, Screentime, Notes, and the Welcome Window. Each app was given its own functionality while keeping the same soft pink, rounded Cherry aesthetic. I added features like draggable windows, buttons, timers, music controls, calculator operations, pixel painting, and saving notes and drawings using localStorage. As the project grew, I focused on making each part feel connected and creating a consistent experience across the entire WebOS. I experimented with layouts, colours, animations, window designs, and interactive features to make the desktop feel more like a real operating system while still keeping my own style throughout. I also organised the project into separate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files and deployed it using GitHub Pages. Overall, this project has been a learning process from the very beginning. I started without even knowing what the final design would be, and slowly turned a simple WebOS idea into a complete cherry-themed desktop that feels personal to me.

Added a soft pink gradient header with a rounded close button. Updated the window background, typography, and button styling. Added a small cherry decoration to match the overall WebOS theme.

Added features for creating new notes, saving notes, deleting notes, and viewing saved notes. Implemented note loading so previously saved notes appear automatically when opening the app. Added drag functionality so the Notes window can be moved around like other Cherry WebOS apps. Challenges: Debugging issues caused by mismatched HTML classes and CSS selectors. Making sure all buttons were correctly connected to their JavaScript functions. Ensuring the Notes window works consistently with the other draggable WebOS apps. Progress: The Notes app structure and functionality are complete. Users can create, edit, save, and delete notes. Saved notes are displayed in the sidebar and can be reopened. The app now matches the Cherry WebOS style with rounded windows, pink gradients, and a soft interface design.

WebOS Devlog 5 💫 Work Done: Removed the concept of large app cards from the design. Redesigned the navigation flow so apps will launch directly from the home screen dock. Researched cherry-inspired dock designs and began planning the implementation for the next development session. Challenges: The apps section looked disconnected from the home screen, making the overall UI feel inconsistent. Needed to redesign the layout without losing the existing app functionality. Progress: Decided to replace the separate apps section with a floating dock integrated into the home page. Finalized the list of apps for the dock: Personal Info, Terminal, Pixel Colour, Music, Calculator, Screentime, and Notetaker. Planned a cherry-inspired dock to create a more cohesive desktop experience.
WebOS Devlog 6 ✨ Work Done: Completed the visual design and structure of the Cherry Terminal. Styled the terminal window to align with the overall WebOS aesthetic. Added design elements such as a custom header, window controls, and terminal prompt. JavaScript functionality is currently in progress ; the next step is implementing interactive commands and terminal behaviour. Planning additional visual enhancements and animations to make the terminal feel more polished and immersive. Challenges: Designing a terminal that matched the soft cherry aesthetic of the WebOS while still looking like a functional terminal. Balancing visual appeal with usability to ensure the interface remained clean and easy to navigate. Progress: Finalized the overall layout of the Cherry Terminal window. Designed a soft cherry-themed interface with a pastel header and dark terminal workspace for better contrast. Chose a clean monospace font and refined the colour palette to maintain consistency with the desktop design. Planned the command input area and overall user interface for an interactive terminal experience. 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 7 ✨ Work Done: Added working commands (help, clear, date, time, echo, calc, fortune, about). Fixed terminal bugs and ensured command execution works correctly. Further improvements and additional features are planned. Challenges: Debugging JavaScript errors to get terminal commands working. Maintaining the cherry-inspired design while adding functionality. Progress: Designed and integrated the Cherry Terminal into the WebOS. Successfully implemented and tested basic terminal commands.
WebOS Devlog 8 ✨ Work Done: Added interactivity to the Cherry Terminal by implementing functional commands. Improved the overall user experience by making the terminal draggable across the desktop. Fixed multiple bugs affecting window behavior and terminal functionality. Challenges: Faced issues with JavaScript event handling while implementing the drag feature. Spent time debugging conflicting event listeners and ensuring all terminal features worked together smoothly. Progress: Successfully transformed the terminal from a static design into a functional desktop application. Completed the foundation for future WebOS apps, making it easier to implement similar draggable windows across the project. 2 apps done, 5 more to gooo! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 9 ✨ Started development of the Pixel Art app for my WebOS. Designed the app window to match the existing cherry-inspired interface. Adjusted the layout and resized the window to better fit the desktop aesthetic. Fixed HTML structure issues that were preventing elements from displaying correctly. Next: Implement the interactive drawing grid, color picker, eraser, clear canvas, and save/load functionality. Stay tuned!!! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 10 ✨ Work Done: Continued development of the Pixel Art application for CherryOS. Built the interactive drawing grid and implemented painting, eraser, color picker, and clear canvas functionality. Added a custom save dialog and began implementing local storage so drawings can be saved and reopened later. Challenges: Faced several JavaScript conflicts that temporarily broke the opening, closing, and dragging functionality of multiple windows. Spent time debugging UI layout issues, including oversized toolbar buttons, canvas scaling, and window proportions. Ran into issues with the save system and modal positioning before getting the core functionality working correctly. Progress: Pixel Art is now mostly functional, with drawing, saving, loading, dragging, and window controls in place. Stay tuned!!! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 11 ✨ Work Done: Designed the layout of the CherryOS Music Player window. Added sections for album artwork, song details, playback controls, and progress tracking. Created a structured song system with details like title, artist, audio file, and cover image. Styled the player to match the CherryOS desktop aesthetic. Challenges: Maintaining consistency with the overall CherryOS design. Creating a clean interface while fitting all required controls. Progress: The Music Player has developed into a more complete desktop-style application. The interface now blends with the rest of the WebOS environment. Stay Tuned!! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 12 ✨ Work Done: Completed the design and functionality integration of the Calculator app in CherryOS. Connected calculator buttons with JavaScript click events. Added functionality for numbers, operators, clear button, percentage, and equals button. Fixed the calculator display so it updates correctly when buttons are pressed. Tested different calculations to ensure the calculator works smoothly. Integrated the calculator window with the existing WebOS window system (open, close, and drag functionality). Challenges: The calculator UI was working, but button clicks were not updating the display. Debugged the JavaScript event listener responsible for handling calculator inputs. Found a typo in the dataset property that prevented buttons from reading their values. Verified that the HTML data-value attributes were correctly connected after fixing the JavaScript issue. Progress: Calculator app is now fully functional and stable. CherryOS now has a working calculator alongside other completed apps. 5 apps down, 2 more to gooo! Stay tuned!!!🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 13 ✨ Work Done: Designed and developed the Cherry Screentime application. Built a functional timer with Start, Pause, and Reset controls. Created a compact window that matches the overall CherryOS aesthetic. Styled the app using the same design language as the Calculator and Pixel Paint, including the gradient header, rounded corners, and cherry-themed color palette. Implemented draggable window functionality and integrated the app into the desktop. Challenges: The window header title wrapped onto two lines due to the compact window width. The title alignment appeared off-center because of a CSS transform issue ( translateX instead of translate ). Fine-tuning the colors, spacing, and sizing to ensure the Screentime app blended seamlessly with the other CherryOS applications. Progress: Successfully completed and polished the Cherry Screentime app. Achieved a consistent visual style across all existing CherryOS applications. CherryOS now includes Welcome Window , Terminal , Cherry Paint , Music Player , Calculator , and Cherry Screentime , bringing the desktop closer to a complete and cohesive experience. 6 apps down, just 1 more to goo! Stay tuned!!! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 14 ✨ Work Done: Built the Cherry Notes app. Created the notes window layout with a header, close button, toolbar, editor, and saved notes section. Added features for creating new notes, saving notes, deleting notes, and viewing saved notes. Implemented note loading so previously saved notes appear automatically when opening the app. Added drag functionality so the Notes window can be moved around like other Cherry WebOS apps. Challenges: Debugging issues caused by mismatched HTML classes and CSS selectors. Making sure all buttons were correctly connected to their JavaScript functions. Ensuring the Notes window works consistently with the other draggable WebOS apps. Progress: The Notes app structure and functionality are complete. Users can create, edit, save, and delete notes. Saved notes are displayed in the sidebar and can be reopened. The app now matches the Cherry WebOS style with rounded windows, pink gradients, and a soft interface design. I can’t believe I have almost finished my project. It was super fun to make my WebOS. I will add some final touches before I ship it! I hope it turns out super cool!! 🫶🏻
WebOS Devlog 15 ✨ Work Done: Redesigned the Welcome Window to match the Cherry Paint aesthetic. Added a soft pink gradient header with a rounded close button. Updated the window background, typography, and button styling. Added a small cherry decoration to match the overall WebOS theme. Adjusted the spacing between the header, content, and bottom of the window. Changes Made: Reduced the unnecessary gaps inside the window. Made the window shorter and more compact. Improved the overall alignment and proportions. Kept the existing dock unchanged. I will ship it soon!!! 🫶🏻
Ships:
I have made a WebOS for the first time. It’s cherry themed because I love cherries. It’s not very advanced however I have tried my best. Hope you guys like it!
I made a Cherry-inspired WebOS. I have always loved cherries so I thought why not make it a lil my way? I had shipped this project before however a few apps were not working very well so I thought of making some more changes. I am an absolute newbie so I am pretty sure there must be more faults but I have tried my best and I hope you guys like it! :D
Heer’s WebOS 🍒 Heer’s WebOS is my first WebOS project, created using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. When I first started, I didn’t have a particular theme or design in mind. I began by building the basic desktop layout with a topbar, background, dock, and windows, and as I experimented with different colours and styles, I slowly came up with the idea of making everything cherry-themed. I then developed different applications such as Cherry Terminal, Cherry Paint, Cherry Music, Calculator, Screentime, Notes, and the Welcome Window. Each app was given its own functionality while keeping the same soft pink, rounded Cherry aesthetic. I added features like draggable windows, buttons, timers, music controls, calculator operations, pixel painting, and saving notes and drawings using localStorage. As the project grew, I focused on making each part feel connected and creating a consistent experience across the entire WebOS. I experimented with layouts, colours, animations, window designs, and interactive features to make the desktop feel more like a real operating system while still keeping my own style throughout. I also organised the project into separate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files and deployed it using GitHub Pages. Overall, this project has been a learning process from the very beginning. I started without even knowing what the final design would be, and slowly turned a simple WebOS idea into a complete cherry-themed desktop that feels personal to me. I hope y’all like it!🫶🏻...

wsp guys! im back to working on this project, i made a few css changes over the week, nothing much really, i would want yall to suggest me some features that i can implement in the website! feel free to comment, really helps out!
INSANE UPDATEEEEE! alright now ive added 2 new pages instead of 1 long scroll through page. Personally, the scroll through is really generic, and feels unfinished.

okay, honestly that grind was insane. 12 hours of work, i toughed it out. anyways, now to the project. alright, so a super cool update, now theres modes to the ai, like personalities that u think will best suit you. 6 modes have been added, just decide - the defualt, vent - ai is a calm listener and gives u small gentle steps, roast me - straight forward, friend-like attitude that shows you the total truth in a blunt way, hype me up - high energy, gets you pumped up u for the next step, talk it through - thinks alongside with you, and provides clarity, and finally break it down - treats your brain dumb as a task list, and is more analytical.

its me again! i was on a grind, and i spent 8 hours refining the mode-specific responses, i did not change much else. next up, im planning on adding mode recommendations. this update looks at your brain dump, and suggests if there is a better mode for this input.
i worked a lot on the backend already so now i decided to work on the frontend. im developing a liquid glass component for the topbar, its not ready yet, trust me making it is a PAIN. im also almost done with the mode recommendations! im pretty sure by tommorow, or today, all of these updates will be out!
okay, this devlog is gonna be a short one, since i just wanted to keep yall updated on whats up. basically, ive been facing bugs on the liquid glass topbar, i might scratch the idea entirely, not sure, and now im facing bugs on the mode recommendation…
bugs finally fixed!!! (some) alright, im back now, i had taken a short break. i fixed the liquid glass bugs, and it is finally good enough! Im fine tuning the mode recommendation feature, to make it accurate now.

Title: Led Matrix display from WS2812B led strip b Title: Led Matrix display from WS2812B led strip by @Zeti_1223 | Stardance
Devlogs:
Better UI
I switched to Web UI
New patterns and a custom mode
Marketplace
Manual Led control mode
New main menu
https://youtu.be/nikMZGicXPA
Working on Light mode
Import from GIF
Design fixes and Documentation fixes
Fixed animation sending (Finally) and created 4 new animations: Fire Twinkle Waves Spiral And fixed a readme typo
Ships:
Now it’s working and 95% done! Only sending custom animations is not working properly.
Created a new Marketplace system, with ratings, and stats. Light and Dark mode implementation. Import animations from any GIF. https://youtu.be/nikMZGicXPA
The project is 100% Done. Things that I did since the last ship: fixed the animation sending added 3 new animations fixed little dark mode issues fixed some typo...

I had to use Path2D and PathFollow nodes for this but tbh the PathFollow node was probably easier to use than I expected.

It was very worth it though. What next? I plan to add a fourth minigame along with some bg music (its quite quiet rn) and then add that freeplay mode!

But after hours of searching JUST for backgrounds (those hours don’t get logged btw ✌️) I actually found some pretty decent ones. All of them are from Shiroze btw on itch.io so all credits to her! I also needed some assets for controls (I’ll talk about that later) but those were relatively easy to find. I also needed a graphic of a pixelated rift which I’ll be honest doesn’t even look that good but I needed something to fill the space on the title screen. I imported a font too. Importing assets I imported them 👍👍 Implementing the assets For the backgrounds, it was pretty quick and easy you just replace the file on the node that you already created from the guide. Then changing the fonts for text was quick however when using pixel art assets including the font you have to make sure you manually set the texturing filter to nearest to make sure your fonts/assets actually look good. AS for the controls I was talking about earlier, I implemented those into the loading screens prior to the following minigame that needs those controls. I’ll be honest I had to ask gemini how to create a fading effect but I got the hang of it myself in the end.

Also, I renamed the game to rifted rush because… it sounds cool idk 😭. What’s Next? Hopefully, using my grant for itch.io, I’m going to find some nice background music for the game as a whole because it’s too quiet right now. Additionally, I plan to add two new minigames and a freeplay mode (will be the main mode after tutorial) where you can try to get a high score!

I made (for now) a demo of a WarioWare game and what it will entail when fully developed.
This is the finished (WarioWare-style) game called Rifted-Rush. KEYBOARD + MOUSE ONLY! if you’re mobile im sorry but pls skip What has been added/changed: TWO new minigames: protecting and dodging (i’m bad at names 🥹) much better, updated visuals to fit a space theme (including fonts) freeplay mode, endless minigames with difficulty scaling score mechanics which update based on time left feel free to skip the tutorial to access freeplay mode immediately also, just a little note if you cant get at least 2500 score in freeplay you have to give me max rating :) (just kidding just vote based on what YOU think of the game)
This is the second finished update for Rifted-Rush! KEYBOARD + MOUSE ONLY! if you’re mobile im sorry but pls skip What has been added: ONE new minigame: Star Drag (drag the star along) Practice mode - Get better at the minigames you’re the worst at🥲 - accessed by completing the tutorial then clicking the rift on the home screen WASD Support!! (arrow keys are still usable) IMPROVED difficulty scaling - now accessible to those who aren’t the best at games 🥹 COMPETITVE score mechanics - try this game with your friends too and see who can get the highest score! One last thing, like last time if you don’t get 5000 score in freeplay you have to give me max ratings again 🥹 (jk just vote honestly!!) playable link: https://spliceydice.itch.io/rifted-rush github repo link: https://github.com/spliceydice/Rifted-Rush...

So I started off like the guide suggests by making a title for the page and a description of this site and its purpose. Subsequently, I made the Header (top navigation bar) and added only the About Me, Portfolio, and Contact Me links and sections.And then ADDED 3 EXTRA SECTIONS A STARDANCE ONE, A SITE DESCRIPTION ONE and A BLOGS SECTION. I ALSO MADE A CURSOR HIGHLIGHT with javascript and A LIVE TAB where anyone can see WHAT I AM ON CURRENTLY. ALSO I ADDED A DROPDOWN FOR BETTER APEARANCE ON THE NAV BAR.
I changed most of the site. I added in the Javascript, 100 lines of Javascript. I basically created a more soul casing and flashy portfolio, if you will, that I certainly liked. Here is a small example. You can go see it. Everything is uploaded.
I started from zero. I started from zero, but not really, because now I had all the foundations I needed to create a perfect, full-on, very good app that represents me and is my personal website. So I started with the same boilerplate code for all three HTML files. Then I added icons from Auto Icons pack in Figma package that GitHub gave me. Thank you, GitHub, for giving me the chance to subscribing to your GitHub Developer Student Pack. I also created a nice embedded JS script in the projects.html that finds repositories, public repositories on my GitHub and stores them as projects.

It took me around four hours plus two hours for debugging and searching CSS designs.Also the color pallete i took from a ui optimization instagram post
Brooooooooooooooo! I rebranded again! Now it is the best version yet! It is a retro game console super mario inspired site. Most work was doing the css it was DREADFULL tbh. now I am designing the images!!
This site I finally feel is something that represents me + it has a better UX/UI overall! It is quite Neet SO here is what I added: EVERYTHING changed Here is WHAT CHANGED New Landing page features pixelart I made 2 types of content bgs: one for serius staff blank white 👌👌 and one for more silly and myself stuff pixelated letter paper Ig or smth (it is just yellowish and has black outline like wow) H for a very cool menu/hub inspired by playstation mid game dropdown activated by the ps button. SCROLL DOWN prompt to signify there is more to see I was told the colour pallete was not optimal to say the least so now it is much simpler paler and themed altho there are some hints from the previous one (i love purple) Now the screen is actually snap screen so 2 categories won’t overlap Replaced Spotify copycat w/ a game selection menu where more info are only available by tapping the middle button (github icon) Plus a small pixelated version of me gliding on your screen
Fixed some sizing issues and text overflow! I added some more details!Previous devlog mostly describes this!
I spent 3 hrs to make my own music track ro bg music to my personal website and I had to learn sonic pi from ground up so I can show it in my personal site as a coding achievement and I think it is rly solid if you want to mute it u can mute the whole page.
I added a my artsy side section in which you can click a polaroid photo and get teleported to my creation. I am thinking of adding custo contact links and game selector controls skip previous and play and then implement them in this site! I also updated the bg music to all the pages of my site except blogs cause thay gotta be read in seriousness. second screenshot is hover animation!
Drew all network links: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/tVeIk_5bqSzo and fixed them to 50 by 50 with css. Now I am off to the github repository selector where I basically need to draw one arrow and flip it upside down once so it will be very easy! Then I don’t know what else I could! However I am very happy by how it has turned out cause it expresses me better than any previous version!
I cleanedup the css cause it was a mess and I replaced the white boring div card with my pixelated fun super cool yellow version: This WAS NOT as eay as it seems. I was stuck for a WHOLE HOUR trying to figute out why it is still overflowing after all the padding I added… So after adding some borders, sprinkling in some exceptions and hating myself for not understanding css grids earlier I made it! YAY! I think this is one of my finak devlogs on this project cause literally what more could you ask for?! Btw this is me after realising it was not a padding problem but a background clip and origin problem!
I made a mute button for the music to achieve the best UX! JUST LOOK AT IT! No outline for the red line cause IT WOULDNT BE COOL!I also made t so you cant have it open on a small screen with a mice waning! And LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST I made an oppinion logger for anyone to share their opinion abt my site,me,my projects and my so called art!
I polished up some things and added stats section cuz Y NOT?LOWK TS is peak! When I mma gonna get super Project? This Might be the finest work of art the frontend word has ever seen!Like PROVE ME WRONG!BTW for the devlog I was about to post an AI slop gif saying peak but my pattern recognition kicked in and I found a human made (I hope it is) Akso PLS MAKE this NO. 1 on the explore page 😭😭💀💀 More about the session : My mom bought me a bathroom duck from the supermarket(Thx mom) I used a github readme activity/commit graph for my github stats The Leetcode and codedex are hardcoded I have NOT found an API yet or any stat form… My next project might be creating a dev stats api if you’d like that idea like and comment “banana” below Also can you guys pls follow me and star my github repos Sry for yapping I didn’t have much to say on the session itself (MY HTML slop Bores me)
GUYS I DID IT! SO my last addition was: A listening to widget just cuz music is such a big part of my personality (it was a headache to implement, I ended up usin last.fm). As a final summary Before shipping here are all the features: BG music I MADE (no AI slop point +1) + a mute/unmute button A hub interface HUD for the most important parts of my personal page Sections: MyName, AboutMe,Skills,Achievements,Dev Stats,MyArtsySide,ContactMe,Visitor Log, A projects page , A blogs page w/ 2 blogs) Interactive UI: click arround😉😉 The content on my page is TOO MUCH, TRUST ME I KNOW BUT it is a PERSONAL SITE after all and I believe it represents me best.

Hello just a lil fix here! Nothing I can actualy work with to write a qualitative devlog! Basically because I was told TOO many times the sizing was messed up on laptops I changed every size metric on my site to rem so it is scalable and remains asthetiacly appealing across all browsers… Thats all… I got the 3D printer I wanted as a prize for my projects and I am so jolly that is y I log less! me:
Ships:
I used HTML, CSS and JS. The repo is public but I submited everything at once because of working on it localy and It has a readme with contents and what I learned plus a small description of the site.The site is fully deployed with github pages as the guide suggested. I have in total 6 sections and 4 extra css and js features the guide didn’t cover. My css is custom, you’ll notice the stardance and hackclub words are in the color of the hackclub logo.Didn’t use AI, I am part of the boycott chatgpt group.
Visit my portfolio. I’m really excited. I put a lot of work into it. I researched a lot to find the specific CSS for frontend, like the donut chart and everything. It was pretty fun. I look forward to creating more projects like this. Please support me. Feel free to point out any improvements you would make.
I removed the Stats cause they felt too much and didnt work properly! bout my project ALL the artwork/code/UI design was made by me (+1 for no AI) Even tho I have made other versions of this site in the past I think this one describes me best Hub opens/closes w/ H Music can be muted by top left button click the big caracter behind my name or drag the walking kiddo at the bottom of the screen The pages and sections are: index.html -> Hero,About me,Skills,Qualifications,My Artsy Side, Contact Me, Leave a review! projects.html -> A selection screen of all my projects linked to a github repo blog.html->blog1,blog2 PLSSS READ MY BLOGS You might notice blogs have the least ammount of extra stuff cause I want the user to be 100% focused on my written form of ART. THE SITE IS TOO MUCH CAUSE I AM TOO MUCH Every last addition describes a feature of me PLS VOTE AT LEAST 7/10 I HAVE PUT MY WHOLE HEART INTO THIS PERSONAL PAGE (literarly)...

Very simple done! (yippie 🥳) The thing most of the people wanted: An integrated WaldAI 🤖😲: Using an free croq API I created the WaldAI. It´s using the gpt oss 120b modell by openai and is a bit stupid but for normal questions it´s okay (just don´t ask things witch are newer than 2024 😉😂) A very simple integrated game: The Waldracer! It´s the game slowroads by topograph.io and now it´s in the WaldOS© 2.0 as a standalone game thanks to the open source of their game: https://slowroads.io 🎉 Things that are also new but no app: A little staranimation is now greeting you when entering the WaldOS© 2.0 :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: That was it already, thanks for reading and the like and comment :) Try it for your own: https://github.com/Waldewort/WaldOS See you soon 🙃

The new App: Introducing the WaldTravel! The WaldTravel is a tool you can plan your next trip more climate nutral and you can explore how much CO2 is expelled with different Vehicles! Short realtalk: This app is very important to me to show all the world how to reduce greenhouse gases and help with climate protection ♥️🌳! This is the most important topic for our (the stardance) generation and the following ones and I think stardance is a good way to show this importance to more people. Thank you 🥰 The app is very interactive and shows the importance of this topic in an easy and good to understand way with visualization! Also I fixed again some bugs and smoothed the WaldOS© 2.0 expierience more 🥱!

But the WaldOS© is still in process and a lot more Apps will come, with even more features and better Style. Please remember that I needed 40 hours to code this caused by coding it BY MYSELF and not AI, so also the design is not the best but at least not a AI Design like on 95% of the projects here! Thanks for reading and your interest in WaldSearch© and for the good rating :))

devlog #2 - cleaning up the design i spent this one on the vibe. i gave the whole site a soft gradient background and cleaned up light/dark mode so both actually look good instead of just “not broken.” i also added a ray of light that follows your cursor, it’s pointless but i love subtle details. the biggest obstacle was buttons. i learned to build a custom 3d push button from josh comeau’s guide , and also picked up a bunch of other cool tricks from his site along the way. i took a little break from frontend and decided to hook up supabase to record one-word feedback from visitors. right now it shows up in a little box, but as more people send feedback, it won’t fit. i’m most likely going to do an infinite scrolling headline type thing because it would probably be the most compact and it’ll look amazing. more updates soon!

hello! ngl i took a little break from this project but im back and i made a few updates based on the feedback i got from you guys. this devlog will be pretty short since this was just a polishing update. the most significant changes include a new display for feedback, more information about me, and some social links at the bottom. so yea this update is pretty small, but hopefully the website feels a lot better to use!

i did some major updates to the website, including a new and improved theme, a click counter, and a cool feedback thing(make sure to send me feedback if u see this!)
a lot of the information is in the devlog i just posted, but here’s a recap: added warning to remind people to be mindful about what they type in the feedback box added some responsiveness for different screen sizes added three social links at the bottom of the about page moved the light mod button on the home page from the middle to the top right so it doesn’t seem like it takes you to another page (suggested by somebody) added more information about myself, like age and stuff like that 1 thing i wanted to point out is: GENUINELY BE MINDFUL OF WHAT UR TYPING IN THE FEEDBACK BOX CUZ I HAD TO DELETE SOME STUFF(i might even have to add some sort of filter later on) anyways hope you enjoy my project!...

I used AI for solving specific issues, solving problem (Bug is also fixed by myself, AI is used to identify and find how to solve). I took help during JS (But maximum portion of the JS came from my previous projects). I used very little AI, but designed, edited, planned, structured and write all by myself.

Devlogs:
I have designed the structure initially on paper and currently writing the source code.
Working on the main html is done and now working on css
Main page is complete. Now working on subpages.
Finally I got a starting structure for my personal portfolio website. It is a starting point ( I will update it continuously ).
New Update (Upcoming Currently in test not deployed) Added animation (Few animations) Changing from from all in one site to modular structure but keeping the At a glance view.
Recently, I worked on Interface , Visuals , Very little Animations and some sub-pages Currently my site have, View my Work sub pages (Will be updated with real data soon). Contact sub pages (CSS will be completed soon) Article Sub page is complete (Soon will be updated with my real articles) About Me section complete (little tweaks are coming soon) Time-line (Currently under development) All new updates are not deployed in GitHub repository or page/site. I may deploy it after completing the above 5.
I have just deployed the second version of my site. New Update: Added sub-pages (almost all sub-pages are online now except 2) In the next Upcoming Update I will update my site with real and accurate data.
I have upgraded my website with real data, look and sub-pages. I introduced some new look and position. Currently it is a stable release But still now it is under development.
I have updated my website. Here is what’s new, Written robots.txt for search engines to find my site. Written a separate 404 error page to show up during error. Added a privacy-first analytic tool for my sites.
New Updates and Announcement Today my site got new update with some fix (Only source level updates, that is why there is less visual changes). New Updates: The history timeline got new structure. The site have 2 view mode now. The site is now fast/ smooth. On August 10, I will release a Major Update where I will update the site with latest data, visuals and Proof (Since it is my portfolio, I can't just clam) , Structural improvements etc etc. Upcoming Updates include: Proof of what I claim on site. Total story on how I created this site and how I used AI (I will write in both project’s AI deceleration section and README ). I will add how the site’s Analytic work directly in to the Home page of my site (So, that the analytic is transparent to all and those who visit can know it.) Add Stats on the home page. And More.
Ships:
This is my Personal and Portfolio Website. Currently it is in its initial form. Since it is my personal website, I am going to continuously update the site and have no intention of discontinuation. And It is my personal website that is why I have designed everything. But I also have taken help from AI. Here is the full description: The design is uniquely mine. (I have edited the entire CS all by myself and HTML too). No one command AI is used. 2.5. No AI generated one-click website built. I used AI for solving specific issues, solving problem (Bug is also fixed by myself, AI is used to identify and find how to solve). I took help during JS (But maximum portion of the JS came from my previous projects). I used very little AI, but designed, edited, planned, structured and write all by myself. And finally I have my personal site. The site right now may not be in its better condition but I will try my best to make it better.
I have updated my site to new. Previously everything was just like a structure only. Now, I have updated them. How I have used AI is fully described in the AI Deceleration section. In brief about AI use: “I have used AI for solving problems and trying tweaks before coming to one conclusion. I used for making my site smooth because it was having friction”. And nothing more than that. AI is just for help (How to do? and Why?) and All other things are done by me. What’s new: Added Sub-pages Structural change (One row view at the main page) Place-holders for upcoming changes. In the next update I will update the site with most real and accurate data (since this is my portfolio).
This is my portfolio website. This is my portfolio as well as website. This website contains, my educational background, projects, Articles, contacts, timeline, currently working projects. Since this is written in pure HTML, CSS and JS, there is no mentionable problems. I faced some problems with embed code, fonts (Because I want to use local fonts, which result font changes from device to device). On what I am proud of from this Website is this is my 2nd and 1st successful portfolio. In previous months I tried to create one but those are not built according to what I was expecting. But now If I think that was because that time I was entirely dependent on AI. For on this project, I first planed on paper then worked on raw materials and integrate AI brick by brick. This result to the creation of a website exactly how I want. I really wanted to use three.js in my website to customise it with visuals. But using that JS causes my site to slow down. but I want to make the website as fast as I can. Because I think protfolio should be fast readable. That is why I tried my best with HTML, CSS and JS Thank You....

Added a cave parallax background, the player sprite animations and the health indicator
Finished the game with 9 levels, end screen, win screen, and boss at the end. You can play the game right now!
I ported my Game onto Android and Apple phones and added mobile support!
I created a world system where are the levels are connected and also added a damage indicator when hitting enemies and how much damage you inflicted. I also tweaked the combat system so now there is an aerial attack when you attack in the air which is faster than ground attacking
Made a new shop UI, cave system, and a dynamic camera. I also changed the block breaking physics so that the dirt particles have physics and also added ranged weapons and a grappling hook
I want to make this an Open World 2D Platformer Game so I have it so that you can travel between levels freely without select screen. I also changed the lighting and added various QOL features
There are now new enemies such as hornets and I have been working on a lot of new levels for my open world 2d platformer called Holy Moly!
I changed the colours to make the visuals more aesthetic. I also added mole village where you can talk to other moles. I also revamped the tutorial so that the player learns the controls better
I added extra polishing to the arena such as a new enemy spawning animation, and reworked the hornets which is the new enemy that dashes into you. I also added some story and dialogue.
I created a new boss called the corrupted snail which will be the final boss and also reworked the corrupted heart as well. I also added some extra story and dialogue and added a new map with quick travel so that you can travel from mole village to the shopkeeper

I made my final bugfixes and a few optimizations for web, I think you guys will really enjoy the game!
I polished the map menu to be more consistent to the rest of the menus in the game. I also added more selection to the shop where now you can also sell things in the shop. There are also two new weapons which is the miner’s pickaxe and the wizard’s staff which is the first ranged weapon. I also am currently working on a multiplayer battle mode.

Devlogs:
I spent time learning HTML and added a timer, 2 windows, and addition with colours, fonts, and others
I added aesthetics, added another terminal, and also started working on the functions of an app for settings and notes
After I created 2 features of opening notes when you close it and having settings to change backround, I just used ai to clean up my messy code and debugged some issues with the settings
added a to-do bar on the right side and when you close the X it deletes the to-do. I used ai to polish work
another devpost! recently from feedback I’ve decided to make a few changes around by turning the to-do list into another app. Another was to make the app icons more appealing I changed some visuals on the To-do in styles.cs Added some small details as I changed coloring of the to-do app and added more emojis Only used ai to polish everything for final code

I made a webOS of a theme around ketchup. The most difficult part of this entire challenge was just making the Demo URL. I had to AI this entire part because I didn’t understand how to make them. I went through a long process of debugging images and other problems. There’s not that many different features, just regular ones.

Rather than simply displaying information, the website immerses visitors in a cosmic environment where each page represents a different stage of exploration—from discovering projects to reading reflections and learning about the creator behind them. The project combines storytelling, modern web design, and subtle animations to create an engaging and memorable user experience while showcasing technical and creative skills. 🎯 Objectives Create a portfolio that stands out through storytelling and immersive design. Showcase projects, achievements, and personal interests in a visually engaging way. Apply front-end development concepts to build a responsive and interactive website. Blend aesthetics with functionality without sacrificing usability. Reflect my passion for astronomy, creativity, and technology. 💻 Technologies Used HTML CSS 🏗️ Project Structure The website is organized into multiple interconnected pages: Home – Hero section introducing The Cosmos and welcoming visitors. Mission (About Me) – Personal introduction and background. Projects – Collection of projects with descriptions and links. Captain’s Log – Blog-style reflections and development journey. Contact – Contact information and social links. 🌠 Inspiration The project draws inspiration from: The beauty and mystery of outer space. NASA-inspired interfaces. Interstellar for its visual atmosphere. The idea that learning is a lifelong journey of exploration. ✨ Credits Shoutout to Cursor 4 U for the custom cursor used in this project.

🌌 Project Overview The Cosmos is a space-inspired personal portfolio website that transforms a traditional portfolio into an interactive digital journey. Rather than simply displaying information, the website immerses visitors in a cosmic environment where each page represents a different stage of exploration—from discovering projects to reading reflections and learning about the creator behind them. The project combines storytelling, modern web design, and subtle animations to create an engaging and memorable user experience while showcasing technical and creative skills. 🎯 Objectives Create a portfolio that stands out through storytelling and immersive design. Showcase projects, achievements, and personal interests in a visually engaging way. Apply front-end development concepts to build a responsive and interactive website. Blend aesthetics with functionality without sacrificing usability. Reflect my passion for astronomy, creativity, and technology. 💻 Technologies Used HTML CSS 🏗️ Project Structure The website is organized into multiple interconnected pages: Home – Hero section introducing The Cosmos and welcoming visitors. Mission (About Me) – Personal introduction and background. Projects – Collection of projects with descriptions and links. Captain’s Log – Blog-style reflections and development journey. Contact – Contact information and social links. 🌠 Inspiration The project draws inspiration from: The beauty and mystery of outer space. NASA-inspired interfaces. Interstellar for its visual atmosphere. The idea that learning is a lifelong journey of exploration. ✨ Credits Shoutout to Cursor 4 U for the custom cursor used in this project. It added the perfect finishing touch to the space-themed experience.
I was asked to make changes in my website due to some reasons. I have finally completed working on those changes so I am reshipping it. I have made some changes in my home page as well as other pages. Also, I have made a ‘Lame Jokes’ page because why not? Hope y’all like it! 🫶🏻
My project was returned because someone reported it saying my ReadME looks AI generated, so I have reworked on it. This time I have written it in my way. I really hope my project gets approved this time! Hope y’all like it....

I first started off by creating another app. I wanted to make another game to sharpen my skills, so I decided to make the bubble shooter game. During this, I was able to learn a lot of new functions such as the Math functions and the degtorad functions. These functions allowed me to both control the angle that the player is aiming and control the way the aimed bubble ricochets. This was a little challenging for me because both of these were very new, so I had a difficult time trying to figure out how to use them in correlation with player inputs.

Here’s what I have done: I started off by creating and finishing the seventh app, which is a music player. This music player has a playlist of many Tamil Cinema hits. To create this, I first had to use for the first time to play the audio. From there, I created an array that would cycle through the different songs and their respective cover pictures. For the styling, I wanted it to be kind of similar to how a Spotify player would look, so I had to create a rectangular container and create adequate buttons and styles for the app. Overall, I was able to learn a lot about how audio is referenced in HTML through this app. After this, I just polished up all the other apps, which included the calculator and the games, where I was able to get the clear button working on the calculator and also get the scores working on the games. Overall, I was able to learn a lot in these devlogs about the variety of hidden functions inside HTML.

I did this using the youtubeiframeAPI. This allowed me to get the exact version of Youtube, but also customizable to my liking. After this, I used an array with all of the video IDs and made a function that would cycle through the videos. Overall, it was a good learning experience for me with these new features. The next thing I did was make a fun facts page. This had a bunch of different fun facts about Tamil Cinema. I did this by creating a caption carousel. I used an index, and used that to cycle through the different facts. Overall, I learned a lot about the different functions within HTML and also about video playback in this devlog.

The hard part about this would be figuring out what type of style I wanted for it. Next steps would be to start and finish up the fifth app, and maybe polish some of the other apps as well.
Hey guys! I have been working a lot on the Tamil Cinema OS. Here’s what I have done so far: The main thing I have been trying to accomplish is trying to create my fifth app, which would be Youtube. I have gotten all of the controls for the actual app icon all done, but I still need to work on trying to get it to connect. I tried using and then using the URL of Youtube, but that didn’t really work, as it refused to connect. I am trying to research some different ways I can try to attach the application. The other things I have been doing would just be trying to add some scores in the games I created. I am having a little hard time, as sometimes the score only updates the first time. Next steps would just be trying to get the fifth app done.
Hey guys! I have been working a lot on the Tamil Cinema OS. Here’s what I have got done: I started off with finishing off the fifth app, which would be Youtube. I decided that it would be better to allow the viewer to watch a playlist instead of the whole browser, as it would also match my theme because now, the viewer gets to wtach trailer of Tamil movies. I did this using the youtubeiframeAPI. This allowed me to get the exact version of Youtube, but also customizable to my liking. After this, I used an array with all of the video IDs and made a function that would cycle through the videos. Overall, it was a good learning experience for me with these new features. The next thing I did was make a fun facts page. This had a bunch of different fun facts about Tamil Cinema. I did this by creating a caption carousel. I used an index, and used that to cycle through the different facts. Overall, I learned a lot about the different functions within HTML and also about video playback in this devlog. Next steps would be to create my next app, which would be a music player with some good Tamil songs.
Hey guys! I have been working a lot on the Tamil Cinema OS. Here’s what I have done: I started off by creating and finishing the seventh app, which is a music player. This music player has a playlist of many Tamil Cinema hits. To create this, I first had to use for the first time to play the audio. From there, I created an array that would cycle through the different songs and their respective cover pictures. For the styling, I wanted it to be kind of similar to how a Spotify player would look, so I had to create a rectangular container and create adequate buttons and styles for the app. Overall, I was able to learn a lot about how audio is referenced in HTML through this app. After this, I just polished up all the other apps, which included the calculator and the games, where I was able to get the clear button working on the calculator and also get the scores working on the games. Overall, I was able to learn a lot in these devlogs about the variety of hidden functions inside HTML. Next steps would just be to finish polishing any of the other apps.
Hey, I have been working a lot on the Tamil Cinema OS. Here’s what I have done. I first started off by creating another app. I wanted to make another game to sharpen my skills, so I decided to make the bubble shooter game. During this, I was able to learn a lot of new functions such as the Math functions and the degtorad functions. These functions allowed me to both control the angle that the player is aiming and control the way the aimed bubble ricochets. This was a little challenging for me because both of these were very new, so I had a difficult time trying to figure out how to use them in correlation with player inputs. Next steps would be to polish the whole OS.
Ships:
Hey guys! I have made my own OS called the Tamil Cinema OS. This OS is all about the depths of Tamil Cinema. Currently, I have two different apps, the first being a notes app for first-timers who don’t know much about Tamil Cinema. The next is a snake game for some relaxation. What was challenging for me was trying to figure out what appas I should make, especially since I would try to make it Tamil Cinema related. Another thing that was challenging was all the different uses of classes and the HTML rules, since it’s my first time using these types of things. The thorough details are in my Readme. Hope you guys like it!
I made the Tamil Cinema OS, an OS dedicated to Tamil Cinema. Dive in to learn more about Tamil Cinema! It was built using HTML, Javascript, CSS, and too much knowledge about Tamil Cinema. Currently, there are seven apps that are active. What was challenging for me was trying to use arrays, as it was a little confusing to me for HTML. Currently, the apps are: Kollywood Notes, Snake Game, Breakout Game, Calculator, Kollywood Trailers, Kollywood Facts, and Kollywood Beats. New features are: Breakout Game, Calculator, Kollywood Trailers, Kollywood Facts, and Kollywood Beats. More thorough details are in my Readme! Hope you guys like it!

Here is a list of everything that I have added since the last Ship Features Breakpoints : press “F” to set a breakpoint at any address, the emulator halts the moment PC reaches it Watchpoints : same idea, but for memory Conditional Breakpoints : halt execution when a register (AC, XR, YR, SP) meets a comparison (!=, ==, >=, <=, >, <) against a target value Step Back : press “B” to rewind execution one instruction at a time, restoring the CPU and memory exactly as they were before Random Number Generator : a memory-mapped register at $BFF3 that returns a random byte from the host PC on every read, so ASM programs can have real random number Keybind Panel : a popup listing every keyboard shortcut and control, and removed the old footer keybind list to make room for it Demo Program Snake : updated to pull apple placement from the new RNG instead of the old pseudo random method ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ What was challenging ? Wiring the conditional breakpoint into the run loop without breaking the existing breakpoint/watchpoint checks was harder than I though. Also getting a dropdown-style menu to choose the operator working in Ratatui was tought since there’s no native dropdown widget. So I ended up building a little spinner (▲ value ▼) that cycles through the operators instead ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ What are you proud of ? I’m proud that my emulator now has real debugging tools like : breakpoints, watchpoints, conditional breakpoints, and step-back. What should people know so they can test your project ?

Devlogs:
Hi ! Right now in my project I have added : Bus with ram read & write function load from file function CPU All registry (a, x, y, sp, pc, sr) reset cpu function update Z & N flag function clock_tick with those opcode in it : BRK; DEY; TXA; TYA; TAY; LDA; TAX; INY; DEX; INX; NOP (1st screenshot is official emulator 2nd is mine)
I’ve added a new UI and AddressingMode
I’ve added a bunch of opcode like : STA, STX, STY (Zero Page, Absolute) LDX, LDY (Immediate, Zero Page, Absolute) JMP (Absolute), JMP (Indirect) (the screen shot is a new program that i’ve made and test on virtual 6502 and my project)
I’ve added those instruction: ADC (Add with Carry) CLC (Clear Carry Flag) SEC (Set Carry Flag) I’ve also made this little ASM 6502 program to test those opcode .org $8000 START: SEC ; to test CLC LDA #$FF ; A = 255 CLC ; Clear Carry Flag before addition ADC #$02 ; 255 + 2 = 1, Carry is now 1 (0x01FF + 0x0002 = 0x0201) STA $20 ; Store Low Byte result (01) at $20 LDA #$00 ; Load 0 for the high byte ADC #$00 ; 0 + 0 + 1 (Carry from previous instruction) = 1 STA $21 ; Store High Byte result (01) at $21 ; SEC use SEC ; Carry = 1 LDA #$01 ; A = 1 ADC #$00 ; 1 + 0 + 1 (Carry) = 2 BRK And it work just fine !
I’ve done a LOT of work. Added Opcodes: BEQ BNE SBC Immediate + Zeropage I’ve also done a lot of refractorisation. Code before : match opcode { 0x18 => { self .sr &= ! CPU :: CARRY_FLAG ; self .set_instr ( format! ( "{:02X}" , opcode ), "CLC" .to_string (), 2 ); }, // ... } VS now : match opcode { 0x18 => self .clc ( opcode ), // ... } So now every opcode have his own function !
Now there is a pop_stack function who return the top value of the stack (Last In First Out). I’ve also added those opcode : JSR RST And made this test code :
The now is new opcode ! : EOR ORA AND LDA (ZeroPageX) And some new AddressingMode : ZeroPageX AbsoluteX
New Opcode : PLA (Pull Accumulator) PHA (Push Accumulator) ASL memory LSR memory
There now is 4 new opcode: ROR ROL ROR Memory ROL Memory
✨ NEW OPCODE ✨ : PHP (Push Processor Status: push current value of all the flag to the stack) PLP (Pull Processor Status: pull current value of all the flag to the stack) But I have also add a memory dump with page (at the end of a program) to debug ! (1st screenshot) and i also add a fixed (address) memory viewer when running (2nd screenshot)
New opcode TXS (transfer X to stack pointer) TSX (transfer stack pointer to X) ldx_absolute_Y lda_indirect_x lda_indirect_y ldx_zeropage_y New Addressing Mode: AbsoluteY ZeroPageY IndirectX IndirectY
YAY I have added a BUNCH of new Opcodes : BCS BCC BPL BIT with ZeroPage & Absolute BMI BVC BVS
I’ve just passed 40min to fix an interruption problem to final look back and see that my original code what working perfectly fine 😭 . I’ve also change my build tools to ca65 + ld65
New opcode STA Absolute X
Add interruption with NMI + IRQ. Add option to the user to start at a specific address
New opcode time ! LDY ZeroPageX STA ZeroPageX AbsoluteY IndirectX IndirectY STX ZeroPageY Absolute STY ZeroPageX Absolute
I’m being closer and closer of getting all opcode and all Addressing mode implemented Here are the list of opcode I have implemented and there Addressing Mode: ADC Zeropage X Absolute Absolute X Absolute Y Indirect X Indirect Y AND Zeropage Zeropage X Absolute Absolute X Absolute Y Indirect X Indirect Y CMP Zeropage Zeropage X Absolute Absolute X Absolute Y Indirect X Indirect Y EOR Zeropage Zeropage X Absolute Absolute X Absolute Y Indirect X Indirect Y I also fixed the CLD instruction. I was doing a : cpu .sr | = ! CPU :: DECIMAL_FLAG ; but the right one was this: cpu .sr &= ! CPU :: DECIMAL_FLAG ;
I have fix some little print in 3-4 instruction and the IRQ function
YAY Now EVERY opcode and EVERY addressing mode are implemented 🎉 (wow 1478 lines of pure opcodes)
I am now making the TUI part of this emulator ! I am using Ratatui to make the TUI. This mean I have to change all the printing part of my existing program
I have made a program to disassemble the program so the code could be shown in the TUI. And it work !
YAY now the Flags can be shown ! Green Bold when active and Dark Gray classic when not
The UI is going forward one step after another ! I have changed a some little like the place where is the Flag Container, now it’s on the left side. And I also have added a LOT a things like: Register Container (under the Flag Container) Now when there is a JMP (or any type or jump like RST, etc…) the code indent it self Up and Down key move the cursor 🥁…. ✨UP & DOWN ✨ New color for the ADDR in the Opcode container Things I have removed: BYTES section in the Opcode container because I don’t think it’s really useful
I have clean the code a little bit 🧹 and added a RUN or PAUSED indicator :
I have tried to implement multi-threading but realize that it’s not worth it for a simple emulator like this one.
I have added a Stack Viewer on the left ! The container scroll it self when the “cursor”/current position of the Stack Pointer (SP). I also have fix the text for the SP in the register container
A lot has been going on ! I have added the Memory Viewer, Scroll bar to the Stack Viewer and Memory Viewer (work with the 🥁…. SCROLL WHEEL !). I also reduce the space taken by the opcode list so we can see the memory viewer !
I have fixed the cursor in the Stack Container to scroll automaticly when needed and when running. I also optimised the code !
I have added a top bar in the memory container with the last part of the address (to be more easy to read). I also fixed all the scroll bar from scrolling outside the container and just see nothings
Choosing between a variety of logo (2 first screen shot are in Apple Terminal the last is in ghostty with a Catpuccin Mocha theme)
New feature 🥁🥁🥁 ✨ THE SCREEN ✨ This was very very hard. The screen use the Unicode half-block character “▀”, to write to the screen you just need to send value like this : LDA #$02 ; load "02" into the accumulator STA $0200 ; store it at memory address $0200 (the 1st pixel) Here the 02 is the color RED. Here is the color palette: fn palette_color ( index : u8 ) -> Color { match index & 0x0F { 0 => Color :: Black , 1 => Color :: White , 2 => Color :: Red , 3 => Color :: Cyan , 4 => Color :: Magenta , 5 => Color :: Green , 6 => Color :: Blue , 7 => Color :: Yellow , 8 => Color :: Rgb ( 255 , 165 , 0 ), // Orange 9 => Color :: Rgb ( 153 , 76 , 0 ), // Brown 10 => Color :: DarkGray , 11 => Color :: Gray , 12 => Color :: LightRed , 13 => Color :: LightBlue , 14 => Color :: LightGreen , _ => Color :: Reset , // 15 transparent } } The color may vary between terminal theme. I also had created an ASM program to print a rainbow on the 1st quarter of the screen. I also added the feature that when a BRK instruction is hit the program turn to HALT mode (in the UI). I also added the indentation system to BEQ, BNE, BCC, BCS, BMI, BPL, BVC, BVS. I also added a new way of calculating the speed of the program.
Now the name of the file currently running is in the title. I also finished the rainbow program to fill the whole screen.
New panel 🥁🥁🥁…. the ✨ SETTINGS ✨ ! In this panel there is a smaller version of the Logo and the settings to modify the speed of the CPU. There is also the link to the github repo and stardance project
I have update the color from word to RGB value so if a different terminal theme is applied the color are the same. I also added a footer bar with the keybinds.
Now if I press R I can reset the program. I also modify the footer bar
New demo program… HelloWorld_demo ! Print Hello World ! centered on the screen all in pure 6502 Assembly. I also modified the way the disassembler work, now even if there is a BRK it will continue to read the file until the end. The ASM part was really really haaarrddd.
Wow that was damn hard 😭. But the Home Menu is finally here 🎉. There is the logo (might change). The select file container with full navigation (folder, parent directory, file), Icon (require a Nerd Font) and Colors. The selected file path update in real time with the absolute path of the file. The start address automatically change if the file selected is a demo file (end with “_demo.bin”) to $C000. The start address it editable with Alpha numeric character (hexadecimal). And the emulation speed work ! There is control on the footer bar.
WOW already 30 hours ?! 😅 I now have added the home logo ! I also changed the step for the speed selection on Home Menu from 500 to 100 for each step
Little bug fix: Now when we select a file in the Home File Selector the filename appear in the Opcode container. I have also reorganize the tui.rs code !
WOW 4h 😅 I have done the full README.md, documentation about the screen, color palette and fix some little bugs.
WOW 35H 🎉 I have added a file : DemoProgram.md to show all the demo program
I have added a new program called HackClub Logo First, I have draw the hackclub logo in aseprite with a 32x32 pixel file using my custom color palette. Second, I have created a simple python script who take a .png in input and output ASM raw data for the image (using my color palette). Third, I have create a simple ASM program to print the logo on the screen !
I have been writing a LOT of documentation on how to create a 6502 ASM program, Screen documentation. And the project is now published in version 1.0.0 on Github and Cargo https://github.com/wirenux/Rust-6502 https://crates.io/crates/rust6502
Last devlogs before Ship #1 Wow 37h of work. I have made an Asciinema video, Youtube video and update the README.md Wish me luck !
Ok so… it’s been 8h40 . I have done a lot (I mean it’s logic it’s been 8h and 40 minutes) In time order I have done : Replace self.pc + 1 to self.pc.wrapping_add(1) so it’s like on the real 6502 if the current PC is $FFFF and you add 1 it will be $0000 . Added a panic hook, before when the program was crashing (for a bad ASM program by example) the terminal was still in RAW mode (so if you click, move the mouse etc… it will print a bunch of garbage number) but now it exit the raw mode in a clean way ! Remove unused import Change the start of the Stack Pointer to $1FFF Added a memory reset function Write a bunch of test programs Replace IPS (instruction per seconds) by Hz and MHz like in real life (so i’ve adapted the UI for the change) Now the disassembler disassemble the whole program (neat right ? ) using .len() . (yes before it was an hard-coded number Optimize the screen render method. Before I was refreshing the screen even if nothings has been changed, now i check if somethings have been changed to update the screen Added address of each “quarter” of the screen in the screen documentation Fixed foreground and background color of the Frequency selector (on the Home Screen) Write a program to test IRQ and NMI Keybinds the I and N key to IRQ and NMI Changed the Hello World program to be rainbow The emulator will look by it self to the reset vector ( $FFFC and $FFFD ) to set the PC at the correct address Added a force address toggle to… force the the start address When the force addr toggle is off you can’t modify the start Addr and it’s darker Every file or folder who start by a . (dot) is not shown in the file selector Moved the hackclub logo raw binary data to a .inc file Added a self crashing test program (Next time I might add a PS/2 keyboard emulation… )
YAY ! Now there is mouse control on the home screen, this mean that you can click every where to change the focus and in the file explorer you can double-click to open a folder and double-click to open a file directly, you can also with a simple click enable or disable Force Address Mode
Wow that was… difficult . But now there is a PS/2 keyboard Emulation ! The I/O port is map on $BFF0-$BBF2. The PS/2 keyboard work with 3 addresses $BFF0 : KBD_DATA $BFF1 : KBD_STATUS $BFF2 : KBD_ACK To activate to keyboard in the emulator you can press on the screen container and to exit it just click anywhere else ! (The number you can see in the memory viewer at $0000 is the code from different key !) Maybe next time I will create a program to see each letter
I want to create a ASM program who print the pressed key to the screen, and for that I need to create the font/image for each key. There is ~100 key . So here is the first one !
Now there is all the number & lower case letter (a-z) & and the Space bar icon !
Okay soo….. it’s been 4 hours and 35 minutes . I have done so much and not that much at the same time (I know it’s weird ) I have added a demo program who print the pressed character ! I have spend 2 hours on a little bug but yeah now it’s working ! So with the program I drew all the key on a PS/2 keyboard . I also fixed some little inattention problem in my code. I also created a little python script to help me convert .png drawing into raw .inc value ! ( Did you find the secret phrase ?)
Wow, just WOW. I have added a serial monitor, and Apple 1 OS Serial Monitor Here is the way the monitor work, you load character to $BFE0 like this : lda #'A' sta $BFE0 Then you run the program in the emulator like normal, then you open another terminal and you connect to localhost port 8080 using netcat nc like this : nc 127.0.0.1 8080 And now if you already launch the program, when you connect to localhost ( 127.0.0.1 is localhost) you will see a A in your terminal ! You can also type in the serial monitor ! Here is a code that show the number of characters typed by using the pixels in the 32x32 screen ! start: ldx #$FF txs ldx #$00 main_loop: bit $BFE1 bpl main_loop lda $BFE0 sta $BFE0 lda #WHITE_COLOR sta $0200, x inx jmp main_loop Apple 1 This is a very damn big part. To be short, I have recreated the Apple 1 OS (Wozmon) created by Steve Wozniak. In short I took the code given in the Apple 1 User Manual, modify it to use the Serial Monitor and Keyboard, fix some issue with the prompt. I can even run the classic program from the manual to print all the available characters. With Wozmon you can also write and read data from the memory so you can show some pixel on the screen ! Here is the program running and the serial monitor.
After 1h50 I have added a Snake demo program that use the PS/2 keyboard !!! I also make a demo program to test the Serial Monitor using netcat nc
Little update, I added a Program Counter (PC) input to move it in when running a program. I also added a cursor for the start input on the Home Screen !
Little update ! I have added tips in the settings menu. The change randomly using the UNIX Epoch value
New little update ! I have created a Python tools to create memory map for my emulator docs !
Here is what I have done in 2h 50 . First I wrote a lot of docs, for the keyboard, Serial Monitor, Wozmon etc… This was so boring . But at least now I will be ready to ship soon ! Second, I have fixed the Wozmon list content of address. Before when you was doing FF00.FFFF it was just showing the byte at $FF00 and the byte at $FFFF now it list all the byte between !
YAY Now rust6502 Version 1.1.0 is released ! On github with all the demo file and on crates.io / cargo !
v1.2.0 Here are the changes attached to this release : fix: a bug on windows, with ghost key press ( c3c6009 ) add: a Scroll bar on the file explorer ( 94b2abb )
I added the step-back function. It work by pressing “B”, it’s just rewinding the emulator up to 500 opcode. Only work when moving in step-by-step mode (with Enter)
Okay so… I have added the Breakpoint and the Watchpoint . When you set the breakpoint to $C00C the CPU will stop before running the instruction at $C00C. The watchpoint stop if a value at an address at been changed.
+1h 25 min ! Since the last time I have added the keybind panel. Where there is… all the keybinds I also remove the keybind on the footer to only get Keybind “K”
+ 1h35 ! This might be the last feature I add to Rust 6502. Since I ran out of idea and for me the project seem to be finished. Anyway, here are the things I added : A RNG address : $BFF3 . The program just read from it and get a random value via the Host computer ( 4feb4d8 ) A conditional breakpoint : A top bar in the Breakpoint popup to add a conditional breakpoint (like : If AC != 0F -> Break) ( 1b7bc81 )
+ 1h20 So… this might be the last devlog for this project. I just released the v1.3.0 . And here is what I added since the last devlog : A RNG documentation Snake now use a real RNG I recorded the Asciinema .cast file Update the python tools to generate memory diagrams Update the Memory documentation So next step is the 3rd Ship
Ships:
=== Rust 6502 === A legendary 8-bit CPU right in your terminal! 🦀 ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ == What did you make ? == I built a fully functional emulator for the MOS 6502 (the microprocessor that powered the Apple II, Commodre 64, and the NES) from scratch using Rust ! Instead of a standard graphical window, I built a Terminal User Interface (TUI) using Ratatui. Here is what’s inside: Full CPU Emulation: Execute 6502 machine code with live register (AC, XR, YR, SP) and status flag tracking Virtual Screen: A 32x32 memory-mapped display ($0200-$05FF) rendered right in the terminal using Unicode Half-Block and a custom 16-color palette Live Disassembler & Hex Viewer: Watch the RAM change in real-time and see the raw binary machine code translated back into readable assembly instructions on the fly Built-in File Browser: A visual menu with Nerd Font icons to navigate your system and load compiled .bin ROMs Available on crates.io : You can download it via Cargo == What was challenging ? == The Disassembler: Writing a disassembler that parses raw .bin files is tricky because they don’t have headers. I ran into a massive issue where my image data (using the color byte $0A) was being read by the disassembler as infinite ASL A (Shift Left) instructions! I had to engineer a way for the disassembler to properly halt when it hit a BRK instruction so it wouldn’t try to execute my pixel art. Terminal UI Architecture: Designing a dashboard (hex grids, scrolling stacks, changing colors) required a really solid state-management architecture to keep the UI smooth and responsive while the CPU loop spins at thousands of instructions per second. == What are you proud of ? == I am proud of using this project to learn Rust in a fun way! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I’m also really proud that it’s officially published on crates.io, meaning anyone can install and run my emulator with a single command == What should people know so they can test your project ? == Note: A Nerd Font is recommended in your terminal emulator for a proper rendering of the UI icons on the Home page How to test: Install the emulator directly from crates.io by running: cargo install rust6502 Download all the .bin files on the GitHub Releases page. Launch the emulator by running rust6502 and use the built-in Home menu to select one of the demo .bin files! == Things to try == Load hackclub_logo_demo.bin to see the terminal render a 32x32 pixel art logo using 6502 assembly Load rainbow_demo.bin to watch a shifting color gradient animation directly manipulating video memory. Load helloworld_demo.bin to watch a centered Hello world message The Debugger: go to the Settings menu inside the TUI and slow down the CPU speed. Then watch the Memory Viewer and Disassembler track exactly what the code is doing in real-time!
=== Rust 6502 === A MOS 6502 emulator TUI with a lot of features ============================================ Before reading this Ship you should take a look at Ship #1 == What did you add ? == Here is a list of everything that I have added since the last Ship = Features = Serial Monitor : you connect to localhost:8080 using netcat. Useful for the Apple 1 OS or for debugging with text. The monitor can be used to display text but also to send text like a keyboard (useful for the Apple 1 OS) PS/2 Keyboard : a full PS/2 keyboard emulation (used in Snake) Use the UI with a Mouse: On the Home Menu and in the Emulator you can click on button, toggle, scroll, etc… Interrupt : IRQ & NMI Tips in the Settings Panel Modify speed with Hz & MHz (like a real 6502 chip) Reset Vector: The emulator will look at $FFFC & $FFFD to find the start address of the program (when the Force Address toggle is off) Set PC Address: keyboard shortcut to change the position of the PC (Program Counter) = Demo Program = Apple 1 OS (Wozmon) : I have modified the orginal Apple 1 code to fit my emulator, like Serial Monitor address, Keyboard etc… Snake : Just the Snake game ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ Keyboard Demo: Print every key press on the screen using a custom font Serial Monitor Demo: Show how the Serial Monitor works == What was challenging ? == The most challenging part of this 2nd ship was creating a Serial Monitor that works via a local port, and making a PS/2 Keyboard emulation. And of course, modifying the Apple 1 OS to make it work on this emulator ! (I was having a lot of bugs, so I rewrite a big part of the OS) ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ == What are you proud of ? == I am really proud of my self for the implementation of the Serial monitor that run on different CPU thread than the emulator itself and the fact that it work via the local network. And beyond everything the fact that my emulator can run : games, utility and the Apple 1 OS !!! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I’m also really proud that it’s officially published on crates.io. == What should people know so they can test your project ? == Note: A Nerd Font is recommended in your terminal emulator for a proper rendering of the UI icons on the Home page How to test: Install the emulator directly from crates.io by running: ================== cargo install rust6502 Download all the .bin files on the GitHub Releases page. Launch the emulator by running rust6502 and use the built-in Home menu to select one of the demo .bin files! == Things to try == Load snake_demo.bin to play at a classic game using the 32x32 screen and the PS/2 keyboard emulation Load wozmon.bin to use the Apple 1 OS ! You should see the documentation related to Wozmon : https://github.com/wirenux/Rust-6502/blob/main/AppleI.md Load keyboard_demo.bin to see every key you press show up on the 32x32 screen using a custom font The Debugger: go to the Settings menu inside the TUI and slow down the CPU speed. Then watch the Memory Viewer and Disassembler track exactly what the code is doing in real-time!
Rust 6502 A MOS 6502 emulator TUI with a lot of features Before reading this Ship you should take a look at Ship 1 & Ship 2 What did you add ? Here is a list of everything that I have added since the last Ship Features Breakpoints : press “F” to set a breakpoint at any address, the emulator halts the moment PC reaches it Watchpoints : same idea, but for memory Conditional Breakpoints : halt execution when a register (AC, XR, YR, SP) meets a comparison (!=, ==, >=, <=, >, <) against a target value Step Back : press “B” to rewind execution one instruction at a time, restoring the CPU and memory exactly as they were before Random Number Generator : a memory-mapped register at $BFF3 that returns a random byte from the host PC on every read, so ASM programs can have real random number Keybind Panel : a popup listing every keyboard shortcut and control, and removed the old footer keybind list to make room for it Demo Program Snake : updated to pull apple placement from the new RNG instead of the old pseudo random method ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ What was challenging ? Wiring the conditional breakpoint into the run loop without breaking the existing breakpoint/watchpoint checks was harder than I though. Also getting a dropdown-style menu to choose the operator working in Ratatui was tought since there’s no native dropdown widget. So I ended up building a little spinner (▲ value ▼) that cycles through the operators instead ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ What are you proud of ? I’m proud that my emulator now has real debugging tools like : breakpoints, watchpoints, conditional breakpoints, and step-back. What should people know so they can test your project ? A Nerd Font is recommended in your terminal for a better rendering of the UI icons on the Home page How to test: Install the emulator directly from crates.io by running: cargo install rust6502 Download all the .bin files on the GitHub Releases page. Launch the emulator by running rust6502 and use the built-in Home menu to select one of the demo .bin files! Things to try Load snake_demo.bin and play :D Set a breakpoint on an address inside a demo program (check the keybind panel for the shortcut!) and watch execution halt exactly there Try a conditional breakpoint : for example, halt whenever XR == 0F and watch it stop right when the register hits that value Press “B” to step backward and rewind the CPU state instruction by instruction Press the keybind panel shortcut to see the full list of controls...

Title: Planet Viewer 3D by @colgation | Stardance
Title: Planet Viewer 3D by @colgation | Stardance
Devlogs:
Started up the Github page! API errors, but I will try to fix that…
Here is the beginning of my website, which will have the 8 planets in a 3d rotatable format.
Made a next button with slight help of w3schools, which reacts to clicks and mouse hovering.
All planets have been added! I used a smart system that imports a png rectangle texture and wraps it around a colorless sphere.
Created a catalog viewer that displays all planets nicely. I separated the website into two pages: catalog and 3d Viewer. Alongside that, I am planning to expand beyond our solar system and add more planets!
Lots of attempts at trying to render the planet in the center of the screen. I first tried making the back button margin top larger, but it didn’t work, as the three.js ignores this. I ended up changing the camera position in order to move the planet up, without breaking the system of being able to rotate the planet with your mouse.
Added a description and information (all hand typed and researched) for Mercury and Venus. Hoping to get the rest done within a hour. (Probably will end up using AI to help me write out the stats, so I can work on bigger features)
Lots of UI cleanup and now planning to expand into other Planetary Systems. Possibly will add stars/asteroids. A key change for the catalog “menu” was to remove the card like background, making the UI much cleaner.
With some help, I was able to create the outline for the System selection. It uses basic css and manual placing to create the tree, though I might replace it.
Added images in place of generic text, removed background to match the style of catalog. I am planning on using these systems as a starting point and add more later.
Got the images for all the Trappist 1 planets. I am planning on adding the Alpha Centauri system soon, once I fix the params system.
Added info and 3d rendering of each planet, cleaned up href links with document even listeners. Planning on polishing css and shipping! In terms of the Alpha Centauri System, I have only included Proxima Centauri b as a test, but the other two planets are candidates and not confirmed yet, thus they will nto be added yet to the final project.
Final log before ship: added Desktop and mobile support, alongside final fixes and reviews. I made a good readme, and plan on shipping very soon. Below is a snapshot from accessing the site on desktop
Added a new system and managed to fix the seams in the nebula. I took in the feedback from the previous ship and hope to use it as a springboard into further polishing and developing my project.
Added two more systems, expect planet textures in the next devlog. Tau Ceti and 55 Cancri were chosen because of either their iconic portrayal in movies or high likelihood of confirmed planets. I enjoyed getting to finally just add more content to the site.
Added over 7 new textures, for two whole systems. I will now enter some information for each one. My next move will be further cleaning UI. It was a pain to source rectangle sheets for these planets, as real photographs do not exist yet for many exoplanets. It took me some time to decide on an impression that I found reasonable and enjoyed.
Huge CSS upgrade for the index.html, I had an original idea of a tree, however it came out like this: (a timeline/distance measuring like line) I accidentally moved the cards above the line, which ended up looking even better, so I kind of improved it unintentionally like the time a person accidentally invented chocolate chip cookies.
Added a button to remove info, in order to increase UX for mobile/small screen users. I also added a constellation background. Shipping soon! In JS, the main thing I tried to do was a smooth transition. On top of other complications, hiding and showing the box started to break its location, so I had to learn a bit more about flex boxes.
Finished the dedicated help panel. What was really hard was getting the parameters with js including all the planet, solar system and etc. I ended up having to bulk up the code on each page in order to do this, but it turned out great.
Ships:
I made a 3d Planet displaying website, that shows realistic interactive models of the 8 planets using three js. It it fully deployed on github pages, and has clean minimalistic UI and a next button with JS that reacts to the mouse clicking and hovering above it.
I made a 3d planet viewer fully equipped with 3 differnet planetary systems that runs on browser! It uses parameters in the the link to pass variables across pages, and has a nebula background that rotates alongside the camera. Planets can be zoomed in on and rotated. Alongside this, each individual planet has a description of itself and some statistics. I hope all of you learn something useful from this project and are amazed by the 3d models! -Colgation
I made a 3D Planet Viewer that features 5 whole unqiue planetary systems fully rendered in 3d planet by planet, with a nebula 3d background. Every single planet has a arduously made information panel, and a help section can be found on the bottom right of each page. Additionally, I experimented with CSS animations as well as a randomly generating constellation home screen!...

I tought that making the darkmode switch would be really hard, but when I focused it was really easy and rewarding process!

I don’t understand js that much yet, so I had also watched few tutorials. The webOS 1 tutorial was really hard for me, so now I’m really happy when the things I wanted to add to my website turns out well! So I’m also really proud of the images slider in the Artemis App, the spotify playlist embedded and the dark/light mode switcher in the settings!

In the ISS window you can find short youtube video - it’s about Polish astronaut, Sławosz Uznański, eating pierogi (delicious polish dish) on the ISS! I really recommend watching this The apps were the biggest challange for me. That’s why I had spent so many hours on this project. Firts, I couldn’t even open the first app. It was hard to even make the selected function work. Then, I managed to make this one app working! But, it wasn’t the right solution. When I added new apps, they were opening the 1st app window, and not theirs. I spent a lot hours trying to fix it, I tried a lot of possible solutions and finally, I had asked ai for help. That’s the only ai usage in this project. Eventually, everything works! I’m so happy because I’ve almost gave up. I really like the outcome, and I look forward for the future changes! I came up with a lot of ideas and I realised them the exact way I wanted! My favourite parts are def the Sławosz eating pierogi video and the photo ranking which I find so fun to watch and rate.

Your opinion Before we begin, I’d like to know your opinion about the images layout. The 3 first screenshoots below shows different layouts. Screenshoot 1 : This is the first version I coded. But it covers the close button and most importantly - the scroll bar which is so unpractical Screenshoot 2 : this is how I had imagined it when this idea came to my mind. It also covers the close button and the scroll Screenshoot 3 : last version I’ve coded. I did not planned this layout but I think it looks great and is the most practical! Unfortunately the 3rd option covers the move button but by adding some z-index everything works well, and looks better than when adding z-index to the scroll bar bc the rocket/astronaut is either covered by the scroll or too far away. Please let me know what you think! Challange 1 Adjusting these images was such a challange. But I wrote it all down from memory! I added the position: fixed so it can exceed the window and adjusted the position several times! The biggest problem, as I said, was that they were covering the scroll bar and close button and then the move button as well. But I found the solution! I added the appropriate z-index to each of the elements and it worked!! (I’m really surprised tbh it was so easy and didn’t took me that long to figure out! I’m getting good at coding ) So finally, what’s new? I added the Artemis Mission App !! It’s not an app just about the artemis II. It’s an app where you can learn about the whole mission, the SLS rocket, the Orion capsule and get to know some fun-facts! Doing the research on all of these thing took me sooo much time! And then writing it down, deciding what is worth the attention and so on… it was kinda exhausting! But I’m so happy with the (not yet) final results! Yeah, not yet meaning… Challange 2 On the last screenshoot you can see the biggest mess on this app! Few photos totally without rhyme or reason! I was coding with image slider tutorial. Everything was going smoothly, till the creator of the tutorial said that now we shall see our photo aaaand yup I did not see anything. I was checking several times if I writed down everything the right way, I was looking for solution and eventually I created new repository and copied the whole code which he pasted in the comments (just to clarify - in this project I do NOT copied any code, I writed everything by myself). In this repository everything worked. When I saw the final results in the repository I had also noticed that it’s not really what I wanted to have in the Artemis App. Bc the code did not worked (probably because it already was in several divs and not like raw or sth) and bc it didn’t align with my vision I decided to just delete this whole code. I’ve already found another tutorial, with better design so I will keep you updated on how it’ll turn out! What’s next?

AND MANY MORE PROBLEMS. Let’s start from the problems… If you tought that in the second devlog I’ve finally managed to make working apps - you are so wrong. Barely 2 hours later I realised, that the (window) part was not a problem. Turned out, that when I changed this to the id of my app window, next apps opened the 1st app window, and not theirs window. I’ve been searching for solutions for HOURSS! Eventually I had asked ai for help. I had described my problem really pricesely. It found the problem! In this function function handleIconTap(element) I was supposed to write (element, window) … Fortunately, now it fully works!! I’m so happy because this was sooo frustrating. New apps! So, I’ve made two new apps! One similar to James Webb Space Telescope App, and one for notes and ideas. Let me introduce you toooo: Hubble Space Telescope App! - As I said, this one is similar to JWSTApp but it’s around Hubble! You can rate photos, learn some facts about it and just admire another amazing spaceship. NASCApp also known as Spacecraft Ideas. So from where is the abbreviation “NASCApp”??? Well, previously it was named “Notes About Spacecrafts”, but I decided that it’s so boring. Spacecraft Ideas is not really mind blowing name but it’s way better. I also had few problems with this app but after longer reflections, I decided to keep it simple. You can see these apps on screenshoots below. Starlink Catch Guide and Minor Changes I finished writing about starlink satellites in the Starlink Catch Guide window and added some minor changes to every window on my webOS after reading them all again. It was such a long process, but I like how it all looks together now. POLAND IN SPAAAAAACE AND PIEROGI! I added youtube video to the ISS Catch Guide window about Polish astronaut - Sławosz Uznański, eating delicious polish pierogi, on the ISS! I think that this is the most important part of my webOS. POLSKA GUROM!! (You can watch Sławosz eating pierogi on the ISS here ) What’s next? I’m going to read it all again, write README, complete project info and finally, SHIP!!

I did itttt!! Devlog #2 - Apps Hi!!! I’m so glad to announce that my apps are finally working! There’re still few problems though. But let’s start from the outset: James Webb Space Telescope App This app provides few basic information and interesting facts about JWST. I had also added some photos which you can rate from 1 to 5 stars! You can see the app in the screenshots below. Problems As you can see, there’s so much space on the right from the images you can rate. I’m considering a lot of options, one of them is to just make two/three photos in one row, what do you think?

Upcoming changes Next I’m going to add few more apps. Can’t wait! Thanks for reading this devlog. Hope you’ll have and amazing day!!
AYYYY FINAL DEVLOG! Devlog #3 - more apps and final changes Guys I can’t believe I did this!! (It’s such an achievement for me okay ) Let’s break all the changes I’ve made to some points: ( if you don’t want to read it all please skip to the last point because it’s about Poland in space and I love Poland and Space ) APPS! AND MANY MORE PROBLEMS. Let’s start from the problems… If you tought that in the second devlog I’ve finally managed to make working apps - you are so wrong. Barely 2 hours later I realised, that the (window) part was not a problem. Turned out, that when I changed this to the id of my app window, next apps opened the 1st app window, and not theirs window. I’ve been searching for solutions for HOURSS! Eventually I had asked ai for help. I had described my problem really pricesely. It found the problem! In this function function handleIconTap(element) I was supposed to write (element, window) … Fortunately, now it fully works!! I’m so happy because this was sooo frustrating. New apps! So, I’ve made two new apps! One similar to James Webb Space Telescope App, and one for notes and ideas. Let me introduce you toooo: Hubble Space Telescope App! - As I said, this one is similar to JWSTApp but it’s around Hubble! You can rate photos, learn some facts about it and just admire another amazing spaceship. NASCApp also known as Spacecraft Ideas. So from where is the abbreviation “NASCApp”??? Well, previously it was named “Notes About Spacecrafts”, but I decided that it’s so boring. Spacecraft Ideas is not really mind blowing name but it’s way better. I also had few problems with this app but after longer reflections, I decided to keep it simple. You can see these apps on screenshoots below. Starlink Catch Guide and Minor Changes I finished writing about starlink satellites in the Starlink Catch Guide window and added some minor changes to every window on my webOS after reading them all again. It was such a long process, but I like how it all looks together now. POLAND IN SPAAAAAACE AND PIEROGI! I added youtube video to the ISS Catch Guide window about Polish astronaut - Sławosz Uznański, eating delicious polish pierogi, on the ISS! I think that this is the most important part of my webOS. POLSKA GUROM!! (You can watch Sławosz eating pierogi on the ISS here ) What’s next? I’m going to read it all again, write README, complete project info and finally, SHIP!! Don’t worry it’s not the end of the journey because I started to like coding so much and I want to continue with webOS 2! Thank’s for being with me and have a nice day!
Such a messs!! Devlog #4 - Artemis App! Your opinion Before we begin, I’d like to know your opinion about the images layout. The 3 first screenshoots below shows different layouts. Screenshoot 1 : This is the first version I coded. But it covers the close button and most importantly - the scroll bar which is so unpractical Screenshoot 2 : this is how I had imagined it when this idea came to my mind. It also covers the close button and the scroll Screenshoot 3 : last version I’ve coded. I did not planned this layout but I think it looks great and is the most practical! Unfortunately the 3rd option covers the move button but by adding some z-index everything works well, and looks better than when adding z-index to the scroll bar bc the rocket/astronaut is either covered by the scroll or too far away. Please let me know what you think! Challange 1 Adjusting these images was such a challange. But I wrote it all down from memory! I added the position: fixed so it can exceed the window and adjusted the position several times! The biggest problem, as I said, was that they were covering the scroll bar and close button and then the move button as well. But I found the solution! I added the appropriate z-index to each of the elements and it worked!! (I’m really surprised tbh it was so easy and didn’t took me that long to figure out! I’m getting good at coding ) So finally, what’s new? I added the Artemis Mission App !! It’s not an app just about the artemis II. It’s an app where you can learn about the whole mission, the SLS rocket, the Orion capsule and get to know some fun-facts! Doing the research on all of these thing took me sooo much time! And then writing it down, deciding what is worth the attention and so on… it was kinda exhausting! But I’m so happy with the (not yet) final results! Yeah, not yet meaning… Challange 2 On the last screenshoot you can see the biggest mess on this app! Few photos totally without rhyme or reason! I was coding with image slider tutorial. Everything was going smoothly, till the creator of the tutorial said that now we shall see our photo aaaand yup I did not see anything. I was checking several times if I writed down everything the right way, I was looking for solution and eventually I created new repository and copied the whole code which he pasted in the comments (just to clarify - in this project I do NOT copied any code, I writed everything by myself). In this repository everything worked. When I saw the final results in the repository I had also noticed that it’s not really what I wanted to have in the Artemis App. Bc the code did not worked (probably because it already was in several divs and not like raw or sth) and bc it didn’t align with my vision I decided to just delete this whole code. I’ve already found another tutorial, with better design so I will keep you updated on how it’ll turn out! What’s next? Fixing the mess and finishing the app New app (it’s going to be music app linked to the Artemis II mission!) Thanks for reading and stay tuned!!
My website is all around Artemis now! Devlog #5 - two new apps fully finished! I finished the image slider I’ve been writing about in the previous devlog and added new app! I tought it will take me so much longer, but here I am! But let’s start from the outset: Finished Artemis Mission App I’ve finally finished it! In my previous devlog I said that I found another tutorial on how to make image slider, and it was a bullseye!! After I adjusted it a little so it fits my images it’s working perfectly!! And looking so so good! I’m so happy!! New app - Artemis II Playlist So, I really wanted to implement some music into my website. But because it’s a SPACECRAFT operating system I knew it cannot be just basic music app. While working on the Artemis App I came up with this amazing idea - I’m pretty sure that you heard about the wake up songs from Artemis II Mission. I decided to do an app with that playlist! Since it’s just embeeding the code from spotify it wasn’t such a big problem. I think that the hardest thing here was to make the app icon, which is the moon listening to music on headphones!! I really like this idea, let me know what you think about it What’s next? I want to add some images on the borders like in the Artemis App. And then another app!! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
Darkmode!! Devlog 6 - dark mode and more photos on the borders What’s new? Darkmode and settings I’m so happpyyyy I’ve managed today to create new very cool app - settings - where you can switch between lightmode and darkmode! At the beginning I tought that it would be a nightmaree but turns out, when I really focused, it was a smooth process and I really enjoyed it! But one thing is not working.. not so important but when I’m adding this app to the rising on top function everything crashes and I can’t open any app. I’ll try to fix it later. There ofcourse will be more functions soon in this app so stay tuned! More images on borders I added more photos on the borders! ISS NASA astronaut working on Hubble The Golden Record spinning on the Artemis II playlist app (I think it’s a really cool idea) Adjusting the astronaut was really hard, and the background did not removed well but I’ve managed to add some blur and eventually it looks okayy I’ve also changed the position of Artemis astronaut - I wanted to put it on the left but unfortunatelly, it cannot be here because then it covers the scroll bar. Adjusting the rotation helped a little and it looks way better! What’s next? I think I’m gonna ship soon! I’ve already writed the README and I just need to check everything. But don’t worry, it’s not the end of SpacecraftOS! I already have a lot of ideas
One more devlog! Devlog 7 - title and start animation I wanted to ship already but lo and behold, I’ve added some changes! So, what’s new? I finally designed the header of my site! now it says SpacecraftOS and displays a rocket icon! Updated Artemis App - I’ve added some information about Artemis IV and V WELCOMING ANIMATIONNN!!!!!! - I’m very happy because I’ve managed to add a start animation, like welcoming screen or sth like this, idk how is it called, but now, when you enter my page, you can see an animation with my baner! It’s in the video below What’s next? I’ve also finished writing the README so now I will just read everything top to bottom again and SHIP!!!
15 min can’t be lost! Devlog 8 - fixed all typos and changed the start text So, what I changed in these 15 min? I changed all the typos in artemis app FORTUNATELY I checked the start window, and changed the description because it was really outdated! And therefore, I needed to change the image in my readme. I also adjusted it to width: 100%; height: auto because when I opened readme on my phone it was really stretched! Below I leave a screenshoot of the app I’ve been adjusting, with the artemis II crew because they’ve been my motivation through this whole process! I can’t wait to work more on SpacecraftOS!! Wish me luck on shipping ^^
New app!! Devlog #9 Voyager Photos App Guys I finished rating other projects and I have to admit that my devlogs are way too long So today let’s keep it brief: Voyager Photos App!!! I’m gonna create another app just about voyager, but this is some sort of gallery of (only) 11 photos from these spacecrafts. I made cool infinite images slider with tutorial - it went really smoothly, and then I’ve been trying to make an information window appear when you place your cursor on the “?”. I don’t feel so comfortable in js yet but I wanted to do it all by myself so I went with css, and I really like the final results! You can see it in the video below What’s next? Full Voyager App, I hope! See you in the next one, thanks for reading!!
new app and new ideas! Devlog 10 - Full Voyager App Full Voyager App I finished coding new app!! It’s about Voyager mission, so basically Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Research took me so long again!! But I’m happy with the results New idea So since I started this project I’ve been thinking about how do I arrange the blank space next to the rating images. Today, I added a brief text that’s describing the photo. Just a little, but now you’ll know what the images shows! You can see it on the 1st screenshoot below. Both screenshots are from the new app What’s next? I would love to make new function in the settings so you can change the background photo!! Wish me luck Thanks for reading and have a nice day!!
More colors!!! Devlog #11 - 3 new themes!! I made new themes!!!!!!! I’m so happy to introduce you to my 3 colorful themes: Moon Theme - “Earth set” photo from Artemis II mission, blue-colored Aurora Theme - Earth’s Aurora seen from the ISS, green-colored Sunset Theme - “Cotton Candy Skies”, Falcon 9 rocket, pink-colored No gatekeeping, I’ve been searching for tutorial like this for so long so here’s the link for the tutorial . Hope it will be helpful! I need a feedback!! I’m not sure about the colors tho, please let me know know if everything is readable and if you perhaps would change anything Thanks for reading, hope you like it!
Time-consuming animation and problemss Devlog 12 - Opportunity App and animation Problems!!! I messed up positions! 😭😭 I was adjusting this rover so it’s driving perfectly around the Mars for hourss and then I decided to check it with the scroll bar, and bc the rover had position: absolute it went down with the scroll bar idk how to describe it, like, he flew out of mars lol Solutions!!! I’ve watched quick guide on youtube about positions and finally understood everything, because before I was just kindaaa guessing lolll now, having the knowledge, I wrapped my animation into <div style="position: relative; border: pink [...]"> , added position: absolute to my images and adjusted everything completely from scratch!! It took me so long but I think it was worth it bc it looks nice and is something different from the usual. One more change I added border photo to Voyager App. Adjusting also took me a while but the window is way more interesting now! What’s next? Finishing Opportunity App!! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!!
Feedback and roverS Devlog 13 - Spirit and Opportunity App Feedback So, my project went through ratings: unfortunately, I only got 9.79 multiplier, but I also got an amazing and really valuable feedback!! People pointed out my messy repository, and indeed, it needed to be changed. I created new folders, and now it’s clear and organised! RoverS app? While researching, I noticed that Spirit also deserves to be mentioned! Because it’s the same mission, I decided to add Spirit to Opportunity app, and therefore it’s Rovers/Spirit&Opportunity app now! What’s next? I’m going to focus on improving my app and implementing the advices I received in feedback. I also have a lot of new ideas, so stay tuned!
I code my function!! Devlog 14 - animation and design Function I’m sooooooooo happy because yesterday I’ve managed to create my own function!!! someone suggested to make other tab switching. I was looking for some tutorial, but couldn’t find anything so I asked ai what can I search in youtube to find it. For better or worse, the AI gave me a little guidance on how it works (so I’d understand it in the tutorial, NO code ), I didn’t even fully read this because when I noticed “animation” and “adding classes” I noticed, what I can do! Few days ago I mentioned the theme switch tutorial, that helped me with understanding js!! With this knowledge and the pattern I already had from webOS tutorial, I managed to create opening app window animation!! Additional apps I also added left bar for the additional apps (/apps that are not about spacecrafts). For now just the background, but when I will finish every app I will also add some better animations and just style it better Problem At the very end of the video, you can notice such a huge problem with opening windows and theirs z-index. They open randomly, once under particular app once above, trying to catch this video when it’s smooth and they all go on top was really hard!! Please let me know if you know how to fix it And I had also tried to make my windows resizeable but it unfortunally didn’t worked. I will get back to this later What’s next? To perfect it all and fix bugs! And then maybe some games? Thanks for reading and have a nice day!!!
Such a challange! Devlog 15 - snake game Snake game? Yeah I’m surprised too. But I really wanted to see how it works and just code sth like this (with tutorial ofc). I wanted to make it a little later but I had time today and decided - why not? Okay but, 6 hours?!??!?!?!?!? Yeah 😭 in short, I started with tutorial 1, but it didn’t worked, so I deleted everything and switched to another tutorial, where I realised that I just haven’t connected my snake.js to html lolll but anyways, I even liked tutorial 2 more, I feel like it gave me more styling options, but I needed to quit it because to restart you needed to refresh the site. I tried to just implement some functions, change some things but I’m not that skilled to do this yet. I deleted everything again and came back to tutorial 1 which I eventually completed! That’s not the final results I really want to make the snake head a rocket thats collecting fuel, but there are some problems!! Obviously lol, so I have something like this const snakeColor = "pink"; and I tried to change pink to class, to var but it didn’t worked, and I really don’t know how can I style this snake further, so I can add the rocket and fuels and many other things. That’s why I liked tutorial 2 more! What’s next? I will try to style the snake and this whole window basically!! The video below is in 2x speed!
Random decision (but it was worth it) Devlog #16 - Radio buttons and styles What’s new? Radio buttons In my feedback someone suggested to add radio buttons instead of checkboxes bc then you can just choose one - and today I did it! I also styled it and added cool animation!! Each theme have different stars colors as well - you can check it in the video below. Highscore Somehow, I also added highscore to my snake game! I took a bit of information from tutorial 1 a bit from tutorial 2 and it’s working! Maybe not perfectly, but when you restart, new highscore will be visible, and it’s also in local storage so you can come back after a month and your highscore still will be there!! So, why random? It was a little unexpected bc I was working on the snake game (yeah it’s still not finished) and suddenly I gained a lot of motivation for the radio buttons. I knew I wanted to style them somehow, but I came up with the star design today, and I think it’s perfect!! What yall think about it?? What’s next? Hopefully, I’m going to finish the snake app!
Perfecting Devlog #17 - snake game and organisation What’s new? Snake game As you can see, I’ve styled the snake game a little! I also added start/tutorial/guide window, I added it by creating new window and setting start button as the window close button hihi work smarter not harder. Ai usage I couldn’t figure it out how can I set imgs as the background, food and even for snake, so I asked ai. It’s just creating const with img and adding drawImage instead of fillStyle , and I’m so happy bc now I understand it and know how to implement imgs to js! WHERE’S THE ROCKET? It was too hard!! I really tried, but when I managed to set the rocket as the snake’s head: The rocket was too small It wasn’t rotating It looked so bad and if I wanted to continue with this idea I would need to use ai, so more ai than I would like, so I eventually there’s snake in the snake game. More organisation I created folders in the img folder for each app, bc the img folder was still a little messy. It was such a tedious process, but it’s much clearer now! What’s next? New REALLY COOL APP and snake app icon, which I’m going to edit today while watching F1 sprint
The most spacecraft app on spacecraft os? Devlog #18 - MapApp!!! ALL SPACECRAFTS IN ONE PLACE WHAT AN AMAZING FEATURE!! What’s new? MAAAP AAAPP While doing research on Voyager 1 and 2 I found this “Eyes On The Solar System” from NASA, and noticed that you can embeed it, and that’s what I’ve done! First and foremost, you can check here the position of any spacecraft you want! That’s why I called it Map App. Moreover, that’s a place with a lot of information, and whole spacecraft history! As you can notice, it didn’t take me so long (bc it’s just embeeding), so what I’ve also completed? Fixed some bugs Finished icon for snake game What’s next? NGRST app! (Can someone guess, what does this short stand for? Hint: HST and JWST are already in spacecraftOS!)
More Animatiooons! Devlog #19 Animations on scroll Animations So recently I’ve been working on animations on scroll! Now my Apps about spacecrafts are more interactive and less boring. In the video below you can see all of the scroll animations I’d added till this moment. I feel so confident with css animations, they give me so much fun!! Icon The video is cropped so you can’t see the snake game icon but it finally is here! I added it in the second slide so you guys can see it! Let me know what yall think. I wanted to keep the one real-life, space themed addition (like moon in the music app) so the snake has galaxy eyes. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope PROBLEM As you can see I also added an icon for NGRST App but it’s an upcoming mission and I don’t really know what to do with it!! Someone requested it in the feedback, so I really want to implement it but idk, maybe I shall add a countdown? But it will be outdated soon. Many things can be outdated! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
Reallyyyyyyy time consuming Calendar Devlog #20 - Calendar So I spent this whole day coding this calendar with youtube tutorial. This tutorial was only 17min but it took me 5h Then I needed to fix some typos bc I ofc made a lot and then many many styling!! It’s not the final result! I’m going on a trip tomorow, so I need to take a break from coding. To adjust the width and height, make it all fit to my site, it takes so long, and then I need to change the colors, bc I was just testing with the pinks. Change colors to all of my themes 😭 But it’s okay I got this Disappointing surprise You can see in the video on the second slide that there are 6 columns in the next month instead of 7! I’ve been so happy bc it was working in august, and then I changed months and it was a little disappointing surprise. I’m gonna fix it later! What’s next? When I’ll be back I’m going to work on this app! I didn’t expected it to be that hard Thanks for reading and see you in the next one!
I’m back!! Devlog #21 - new colors Hi everyone! I’m finally back but from hospital… right after my trip I was diagnosed with severe anemia and had to stay in the hospital for four days. I’m feeling good but I’m a little worried bc I lost so much time and I’m leaving on next trip again in few days!! There’s not many things left in SpacecraftOS tho, so let’s summarise it What’s new? In the video below you can see that I adjusted the calendar colors for every theme. It was such a fun process! I like how it looks now. I also managed to fix the days align and now it works perfectly, always in 7 columns. Hope yall like it! What’s next? I’m going to work on dock animation!! I also need to finish NGRSTApp but I think I’m going to keep it simple bc I don’t have so much time and I want to ship by the time I leave Thanks for reading, take care and have a nice day!!
Which one should I choose? Devlog #22 - Timer So I just made a timer with tutorial, but I need your help!! Should I keep miliseconds (slide 2) or keep it simple just with hours/minutes/seconds?? I kinda think that h/m/s looks better but it also seems so boring and less “advanced” than h/m/s/ms!! Also this was such an easy tutorial, fortunately everything went smoothly!! Yall probably know bro code but if someone wants here’s the link What’s next? Dock animation NGRSTApp Thanks for reading and I’m waiting for your comments!
happy and frustrated Devlog 23 - Dock animation, scrollbar and NGRSTApp Dock Animation I really like this animation!! It’s so smooth and cool and I’m so happy bc I learned new thing with the tutorial!! It came out exactly as I wanted NGRSTApp It’s finally finished!! I managed to add some things regardless it’s such a fresh mission. Hope yall like it! Scrollbar Yeah so here’s the frustrating part. I coded really pretty, unique and practical scrollbar in the css but I used webkit and it worked on microsoft but on chrome - not anymore! You can’t even see the scrollbar! I don’t have time anymore - I’m leaving in few hours, I commented it out and I hope I’ll fix it one day Additional changes Rewrited README Added some events to the calendar What’s next? I’m gonna ship now!! Wish me luck and thank you all for your support throughout the whole voyage!!
Scrollbar is working!! Devlog 24 - scrollbar bug Guys I think that this bug was (is) my personal fault, bc the scroll bar is visible in every single browser different than my current one lol I probably have some sort of extension that adds none !important or sth to my code’s head and it ruins everything, but it shall work on every other device, on every other browser. Tbh I also used ai to fix it but it didn’t really helped bc it was my internal problem. So happy that it’s working, just wanted to clarify and log these 16min!! If any problems with scrollbar occur, please use keyboard arrows to scroll through windows Again, thanks for reading and have a nice day!
Ships:
I made an operating system based around spacecrafts! My website provides few apps: two about telescopes where you can learn about them and rate few photos they took from 1 to 5 stars, and one with notes, where you can store your ideas if some spacecrafts inspire you! Besides apps, on the top bar you will find two guides on how to catch the ISS and starlink satellites. In the ISS window you can find short youtube video - it’s about Polish astronaut, Sławosz Uznański, eating pierogi (delicious polish dish) on the ISS! I really recommend watching this The apps were the biggest challange for me. That’s why I had spent so many hours on this project. Firts, I couldn’t even open the first app. It was hard to even make the selected function work. Then, I managed to make this one app working! But, it wasn’t the right solution. When I added new apps, they were opening the 1st app window, and not theirs. I spent a lot hours trying to fix it, I tried a lot of possible solutions and finally, I had asked ai for help. That’s the only ai usage in this project. Eventually, everything works! I’m so happy because I’ve almost gave up. I really like the outcome, and I look forward for the future changes! I came up with a lot of ideas and I realised them the exact way I wanted! My favourite parts are def the Sławosz eating pierogi video and the photo ranking which I find so fun to watch and rate. Hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I do!
I made an Operating System with spacecraft theme! New features Artemis App Artemis II playlist (app) Settings and darkmode Design - few images on the windows borders Start animation with spacecraftOS baner Challenges Compared to my previous ship, this time all functions and styling went smoothly, but the things that took the most time were adjusting photos and writing, researching about Artemis Mission! I tought that making the darkmode switch would be really hard, but when I focused it was really easy and rewarding process! Proud of I really like the starting animation and the images on the borders. I started coding one month ago so doing something cool with the css all by yourself is so fulfilling! I don’t understand js that much yet, so I had also watched few tutorials. The webOS 1 tutorial was really hard for me, so now I’m really happy when the things I wanted to add to my website turns out well! So I’m also really proud of the images slider in the Artemis App, the spotify playlist embedded and the dark/light mode switcher in the settings! Even tho they were made with tutorials I still needed to adjust it so it fits my site, and I’m so happy that I understand it to the point that I could do this all just by myself Notes Don’t forget to check the README, remember to double click to open apps and just enjoy the vojage!!
I made a web Operating System with spacecraft theme! Creating this site was so fun and fulfilling, esp. when a lot of things turned out exactly as I wanted!! I started coding over a month ago, and I’m so happy that I managed to create something like this. I really enjoyed it, especially the css part. SpacecraftOS This OS provides basic app like timer, calendar, maps, gallery, but everything have implemented some spacecraft additions. For example, the map app won’t show you the route to the nearest grocery store, but it will show you where your fav spacecraft is right now. The calendar app will show you astronauts birthdays and the gallery app provides photos humans sent to space on voyager. All these apps you will find on the left and on the bottom there are apps, where you’ll learn about various spacecrafts, and in some of these apps, you can also rate some photos the spacecrafts took! Notes Please start from choosing the most suitable for you theme in the settings (top right corner) Try on laptop/computer for better experience Snake game is only playable with keyboard Remember to double click on apps to open and please leave a toughtful review. Hope you’ll enjoy it!!...

The project provides detailed information such as geolocation, ISP, ASN, proxy and hosting detection, network metadata and now a much more complete WHOIS lookup experience. One of the biggest updates in this version was expanding the WHOIS system. I researched different WHOIS APIs, worked through CORS and deployment issues, and eventually built and deployed my own API layer to reliably process the registry data. The application can now surface information such as IP ranges, network and organization details, registry information, abuse contacts, administrative and technical contacts, routes and origin AS information, while filtering and formatting the raw responses into something much easier to understand. I also spent a lot of time improving the overall experience around this data. The WHOIS results have been redesigned into structured sections instead of displaying raw registry responses, while the existing geolocation and network information continues to work alongside the interactive Leaflet map. I also worked on the backend and deployment setup to make the whole lookup pipeline more reliable. The project has also started moving beyond being just an educational IP lookup tool. I’m currently experimenting with turning it into a more practical service for location and website tracking, with several ideas planned for future versions. To test it, simply open the website and it will automatically look up your current public IP on your first visit. You can then search for any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address and explore its geolocation, network information and WHOIS data. The How it Works section is also available if you want to understand the networking concepts behind the information being displayed. The project is now live and ready to try! I’d really appreciate it if you could check it out, leave a rating and let me know what you think. ❤️ last time i got some decent feedback on my project, but it was still pretty limited, so i’m hoping this one reaches a few more people. i genuinely enjoy building technical and educational projects that explain how things work under the hood, and i hope that comes across in this one.

Alongside detailed lookup information like geolocation, ISP, ASN, proxy/hosting detection and network metadata, the project includes an interactive documentation experience that walks through concepts such as WHOIS, Regional Internet Registries, Autonomous Systems, BGP routing, coordinate generation, IP accuracy and much more. The biggest challenge was making complex networking concepts understandable without oversimplifying them. I spent a lot of time researching official documentation, verifying information, and designing the interface so users could learn how IP lookups actually work instead of treating the results as a black box. Keeping the documentation visually consistent with the lookup experience while integrating interactive elements like Leaflet maps was another fun challenge. I’m most proud of turning what started as a simple IP lookup tool into something educational. Instead of only displaying data, it explains where the data comes from, how reliable it is, and why different services return different results. Hopefully it helps people learn a little more about how the Internet actually works. To test it, simply open the website. On your first visit it automatically analyzes your current public IP address.

Wrapped up the remaining implementation work and cleaned up the entire codebase Fixed the remaining UI and CSS issues across the application Finished integrating all remaining React components and connected them with the existing data flow Completed the Leaflet map implementation and finalized the interactive location view Polished the overall lookup workflow to ensure everything works smoothly from search to map rendering Deployed the project to Vercel Ran into a deployment issue during the first build, tracked it down and resolved it, then successfully deployed the application Experimented with a clean light theme after deployment, but it didn’t feel quite right for the overall design Designed and implemented a complete dark theme and decided to make it the final look of the project Added the final polish, tested the complete application and verified that everything works as expected finally calling this one done! hope you all enjoy using it, and if you get a chance to check it out, i’d love to hear what you think :)
spent some time giving the project a final polish before calling it done. cleaned up a few remaining ui inconsistencies, refactored parts of the component structure and simplified some of the rendering logic to make the codebase a bit easier to maintain. also fixed a handful of small bugs around ip lookups, improved error handling for invalid inputs and polished loading and transition states throughout the application. made a few tweaks to spacing, typography and responsive layouts so everything feels more consistent across different screen sizes. finished by doing another full pass over the project, removing some leftover code, improving overall stability and verifying the complete lookup workflow one last time before shipping.
Started working on What’s Your IP Human ~ WYIPH experience after receiving feedback that people were interested in understanding what happens behind the scenes during an IP lookup Began building a dedicated “How it Works” page to explain: How IP information is collected Which data is returned directly by lookup providers The expected accuracy of different fields How geolocation and network information are determined Added a new “How it Works” action that replaces the interactive map with a dedicated documentation-style page Designed the initial landing section with a proper hero layout while keeping the overall design language consistent with the rest of the application Reused the current Leaflet map as a dynamic background to create a smoother transition between the dashboard and documentation page Focused on maintaining visual consistency across typography, spacing, colors and component styling so the new page doesn’t feel disconnected from the main interface Built the foundation for future sections that will document the complete lookup pipeline, data sources and processing flow in a much more transparent way More content and diagrams will be added in the next development session
Continued building the What’s Your IP Human documentation experience with a focus on making the lookup process easier to understand Completed the first major section explaining how everything starts , including: How a user’s public IP address is fetched What happens when a lookup request is made The initial request flow before any data is processed Added a highlighted example of the actual request payload to make the explanation easier to follow Documented a few common misconceptions around IP lookups and clarified what information can (and cannot) be determined from an IP address Built another section explaining how IP address ranges are allocated to different organizations, ISPs and cloud providers Researched and collected branding assets for major providers, then organized them into a structured dataset alongside their corresponding IP ranges Created reusable data structures to power the provider showcase and present everything in a clean, consistent layout Focused on keeping the new documentation visually consistent with the rest of the application by maintaining the same spacing, typography, colors and component styling throughout The core structure is now in place, with more sections planned to cover geolocation, network metadata, accuracy and the complete lookup pipeline
Continued expanding the What’s Your IP Human documentation with a few more in-depth networking concepts Researched Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and added a dedicated section explaining how global IP address allocation works Collected the official names, logos and branding assets for each registry and integrated them into the page to make the content more visual and easier to follow Added another section covering WHOIS records , explaining what they are, what information they contain and how they’re commonly used during IP lookups Designed new information grids and data cards with consistent borders, icons and spacing to improve readability while maintaining the overall design language of the application Fixed the documentation flow so every section now references the currently searched IP address instead of placeholder values, making the explanations feel much more contextual and easier to understand Started documenting the fundamentals of Autonomous Systems (ASN) and BGP routing , laying the groundwork for explaining how IP traffic is routed across the internet Spent some time experimenting with different approaches for visualizing networking concepts, including Mermaid diagrams , React Flow , and pure CSS-based layouts before deciding on the final direction Continued refining the overall design consistency so the documentation feels like a natural extension of the main application rather than a separate page More interactive diagrams and networking sections are planned once the final visualization approach is finalized
Continued expanding the networking documentation by adding a dedicated section on Autonomous Systems (ASNs) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Researched how internet routing actually works beyond simple IP ownership and documented the relationship between IP addresses, IP prefixes, ASNs and Internet Service Providers Added step-by-step explanations showing how routers determine the correct destination network instead of routing directly to individual IP addresses Built a visual flow diagram illustrating the complete lookup pipeline: IP Address IP Prefix Origin Autonomous System ISP / Organization Simplified several networking concepts into beginner-friendly explanations while keeping the technical details accurate Refined the typography, spacing and content hierarchy to improve readability across the documentation page Continued maintaining design consistency by reusing existing components and styling patterns throughout the blog Spent additional time validating routing examples and ASN information to ensure the documentation reflects real-world networking concepts as closely as possible This section now serves as the foundation for explaining how global internet traffic is routed before moving into more advanced networking topics
Wrapped up the final release and deployed the latest version to Vercel Updated the live deployment URL, README and project documentation to reflect all of the latest changes Added a few final educational sections explaining: How geographic coordinates are determined from an IP address Why IP lookups are usually so fast How integer IP conversion works behind the scenes The expected accuracy of different pieces of IP metadata Created a dedicated accuracy comparison table so users can easily understand which fields are highly reliable and which are only approximate Fixed a handful of deployment-related issues that appeared during the production build before successfully publishing the updated version Cleaned up the remaining codebase, pushed the final commits and verified the complete lookup flow one last time The project is now live with both the interactive lookup experience and the in-depth networking documentation working together in a single interface really happy with how this turned out! if you get a chance to try it out, i’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. there are already a few more ideas planned for future updates, so this definitely won’t be the last release :)
Started expanding the lookup experience beyond the existing Geolocation, System Context and Network sections by working on a complete WHOIS lookup system Researched how WHOIS data is structured and what kind of information can be extracted from IP registration records Explored and tested multiple APIs for retrieving WHOIS information and worked through the deployment and integration requirements Ran into a few CORS-related issues while testing the external services, so I spent some time debugging the requests and figuring out a reliable way to access the data from the frontend Eventually deployed my own API layer to handle the WHOIS requests and integrated that service into the application Started successfully retrieving WHOIS information for the searched IP addresses, including registration and network-related details Began designing the new WHOIS section so the returned information can be presented in a clean and readable way instead of dumping the raw API response Added the initial UI structure and data components for organizing the different WHOIS fields and making the information easier to understand Tested the complete flow from IP lookup - WHOIS API - processed response - formatted UI and fixed a few issues along the way there’s still more i want to do with the WHOIS section, especially around organizing and explaining some of the returned fields, but the core lookup and integration are now working properly and the next step is mostly about polishing the experience.
Continued working on the WHOIS integration and completed the main lookup flow, with the returned data now being properly processed and rendered inside the application Fixed an issue where some WHOIS responses contained special characters and percentage-encoded values that were being rendered directly as text, causing formatting issues. Added filtering and cleanup so these values are handled properly before reaching the UI Improved the overall WHOIS presentation with better typography, spacing and visual hierarchy so the large amount of returned information feels easier to scan Added more useful WHOIS information, including relevant registration and contact details that could help when looking for the appropriate organization or ISP contact for reporting network-related issues Made a few improvements to the Leaflet map experience as well, particularly around map spanning and tile loading performance Switched the map tile delivery to a faster CDN to reduce loading delays and make the interactive map feel more responsive Started experimenting with a proper theme toggle for the application. The initial approach uses CSS filters to test the dark/light transition, although image and color inversion still causes a few visual issues that need to be cleaned up The next step is to replace the experimental theme approach with a more reliable implementation and polish the remaining edge cases also started thinking about the bigger direction of the project. instead of keeping it purely as an educational IP intelligence experience, i’m considering turning it into an actual service that people could use for real networking, IP intelligence or troubleshooting workflows. still exploring the possibilities, but i think there could be something much more useful to build on top of what is already here.
Continued working on the existing lookup system and made a few more improvements to both the frontend and backend Expanded the WHOIS integration further and added more of the raw registry information into the processed response The WHOIS section can now surface details such as the inetnum/IP range, network name, organization, country, abuse contact, admin and technical contacts, ASN, route and origin AS , along with the relevant registry information For example, an APNIC response can now expose information like the 2.2.2.2 - 2.2.255.255 address range, organization details, abuse mailbox, AS55836 route information and the corresponding network contacts instead of showing only basic IP metadata Refined the WHOIS parsing and presentation so the large responses are filtered and displayed in a much more readable format Worked on the backend again to make the lookup pipeline more reliable and prepared the system for the bigger location and website-tracking direction i’m planning to take this project towards Ran into another unexpected issue with the map tile provider, which recently started requiring an API key for requests even though the same setup had been working without one before. since buying a key isn’t really an option for this project, i’m currently looking into alternative tile providers that can work reliably without introducing another paid dependency Also ran into a few deployment issues while putting the updated backend and frontend online, but tracked them down, fixed the server-side and frontend build issues and got the complete application deployed successfully Did a final pass over the lookup flow, WHOIS data rendering and the rest of the interface to make sure everything was working together properly and that’s basically it for this version. the WHOIS system is now fully integrated and the project is live again. i’m also working on turning this into something more useful than just an IP lookup tool, with a proper location and website tracking workflow planned for the next few updates. :)
Ships:
I built What’s Your IP..?, a web application that lets users inspect any IPv4 or IPv6 address and view detailed information including geolocation, ISP, ASN, hosting/proxy detection, timezone and more, all alongside an interactive Leaflet map. The most challenging part was integrating multiple APIs while keeping the UI responsive and making sure the map, loading states and data components stayed in sync throughout the lookup process. I’m especially proud of the overall UI, the modular component architecture and the smooth search experience. To test the project, simply open the site. On your first visit it automatically analyzes your current public IP. After that, you can enter any valid IP address in the search bar to inspect its details and see its approximate location on the interactive map.
I built What’s Your IP Human (WYIPH), an educational IP intelligence tool that not only lets you inspect IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but also explains what’s happening behind the scenes. Alongside detailed lookup information like geolocation, ISP, ASN, proxy/hosting detection and network metadata, the project includes an interactive documentation experience that walks through concepts such as WHOIS, Regional Internet Registries, Autonomous Systems, BGP routing, coordinate generation, IP accuracy and much more. The biggest challenge was making complex networking concepts understandable without oversimplifying them. I spent a lot of time researching official documentation, verifying information, and designing the interface so users could learn how IP lookups actually work instead of treating the results as a black box. Keeping the documentation visually consistent with the lookup experience while integrating interactive elements like Leaflet maps was another fun challenge. I’m most proud of turning what started as a simple IP lookup tool into something educational. Instead of only displaying data, it explains where the data comes from, how reliable it is, and why different services return different results. Hopefully it helps people learn a little more about how the Internet actually works. To test it, simply open the website. On your first visit it automatically analyzes your current public IP address. You can then search for any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, explore the interactive map, and switch to the How it Works section to dive into the networking concepts behind each piece of information displayed. Feedback is always welcome, and I already have a few more features planned for future updates! if you enjoyed exploring the project, i’d really appreciate a good rating! ❤️ my last project didn’t receive many ratings, so i’m hoping this one reaches a few more people. i genuinely enjoy building technical and educational projects that explain how things work under the hood, and i hope that comes across in this one. there are already more updates planned, so if you like the project, consider following it and leaving a rating. every bit of feedback helps me make it even better. thank you! :)
I built What’s Your IP Human (WYIPH) , an IP intelligence and networking exploration tool that lets you inspect IPv4 and IPv6 addresses while also showing what happens behind the scenes. The project provides detailed information such as geolocation, ISP, ASN, proxy and hosting detection, network metadata and now a much more complete WHOIS lookup experience. One of the biggest updates in this version was expanding the WHOIS system. I researched different WHOIS APIs, worked through CORS and deployment issues, and eventually built and deployed my own API layer to reliably process the registry data. The application can now surface information such as IP ranges, network and organization details, registry information, abuse contacts, administrative and technical contacts, routes and origin AS information, while filtering and formatting the raw responses into something much easier to understand. I also spent a lot of time improving the overall experience around this data. The WHOIS results have been redesigned into structured sections instead of displaying raw registry responses, while the existing geolocation and network information continues to work alongside the interactive Leaflet map. I also worked on the backend and deployment setup to make the whole lookup pipeline more reliable. The project has also started moving beyond being just an educational IP lookup tool. I’m currently experimenting with turning it into a more practical service for location and website tracking, with several ideas planned for future versions. To test it, simply open the website and it will automatically look up your current public IP on your first visit. You can then search for any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address and explore its geolocation, network information and WHOIS data. The How it Works section is also available if you want to understand the networking concepts behind the information being displayed. The project is now live and ready to try! I’d really appreciate it if you could check it out, leave a rating and let me know what you think. ❤️ last time i got some decent feedback on my project, but it was still pretty limited, so i’m hoping this one reaches a few more people. i genuinely enjoy building technical and educational projects that explain how things work under the hood, and i hope that comes across in this one. There are already quite a few more ideas in my head for where this can go next, so this definitely isn’t the final version. Thanks for checking it out and supporting the project! :)...

Of course, I could’ve just reset the password, but that would’ve been worse since I’d still have mismatched passwords. Determinist solves that. It uses a deterministic algorithm to take your inputs, and generate you a password you can recover anytime, anywhere. The only thing you need to remember is your master passphrase, which site you want to log in, and a few additional settings. (presets coming soon!) I had a lot of fun with this project, and it taught me quite a bit about encryption, randomness, and most importantly how a real-world project functions.

I am very happy with how Determinist turned out, despite the difficulties and me being busy with school. But enough of this, what was changed since my last devlog? Changes Updated the documentation to show that a PWA is available to install Fixed various bugs and style inconsistencies Added a description of the generation process to the website Added a Copy to Clipboard toggle Added an Export as Preset button Removed Google Fonts connections What’s next?

A few design changes, and a brand new section on the website! Design I have fixed several design issues I noticed and did not like. Just to mention a few, there was unnecessary overflow on mobile devices, the spacing was off on several elements, and the width of the file input field was also too big. The Wall of Text™ It isn’t that big to be fair, it just explains how Determinist works, split into the 3 versions of the generation algorithm. I didn’t want to copy the page I had linked in the README, so I just wrote it down again and tried wording it better. Additionally, I tried to preserve the original one page, no scroll design by placing the About section below the actual app, so you have to scroll to see it. Other changes I refactored parts of the web code as the Generator element was getting really long, above 500 lines. I moved the algorithms out to a separate importable module, and I placed it along with the python-random module into a self-explanatory modules directory. I’ve also moved generror.jsx and presethandler.jsx into their own handlers/ directory, and the two specialized input fields into an inputs/ directory. Overall, this change makes the code way easier to read. The preset generator works now as well, just click the “Export as Preset” button below “Generate”, name the preset and the preset will be downloaded for you! You can also toggle on a “Copy to Clipboard” feature which allows you to automatically copy your generated password to your clipboard. Pretty neat! What’s next?

Finally, I figured out how to make the site work offline… The process After working on the PWA for way longer than I expected, it finally works as intended! After I’ve figured out how to use next-pwa , I encountered an issue: the site was being cached and loaded correctly in the browser but not when installed as a PWA. I rewrote multiple parts of the code for it to work, yet it did not. In the end, it was the unsecured connections that were at fault. Discovering that, I have learned to use something new again: Localtunnel, which allows me to use a valid (not self-signed) HTTPS connection while testing. This uncovered even more issues with my code, the most obvious being the fact that fonts were not cached at all. This was because I was getting my fonts by connecting to fonts.google.com . This was a really easy thing to fix though, as Next.js already has a next/fonts/google library that had the fonts I used, and now everything works well. What’s next?

Quite a few issues, but apparently it works… Progressive Web App Well, making Determinist a PWA certainly took way longer than expected. I thought it would be an hour at most, I mean Next.js literally has a guide that tells me what to do step-by-step. It was in fact NOT easy. I encountered a ton of problems. First off, I had to write a manifest which had the app name, icons etc., the obvious things. What was not obvious however was that I had multiple ways of doing that. I could write a JSON file, or write a JavaScript file that exports an object. I chose the latter as it was the version that the Next.js guide was using. Then came the icons. Oh, the icons. I made my icons and put it in the public/ directory with the correct names so that they match the manifest. Cool, works when I share it but there is no icon when I add it to my home screen on my iPhone. It said I’m missing a file called apple-touch-icon and apple-touch-icon-precomposed . Cool, I duplicated the icons and I renamed them. No 404s, but it still did not work. I look for a solution. For hours. I look at Next.js docs, YouTube, StackOverflow, Reddit, GitHub issues and there is nothing that would fix it. Finally, I found out I need to link the icon in the head of the website. Great, but still doesn’t work. Turns out, the problem was that I was following the Next.js guide which told me to use HTTPS to test the PWA, but iOS does not trust self-signed keys so it did not download the icon. After that, the generation broke when I was connecting to the site with the IP and not through localhost . I noticed that submitting (pressing the generate button) redirected me which should not have happened due to the line e.preventDefault() . Then I saw Next.js attempting to connect a websocket, and a bunch of 403 errors that weren’t there before. I spent quite a bit of time debugging that, and it was due to not adding my IP to allowedDevOrigins in the next.config.mjs file despite it working perfectly fine before. The Icon As you can see, the image I decided to include in my devlog is the icon for Determinist. I actually did not think of putting the D and the E together at first, but when I did, it reminded me of a lock (hope you can see it!) and I chose to keep it as it kind of fits. And I didn’t want a solid color background, so I decided I’ll just add the name repeating. It was fun making it, and it was also a very good way to practice using Illustrator. What’s next?

You can also report issues on the GitHub page, and it is highly appreciated. What changed? I added the v3 algorithm, after a bit of tinkering with the error handling. My problem was that the error handling wasn’t really dynamic. It couldn’t handle the invalid input errprs from v3, so I made a separate component. I also had to learn how to use HKDF on the client side, which was actually easier to do than I expected, although the actual usage of HKDF was a bit more complicated than it is in Python.

Is Determinist done? Firstly, I just started school, so I got very busy lately and that is why I haven’t been doing much work. As a compensation, v3 of the algorithm is now available on GitHub !! This is version 0.5.1, which is a pretty big jump if you look at the versions before. However, there is a reason for that: active development of Determinist is going to stop once version 1.0.0 comes out, with all the new features and fixes being ported to the website. This will come out in the next week or so. Determinist will still be updated here and there if I miss some features or people have suggestions and issues, but I will be mainly focusing on other projects. Latest development stuff The preset creation was actually pretty easy. I figured I’ll reuse the options from the generate command so I don’t have to write them manually again, and it worked amazing! I had to add to the PresetHandler to make it work, and that was really simple as well. I first thought of adding strings together, but then I realized I could just create dictionaries that my TOML library can convert to TOML and write them to the preset, so I didn’t have to do all the writing myself. The bug fixes weren’t interesting at all, honestly. I messed around with Determinist, found bugs and issues and I fixed them. My favorite one was debugging errors with the preset commands however. I found a bunch of things worth fixing, and in the end I made another helper function, as well as changing how check_file_type works.

All of this and the content of the rest of the devlogs will only be released with the final 1.0.0 release of Determinist. Changes Added v3 algorithm for the Python CLI It features dynamic byte generation so that no matter what, you’ll never run out of characters! (Unless you’re VERY unlucky) You can now enter a third value called a “differentiator” that can be used to change the output further. This is especially useful if you have multiple accounts on the same site. This option can be left empty Your generated password is now guaranteed to have the correct amount of characters You can now set a minimum amount of characters of each type! Simply enter 0 to exclude the character type, and 1 or above to choose how many characters your password have minimum of that type. Made generate prompt only prompt users if the prompts are applicable. This means you will no longer be prompted for the settings of v1 when you use one of the other two algorithms. Fixed an issue where if the site_name option is omitted, the prompt will display Master pass instead of the correct prompt. The difficulties Well, of course the development of v3 came with some challenges. Firstly, I had to figure out how to actually generate enough bytes to pass rejection sampling (making sure no bytes are out of range when mapped onto the character set), as the previous implementation was that I multiplied the password length by 32. This worked, but wasn’t pretty and in very rare and unlucky cases, there weren’t enough bytes. I fixed this by using something called HKDF, which stands for HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function. I’d really prefer to use HKDF. Anyway, this function was really good for this task, as it can take the Argon2 output and create a long, pseudo-random key that can go through rejection sampling, and finally end up in the password. In case this generated key is not enough, HKDF will generate more of it, essentially giving us infinite bytes to then map to our characters. This was especially good because in the same loop I could implement… Minimum requirements This should have been easy, but it took me a day to think about how to do it. The challenge: take a dictionary ( {\"lowercase\": 2, \"uppercase\": 3, \"special\": 1, \"digits\": 0} ), and include at least as many characters of each type as their value in that dictionary says, and if it’s 0 then don’t include it at all. Fine, I said, but I didn’t actually know how to implement this. After a day of thinking, it finally clicked: I implement this in the rejection sampling loop, as that is where my characters get added. Introducing the _construct_pass function: it looks for the already added characters, determines the type of the current character, counts how many are missing, and if a character type is missing some characters or there aren’t any left, the character is added, and otherwise it is discarded. To do Add a preset generator command Fix a g prefix appearing in the version command output before the git commit hash Add the ability to choose a preset in one line instead of being prompted for it Fix the password being allowed to be shorter than the sum of minimum required characters (I found that one while writing this) Port everything over to the website Update the docs Add more text to the website explaining Determinist and how it works"}, {"post_id": 52485, "ts": "2026-08-22T16:59:34Z", "hours": 6.1439, "text": "Determinist // Devlog 9 // 2026.08.22 Long time no see y’all, sorry for the wait! I’m on vacation so I had less time to work on the project, but I did bring some amazing improvements. Announcement The website is officially up and works identically to the CLI, now with presets! Just load your TOML presets into the website, and they will be saved for you to reuse! Important note: they are saved locally, therefore you will not see them on different devices unless you import them there too. Changes Added the preset system to the website! You can now import and use presets, and you can easily remove them if needed. Adjusted the UI so that it fits most (if not all) screens. The smallest screen I tested was an iPhone SE. The Challenges There actually weren’t a lot of challenges for once. The biggest one was that I forgot to work on the project while on vacation, but that’s not horrible. And then came React, JavaScript and everything else… firstly, the preset loading was actually really easy, I did however fight with React about passing values from a child component to the parent. And then it turned out I forgot to make it actually pleasant to use, as I had to select the preset file every time I wanted to load it. Now you can save, select and load your presets on the website. However, React had other plans. I finally learned how React’s useEffect hook works, and using it is pretty easy now that I get what I’m doing. Along with this, I also properly learned about using functions inside useState for lazy initialization which I needed for localStorage . Oh, localStorage was a pleasure to learn and use… Well, the operations with it are actually fairly easy, it’s like an object, and my first thought of initializing a state with it was to use useState({ ...localStorage }) , which did work, but it introduced something else: a build error after I merged the changes into main . Turns out, localStorage is undefined when GitHub Actions wants to build my website, therefore it gave me an error saying so. What I had to do is check if the window object is equal to 'undefined' , and if not, then spread localStorage and initialize the state. Finally, the website managed to build properly, but when I tried to use it on my phone, the output of the generator was outside my screen… so I had to go back and change how the UI looks after I’ve already merged everything into main . Amazing. Well, the good new is that it works, and next up is the v3 algorithm, as well as QoL changes, bug fixes, and more in both the CLI and web versions."}, {"post_id": 46026, "ts": "2026-08-12T22:45:54Z", "hours": 6.4178, "text": "Determinist // Devlog 8 // 2026.08.13 The UI is mostly complete, and I will be releasing the website tomorrow!

You might ask, “why did you spend over 6 hours on it then?”. I have an answer for you. I tried using Figma for designing the UI but it was just too boring for me, so I decided to start coding it and figure it out as I go. I’m pretty satisfied with the result, but with everything, it can always be improved. The second problem was that while I was coding, I was also listening to music and I spent a bunch of time skipping songs because I didn’t feel like listening to them. This took my attention along with singing a bit too much, so my progress was slowed… The last thing to slow me down was my general inexperience with React and JS, although I got over that quick because the frontend is way easier to work on.

I had to use AI for the first time :( Why? JavaScript does not have the same random implementation as Python does. Python uses MT19937 while JS uses Xorshift128+. This means we can’t use JavaScript’s random number generator, not to mention that we can’t even use it to shuffle arrays, as it lacks the method. And since I am relatively new to JS, I had two options: get a 15 year old module work that does exactly what I need it to, or make it with AI. I tried getting that package to work. I really did. Unfortunately, the algorithm it uses seems to be outdated, as the results differed in tests. That is why I used AI. I really didn’t want to, but I had to. Well, let’s look at the positives, at least!

See, JavaScript doesn’t really have a dictionary type like Python does, so I had to use an object, which is similar enough and I can look for keys with in , just like in Python. The tricky part was creating such an object from the user’s input. I chose the most user friendly way I could think of, and made separate inputs for the key and value, and you can dynamically add more with an “Add Character Pair” button.

The plan I’ll use GitHub Pages to host Determinist until I can get my own domain and personal site up, after which I’ll transfer it there. The plan is to make the generator client sided by using WebAssembly to access Argon2 in the browser without requiring a backend. I wanna do this so that no information leaves the user’s computer, which is a key part of keeping Determinist privacy focused. I chose to use Next.js because I used it before, and it has Static Site Generation which is essential if I want to put the site on GitHub Pages. What I achieved in 2 and a half hours I made Argon2 work Yes, that’s about it. I spent most of my time debugging errors and learning basics as I’ve only used JavaScript for making components, not to make more complex algorithms like Determinist’s is. I am a fast learner though, so I expect to be able to recreate Determinist V1 relatively quickly.

Although it is quite straightforward to understand, I did include a few here and there. A brand new version command shows what version Determinist is on, what commit it was built from, and the Python version it uses. I added more custom error handling to commands Something funny happened… I was testing the generation of the default preset, and I forgot to press tab when deleting the Determinist config directory. I only realized that when Hyprland started screaming at me about missing configurations. I thought “that’s weird”, so I checked the command I ran. rm -rf ~/.config/ . I deleted my entire configuration directory… Luckily, I had backups, but at least I’ve learned that I should double check my commands. Another Typer issue To absolutely no one’s surprise, Typer didn’t work as intended, once again. It kept reporting the wrong error when running presets subcommands. Turns out it was the callback I wrote to list the presets. It actually ran the check every time a presets command was run, giving the wrong error when a non TOML file was detected in the presets directory. It was a quick fix, but now I’m quite comfortable with Typer."}, {"post_id": 41993, "ts": "2026-08-06T15:11:38Z", "hours": 10.2806, "text": "Determinist // Devlog 3 // 2026.08.06. Determinist v0.2.2 is here and available to install, but I certainly did not thing this would take another 10 hours… What changed I have made a preset system that can load settings so you don’t have to type them out manually. You can only use this with the regular generate command. The presets command lists out all installed presets Running presets save with a path added at the end will save the selected preset to your config folder Adding delete after presets with the name of a preset will delete that permanently Using presets default and adding the preset name will set that preset as default Running --help is actually helpful now! Another change is I made prompt a subcommand of generate . I ran into an issue while implementing this… The issue You see, Typer cannot tell the difference between a positional argument and a subcommand, meaning that it took prompt as the master_pass argument for generate . This is obviously not at all what I intended, so I needed a way to figure out how to solve this. I didn’t want to make prompt an option, since that would’ve complicated things a lot more than they needed to be. Therefore, I changed master_pass and site_name to required options, which means they need to be typed out manually. Fear not however, because if you forget to do that, Determinist now prompts you for it! Another problem was with types, again. Typer apparently doesn’t like Union types, which I would’ve used for the preset option. What I wanted to do is make the user be able to type out the name of the preset, select one if none is entered in the command, or do everything manually. Problem: that’s 3 types: None , str and UNSET , which is basically a different spelling of None , it jut signals that the presets option was passed without an argument, as a flag. But Typer decided to ruin my day and only let me use two types, so I removed it all and made --preset a boolean, therefore a flag.

It’s been a while, so let’s recap what happened… Release!! The first official release of Determinist is here! You can check out the GitHub page to learn more. Algorithm V2 Quite a few changes here. I changed the algorithm so that it uses the bytes that Argon2 returns The bytes are now mapped to characters in a shuffled charset Insert/Replace modes have been removed because special characters are already in the charset You can now construct your own charset Typer I made my CLI with Typer, which was a challenge to say the least. This is my first time using it, and looking back, it wasn’t THAT bad. All I had to do is refactor generator.py completely, and make my types compatible (which I worked REALLY HARD on for V1). Typer doesn’t allow me to use things like lists and dictionaries, both of which are essential, but I managed to change everything in a way that’s mostly straightforward. I can split strings into a list and use JSON for dictionaries. Refactoring Challenges This is pretty funny. I wrote a series of tests for version 2 of the algorithm before I started implementing Typer. After than however, all tests passed except one.

Determinist // Devlog 1 // 2026.07.24. Hey everyone! This is the first devlog of Determinist, a deterministic password generator. After a few hours of messing around, I’ve managed to write the first working version of the generator algorithm. (Flowchart attached) You can specify the parameters such as password length, special character frequency, etc. as well as the master passphrase and the salt (site name in this case), and the script will generate a pseudorandom password for you. I’ve hit quite a few roadblock along the way, such as the salt being too small. This is a feature of Argon2, so for now you can only use custom salts that are bigger than 8 bytes. I’ve also included a few unit tests as proof of concept. The generator algorithm will be improved in later versions, and a CLI tool will be available.
Determinist // Devlog 2 // 2026.08.01 Welcome back to the second devlog of Determinist! It’s been a while, so let’s recap what happened… Release!! The first official release of Determinist is here! You can check out the GitHub page to learn more. Algorithm V2 Quite a few changes here. I changed the algorithm so that it uses the bytes that Argon2 returns The bytes are now mapped to characters in a shuffled charset Insert/Replace modes have been removed because special characters are already in the charset You can now construct your own charset Typer I made my CLI with Typer, which was a challenge to say the least. This is my first time using it, and looking back, it wasn’t THAT bad. All I had to do is refactor generator.py completely, and make my types compatible (which I worked REALLY HARD on for V1). Typer doesn’t allow me to use things like lists and dictionaries, both of which are essential, but I managed to change everything in a way that’s mostly straightforward. I can split strings into a list and use JSON for dictionaries. Refactoring Challenges This is pretty funny. I wrote a series of tests for version 2 of the algorithm before I started implementing Typer. After than however, all tests passed except one. I was supposed to use assertUnequal() , but used the opposite instead, and that was I caught an error in my code that would’ve went unnoticed. The tests saved me another time, when I noticed that changing the order in which the charset character types are written changes the output, which is not what I need because it’s essentially the same input, and it should be more like a toggle. The fix was making the charset canonical. The algorithm goes through the list, writes the correct characters into a string, and uses that in the salt instead of the list of the charset. Other The Generator class was removed, as it served no purpose.
Determinist // Devlog 3 // 2026.08.06. Determinist v0.2.2 is here and available to install, but I certainly did not thing this would take another 10 hours… What changed I have made a preset system that can load settings so you don’t have to type them out manually. You can only use this with the regular generate command. The presets command lists out all installed presets Running presets save with a path added at the end will save the selected preset to your config folder Adding delete after presets with the name of a preset will delete that permanently Using presets default and adding the preset name will set that preset as default Running --help is actually helpful now! Another change is I made prompt a subcommand of generate . I ran into an issue while implementing this… The issue You see, Typer cannot tell the difference between a positional argument and a subcommand, meaning that it took prompt as the master_pass argument for generate . This is obviously not at all what I intended, so I needed a way to figure out how to solve this. I didn’t want to make prompt an option, since that would’ve complicated things a lot more than they needed to be. Therefore, I changed master_pass and site_name to required options, which means they need to be typed out manually. Fear not however, because if you forget to do that, Determinist now prompts you for it! Another problem was with types, again. Typer apparently doesn’t like Union types, which I would’ve used for the preset option. What I wanted to do is make the user be able to type out the name of the preset, select one if none is entered in the command, or do everything manually. Problem: that’s 3 types: None , str and UNSET , which is basically a different spelling of None , it jut signals that the presets option was passed without an argument, as a flag. But Typer decided to ruin my day and only let me use two types, so I removed it all and made --preset a boolean, therefore a flag. That’s about it for now, if you like the idea of having an easy way of remembering your passwords, check out Determinist!
Determinist // Devlog 4 // 2026.08.07 Developer experience and cleanups What changed My code now has comments! Although it is quite straightforward to understand, I did include a few here and there. A brand new version command shows what version Determinist is on, what commit it was built from, and the Python version it uses. I added more custom error handling to commands Something funny happened… I was testing the generation of the default preset, and I forgot to press tab when deleting the Determinist config directory. I only realized that when Hyprland started screaming at me about missing configurations. I thought “that’s weird”, so I checked the command I ran. rm -rf ~/.config/ . I deleted my entire configuration directory… Luckily, I had backups, but at least I’ve learned that I should double check my commands. Another Typer issue To absolutely no one’s surprise, Typer didn’t work as intended, once again. It kept reporting the wrong error when running presets subcommands. Turns out it was the callback I wrote to list the presets. It actually ran the check every time a presets command was run, giving the wrong error when a non TOML file was detected in the presets directory. It was a quick fix, but now I’m quite comfortable with Typer.
Determinist // Devlog 5 // 2026.08.09 I’ve started working on the website finally! The plan I’ll use GitHub Pages to host Determinist until I can get my own domain and personal site up, after which I’ll transfer it there. The plan is to make the generator client sided by using WebAssembly to access Argon2 in the browser without requiring a backend. I wanna do this so that no information leaves the user’s computer, which is a key part of keeping Determinist privacy focused. I chose to use Next.js because I used it before, and it has Static Site Generation which is essential if I want to put the site on GitHub Pages. What I achieved in 2 and a half hours I made Argon2 work Yes, that’s about it. I spent most of my time debugging errors and learning basics as I’ve only used JavaScript for making components, not to make more complex algorithms like Determinist’s is. I am a fast learner though, so I expect to be able to recreate Determinist V1 relatively quickly. Starting with WASM on my first serious web project where I’m still learning JS maybe wasn’t the most amazing idea, but hey, I like challenges and learning by doing. What’s next? Continuing work on V1 Porting V2 to JavaScript Desgining the UI Adding the preset system Generating the static site and fixing errors after it’s done And to the reviewers and people who liked the Determinist CLI… Thank you! Developing Determinist has been lots of fun and I’ve learned a lot of valuable things. Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated, it motivates me to work every single day. It’s a project I’m really passionate about, as I wanted to create this for years. Thank you all for your support, and I hope you’ll enjoy using Determinist whether it’s in your terminal or the web. See you in the next devlog!
Determinist // Devlog 6 // 2026.08.10 Pretty big milestone: V1 is finally working on the website! Additions Added the V1 generation algorithm Added the customization options to the interface The Generator V1 is complete and works perfectly! I had to figure out a way to enter objects, and it was quite difficult. See, JavaScript doesn’t really have a dictionary type like Python does, so I had to use an object, which is similar enough and I can look for keys with in , just like in Python. The tricky part was creating such an object from the user’s input. I chose the most user friendly way I could think of, and made separate inputs for the key and value, and you can dynamically add more with an “Add Character Pair” button. I really wish there was an easier way and maybe there is a template out there, but I didn’t consider it until writing this very sentence. Anyways, tomorrow I’ll spend more time refining V1, the inputs and I’ll start working on V2. To Do Refining the generator and inputs Creating V2 Desgining the UI Adding the preset system Generating the static site
Determinist // Devlog 7 // 2026.08.12 Well, it’s official. I had to use AI for the first time :( Why? JavaScript does not have the same random implementation as Python does. Python uses MT19937 while JS uses Xorshift128+. This means we can’t use JavaScript’s random number generator, not to mention that we can’t even use it to shuffle arrays, as it lacks the method. And since I am relatively new to JS, I had two options: get a 15 year old module work that does exactly what I need it to, or make it with AI. I tried getting that package to work. I really did. Unfortunately, the algorithm it uses seems to be outdated, as the results differed in tests. That is why I used AI. I really didn’t want to, but I had to. Well, let’s look at the positives, at least! Changes The V2 algorithm is implemented and works 1:1 with the Python version! I managed to make another input component that uses checkboxes so you can select what kind of characters you’d like. It was challenging but it works! Next Up Tomorrow I’ll work on the UI design Adding the preset system Building the site Uploading to GitHub Pages
Determinist // Devlog 8 // 2026.08.13 The UI is mostly complete, and I will be releasing the website tomorrow! Changes Significantly improved the entire user interface Version and special character mode (V1) now use <select> instead of the regular <input> , so you don’t have to type them out The difficulties There really wasn’t anything too hard about making the UI. You might ask, “why did you spend over 6 hours on it then?”. I have an answer for you. I tried using Figma for designing the UI but it was just too boring for me, so I decided to start coding it and figure it out as I go. I’m pretty satisfied with the result, but with everything, it can always be improved. The second problem was that while I was coding, I was also listening to music and I spent a bunch of time skipping songs because I didn’t feel like listening to them. This took my attention along with singing a bit too much, so my progress was slowed… The last thing to slow me down was my general inexperience with React and JS, although I got over that quick because the frontend is way easier to work on. Planned Adding the preset system Building the site & uploading to GitHub Pages
Determinist // Devlog 9 // 2026.08.22 Long time no see y’all, sorry for the wait! I’m on vacation so I had less time to work on the project, but I did bring some amazing improvements. Announcement The website is officially up and works identically to the CLI, now with presets! Just load your TOML presets into the website, and they will be saved for you to reuse! Important note: they are saved locally, therefore you will not see them on different devices unless you import them there too. Changes Added the preset system to the website! You can now import and use presets, and you can easily remove them if needed. Adjusted the UI so that it fits most (if not all) screens. The smallest screen I tested was an iPhone SE. The Challenges There actually weren’t a lot of challenges for once. The biggest one was that I forgot to work on the project while on vacation, but that’s not horrible. And then came React, JavaScript and everything else… firstly, the preset loading was actually really easy, I did however fight with React about passing values from a child component to the parent. And then it turned out I forgot to make it actually pleasant to use, as I had to select the preset file every time I wanted to load it. Now you can save, select and load your presets on the website. However, React had other plans. I finally learned how React’s useEffect hook works, and using it is pretty easy now that I get what I’m doing. Along with this, I also properly learned about using functions inside useState for lazy initialization which I needed for localStorage . Oh, localStorage was a pleasure to learn and use… Well, the operations with it are actually fairly easy, it’s like an object, and my first thought of initializing a state with it was to use useState({ ...localStorage }) , which did work, but it introduced something else: a build error after I merged the changes into main . Turns out, localStorage is undefined when GitHub Actions wants to build my website, therefore it gave me an error saying so. What I had to do is check if the window object is equal to 'undefined' , and if not, then spread localStorage and initialize the state. Finally, the website managed to build properly, but when I tried to use it on my phone, the output of the generator was outside my screen… so I had to go back and change how the UI looks after I’ve already merged everything into main . Amazing. Well, the good new is that it works, and next up is the v3 algorithm, as well as QoL changes, bug fixes, and more in both the CLI and web versions.
Determinist // Devlog 10 // 2026.08.27 Updates here and there, and the v3 algorithm is finally complete! All of this and the content of the rest of the devlogs will only be released with the final 1.0.0 release of Determinist. Changes Added v3 algorithm for the Python CLI It features dynamic byte generation so that no matter what, you’ll never run out of characters! (Unless you’re VERY unlucky) You can now enter a third value called a “differentiator” that can be used to change the output further. This is especially useful if you have multiple accounts on the same site. This option can be left empty Your generated password is now guaranteed to have the correct amount of characters You can now set a minimum amount of characters of each type! Simply enter 0 to exclude the character type, and 1 or above to choose how many characters your password have minimum of that type. Made generate prompt only prompt users if the prompts are applicable. This means you will no longer be prompted for the settings of v1 when you use one of the other two algorithms. Fixed an issue where if the site_name option is omitted, the prompt will display Master pass instead of the correct prompt. The difficulties Well, of course the development of v3 came with some challenges. Firstly, I had to figure out how to actually generate enough bytes to pass rejection sampling (making sure no bytes are out of range when mapped onto the character set), as the previous implementation was that I multiplied the password length by 32. This worked, but wasn’t pretty and in very rare and unlucky cases, there weren’t enough bytes. I fixed this by using something called HKDF, which stands for HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function. I’d really prefer to use HKDF. Anyway, this function was really good for this task, as it can take the Argon2 output and create a long, pseudo-random key that can go through rejection sampling, and finally end up in the password. In case this generated key is not enough, HKDF will generate more of it, essentially giving us infinite bytes to then map to our characters. This was especially good because in the same loop I could implement… Minimum requirements This should have been easy, but it took me a day to think about how to do it. The challenge: take a dictionary ( {"lowercase": 2, "uppercase": 3, "special": 1, "digits": 0} ), and include at least as many characters of each type as their value in that dictionary says, and if it’s 0 then don’t include it at all. Fine, I said, but I didn’t actually know how to implement this. After a day of thinking, it finally clicked: I implement this in the rejection sampling loop, as that is where my characters get added. Introducing the _construct_pass function: it looks for the already added characters, determines the type of the current character, counts how many are missing, and if a character type is missing some characters or there aren’t any left, the character is added, and otherwise it is discarded. To do Add a preset generator command Fix a g prefix appearing in the version command output before the git commit hash Add the ability to choose a preset in one line instead of being prompted for it Fix the password being allowed to be shorter than the sum of minimum required characters (I found that one while writing this) Port everything over to the website Update the docs Add more text to the website explaining Determinist and how it works
Determinist // Devlog 11 // 2026.09.06. After the first week of school, I have finished work on the CLI, and Determinist 0.5.1 is released! Changes Added presets create command Changed preset option to allow selection in one line Changed the presets list to show invalid files in the configuration directory Added password generation errors Fixed bugs: The password being allowed to have less characters than the sum of the minimum required characters is fixed The g prefix from the commit hash is now removed Various preset error handling issues have been fixed Presets are now not required to have all the versions inside them What’s taking so long? Is Determinist done? Firstly, I just started school, so I got very busy lately and that is why I haven’t been doing much work. As a compensation, v3 of the algorithm is now available on GitHub !! This is version 0.5.1, which is a pretty big jump if you look at the versions before. However, there is a reason for that: active development of Determinist is going to stop once version 1.0.0 comes out, with all the new features and fixes being ported to the website. This will come out in the next week or so. Determinist will still be updated here and there if I miss some features or people have suggestions and issues, but I will be mainly focusing on other projects. Latest development stuff The preset creation was actually pretty easy. I figured I’ll reuse the options from the generate command so I don’t have to write them manually again, and it worked amazing! I had to add to the PresetHandler to make it work, and that was really simple as well. I first thought of adding strings together, but then I realized I could just create dictionaries that my TOML library can convert to TOML and write them to the preset, so I didn’t have to do all the writing myself. The bug fixes weren’t interesting at all, honestly. I messed around with Determinist, found bugs and issues and I fixed them. My favorite one was debugging errors with the preset commands however. I found a bunch of things worth fixing, and in the end I made another helper function, as well as changing how check_file_type works. To do Port everything over to the website Add more text to the website explaining Determinist and how it works
Determinist // Devlog 12 // 2026.09.16. Well, it took me more than a week, but the v3 algorithm is on the website! CLI Update I have published version 0.5.2 of the Python CLI, which fixed a few issues I found (you can see them on the GitHub page!), and added actual functionality to the default presets. You can also report issues on the GitHub page, and it is highly appreciated. What changed? I added the v3 algorithm, after a bit of tinkering with the error handling. My problem was that the error handling wasn’t really dynamic. It couldn’t handle the invalid input errprs from v3, so I made a separate component. I also had to learn how to use HKDF on the client side, which was actually easier to do than I expected, although the actual usage of HKDF was a bit more complicated than it is in Python. What’s next? Bug fixes Descriptions Preset Generator PWA Implementation Auto Copy to Clipboard toggle
Determinist // Devlog 13 // 2026.09.25. Quite a few issues, but apparently it works… Progressive Web App Well, making Determinist a PWA certainly took way longer than expected. I thought it would be an hour at most, I mean Next.js literally has a guide that tells me what to do step-by-step. It was in fact NOT easy. I encountered a ton of problems. First off, I had to write a manifest which had the app name, icons etc., the obvious things. What was not obvious however was that I had multiple ways of doing that. I could write a JSON file, or write a JavaScript file that exports an object. I chose the latter as it was the version that the Next.js guide was using. Then came the icons. Oh, the icons. I made my icons and put it in the public/ directory with the correct names so that they match the manifest. Cool, works when I share it but there is no icon when I add it to my home screen on my iPhone. It said I’m missing a file called apple-touch-icon and apple-touch-icon-precomposed . Cool, I duplicated the icons and I renamed them. No 404s, but it still did not work. I look for a solution. For hours. I look at Next.js docs, YouTube, StackOverflow, Reddit, GitHub issues and there is nothing that would fix it. Finally, I found out I need to link the icon in the head of the website. Great, but still doesn’t work. Turns out, the problem was that I was following the Next.js guide which told me to use HTTPS to test the PWA, but iOS does not trust self-signed keys so it did not download the icon. After that, the generation broke when I was connecting to the site with the IP and not through localhost . I noticed that submitting (pressing the generate button) redirected me which should not have happened due to the line e.preventDefault() . Then I saw Next.js attempting to connect a websocket, and a bunch of 403 errors that weren’t there before. I spent quite a bit of time debugging that, and it was due to not adding my IP to allowedDevOrigins in the next.config.mjs file despite it working perfectly fine before. The Icon As you can see, the image I decided to include in my devlog is the icon for Determinist. I actually did not think of putting the D and the E together at first, but when I did, it reminded me of a lock (hope you can see it!) and I chose to keep it as it kind of fits. And I didn’t want a solid color background, so I decided I’ll just add the name repeating. It was fun making it, and it was also a very good way to practice using Illustrator. What’s next? Making the PWA work offline Bug fixes Descriptions Preset Generator Auto Copy to Clipboard toggle
Determinist // Devlog 14 // 2026.09.06. Finally, I figured out how to make the site work offline… The process After working on the PWA for way longer than I expected, it finally works as intended! After I’ve figured out how to use next-pwa , I encountered an issue: the site was being cached and loaded correctly in the browser but not when installed as a PWA. I rewrote multiple parts of the code for it to work, yet it did not. In the end, it was the unsecured connections that were at fault. Discovering that, I have learned to use something new again: Localtunnel, which allows me to use a valid (not self-signed) HTTPS connection while testing. This uncovered even more issues with my code, the most obvious being the fact that fonts were not cached at all. This was because I was getting my fonts by connecting to fonts.google.com . This was a really easy thing to fix though, as Next.js already has a next/fonts/google library that had the fonts I used, and now everything works well. What’s next? Bug fixes Descriptions Preset Generator Auto Copy to Clipboard toggle
Determinist // Devlog 15 // 2026.09.15. A few design changes, and a brand new section on the website! Design I have fixed several design issues I noticed and did not like. Just to mention a few, there was unnecessary overflow on mobile devices, the spacing was off on several elements, and the width of the file input field was also too big. The Wall of Text™ It isn’t that big to be fair, it just explains how Determinist works, split into the 3 versions of the generation algorithm. I didn’t want to copy the page I had linked in the README, so I just wrote it down again and tried wording it better. Additionally, I tried to preserve the original one page, no scroll design by placing the About section below the actual app, so you have to scroll to see it. Other changes I refactored parts of the web code as the Generator element was getting really long, above 500 lines. I moved the algorithms out to a separate importable module, and I placed it along with the python-random module into a self-explanatory modules directory. I’ve also moved generror.jsx and presethandler.jsx into their own handlers/ directory, and the two specialized input fields into an inputs/ directory. Overall, this change makes the code way easier to read. The preset generator works now as well, just click the “Export as Preset” button below “Generate”, name the preset and the preset will be downloaded for you! You can also toggle on a “Copy to Clipboard” feature which allows you to automatically copy your generated password to your clipboard. Pretty neat! What’s next? Bug fixes Auto clear password popup
Determinist // Devlog 16 // 2026.09.17. Version 1.0.0 is out, and this is my final devlog. Well, it finally arrived. Version 1.0.0. This is where active development stops. Of course, I will still fix issues and implement features suggested by you guys, but I probably won’t be adding any by myself. Stardance has been a great inspiration for me, not only to make this project, but to keep going and coming back to doing what I love: coding, and making things for others. I am very happy with how Determinist turned out, despite the difficulties and me being busy with school. But enough of this, what was changed since my last devlog? Changes Updated the documentation to show that a PWA is available to install Fixed various bugs and style inconsistencies Added a description of the generation process to the website Added a Copy to Clipboard toggle Added an Export as Preset button Removed Google Fonts connections What’s next? Nothing. I’d like to thank everyone who had a chance to try and use Determinist. Everyone who reviewed it and even you, the one reading this devlog :) Y’all have showed me that things I make can and are useful for others. See you in the next Hack Club program!
Ships:
Determinist is a password generator made for people who often forget or leave passwords behind, just like me. A few years ago I was on vacation when I wanted to log into a website. However, the password for it was left at home on my PC, which I didn’t bring with myself. Of course, I could’ve just reset the password, but that would’ve been worse since I’d still have mismatched passwords. Determinist solves that. It uses a deterministic algorithm to take your inputs, and generate you a password you can recover anytime, anywhere. The only thing you need to remember is your master passphrase, which site you want to log in, and a few additional settings. (presets coming soon!) I had a lot of fun with this project, and it taught me quite a bit about encryption, randomness, and most importantly how a real-world project functions. (I do have to mention my initial struggle with Typer though, I would not want to wish that on my worst enemy.) With that being said, I hope you’ll have your password problems solved, and that you’ll enjoy using Determinist! Have fun!
Well, it’s official: Determinist now has a website! Features: Easy to use interface Straightforward settings 1:1 compatibility with the CLI Fully client-side The only thing that hasn’t made it into the website (yet) is the preset system, just like with the CLI, I’m adding that later as the web UI is already really easy to use. And now the less technical bit… It’s been an incredible journey, Determinist has been my dream project for a few years now, and it’s really amazing how I can share it with the world now that it’s done. Just to mention a few things I learned from this project: Testing Proper git usage Cryptography JavaScript These are things I wouldn’t really have learned without Determinist. Sure, I could have done so, but not this fast and effectively. I must thank those who supported the project, who liked the devlogs, and of course the reviewers who gave their opinion on the CLI. Because of your feedback, I made Determinist even easier to use now, and I will continue doing so. Version 3 of the algorithm is on its way, as well as the preset system for the web. Thank you everyone!
Determinist Determinist is a deterministic password generator that lets you recover forgotten passwords easily, given that you remember a master password, and a few things about your lost password. Features CLI and Web interface, featuring a PWA that also works offline Three algorithm versions to choose from A preset system Generated passwords are identical on both the website and the CLI Fully local generation Presets The presets use the TOML format, which is very user-friendly and easy to edit. The presets have multiple categories inside them like ‘general’ (for the algorithm version and password length), ‘preset’ (the preset name, description and whether it is set as defaul), and version specific ones like ‘v3’, which has the settings for the v3 algorithm. If you’re unsure how to edit preset files, you can also just export your settings from the website, and use it across all versions of Determinist! To Reviewers Please, test both the CLI and the website (if possible), and provide feedback on User Experience if you encountered any issues, include that in the review. You can even suggest features, and I may implement them :) Thank you!...

finally added guitar picks :) designed some funky guitar picks that are collectable once the guitar player collides with it. i also programmed an animation so they float. i really like how the guitar picks contrast a lot, making them easy to see. i struggled a lot with figuring out why my script couldn’t find the timer node, since i (thought i) had followed the guide exactly. my mistake was that i didn’t label the text (which had to be named timer so the script could find it), so “timer” never actually existed. i consulted claude a bit to help me debug this issue. this helped me learn how to debug script problems and a good reminder to check what things are named so far, this has been pretty fun! my godot DID randomly crash, which freaked me out so much, but nothing was lost! remember to ctrl + s!
clicker minigame! finished up the clicker minigame scene, going onto the win / lose screens now. i was able to put in the scripts so that once clicked, the music note will disappear and will count towards if the player won the minigame or not. it was a bit funky trying to put in the script and connecting the signals properly, but i managed to do it! i like how the game is going so far, i have learned a lot about godot :)
third minigame done! i have finished up my third minigame, where you have to press up or down depending if you’re sharp or flat (music tuning terms). i have also made a losing screen and winning screen. it was tricky figuring out what type of minigame i should make, but then i remembered that to play instruments, you gotta tune to sound good! i used the second minigame clicker script to help guide me on how to make this third minigame, with some googling. i think this project has gone way better than i expected, and im excited for when i ship it!
itch.io page up! the game is functional, so i have decided to export it to itch.io. exporting it was a bit tricky since i didn’t have web downloaded, but i was able to export it into the itch.io page and now it’s runnable! i think i’m going to ship it now, and keep working on it even after i have shipped. making all the assets and programming the minigames to work has been fun!
adding options screen, music! i am starting to make the options scene, since it wasnt actually functional and only has a guitar png… but now i will make it so it toggles the music on and off! i have also added music to the game that loops, a retro game vibe. i have also made the third minigame more obvious, adding a “SPAM” text so that the user knows you have to spam click, as well as making the first minigame easier by adding more time since the only way you could beat it is if you had a perfect run, which could get frustrating.
minigame 4 start! came up with an idea for my fourth minigame! what i have in mind is that it’ll be a puzzle, where you have to put the xylophone parts in descending order, aka largest piece left to smallest piece right. im not sure how to script this though, so ill have to do some googling ! i am pretty excited for this last minigame though, and im planning on redesigning my third minigames background cause i think i chose some really ugly colors lol.
fourth minigame done! this took a lot of time thinking and figuring out how to do this… i was thinking it could be a drag and drop system but i found that too complicated, so then i thought of swapping the positions. i had to use some math to find the center of each piece and so that theyd be centered when swapped, and added a slight highlight to see what youre doing better. i used ai to help me figure out how to debug my swapping system, since it was taking a long time and i was getting pretty frustrated.
fifth minigame: string the harp! i came up with a minigame where you have to string a harp by clicking on two buttons. i might do more buttons later, but i have put only two buttons in for simplicity. i came up with this yesterday late at night so i was overthinking on how to do this… but really, all you gotta do is have two buttons and make a line appear once true, and repeat if you want more strings. i think this will be a nice addition, since harps need to be strung and such. i chose a harp cause… why not? its a pretty cool instrument! no visuals yet… but i will be making some soon :D i THOUGHT of making it a drag from one point to another… but uhhh thats a bit out of my skill level right now. i have searched it up but i got no clear answer or guide, but i might come back if i figure it out!
string the harp… done??? okay im REALLY proud of this one. i have tried doing some proper pixel art… and i think its lowkey fire?? :D i wanna try to pixelate the whole game if possible now.. but that might take forever. ive designed the minigame, where you have to click the gray rectangles on the harp to string it. you must click buttons that are across form each other, otherwise it won’t work. this has to be my favorite minigame even though the script really didnt take that long, just a few booleans going from false to true.
trumpet playing! sixth minigame done! wowzies… ts took me a bit. this is the sixth minigame i have come up with, where you have to press on the selected keys with your keyboards to play the note. i really like how this turned out, but it took a bit to figure out how i wanted to make this. i went with the press down to play way since it made the most sense on how a trumpet works, and i thought itd be cool to have a functioning trumpet to play with in this minigame! it took me some problem solving to figure out how i wanted to layout the if functions for when two / one key(s) were pressed, but i managed in the end! :D (the fingerings ARENT correct for you trumpet enthusiasts…. i picked two notes that had NO fingerings… so i had to make sum up. sorry!)
redesign! ive redesigned the timer screen to have that pixelated art style, and i have also added instructions too all of my minigames just incase it was unclear on what you were supposed to be doing. i have also tweaked my sixth minigame so that when you play all four notes, you can have some time to spam some notes for fun, disabling the green highlights. the font has also changed to a pixeled one :)
redesigned entire game! i have made all of my assets into the pixel art style, and i think im ready to ship?? it took me a long time having to go over each asset and making the edges look crisp without any fuzzy pixels. i have six working minigames! i was wanting to add more, but… no ideas are coming to me and i also want to work on other projects! i can always just ship again lol. this has been SUCH a fun project to work on, and i have learned a lot about godot and art in the process of making this! i hope this brings you as much fun as it brought me!
TEMPO SURGE DEVLOG: #15 INSTRUCTIONS POP-UP alrighty, so after looking at my feedback, i decided to start with the instructions before a minigame. i have added a simple instruction box, with a button with the text “start” for whenever the player is ready to play. it was a bit difficult knowing how to tie in the button and make it so you can’t move the guitar while in the instructions page, but I found a good enough solution by adding a barrier that disappears on click. excited to improve this project!
TEMPO SURGE DEVLOG: #16 MORE INSTRUCTIONS + TRANSITION EFFECT i have completed the remaining instruction pop ups that were missing from the rest of the minigames, and also added a fade-in / fade-out transition effect! its pretty basic and i dont know how to feel about it, but its there! it was really hard figuring out why everything went pitch black, and i thought i had lost all of my progress for a second lol. i figured out that the node being a canvaslayer caused it to go pitch black, so i modified it so itd only work when it had to transition scenes and stuff. im not sure what else to add… but i want to keep working on it. maybe a new minigame?
TEMPO SURGE DEVLOG: #16 MINIGAME 7: BONGOS?! i have made a seventh minigame! it is really similar to my sixth minigame though, so i’ll probably switch this minigame to be one of the later minigames instead of being right after the sixth one, which is pressing down the trumpet keys in the way its highlighted. it was hard trying to reuse the sixth minigames code and convert it to a slightly different style for the bongos, but it worked out!
TEMPO SURGE DEVLOG: #17 MINIGAME 8: MEMORIZATION! okay, TECHNICALLY this is now the seventh minigame, i have swapped this minigame with the bongos so that the trumpet minigame and bongo minigame wouldnt be back to back, since i thought that was too similar of a mechanic to go back and forth. i have made a minigame where you must memorize the notes that are shown on the screen! you have one second to see em, then you must use your keyboard to type out what the notes were! it was finnicky trying to get each step to work, since it must be in order. you cant just press gadc and go through. after i got that to work, i had to overwrite the scenes so that their names would change. if i didnt overwrite, the level scene would not put the right level. think ima ship! also W stardance for getting extended!

Since my first ship, I have mainly just added some small features to increase the UX. A lot of these changes were features that I had seen on websites that I liked. So when the time came to bedazzle my website, I implemented these features in my own website. One really consistent thing that I noticed while implementing these features, is that a lot of features are quite simple to implement once you understand the basic logic. I also noticed that once you add these small features, it can make a great effect on the UX, and that the few hours you put into the little things, can have a huge impact and create a great impression on those who visit your website. New Features I added a cool gradient horizontal scroll bar that fills up as you scroll down. I thought this was a super cool feature and required some simple JS logic to implement. The next thing was a loading page. It is a quite simple one, just having a gradient filled circle outline which spins to show a loading effect. Again a small feature just to add nice feel from the moment a person opens the webpage. The next thing was a scroll fade up reveal to everything in the site. I really like seeing this effect on other websites as well, so I wanted to implement it into my website as well I added media queries because I saw how bad the website looked on the phone, and it was just really annoying me. So I took the time to add that just in case I ever had to show anyone my webpage on the phone. After that, I decided to upload some of my certificates onto the website so people could very them, just to add another level of validity. However, instead of making the images open in another tab, I made them open in a modal that stays in the browser tab. I thought this was a super cool effect. Last thing was that I added my photo. To do this, I made it so that when someone hovered over my about me card, it would have a flip animation and on the other side my photo would show. I thought this was a nice and subtle was to implement my photo, without messing up any other styling on the page. Learning JS A lot of these features were implemented with JS, especially ones that were triggered with user input. I will acknowledge that I used AI to help with understanding JS logic for some of these features, and debugging as well, but I also learned along the way. I find JS much more complicated than HTML and CSS, and I think that I have really come far in understanding and implementing it. For examples, I can assign elements and add and remove classes based on user input. I still have some trouble with syntax, and that causes a lot of my problems, but I am really starting to get the hang of JS. I think that JS can create some really neat animations and effects, so I want to learn and understand this language, so that I can let others experience the cool things that I see on other websites. Overall I spent a lot of time on this project, and put in hours even after school started. It is a really personal project. I have come really far since I first started this project and I have grown confident in understanding and writing code and achieve the desired results. I probably will not work on this project after this ship, and will instead turn to other projects that I have pending. Please enjoy this project. If you have any suggestions, let me know in the review or as a comment, and I will try to implement it. Thank You!! Below is a picture of my stardance certificate in the modal that I made, and the other is a picture of the spinning gradient loader.

Welcome to my Stardance project. In this project, I made a personal portfolio website so I could showcase my work. Especially as I enter high school this year, I wanted to have a platform to record all of my progress and have a way to display it to the public. I also wanted to get more experience with coding. Over the past few years, I have done like super mini project in HTML and CSS, but this website is one of my first fully developed projects, and that I have coded all by myself. So I took this opportunity to properly learn HTML and CSS, and also introduce myself to languages like JS and GLSL. Features The website has 6 sections that I made: Hero About Me Projects Experience Achievements Contact Here are some features of my website: The website has an interactive navbar which links to each section in the webpage. There is also a logo in the corner which will link to the Hero section. The navbar has a frosted glass look, which makes blurs the background behind it. The title in the Hero section (which is my name), has a rainbow gradient applied to it. The cool part is that the gradient moves and loops in the name, so the gradient is always moving slowly. This is actually applied to all of the section headings in the webpage. Each card in every section has a frosted glass look applied to it, so it will blur the background behind it. They also enlarge and brighten when you hover over them. The cursor is a small white dot instead of a regular cursor, which enlarges and turns light purple when hovering over a link to communicate to the user that the link is clickable and will lead somewhere. One of the main highlights is the background, which is a shader background made with GLSL, WebGL, and Three.js. The background is an animated gradient. It is also interactive as it will respond to the cursor on the screen. It is one of the key aspects that really make this website shine, and what really makes this project unique and different from other ones. The Easy and Hard Parts Easy Part There were some really easy parts while building this. One was building the HTML layout. After I understood the basics of making classes and organizing texts and everything, it was quite easy to start filling out info for all of the sections. I thought it would be like a really big thing to fill in all of that info, but turned out it wasn’t quite hard. Hard Part There were also hard parts. One main one was the shader background. First it took a really long time to code the first draft of that, as I had to make a shader in GLSL and then import Three.js, and all of that. But then that first draft didn’t work, so then it took me a really long time to debug the code as I had to look through everything for like typos and all that. I did use AI for this part, but it was still a really long and hard process, going back and forth trying to see what was wrong. But in the end it was totally worth it. Overall Overall, I spent a lot of time and effort in this project. One thing that I really wanted to do was make just that I documented all of my progress frequently in devlogs, and I think that I achieved that because all of the 13 devlogs that I have written are pretty detailed. I also wanted to make this unique to me, and I think that the shader background achieved that and just brought the project to a new level. I really hope you enjoy it, and I am happy to take any feedback. I hope to constantly keep updating this project over the next few years. Otherwise, I might add some new features to it (including a scroll bar) in the next month before Stardance ends and I get too busy with school. Below you can view some screenshots of each section of the website (it doesn’t let me upload a video, or else I would’ve done that).

I wanted to add a picture of myself in the website so I tried to find a way to do that. I decided that I will make it so that the about me card will flip when hovered over and on the other side will be my image. I thought it would be pretty simple, so I began working on it at 12 last night thinking I could finished it in about 30 minutes. Turns out I was wrong. It took me more than two hours just to get a card to flip and show my image. It was a pain, but the end result looks really neat. Current Progress To make the flip card, I had to restyle the entire about me section. I used a W3Schools tutorial, but i couldn’t end up working well with it, so then I turned to AI for debugging, because I had so many div layers for that card, and then I finally styled it to look good. The effect looks really good though. As well, I decided to publish everything to Github as well now because I hadn’t published anything for the past couple of days so yeah. Then I found a problem with the images not getting pulled correctly, so then I had to transfer all of those to a public/ folder and then adjust the file paths for all of them in my code, and then reload and redeploy like a bajillion times. So it was a lengthy process, but I finally got it working publically, Next Steps My next step is to ship. I really hope I get rated good because I want a pebble time 2. After this I will begin to work on my next project for the remainder of the event, which is a new tab page. After that, I am done with Stardance, as I also have a lot of school work now. So I will ship soon!!"}, {"post_id": 63201, "ts": "2026-09-06T21:23:17Z", "hours": 4.7169, "text": "Devlog #16 So I decided to implement some feedback that I got from the last ship. One piece of this was adding my actual certificates into the website, so people could actually view them in the webpage. So I took some time to scan all my certificates. Creating the links wasn’t quite hard, and at first I thought about just letting it open in a new tab, but then I decided to create a modal just to enhance the UX. Current Progress I decided to add all my certificates into the webpage, just to add a layer of validity to my work. The first part was finding all of the certificates. Whatever I had, I added them to my GitHub repo, and just linked the relative paths in the webpage. The ones which I had online, I just drag and dropped into the repo, while the physical ones I had to scan and then add in. So that took a while, but wasn’t too tedious of a process. After that, I just made a “View ->” sign that appears when you hover over the card, and that is actually a link to the image. Then I decided to make a modal. I realized it actually isn’t too hard, but the JS logic is a but complicated. I styled the modal in CSS, and then just added a .open class to it which was activated when you click the link. So I’m starting to understand JS logic, the only thing that I have trouble with now is writing like proper syntax, as I still have trouble with writing the correct syntax, and that can cause some problems. So then I styled how the image looks in the modal. At first I though about add ing a X to close the modal, but then I made it so then if you press outside the image, then the modal disappears. Some of my UCMAS achievements do not have images attached to them because I couldn’t find actualy certificates for them, so I might take pictures of my trophies to put there, but I haven’t got to that yet, and I don’t want to put low-quality images. So those are still empty, but almost everything else is filled, so now you can go and view those. Next Steps I literally don’t have anything left to do on this, so I think the next step is to just ship. I will take a break from this project and begin to work on my next one, which will be making a cool new tab page from my browser. So expect a ship soon. If anyone has any suggestions on something to add, you can let me know! Below is an image of my stardance certificate shown in the modal on the page."}, {"post_id": 57641, "ts": "2026-08-29T21:00:28Z", "hours": 2.5014, "text": "Devlog #15 This will be a fairly short devlog. I spent this block adding media queries to my CSS code because I opened the website on my phone, and it just looked so wrong to me, so I spent some time doing that. I figured out a great way to simulate a phone screen in my browser using DevTools so I was able to adjust everything through that. Current Progress The plan was that I was going to do media queries at first, but I thought it would be too complicated so I held it off. Now I was kinda forced to after seeing how bad the webpage looked on a phone screen. I realized you just have to make on CSS rule for media queries using media (max-width: 768px) {} . I decided to use 768px because that is like a standard width, but I mainly tested it on 400px width. After that, I opened two windows with my code and as I went through it, I would add a media query rule in the other window. So I conquered my fear of media queries, and addressed that issue. Next Steps I am looking for things to do. One piece of feedback that I got was that my cards had hover effects that made them look like buttons, but had no button effects, so it was kinda misleading. So to fix this, I’m thinking of like scanning my certificates and uploading them as pictures that people can view in the browser. So that’s my next step. To accompany this, I might also do like a redesign of the website, like just adjusting some of the features. Also, I’m thinking of adding a dark mode/light mode feature on it. Below is a quick video of the site on a device with a width of 400px."}, {"post_id": 53562, "ts": "2026-08-24T04:58:54Z", "hours": 4.0317, "text": "Devlog #14 So I started working on it further before my project even got fully rated, so this is my first devlog after shipping my portfolio! During this block, I just added some small features that just overall polished my site a bit more. A lot of these features were added in JS, and I think I actually am starting to get the hang of JS in the way that I actually am starting to understand how to identify objects using const and like how to select them using document.querySelector . So I think I am starting to learn, and just working with these little features just got me a little more familar with JS. I also got the hang of CSS animations, as before I had a little trouble understanding keyframes, but now it makes sense, so it was a good block. Current Progress I added three main things to my website, each of which use JS in them, and I will explain how. The first thing that I added was a scroll progress bar at the top. I really wanted to add this onto website, as I really liked seeing them on other websites, and I styled it to match my theme, and it just looks super good. I make a horizontal bar in my navbar for this, and it has a rainbow gradient. Basically, JS detects where the person is at the website, and just adjusts the scale based on that to show the bar. At first, I made it so it would expand as I scrolled, but then the rainbow was like squished at the beginning, and then I adjusted it so that it actually revealed the bar as I scrolled down, so like same idea but just applied to a different thing. I looks super cool now. The next thing that I added was a loading page. I tried to look into some videos for this, but I ended up making a super simple gradient ring that was animated (again to spin a rainbow). For this, I like made a loader page, which covered the whole view. In it, I made a circle which had a rainbow conic gradient, and then just animated it in CSS to rotate to 360 degrees over the course of like 1.2 seconds. I then used JS to add a class which made the loader disappear and like unresponsive to any pointer controls when the site finished loading. It also looks super good and totally matches the vibe of the site. So yeah, super happy with that. The last thing that I added was like a scroll fade up reveal effect to almost everything in my site, like the cards and the headings and everything. Again, this was a pretty simple trick that I used. Basically you set the object a set number of pixels (like I used 30px) down on the Y axis and turn the opacity down, and then when JS detects the object as the person scrolls, it just moves it up to 0px on the Y axis and goes to full opacity, and it ends up looking super sleek. That little touch just upped the whole website. I was actually looking to add this feature in the beginning of my site, but I never got to it mainly because it used JS, so now I took the chance to add it in. A lot of these features were ones that I saw in like cool websites. So like I’m always on the lookout for cool features, and these were some that I thought really made a website look more polished, and I realized that they are not actually that hard to build once you understand the core concept. Through these I really got better in JS, and upped my skills in CSS, so it was a good block. Next Steps I really do not have anything left to add in this project. Like I even added extra stuff. Please, if you guys have any suggestions, comment them so I can implement them. I will attach a video of my site so you guys can see what its like. One thing I might consider adding is like a easter egg thing or some like sequence or action that will generate a cool surprise. I have to still think about that. But right now I have almost nothing left to do. I actually might ship this again just to get the hours counted in. Below you can see the loading and the scroll fade up reveal and the scroll progress bar at the top."}, {"post_id": 48639, "ts": "2026-08-17T03:42:49Z", "hours": 7.0575, "text": "Devlog #13 (Last Devlog Before Ship) I am finally done with my website. Please read the NEXT STEPS section of this devlog as I have favour to ask you guys . I spent 7 hours of my life building a shader background for my website, but it totally paid off in the end because now I have a really cool, interactive, animated gradient background. I used GLSL to write a shader, and WebGL and Three.js to implement it into my website. I used a video tutorial and some AI debugging to achieve the effect, but it really was a learning process, as I had to install all the tools for it and then work with those, so I learned how to use those. Because of this, I also spent some time updating my README. Current Progress First of all, it took me a really long time to find a good tutorial to make a background, because I really wanted an animated one to show my blur effect and really add a pop to my website. To acheive a shader background I watched a video tutorial from Codegrid, which explained everything really nicely and was quite quick, so I was able to write the code. After though, the background didn’t quite show, so then I used the help of AI to help debug the code and get it working. After I finally got it to work, I spent some time adjusting colors, and brush strength and size, and then distortion amount and fluid decay and all of that stuff until I found the perfect values for a super good looking background. Overall, it was definately worth the time and added a really nice touch to my webpage. I also updated by README, because now the user will need to install some dependencies for this webpage because of the addition of Three.js and everything. So I updated the README to include proper instructions for that and so it explained some more features of my website. I really polished it up, because it was kinda messy before, so I got it ready for a ship. I also changed my cursor one last time. What I had before was a <div> element in HTML following my actual cursor using mousemove in JS, and my actual cursor was hidden in CSS. However, it was like lagging behind and that was starting to show on my new background. So instead, I just made my cursor a little white dot in CSS by liking making a svg file and linking it to the cursor. It just improved user interaction a lot be removing any lag between an following element and the actual cursor. There is still the feature where it will turn bigger and light purple when hovering over a link. Next Steps My next step is to ship!!! However, I have to ask you guys for something. I need some color suggestions for my background. I got a nice one right now that is like dark purplish, but I want your guys’ suggestions on what type of gradient I should make. I can put 4 colors into the gradient. You can use the attached video below to view how the shader looks on the hero page. I do have glass cards, so I don’t want something too light, but it could make a nice addition in a dark gradient. So please put some suggestions in the comments!!! Thank you!!! I will ship right after this, but I will for sure try to look over some color suggestions and experiment around with them. I might try to use one before I ship the final version of the website, so please put some suggestions. Expect a ship really soon."}, {"post_id": 46584, "ts": "2026-08-13T22:23:45Z", "hours": 4.4961, "text": "Devlog #12 This block was mainly dedicated towards making my site look a lot more aesthetic. I spent over 4 hours just tinkering with JS and fonts and color combos and everything, trying to find the perfect combos and fonts that looked super good. I am overall very happy with the progress that I made in this amount of time. At first I thought that the site looked good even without any styling because of my color gradients and all of that, but I just realized how much better it is with like better fonts, and like the small things, like moving gradients instead of static ones. So this whole block was just dedicated to making my site look better. Current Progress The first thing that I did was change my cursor. For this I had to use JS. I changed the cursor to just be like a little white dot with a nice glow around it, and then when it hovers over like a link, then it gets a bit bigger and turns into a light purple color. In JS, I figured out how to like grab an element from CSS, and then use like states, like mousemove to have like a specific action, and then like have the dot follow my actual cursor, but super close so it seems like that is the cursor. And then I hid my actual mouse to really sell the illusion. For the hover thing, I created a hover class in CSS, and then added that class when the mouse “entered” a link, and removed it when it “left” the link. The next thing I did was make the gradients on my text like circle around, so the gradient was always moving around and it looked like dynamic. I actually got this idea from the Hack Club website because in there they have a moving gradient on the text. For this, I actually did not need any JS, and instead just make a looping animation in CSS for the background of the text. I first did it only for the Hero title, but then I liked it so much that I added it to all of the section headings so yeah I thought was a really nice addition The next thing that I did was to edit my skill icons. I mentioned in a previous devlog when I was styling the About Me section, that the little subtitle for each skill was showing on the top of it, so then for skills in the bottom row, it was covering the skill on top. I also used JS for this fix. I first made a class for the subtitle on the bottom, and then again in JS made it so if it was detected to be lower, that class would apply The last thing I did was change the fonts. I am really happy I did this, because the site just looks so much better with different fonts. I imported all of my fonts from Google Fonts. I inserted the link in the <head> section and then used that font family in CSS. I did a lot of like comparing and swithcing around and researching and all of that just to find good fonts, and I have a really bad habit of like taking a lot of time on these kind of things, and it wasn’t even getting tracked on Hackatime, so I tried to do it quickly. I found some really nice fonts for the headings and titles so I am super happy with that. Next Steps Now the only thing left to do that I still havent gotten around to yet is making a really nice background in JS. I really want to make an animation background, because I think that will be like a unique aspect of my website. The main thing I really want that for is the glassmorphism effect that I have on the cards. On a plain dark background, you can’t tell at all that there is a glass effect. But with a sick background that moves, you can see that shapes blur under the cards. So I think that is the last thing to do, because I finished up all the small little details. However, I also think this will be the longest and hardest part because of its complexity in JS so yeah. I am really hoping to ship soon after 1 or 2 more devlogs. Below is a video of the new hero section with cool fonts and a moving gradient background."}, {"post_id": 45456, "ts": "2026-08-11T22:41:43Z", "hours": 3.7847, "text": "Devlog #11 I have finally finished styling my whole website in CSS. It was such a long process, but I really think that I learned how to code in CSS. Position and display no longer confuse me and I have gotten the hang of adding cool effects to me elements. I am really liking the theme of my website, but I still have more to do. Right now, I have a lot of empty space in my website. Because all of my cards are glassmorphism, I am planning to use JS to make really neat background just to add like a nice touch and really sell the website, but that might be after the first ship. I am also planning to change some fonts and all that, so still a lot to do. Current Progress I finished the Achievements and Contact section and also styled my footer. I made a masonry style layout for the achievements, and I think the design turned out really neat. At first, I thought I would use a flexbox or a grid, but then I saw that I could just make a fized number of columns and the text would just automatically arrange itself. So I used that instead of getting all tangled up in like flex and grid properties and all of that. But then it actually made it like vertically ordered, but I wanted it horizontally, so I took the time to like arrange them so that the layout would appear even and it would look like it was horizontally arranged, when in reality it is actually vertically arranged but in a weird way. It makes more sense when you look at it. I also finished the Contact section. This was quite easy. I just styled it like the Hero and added two little icons: one to my email, and the other to my github, so yeah that was pretty simple. I first thought of adding a contact form, but then I realized that that needed a backend, so I decided against that. Again, if I want, I might add it later in the future, but for now I will leave it at just to two icons. So mainly I finished those two sections in this block. One more cool thing that I discovered was how to make links open to a new page, because while I was trying out links it was bugging me that it was always opening in that page, so this really put my mind to ease a bit, and makes navigation a bit easier. Next Steps I am planning to ship very soon. I am thinking of just adding some finishing touches before shipping the first version, like some font changes. I might also just try to play around in JS, and like get a feel of it, Because I think that a cool background will really take it to the top, so I will play around a bit with that. i’m also thinking about adding like scroll up effects, especially for like my experience timeline. But yeah next steps might just to be to polish it up just a bit before shipping. I am super excited to try out JS, and hope that the final product will be awesome. Below is a picture of the masonry effect of the achievements section."}, {"post_id": 44357, "ts": "2026-08-10T02:05:02Z", "hours": 3.055, "text": "Devlog #10 I have finished the Experiences section of the website. This section was for sure a lot trickier than I thought it would be. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to arrange the boxes in a vertical but staggered order, so I could build the timeline. However, on the upside, I was able to quickly do styling, because a lot of the colors and like hover effects and everything was already set up in my code from styling the previous section, so that did not take too much time. Overall, I really like how this section turned out, and I think it is a bit different from the rest of the sections. Current Progress I completed the Experience section. This one is styled a bit differently from the other two. In this one, the timeline in centered and it goes longer than the length of the screen. The about me section and the projects section were all set to be as tall as the screen itself using height: 100dvh , but this one is actually dictated by the length of the cards, and then I added some padding at the bottom to separate it from the next section. The tricky part was to actually make the timeline affect. At first I did some research and thought or using pseudo elements in CSS to create a line through the middle of the page and arrange the boxes beside it. But that was way too complicated and didn’t seem to work for me, so I decided to arrange the boxes first and then add the line later. To arrange the boxes, I first centered them vertically in the middle of the screen, and then gave half of them one class and the other half another class. Then I pushed one class completely to the right, and the other to the left and that created a staggered timeline look. Then I needed to add a line through it. To do this, I created an empty <div> tag at the beginning of my experience section and then styled it as a line as long as my experience cards and then filled it with a rainbow gradient to kinda match my theme. I also added tiny circles using the same method to the timeline wherever their was a card to kinda just make it look cooler. I will acknowledge that I did use a bit of AI for this section to research the different ways to position the boxes, but otherwise I implemented all code by myself and I did not copy paste anything in. I really think this section introduced me to the flexibility in CSS, and how to manipulate different rules and elements to get the desired effect. Next Steps I am now going to work on the Achievements section. I am planning on making this section like a staggering kinda page of acheivements, like not quite even, just like a mosaic, because there is a lot of content in this section. For a kind of visualizer, I am planning to kinda style it like a pinterest page so like staggered and just fitting together. I just hope that it doesn’t turn out to jaggedy or uneven at the end of that part, and that it doesn’t take too long to organize them to look like at least like reasonably even at that. Hopefully I finish this section pretty quick, like just an hour or 2, and then I will quickly finish up the contact section as well, so then I will post a devlog of those two, but yeah I will see. I think I am getting close to a ship so keep an eye out for the next few days. Below you can see like the full experience timeline like zoomed out and I am hovering over the first card."}, {"post_id": 43667, "ts": "2026-08-09T01:57:34Z", "hours": 3.26, "text": "Devlog #9 I finished the Project section of the website. I also took some time to like style and experiment with some like hovering effects in the website. I also figured out how to color texts with gradients, so I changed all of my main section headings to cool colorful pastel gradients. I also made each glass card look cool when you hover over it. I also made some of the text like get bigger or show cool stuff when you hover over it. So yeah. I really think I am getting the hang of CSS. Most importantly, I think that I am able to use resources from the internet and apply them accordingly to my website. This block was mainly like a styling portion to kinda experiment and apply some aesthetics to my site. Current Progress I finished the Projects section. This section was much easier to arrange. Instead of using display: flexbox I used display: grid to help position each of the cards into an organized layout. What I really like about this display is that it automatically does all the math itself and gives each card its own equal amount of space so that they look even on the page. I got 4 nice cards for each project. I also styled the the heading to look like a gradient. I figured out that you make the background image a gradient, and then clip it to the text, and then just make the text clear so that the color shows. So I made all the headings look like that. Another thing that I did was use box-shadow to make the cards look cool when I hover over them. I realized that there are a lot of elements for the box-shadow, though once you figure them out, its not too complicated. So then I applied the box shadow effect to everything in the website that it would look good on. So yeah that was also a learning experience. I also figured out how to make a specific thing appear once you hover over like a bigger topic. So like I made some text a bit bigger or like an element appear when i hover over the whole card. You add the hover rule for the big card, and then add the class for the specific element, and then do your ending look. I used that for some things. So I really got some styling done to make my website like look better. Next Steps I will now work on the Experience section. I have around 6 cards for this. For this section, I am planning on making like a scrolling timeline to showcase like all of the past stuff in a chronological order. This might be tricky because up until now I was using the height: 100dvh to determine how big a section would be, but this one is going to have to different from that because of its scrolling nature. So yeah. But I think I am really getting the hang of positioning and display. and how to manipulate objects between different rules. I am starting to realize that code is not as strict as I thought it was. Like I thought everything needs to be like letter precise, but you have a bit space to improvise and experiment. So I can actually code a bit in CSS. I really enjoying styling things, like the gradient texts or like hover effects, so I am going to make sure to include those things in this next section as well. I am excited to get to work and encounter this new challenge. Below is a picture of the Projects sections and I am hovering over the first card, so you can see the hover effect."}, {"post_id": 43107, "ts": "2026-08-08T06:12:14Z", "hours": 3.0431, "text": "Devlog #8 I am finished the About Me section. I came across a problem though. In the pills, I want it to be like that when I hover over the pill, the name of that skill shows above it in a small text. However, pills in the bottom row, their text will start to hover into the pill of the next row, so that messes up the thing. BUT, if I add a space, it will look like a really weird gap between the rows. I did some research and I read that I might need to use some JS to fix, so like pills on the bottom, their text shows on the bottom, and pills on the top, their text shows on the top. So I am going to leave that for now, and work on it after I am done with the rest of the webpage. Current Progress Right now I finished position the stuff for the About Me section. I found this part really complicated, especially with the little icons. I ended up having to add more classes in my HTML to style them accordingly in CSS. Again, I still have a bit of problems with positioning, but I am starting to get the hang of like display , margin , padding , and gap , and how they work with different classes to arrange and organize everything. I also learned how to use transition to just make thing shift smoothly when you hover one them. This section took me a really long time because I had to arrange the about me text and all of my skills. I figured out where like display: relative and display: absolute are used, because I then had to arrange my text so that it was like positioned vertically 110% and horizontally 50% of the icon, so they helped in that. Otherwise, this part really familirized me a bit more with CSS. I especially got the hang of like background and border styling, and how to experiment with corner rounding and different colors and transitions and all of that, so I think this section was really a learning experience. Next Steps I will now begin to work on the Projects section. For this section I am just thinking making cards for each project each with a glassy effect behind it. Because I am giving each element like a glass effect, I am planning on making a super cool background later once I finished the site in JS so that the glass effect really shows and provides a unique aspect to my website. I think this section will be a lot simpler, but I will have to add more classes in HTML to do this I think. A tricky part might be to style the links, because I have links to all of my projects and their repositories, so yeah. Once I figure out the positioning of the cards, its practically smooth sailing from there, because like adjust font sizes and colors are like pretty easy for me. I might even make like the glass lighten up when I hover. One thing I want to experiment with is with box-shadow so that a shadow shows underneath the card. So I will play around with that. Otherwise, I am excited to continue working on this. The layout for this section is similar to the rest, so I think from here I will begin to quickly finish up the rest of the sections. You can view the about me page here. I am hovering over the HTML pill, and you can see the text over it."}, {"post_id": 41119, "ts": "2026-08-05T03:35:16Z", "hours": 3.1164, "text": "Devlog #7 I finished creating the navbar and have finally started on the CSS. Now because I am a complete beginner to CSS, I did use some help of AI just to kinda get the hang of like rules and all the different like properties. I DID NOT copy paste anything from AI. This is a project that I am doing to learn HTML and CSS. I actually want to learn this, and AI is just assisting me. I completed the navbar in CSS, and started on the Hero section. Right now positioning for CSS is confusing me a bit, so I need to work on that a bit more. The Hero was fairly easy as in the text, and I haven’t added much to it, but I figured out how to center it. The next steps will be to work on the about me section. Current Progress I finished up the navbar by quickly making a list of links at the very top of my html that went to each section. I also added a logo in the other corner (which is just my initials for now) which will link back to the hero page, like the top of the webpage. I was able to add a nice frosty glass effect the navbar, which was pretty simple. All you got to do is make the background like a little translucent and then add a blur effect. I thought it would be super hard, but it actually wasn’t. I am probably going to use this same formula for the glass cards of each section. My plan is to make them more interactive as I continue, but for right now I will just keep it at that. For the hero, the plan is to just make my name and a short subtitle below, and then add a cool effect around it. For now I just mapped out the area of the hero section. I realized that 100vh is the same as the whole area of the screen, so that is perfect for the hero section. I set the height to that. I also learned that you could access text from within sections that you have id’ed, ex. like I could access the <p> text in the hero section by using the rule #hero p {} so that was pretty neat. Like I mentioned, I used AI to help with some of the centering stuff, because there are a lot of rules for that. I also learned a lot about default positioning, and relative, and fixed positioning. I decided to use position: fixed; for the navbar so it stays on the page the whole time. I still need to get the hang of positioning, but as I begin the next sections, I think I will learn to do that on my own. Next Steps I finished the Hero section for now for CSS, so I will start with the About Me sections. Again this section will have like a blurb about me and then little icons of all of the skills that I know. This is for sure going to be a lot more trickier than the Hero section. My plan is to first try and do the basic styling on my own, and then refer to other resources to polish it up. I am probably going to use the glass effect for the about me blurb and then as a little background behind each icons, like a little drop. I am excited to get this part complete because right now I just have like a very long list of large images in the website, (which are the icons for the skills) that are taking up like the whole screen and I am so ready to get rid of those and just clean up the webpage a bit. After those are organized into the skills, then everything will just be a little cleaner. I am planning to organize the skills based on software, hardware, and then others. The icons are already organized in HTML, so I am excited to begin tomorrow on styling the next section. The navbar is glassy, its just because there is nothing under it to be blurred thats why it doesn’t show."}, {"post_id": 40465, "ts": "2026-08-04T00:41:21Z", "hours": 2.0869, "text": "Devlog #6 I have finally finished the HTML section. I have organized all of my sections and filled in enough information to make a complete portfolio website. I’m not going to worry about any more of the info and just continue on to CSS and styling my website, I think this is going to be a lot more tricky because now I have to arrange and order everything and make it look pleasing and smooth. Right now I am going for a darker vibe. I don’t have like a specific theme, but I might add like hints of color around the website. I am planning on making like cards that each have a glass morphism effect. Current Progress Right now I filled in the skills sections. Like I said before, I am planning to just show the icon on a glassy back. I am going to back it so that when the person hovers over it, it will show like a text of what the skill actually is like the name. I learned how to use a <snap> tag, which is kinda like <div> tag but it doesn’t need it’s own line, so you can kinda group things inside groups without like tabbing again. I put it on the labels for each skill so I could style it separately from the icon in CSS. I was able to get icons for every skill in there. I used Devicon for some programming languages and Flaticon for some of the other ones. I finally got the hang of images. They show on the preview so I think they will show in GitHub pages later as well when I publish them. I still have to see but I think that a succes because in my first devlog the images actually didn’t work, so this is good. Right now they are huge, but I will fix them in CSS. I put them all in the same class, so I think it won’t be too hard. Next Steps I actually forgot to make a navbar, so I will quickly make a navbar and then begin CSS. I don’t thing a navbar will be too hard because it is just links. I will most likely keep it as a header at the top, and just apply a nice glassmorphism effect to it. But yeah, I actually got to make a navbar in HTML, so not completely done with that, but after that I will for sure be done. I might not post a devlog after building the navbar and might just move onto CSS, but it depends on how much time it will take. If it takes more than an hour, then I’ll post a devlog, other than that, I wil post one after some work with CSS, maybe after making the hero section.

I think that the next devlog that I post will be the last one of HTML, and after that I will start to move onto CSS. Speaking of CSS, I am still deciding whether I want to experiment with JS for this project. I have no experience in JS, so it might be like a later thing I want to add after I finish the initial draft of the project. I think it will make it look super smooth with cool animations, but I am still deciding, I think the amount of time I will spend in CSS will decide whether I want to use JS or not. Current Progress I have now added some cards to the Awards section. This one did not take too long because I was able to figure out the tags quite easily because by now I have experimented a lot with them. One thing I learned how to do was to create lists in HTML. It was quite simple. Once you figure out the tags then it is pretty easy. I have a lot of awards that are like issued from a single organization and then some standalone ones, so I used the <ul> tag to create an unordered list and the <li> to add each item to my list. Overall I am planning to make like a card mosaic. Because they are all going to be like different sizes, so they will look kind of like a Pinterest post with like broken blocks, but fit nicely together. I think that will be the simplest way to style it in CSS right now, so I am going with that. Overall, this did not take as long as I expected. I actually already had a document ready, so many were just copied from there. Next Steps I have already filled out the Contact section. I just linked my email and added a little description. I don’t have a lot of forms of contact , so I am going to stick to just email. Now I am going to work on adding my skills, because that is in the about me section. I am not going to actually write it but instead add like little logos for each like skill so that is the next step. I am planning to separate them by like software, and hardware, and like other maybe, but I am going to work on that next.

I am still at the HTML portion. Right now the webpage looks like really bad when I view, and it’s tempting for me to move right to CSS to begin styling, but I think it will be easier for me in the long run if I finish all of the HTML now, at least all of the sections. Of course, if I move onto CSS, it won’t mean that I’m completely done with HTML, I will always be adding more stuff and I find ways to improve my website. Current Progress So before I had filled out the Projects section. I was working with GitHub a lot, uploading my projects so I could link them. I also had to use the Github desktop app to upload some files. Because I had opened the website repository in my VSCode desktop app, I think that something got mixed up, and the file didn’t save properly, so then my whole projects section got deleted. I had to spend some time filling that in again, though it wasn’t too hard the second time because the live preview in the browser still had the text in it, and I had already created all of the links again. Then I made sure that my files would autosave, and that the repository was properly linked. After I pushed the commits to Github to save it there, and I will do the same after posting this devlog. After that I began to fill in the Experience section, and that was mainly the majority of this time block. Again, I had to like go back and kinda figure out the dates of everything. I am thinking like a timeline style for this one, and that I will have like a little card for each thing. The plan is to make a scrolling website, so that each card will like appear as you scroll down. I have got a good solid like 6 cards of stuff, so for now I am done with that section. I learned more about like div and section tags during this. I also learned the effect of applying classes to text, as it seperates it from other text when styling it in CSS. I applied it to the date text in the experience sections, so that the time frame will be like a little substitle, different from the actual text in the card. Next Steps I am probably done for today. Next, I will start to work on the awards sections. A challenge will be to organize those sections because like I have many awards from a specific section but then some are just standalone, so I still a have to figure out how to organize the sections in HTML and how to apply the section and div tags. However, I don’t think I will use the section tag, as that may only be for sections that will be in the navbar. But organizing the awards using div and applying different classes will be tricky and hard to keep organizing. i want to make sure that I continue and keep my code nice and clean so that CSS styling is easy."}, {"post_id": 37296, "ts": "2026-07-29T22:04:53Z", "hours": 1.9631, "text": "Devlog #3 I have started to fill in some more information about myself in the webpage. The plan is that I will first constuct the HTML layout and fill in all of the sections. Because I am still a high student, my portfolio will look a bit different because I am not actually advertising a service or anything like that. The order that I am planning to go in is the following: Hero About Me (along with skills) Projects Experience Achievements/Awards Contact Current Progress Right now I have constructed each of the sections in HTML. I am using the section tag to separate each of the parts that I just described above so that I can link them using a navbar, though I have not created anything for a navbar yet. One thing that confused me for a while was the difference between section and div tags. After some research, I realized that section actually separates the parts in the HTML file, while the div just like adds an invisible containor around the parts and doesn’t actually effect the HTMl at all. It just like groups them together. The section tag is great for the navbar. I am using the div tag for like sub sections, like for an individual project within the Projects section. This will help later with design as I am planning to make like each project a card on the screen. That brings me to my next thing. Right now I have filled in around 3 projects that I have made. The biggest hurdle was that not all of them were on Github, so I had to go back into my files and like refresh by brain on those past projects. I wanted to have links to projects in the website, so some of my past projects, I had to spend like an hour or two just trying to upload those and get the repositories set. I have attched 3 projects so far. I will probably add more, but for now I think I will move on Next Steps Next, I am going to start filling in some of the other sections, like the About Me section. I am still thinking on how to display the Experience section, but I will start filling in that section too. I will also begin to organize like the subsections for each section and begin to build a navbar. By the end of the week, I hope to have like a basic HTML structure with all of the sections roughly filled in, and then I will move onto CSS. I think the biggest challenge will be to organize everything neatly for experiences and achievements.

Title: My Portfolio by @Harpaavan108 | Stardance
Devlogs:
My personal site. Right now I am just getting started on this website. Mainly this project will be for me to learn basic HTML and some more CSS code. I want the end goal to be a nice smooth and polished site. I have still yet to pick a theme. Right now the only hurdle I have encountered is that the image isn’t uploading properly into the website, so I will be looking into that and trying to fix that. Otherwise I am only planning to spend a couple more hours. I might plan to make this a personal portfolio site for myself as I enter high school to help showcase some of my experiences and achievements. But I am still deciding on the theme. And that will be in a later devlog.
I have kinda gotten a sense of how I want my site to be like. For the portfolio, I will kinda have around 5 sections: Hero, About Me, Projects, Achievements. and Contact. I am think of a kinda dark aesthethic theme with neon accents in there. I am also thinking that I will make like each section themed to what I have achievemed or what is added in that section. Right now I have added a gradient to my background and written some stuff in the about me section. I have also added a link to my astrobounce project which is also here on stardance.
Devlog #3 I have started to fill in some more information about myself in the webpage. The plan is that I will first constuct the HTML layout and fill in all of the sections. Because I am still a high student, my portfolio will look a bit different because I am not actually advertising a service or anything like that. The order that I am planning to go in is the following: Hero About Me (along with skills) Projects Experience Achievements/Awards Contact Current Progress Right now I have constructed each of the sections in HTML. I am using the section tag to separate each of the parts that I just described above so that I can link them using a navbar, though I have not created anything for a navbar yet. One thing that confused me for a while was the difference between section and div tags. After some research, I realized that section actually separates the parts in the HTML file, while the div just like adds an invisible containor around the parts and doesn’t actually effect the HTMl at all. It just like groups them together. The section tag is great for the navbar. I am using the div tag for like sub sections, like for an individual project within the Projects section. This will help later with design as I am planning to make like each project a card on the screen. That brings me to my next thing. Right now I have filled in around 3 projects that I have made. The biggest hurdle was that not all of them were on Github, so I had to go back into my files and like refresh by brain on those past projects. I wanted to have links to projects in the website, so some of my past projects, I had to spend like an hour or two just trying to upload those and get the repositories set. I have attched 3 projects so far. I will probably add more, but for now I think I will move on Next Steps Next, I am going to start filling in some of the other sections, like the About Me section. I am still thinking on how to display the Experience section, but I will start filling in that section too. I will also begin to organize like the subsections for each section and begin to build a navbar. By the end of the week, I hope to have like a basic HTML structure with all of the sections roughly filled in, and then I will move onto CSS. I think the biggest challenge will be to organize everything neatly for experiences and achievements. But otherwise I am looking forward to start filling those in.
Devlog #4 I have filled in some more sections of my webpage. I am still at the HTML portion. Right now the webpage looks like really bad when I view, and it’s tempting for me to move right to CSS to begin styling, but I think it will be easier for me in the long run if I finish all of the HTML now, at least all of the sections. Of course, if I move onto CSS, it won’t mean that I’m completely done with HTML, I will always be adding more stuff and I find ways to improve my website. Current Progress So before I had filled out the Projects section. I was working with GitHub a lot, uploading my projects so I could link them. I also had to use the Github desktop app to upload some files. Because I had opened the website repository in my VSCode desktop app, I think that something got mixed up, and the file didn’t save properly, so then my whole projects section got deleted. I had to spend some time filling that in again, though it wasn’t too hard the second time because the live preview in the browser still had the text in it, and I had already created all of the links again. Then I made sure that my files would autosave, and that the repository was properly linked. After I pushed the commits to Github to save it there, and I will do the same after posting this devlog. After that I began to fill in the Experience section, and that was mainly the majority of this time block. Again, I had to like go back and kinda figure out the dates of everything. I am thinking like a timeline style for this one, and that I will have like a little card for each thing. The plan is to make a scrolling website, so that each card will like appear as you scroll down. I have got a good solid like 6 cards of stuff, so for now I am done with that section. I learned more about like div and section tags during this. I also learned the effect of applying classes to text, as it seperates it from other text when styling it in CSS. I applied it to the date text in the experience sections, so that the time frame will be like a little substitle, different from the actual text in the card. Next Steps I am probably done for today. Next, I will start to work on the awards sections. A challenge will be to organize those sections because like I have many awards from a specific section but then some are just standalone, so I still a have to figure out how to organize the sections in HTML and how to apply the section and div tags. However, I don’t think I will use the section tag, as that may only be for sections that will be in the navbar. But organizing the awards using div and applying different classes will be tricky and hard to keep organizing. i want to make sure that I continue and keep my code nice and clean so that CSS styling is easy.
Devlog #5 I am still working on the HTML portion, but I am nearing completion. I think that the next devlog that I post will be the last one of HTML, and after that I will start to move onto CSS. Speaking of CSS, I am still deciding whether I want to experiment with JS for this project. I have no experience in JS, so it might be like a later thing I want to add after I finish the initial draft of the project. I think it will make it look super smooth with cool animations, but I am still deciding, I think the amount of time I will spend in CSS will decide whether I want to use JS or not. Current Progress I have now added some cards to the Awards section. This one did not take too long because I was able to figure out the tags quite easily because by now I have experimented a lot with them. One thing I learned how to do was to create lists in HTML. It was quite simple. Once you figure out the tags then it is pretty easy. I have a lot of awards that are like issued from a single organization and then some standalone ones, so I used the <ul> tag to create an unordered list and the <li> to add each item to my list. Overall I am planning to make like a card mosaic. Because they are all going to be like different sizes, so they will look kind of like a Pinterest post with like broken blocks, but fit nicely together. I think that will be the simplest way to style it in CSS right now, so I am going with that. Overall, this did not take as long as I expected. I actually already had a document ready, so many were just copied from there. Next Steps I have already filled out the Contact section. I just linked my email and added a little description. I don’t have a lot of forms of contact , so I am going to stick to just email. Now I am going to work on adding my skills, because that is in the about me section. I am not going to actually write it but instead add like little logos for each like skill so that is the next step. I am planning to separate them by like software, and hardware, and like other maybe, but I am going to work on that next. Again I hope that the next devlog will be the last for HTML before I begin CSS.
Devlog #6 I have finally finished the HTML section. I have organized all of my sections and filled in enough information to make a complete portfolio website. I’m not going to worry about any more of the info and just continue on to CSS and styling my website, I think this is going to be a lot more tricky because now I have to arrange and order everything and make it look pleasing and smooth. Right now I am going for a darker vibe. I don’t have like a specific theme, but I might add like hints of color around the website. I am planning on making like cards that each have a glass morphism effect. Current Progress Right now I filled in the skills sections. Like I said before, I am planning to just show the icon on a glassy back. I am going to back it so that when the person hovers over it, it will show like a text of what the skill actually is like the name. I learned how to use a <snap> tag, which is kinda like <div> tag but it doesn’t need it’s own line, so you can kinda group things inside groups without like tabbing again. I put it on the labels for each skill so I could style it separately from the icon in CSS. I was able to get icons for every skill in there. I used Devicon for some programming languages and Flaticon for some of the other ones. I finally got the hang of images. They show on the preview so I think they will show in GitHub pages later as well when I publish them. I still have to see but I think that a succes because in my first devlog the images actually didn’t work, so this is good. Right now they are huge, but I will fix them in CSS. I put them all in the same class, so I think it won’t be too hard. Next Steps I actually forgot to make a navbar, so I will quickly make a navbar and then begin CSS. I don’t thing a navbar will be too hard because it is just links. I will most likely keep it as a header at the top, and just apply a nice glassmorphism effect to it. But yeah, I actually got to make a navbar in HTML, so not completely done with that, but after that I will for sure be done. I might not post a devlog after building the navbar and might just move onto CSS, but it depends on how much time it will take. If it takes more than an hour, then I’ll post a devlog, other than that, I wil post one after some work with CSS, maybe after making the hero section. Below are the some of the image from Flaticon
Devlog #7 I finished creating the navbar and have finally started on the CSS. Now because I am a complete beginner to CSS, I did use some help of AI just to kinda get the hang of like rules and all the different like properties. I DID NOT copy paste anything from AI. This is a project that I am doing to learn HTML and CSS. I actually want to learn this, and AI is just assisting me. I completed the navbar in CSS, and started on the Hero section. Right now positioning for CSS is confusing me a bit, so I need to work on that a bit more. The Hero was fairly easy as in the text, and I haven’t added much to it, but I figured out how to center it. The next steps will be to work on the about me section. Current Progress I finished up the navbar by quickly making a list of links at the very top of my html that went to each section. I also added a logo in the other corner (which is just my initials for now) which will link back to the hero page, like the top of the webpage. I was able to add a nice frosty glass effect the navbar, which was pretty simple. All you got to do is make the background like a little translucent and then add a blur effect. I thought it would be super hard, but it actually wasn’t. I am probably going to use this same formula for the glass cards of each section. My plan is to make them more interactive as I continue, but for right now I will just keep it at that. For the hero, the plan is to just make my name and a short subtitle below, and then add a cool effect around it. For now I just mapped out the area of the hero section. I realized that 100vh is the same as the whole area of the screen, so that is perfect for the hero section. I set the height to that. I also learned that you could access text from within sections that you have id’ed, ex. like I could access the <p> text in the hero section by using the rule #hero p {} so that was pretty neat. Like I mentioned, I used AI to help with some of the centering stuff, because there are a lot of rules for that. I also learned a lot about default positioning, and relative, and fixed positioning. I decided to use position: fixed; for the navbar so it stays on the page the whole time. I still need to get the hang of positioning, but as I begin the next sections, I think I will learn to do that on my own. Next Steps I finished the Hero section for now for CSS, so I will start with the About Me sections. Again this section will have like a blurb about me and then little icons of all of the skills that I know. This is for sure going to be a lot more trickier than the Hero section. My plan is to first try and do the basic styling on my own, and then refer to other resources to polish it up. I am probably going to use the glass effect for the about me blurb and then as a little background behind each icons, like a little drop. I am excited to get this part complete because right now I just have like a very long list of large images in the website, (which are the icons for the skills) that are taking up like the whole screen and I am so ready to get rid of those and just clean up the webpage a bit. After those are organized into the skills, then everything will just be a little cleaner. I am planning to organize the skills based on software, hardware, and then others. The icons are already organized in HTML, so I am excited to begin tomorrow on styling the next section. The navbar is glassy, its just because there is nothing under it to be blurred thats why it doesn’t show.
Devlog #8 I am finished the About Me section. I came across a problem though. In the pills, I want it to be like that when I hover over the pill, the name of that skill shows above it in a small text. However, pills in the bottom row, their text will start to hover into the pill of the next row, so that messes up the thing. BUT, if I add a space, it will look like a really weird gap between the rows. I did some research and I read that I might need to use some JS to fix, so like pills on the bottom, their text shows on the bottom, and pills on the top, their text shows on the top. So I am going to leave that for now, and work on it after I am done with the rest of the webpage. Current Progress Right now I finished position the stuff for the About Me section. I found this part really complicated, especially with the little icons. I ended up having to add more classes in my HTML to style them accordingly in CSS. Again, I still have a bit of problems with positioning, but I am starting to get the hang of like display , margin , padding , and gap , and how they work with different classes to arrange and organize everything. I also learned how to use transition to just make thing shift smoothly when you hover one them. This section took me a really long time because I had to arrange the about me text and all of my skills. I figured out where like display: relative and display: absolute are used, because I then had to arrange my text so that it was like positioned vertically 110% and horizontally 50% of the icon, so they helped in that. Otherwise, this part really familirized me a bit more with CSS. I especially got the hang of like background and border styling, and how to experiment with corner rounding and different colors and transitions and all of that, so I think this section was really a learning experience. Next Steps I will now begin to work on the Projects section. For this section I am just thinking making cards for each project each with a glassy effect behind it. Because I am giving each element like a glass effect, I am planning on making a super cool background later once I finished the site in JS so that the glass effect really shows and provides a unique aspect to my website. I think this section will be a lot simpler, but I will have to add more classes in HTML to do this I think. A tricky part might be to style the links, because I have links to all of my projects and their repositories, so yeah. Once I figure out the positioning of the cards, its practically smooth sailing from there, because like adjust font sizes and colors are like pretty easy for me. I might even make like the glass lighten up when I hover. One thing I want to experiment with is with box-shadow so that a shadow shows underneath the card. So I will play around with that. Otherwise, I am excited to continue working on this. The layout for this section is similar to the rest, so I think from here I will begin to quickly finish up the rest of the sections. You can view the about me page here. I am hovering over the HTML pill, and you can see the text over it.
Devlog #9 I finished the Project section of the website. I also took some time to like style and experiment with some like hovering effects in the website. I also figured out how to color texts with gradients, so I changed all of my main section headings to cool colorful pastel gradients. I also made each glass card look cool when you hover over it. I also made some of the text like get bigger or show cool stuff when you hover over it. So yeah. I really think I am getting the hang of CSS. Most importantly, I think that I am able to use resources from the internet and apply them accordingly to my website. This block was mainly like a styling portion to kinda experiment and apply some aesthetics to my site. Current Progress I finished the Projects section. This section was much easier to arrange. Instead of using display: flexbox I used display: grid to help position each of the cards into an organized layout. What I really like about this display is that it automatically does all the math itself and gives each card its own equal amount of space so that they look even on the page. I got 4 nice cards for each project. I also styled the the heading to look like a gradient. I figured out that you make the background image a gradient, and then clip it to the text, and then just make the text clear so that the color shows. So I made all the headings look like that. Another thing that I did was use box-shadow to make the cards look cool when I hover over them. I realized that there are a lot of elements for the box-shadow, though once you figure them out, its not too complicated. So then I applied the box shadow effect to everything in the website that it would look good on. So yeah that was also a learning experience. I also figured out how to make a specific thing appear once you hover over like a bigger topic. So like I made some text a bit bigger or like an element appear when i hover over the whole card. You add the hover rule for the big card, and then add the class for the specific element, and then do your ending look. I used that for some things. So I really got some styling done to make my website like look better. Next Steps I will now work on the Experience section. I have around 6 cards for this. For this section, I am planning on making like a scrolling timeline to showcase like all of the past stuff in a chronological order. This might be tricky because up until now I was using the height: 100dvh to determine how big a section would be, but this one is going to have to different from that because of its scrolling nature. So yeah. But I think I am really getting the hang of positioning and display. and how to manipulate objects between different rules. I am starting to realize that code is not as strict as I thought it was. Like I thought everything needs to be like letter precise, but you have a bit space to improvise and experiment. So I can actually code a bit in CSS. I really enjoying styling things, like the gradient texts or like hover effects, so I am going to make sure to include those things in this next section as well. I am excited to get to work and encounter this new challenge. Below is a picture of the Projects sections and I am hovering over the first card, so you can see the hover effect.
Devlog #10 I have finished the Experiences section of the website. This section was for sure a lot trickier than I thought it would be. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to arrange the boxes in a vertical but staggered order, so I could build the timeline. However, on the upside, I was able to quickly do styling, because a lot of the colors and like hover effects and everything was already set up in my code from styling the previous section, so that did not take too much time. Overall, I really like how this section turned out, and I think it is a bit different from the rest of the sections. Current Progress I completed the Experience section. This one is styled a bit differently from the other two. In this one, the timeline in centered and it goes longer than the length of the screen. The about me section and the projects section were all set to be as tall as the screen itself using height: 100dvh , but this one is actually dictated by the length of the cards, and then I added some padding at the bottom to separate it from the next section. The tricky part was to actually make the timeline affect. At first I did some research and thought or using pseudo elements in CSS to create a line through the middle of the page and arrange the boxes beside it. But that was way too complicated and didn’t seem to work for me, so I decided to arrange the boxes first and then add the line later. To arrange the boxes, I first centered them vertically in the middle of the screen, and then gave half of them one class and the other half another class. Then I pushed one class completely to the right, and the other to the left and that created a staggered timeline look. Then I needed to add a line through it. To do this, I created an empty <div> tag at the beginning of my experience section and then styled it as a line as long as my experience cards and then filled it with a rainbow gradient to kinda match my theme. I also added tiny circles using the same method to the timeline wherever their was a card to kinda just make it look cooler. I will acknowledge that I did use a bit of AI for this section to research the different ways to position the boxes, but otherwise I implemented all code by myself and I did not copy paste anything in. I really think this section introduced me to the flexibility in CSS, and how to manipulate different rules and elements to get the desired effect. Next Steps I am now going to work on the Achievements section. I am planning on making this section like a staggering kinda page of acheivements, like not quite even, just like a mosaic, because there is a lot of content in this section. For a kind of visualizer, I am planning to kinda style it like a pinterest page so like staggered and just fitting together. I just hope that it doesn’t turn out to jaggedy or uneven at the end of that part, and that it doesn’t take too long to organize them to look like at least like reasonably even at that. Hopefully I finish this section pretty quick, like just an hour or 2, and then I will quickly finish up the contact section as well, so then I will post a devlog of those two, but yeah I will see. I think I am getting close to a ship so keep an eye out for the next few days. Below you can see like the full experience timeline like zoomed out and I am hovering over the first card.
Devlog #11 I have finally finished styling my whole website in CSS. It was such a long process, but I really think that I learned how to code in CSS. Position and display no longer confuse me and I have gotten the hang of adding cool effects to me elements. I am really liking the theme of my website, but I still have more to do. Right now, I have a lot of empty space in my website. Because all of my cards are glassmorphism, I am planning to use JS to make really neat background just to add like a nice touch and really sell the website, but that might be after the first ship. I am also planning to change some fonts and all that, so still a lot to do. Current Progress I finished the Achievements and Contact section and also styled my footer. I made a masonry style layout for the achievements, and I think the design turned out really neat. At first, I thought I would use a flexbox or a grid, but then I saw that I could just make a fized number of columns and the text would just automatically arrange itself. So I used that instead of getting all tangled up in like flex and grid properties and all of that. But then it actually made it like vertically ordered, but I wanted it horizontally, so I took the time to like arrange them so that the layout would appear even and it would look like it was horizontally arranged, when in reality it is actually vertically arranged but in a weird way. It makes more sense when you look at it. I also finished the Contact section. This was quite easy. I just styled it like the Hero and added two little icons: one to my email, and the other to my github, so yeah that was pretty simple. I first thought of adding a contact form, but then I realized that that needed a backend, so I decided against that. Again, if I want, I might add it later in the future, but for now I will leave it at just to two icons. So mainly I finished those two sections in this block. One more cool thing that I discovered was how to make links open to a new page, because while I was trying out links it was bugging me that it was always opening in that page, so this really put my mind to ease a bit, and makes navigation a bit easier. Next Steps I am planning to ship very soon. I am thinking of just adding some finishing touches before shipping the first version, like some font changes. I might also just try to play around in JS, and like get a feel of it, Because I think that a cool background will really take it to the top, so I will play around a bit with that. i’m also thinking about adding like scroll up effects, especially for like my experience timeline. But yeah next steps might just to be to polish it up just a bit before shipping. I am super excited to try out JS, and hope that the final product will be awesome. Below is a picture of the masonry effect of the achievements section.
Devlog #12 This block was mainly dedicated towards making my site look a lot more aesthetic. I spent over 4 hours just tinkering with JS and fonts and color combos and everything, trying to find the perfect combos and fonts that looked super good. I am overall very happy with the progress that I made in this amount of time. At first I thought that the site looked good even without any styling because of my color gradients and all of that, but I just realized how much better it is with like better fonts, and like the small things, like moving gradients instead of static ones. So this whole block was just dedicated to making my site look better. Current Progress The first thing that I did was change my cursor. For this I had to use JS. I changed the cursor to just be like a little white dot with a nice glow around it, and then when it hovers over like a link, then it gets a bit bigger and turns into a light purple color. In JS, I figured out how to like grab an element from CSS, and then use like states, like mousemove to have like a specific action, and then like have the dot follow my actual cursor, but super close so it seems like that is the cursor. And then I hid my actual mouse to really sell the illusion. For the hover thing, I created a hover class in CSS, and then added that class when the mouse “entered” a link, and removed it when it “left” the link. The next thing I did was make the gradients on my text like circle around, so the gradient was always moving around and it looked like dynamic. I actually got this idea from the Hack Club website because in there they have a moving gradient on the text. For this, I actually did not need any JS, and instead just make a looping animation in CSS for the background of the text. I first did it only for the Hero title, but then I liked it so much that I added it to all of the section headings so yeah I thought was a really nice addition The next thing that I did was to edit my skill icons. I mentioned in a previous devlog when I was styling the About Me section, that the little subtitle for each skill was showing on the top of it, so then for skills in the bottom row, it was covering the skill on top. I also used JS for this fix. I first made a class for the subtitle on the bottom, and then again in JS made it so if it was detected to be lower, that class would apply The last thing I did was change the fonts. I am really happy I did this, because the site just looks so much better with different fonts. I imported all of my fonts from Google Fonts. I inserted the link in the <head> section and then used that font family in CSS. I did a lot of like comparing and swithcing around and researching and all of that just to find good fonts, and I have a really bad habit of like taking a lot of time on these kind of things, and it wasn’t even getting tracked on Hackatime, so I tried to do it quickly. I found some really nice fonts for the headings and titles so I am super happy with that. Next Steps Now the only thing left to do that I still havent gotten around to yet is making a really nice background in JS. I really want to make an animation background, because I think that will be like a unique aspect of my website. The main thing I really want that for is the glassmorphism effect that I have on the cards. On a plain dark background, you can’t tell at all that there is a glass effect. But with a sick background that moves, you can see that shapes blur under the cards. So I think that is the last thing to do, because I finished up all the small little details. However, I also think this will be the longest and hardest part because of its complexity in JS so yeah. I am really hoping to ship soon after 1 or 2 more devlogs. Below is a video of the new hero section with cool fonts and a moving gradient background.
Devlog #13 (Last Devlog Before Ship) I am finally done with my website. Please read the NEXT STEPS section of this devlog as I have favour to ask you guys . I spent 7 hours of my life building a shader background for my website, but it totally paid off in the end because now I have a really cool, interactive, animated gradient background. I used GLSL to write a shader, and WebGL and Three.js to implement it into my website. I used a video tutorial and some AI debugging to achieve the effect, but it really was a learning process, as I had to install all the tools for it and then work with those, so I learned how to use those. Because of this, I also spent some time updating my README. Current Progress First of all, it took me a really long time to find a good tutorial to make a background, because I really wanted an animated one to show my blur effect and really add a pop to my website. To acheive a shader background I watched a video tutorial from Codegrid, which explained everything really nicely and was quite quick, so I was able to write the code. After though, the background didn’t quite show, so then I used the help of AI to help debug the code and get it working. After I finally got it to work, I spent some time adjusting colors, and brush strength and size, and then distortion amount and fluid decay and all of that stuff until I found the perfect values for a super good looking background. Overall, it was definately worth the time and added a really nice touch to my webpage. I also updated by README, because now the user will need to install some dependencies for this webpage because of the addition of Three.js and everything. So I updated the README to include proper instructions for that and so it explained some more features of my website. I really polished it up, because it was kinda messy before, so I got it ready for a ship. I also changed my cursor one last time. What I had before was a <div> element in HTML following my actual cursor using mousemove in JS, and my actual cursor was hidden in CSS. However, it was like lagging behind and that was starting to show on my new background. So instead, I just made my cursor a little white dot in CSS by liking making a svg file and linking it to the cursor. It just improved user interaction a lot be removing any lag between an following element and the actual cursor. There is still the feature where it will turn bigger and light purple when hovering over a link. Next Steps My next step is to ship!!! However, I have to ask you guys for something. I need some color suggestions for my background. I got a nice one right now that is like dark purplish, but I want your guys’ suggestions on what type of gradient I should make. I can put 4 colors into the gradient. You can use the attached video below to view how the shader looks on the hero page. I do have glass cards, so I don’t want something too light, but it could make a nice addition in a dark gradient. So please put some suggestions in the comments!!! Thank you!!! I will ship right after this, but I will for sure try to look over some color suggestions and experiment around with them. I might try to use one before I ship the final version of the website, so please put some suggestions. Expect a ship really soon.
Devlog #14 So I started working on it further before my project even got fully rated, so this is my first devlog after shipping my portfolio! During this block, I just added some small features that just overall polished my site a bit more. A lot of these features were added in JS, and I think I actually am starting to get the hang of JS in the way that I actually am starting to understand how to identify objects using const and like how to select them using document.querySelector . So I think I am starting to learn, and just working with these little features just got me a little more familar with JS. I also got the hang of CSS animations, as before I had a little trouble understanding keyframes, but now it makes sense, so it was a good block. Current Progress I added three main things to my website, each of which use JS in them, and I will explain how. The first thing that I added was a scroll progress bar at the top. I really wanted to add this onto website, as I really liked seeing them on other websites, and I styled it to match my theme, and it just looks super good. I make a horizontal bar in my navbar for this, and it has a rainbow gradient. Basically, JS detects where the person is at the website, and just adjusts the scale based on that to show the bar. At first, I made it so it would expand as I scrolled, but then the rainbow was like squished at the beginning, and then I adjusted it so that it actually revealed the bar as I scrolled down, so like same idea but just applied to a different thing. I looks super cool now. The next thing that I added was a loading page. I tried to look into some videos for this, but I ended up making a super simple gradient ring that was animated (again to spin a rainbow). For this, I like made a loader page, which covered the whole view. In it, I made a circle which had a rainbow conic gradient, and then just animated it in CSS to rotate to 360 degrees over the course of like 1.2 seconds. I then used JS to add a class which made the loader disappear and like unresponsive to any pointer controls when the site finished loading. It also looks super good and totally matches the vibe of the site. So yeah, super happy with that. The last thing that I added was like a scroll fade up reveal effect to almost everything in my site, like the cards and the headings and everything. Again, this was a pretty simple trick that I used. Basically you set the object a set number of pixels (like I used 30px) down on the Y axis and turn the opacity down, and then when JS detects the object as the person scrolls, it just moves it up to 0px on the Y axis and goes to full opacity, and it ends up looking super sleek. That little touch just upped the whole website. I was actually looking to add this feature in the beginning of my site, but I never got to it mainly because it used JS, so now I took the chance to add it in. A lot of these features were ones that I saw in like cool websites. So like I’m always on the lookout for cool features, and these were some that I thought really made a website look more polished, and I realized that they are not actually that hard to build once you understand the core concept. Through these I really got better in JS, and upped my skills in CSS, so it was a good block. Next Steps I really do not have anything left to add in this project. Like I even added extra stuff. Please, if you guys have any suggestions, comment them so I can implement them. I will attach a video of my site so you guys can see what its like. One thing I might consider adding is like a easter egg thing or some like sequence or action that will generate a cool surprise. I have to still think about that. But right now I have almost nothing left to do. I actually might ship this again just to get the hours counted in. Below you can see the loading and the scroll fade up reveal and the scroll progress bar at the top.
Devlog #15 This will be a fairly short devlog. I spent this block adding media queries to my CSS code because I opened the website on my phone, and it just looked so wrong to me, so I spent some time doing that. I figured out a great way to simulate a phone screen in my browser using DevTools so I was able to adjust everything through that. Current Progress The plan was that I was going to do media queries at first, but I thought it would be too complicated so I held it off. Now I was kinda forced to after seeing how bad the webpage looked on a phone screen. I realized you just have to make on CSS rule for media queries using media (max-width: 768px) {} . I decided to use 768px because that is like a standard width, but I mainly tested it on 400px width. After that, I opened two windows with my code and as I went through it, I would add a media query rule in the other window. So I conquered my fear of media queries, and addressed that issue. Next Steps I am looking for things to do. One piece of feedback that I got was that my cards had hover effects that made them look like buttons, but had no button effects, so it was kinda misleading. So to fix this, I’m thinking of like scanning my certificates and uploading them as pictures that people can view in the browser. So that’s my next step. To accompany this, I might also do like a redesign of the website, like just adjusting some of the features. Also, I’m thinking of adding a dark mode/light mode feature on it. Below is a quick video of the site on a device with a width of 400px.
Devlog #16 So I decided to implement some feedback that I got from the last ship. One piece of this was adding my actual certificates into the website, so people could actually view them in the webpage. So I took some time to scan all my certificates. Creating the links wasn’t quite hard, and at first I thought about just letting it open in a new tab, but then I decided to create a modal just to enhance the UX. Current Progress I decided to add all my certificates into the webpage, just to add a layer of validity to my work. The first part was finding all of the certificates. Whatever I had, I added them to my GitHub repo, and just linked the relative paths in the webpage. The ones which I had online, I just drag and dropped into the repo, while the physical ones I had to scan and then add in. So that took a while, but wasn’t too tedious of a process. After that, I just made a “View ->” sign that appears when you hover over the card, and that is actually a link to the image. Then I decided to make a modal. I realized it actually isn’t too hard, but the JS logic is a but complicated. I styled the modal in CSS, and then just added a .open class to it which was activated when you click the link. So I’m starting to understand JS logic, the only thing that I have trouble with now is writing like proper syntax, as I still have trouble with writing the correct syntax, and that can cause some problems. So then I styled how the image looks in the modal. At first I though about add ing a X to close the modal, but then I made it so then if you press outside the image, then the modal disappears. Some of my UCMAS achievements do not have images attached to them because I couldn’t find actualy certificates for them, so I might take pictures of my trophies to put there, but I haven’t got to that yet, and I don’t want to put low-quality images. So those are still empty, but almost everything else is filled, so now you can go and view those. Next Steps I literally don’t have anything left to do on this, so I think the next step is to just ship. I will take a break from this project and begin to work on my next one, which will be making a cool new tab page from my browser. So expect a ship soon. If anyone has any suggestions on something to add, you can let me know! Below is an image of my stardance certificate shown in the modal on the page.
Devlog # 17 This is my final devlog before I ship! I wanted to add a picture of myself in the website so I tried to find a way to do that. I decided that I will make it so that the about me card will flip when hovered over and on the other side will be my image. I thought it would be pretty simple, so I began working on it at 12 last night thinking I could finished it in about 30 minutes. Turns out I was wrong. It took me more than two hours just to get a card to flip and show my image. It was a pain, but the end result looks really neat. Current Progress To make the flip card, I had to restyle the entire about me section. I used a W3Schools tutorial, but i couldn’t end up working well with it, so then I turned to AI for debugging, because I had so many div layers for that card, and then I finally styled it to look good. The effect looks really good though. As well, I decided to publish everything to Github as well now because I hadn’t published anything for the past couple of days so yeah. Then I found a problem with the images not getting pulled correctly, so then I had to transfer all of those to a public/ folder and then adjust the file paths for all of them in my code, and then reload and redeploy like a bajillion times. So it was a lengthy process, but I finally got it working publically, Next Steps My next step is to ship. I really hope I get rated good because I want a pebble time 2. After this I will begin to work on my next project for the remainder of the event, which is a new tab page. After that, I am done with Stardance, as I also have a lot of school work now. So I will ship soon!!
Ships:
I am working on my personal portfolio. Right now I am just working and crafting the sections and filling in some info. I still have to work on styling and go through all of the sections. But for now I am going to ship
My Portfolio Project Hi! Welcome to my Stardance project. In this project, I made a personal portfolio website so I could showcase my work. Especially as I enter high school this year, I wanted to have a platform to record all of my progress and have a way to display it to the public. I also wanted to get more experience with coding. Over the past few years, I have done like super mini project in HTML and CSS, but this website is one of my first fully developed projects, and that I have coded all by myself. So I took this opportunity to properly learn HTML and CSS, and also introduce myself to languages like JS and GLSL. Features The website has 6 sections that I made: Hero About Me Projects Experience Achievements Contact Here are some features of my website: The website has an interactive navbar which links to each section in the webpage. There is also a logo in the corner which will link to the Hero section. The navbar has a frosted glass look, which makes blurs the background behind it. The title in the Hero section (which is my name), has a rainbow gradient applied to it. The cool part is that the gradient moves and loops in the name, so the gradient is always moving slowly. This is actually applied to all of the section headings in the webpage. Each card in every section has a frosted glass look applied to it, so it will blur the background behind it. They also enlarge and brighten when you hover over them. The cursor is a small white dot instead of a regular cursor, which enlarges and turns light purple when hovering over a link to communicate to the user that the link is clickable and will lead somewhere. One of the main highlights is the background, which is a shader background made with GLSL, WebGL, and Three.js. The background is an animated gradient. It is also interactive as it will respond to the cursor on the screen. It is one of the key aspects that really make this website shine, and what really makes this project unique and different from other ones. The Easy and Hard Parts Easy Part There were some really easy parts while building this. One was building the HTML layout. After I understood the basics of making classes and organizing texts and everything, it was quite easy to start filling out info for all of the sections. I thought it would be like a really big thing to fill in all of that info, but turned out it wasn’t quite hard. Hard Part There were also hard parts. One main one was the shader background. First it took a really long time to code the first draft of that, as I had to make a shader in GLSL and then import Three.js, and all of that. But then that first draft didn’t work, so then it took me a really long time to debug the code as I had to look through everything for like typos and all that. I did use AI for this part, but it was still a really long and hard process, going back and forth trying to see what was wrong. But in the end it was totally worth it. Overall Overall, I spent a lot of time and effort in this project. One thing that I really wanted to do was make just that I documented all of my progress frequently in devlogs, and I think that I achieved that because all of the 13 devlogs that I have written are pretty detailed. I also wanted to make this unique to me, and I think that the shader background achieved that and just brought the project to a new level. I really hope you enjoy it, and I am happy to take any feedback. I hope to constantly keep updating this project over the next few years. Otherwise, I might add some new features to it (including a scroll bar) in the next month before Stardance ends and I get too busy with school. Below you can view some screenshots of each section of the website (it doesn’t let me upload a video, or else I would’ve done that). Enjoy!!!
Ship #2 for My Portfolio This is my second ship for this project. Since my first ship, I have mainly just added some small features to increase the UX. A lot of these changes were features that I had seen on websites that I liked. So when the time came to bedazzle my website, I implemented these features in my own website. One really consistent thing that I noticed while implementing these features, is that a lot of features are quite simple to implement once you understand the basic logic. I also noticed that once you add these small features, it can make a great effect on the UX, and that the few hours you put into the little things, can have a huge impact and create a great impression on those who visit your website. New Features I added a cool gradient horizontal scroll bar that fills up as you scroll down. I thought this was a super cool feature and required some simple JS logic to implement. The next thing was a loading page. It is a quite simple one, just having a gradient filled circle outline which spins to show a loading effect. Again a small feature just to add nice feel from the moment a person opens the webpage. The next thing was a scroll fade up reveal to everything in the site. I really like seeing this effect on other websites as well, so I wanted to implement it into my website as well I added media queries because I saw how bad the website looked on the phone, and it was just really annoying me. So I took the time to add that just in case I ever had to show anyone my webpage on the phone. After that, I decided to upload some of my certificates onto the website so people could very them, just to add another level of validity. However, instead of making the images open in another tab, I made them open in a modal that stays in the browser tab. I thought this was a super cool effect. Last thing was that I added my photo. To do this, I made it so that when someone hovered over my about me card, it would have a flip animation and on the other side my photo would show. I thought this was a nice and subtle was to implement my photo, without messing up any other styling on the page. Learning JS A lot of these features were implemented with JS, especially ones that were triggered with user input. I will acknowledge that I used AI to help with understanding JS logic for some of these features, and debugging as well, but I also learned along the way. I find JS much more complicated than HTML and CSS, and I think that I have really come far in understanding and implementing it. For examples, I can assign elements and add and remove classes based on user input. I still have some trouble with syntax, and that causes a lot of my problems, but I am really starting to get the hang of JS. I think that JS can create some really neat animations and effects, so I want to learn and understand this language, so that I can let others experience the cool things that I see on other websites. Overall I spent a lot of time on this project, and put in hours even after school started. It is a really personal project. I have come really far since I first started this project and I have grown confident in understanding and writing code and achieve the desired results. I probably will not work on this project after this ship, and will instead turn to other projects that I have pending. Please enjoy this project. If you have any suggestions, let me know in the review or as a comment, and I will try to implement it. Thank You!! Below is a picture of my stardance certificate in the modal that I made, and the other is a picture of the spinning gradient loader. Enjoy!!!...

took longer than expected, now im rewriting the dnscontrol script for deploying dns records to support multiple apex domains. this was rather challenging due to dnscontrol’s heavily limited dsl and language features, but eventually it works and now i just need to add documentation in markdown. fix type errors and cleanup code in dnscontrol.js before rewrite cleanup unused scripts and nix files remove nix branch (previous plan but support was too limited to be reliable) modified json schema so now “record” key is “records” (plural) update github action yaml files as well as fix old file paths
small devlog but prob worth mentioning well the actions script failed due to worker routes being read only. i decided to use dnscontrol’s built in CF_REDIRECT record for this instead and also update it due to missmatch TTL from dev with prod. apparently this caused an error because actions kept failing to deploy due to missing creds. after a while of debugging and headbanging, i folded and attempted to use github copilot agent to try and fix it (hehe pr number 67) but that didnt do the trick. it was only when i checked the repo secrets that i realized the env variable is called CF_API_TOKEN and not CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN. that was like hours of my time spent away debugging instead of working on the website like i planned but oh well no changelog list because im gen tired rn like its 11.00pm wiuriuhewuhfiuwhfihewiuhih
thats a pretty good amount of time accumulated purely writing docs new markdown files under /docs for documentation and usage guides wrote raw references for filesystem structure and json schemas
felt productive again somehow during a school night made docs page under /d/[document name] implement markdown fetching from github raw api implement docs nav via hardcoded object for paths installed marked styled docs markdown render using tailwind typography plugin updated whole website to use lora font fixed some homepage paragraph wordings fixed some elements to use correct cursor move some styles to global app.css fixed mobile spacing for header and footer
split time between website and register docs, bc i keep going back and forth and cant decide whether the website or the docs are more important. anyways register: create base doc files for quickstart and requirements write docs for quickstart guide remove cringy line on the register repo readme website-v2: made a base domain query page (unfinished) new page-container class in global styles used for consistent margin and padding fix link styles in docs handle form submission for homepage subdomain search better query param handling for docs loaddoc function tweaks for handling input styling changes to docs
mostly spent fiddling with a bit of ai and doing finishing touches before deployment. this was supposed to be 2 devlogs but i forgot to post and just continued coding but oh well. a lot of styling tweaks for markdown displays and forms install marked alert plugin for gfm alert blockquotes scrollbar, article, disabled button, and other element styling made footer stick to the bottom regardless of content height move loaddoc function to lib for use in other pages such as query function to remove apex domains from query if present implement subdomain suggestions html structure readme display for announcements loading indicator texts change nav link from config to query after this im gonna write docs/requirement.md and polish the github org a bit before shipping (hopefully) tomorrow
fix wrong key on website add discord domain verification record for is-my.id wrote website requirement docs fixed grammar errors and typos (thanks claude) remove outdated docs notice replaced part-of.my.id’s v1 website with placeholder for v2 last final touch ups v2 website should be live now
added important links polished org readme added a profile picture for the org and website add a nametag gimmick on the website (desktop only)
changes are half complete but i decided to devlog rn to keep things short. please note these changes arent pushed yet as im writing this website: rename /q and /d to /query and /docs change redirect links to the new routes add background stars from my personal website made a records page for creating subdomains and editing existing records (incomplete) implemented fetch function for getting records change query link to redirect to record page register: replace /docs/*.md code blocks to actual doc links only resolvable when viewed from the main website
almost forgot to devlog! anyways website: made a draft object for the form, should make interactivity easier to implement styling for checkbox, hr, and disabled input elements made an ARRAY_RECORDS string for supported records in type of string[] implemented form for registering subdomain records made readonly if subdomain is taken
edit: okay so i forgot some other changes but i cant really add those minutes to this devlog so ill just put the change here: added a character limit to the homepage search input (register repo) add a tip in quickstart doc about webui registering end of edit add warning texts for empty records and submit button pretty format resulting json enforced populated records instead of allowing empty domain registration form layout styling tweaks and fixes to inconsistency spacing add a success page that waits 5 seconds before opening github and displays next steps change submit functionality to redirect to success page code cleanup from unused variables and inconsistent spacings
okay well ships on this project isnt really doing the best in terms of stardance output, so i really need to address a lot of these critics if i want good multipliers. anyways so most of the time here is spent on writing ci tests for the register repo. however, i decided to scratch the majority of this code due to poor implementation execution. so this devlog will only have commits resolving some critics. website: fix z-index header bug where some elements would appear above the bar add a warning tip to the website repo readme for anyone who ends up there instead of the register repo changed the view source link for this project on stardance to redirect to the register repo updated the readme (adapted from my personal website repo readme) register: (scratched) test framework with raw js and bun add a tip for registering via web ui last commits from git repos (pinpoint for writing the next devlogs): register: 1564638a6d7eccc495a89948145898d0e4a1ddfc a1e2b4e4cf511f921ffc6b78bca260133afe4e7d okay a bit of a rant but school is starting to burn me out again. honestly i already got my certificate but now my motivator is gonna be the shop items. (i havent spent anything yet, not even for domain grants) im saving up and will spend after stardance ends. i am planning to hopefully do at least 1 - 1.5 hours on weekdays and hopefully overtime on weekends. we’ll see how that turns out i guess.
split time between writing docs (uncommited, might be discarded due to low quality) and writing tests leveraging bun apis. these tests are not completed, therefore they wont be used for github actions pr check workflows (yet). wrote docs: beginners guide (partial) and unsupported services (empty) extracted typescript types and constant to schema.ts for use in test units initialized bun for package management in the future if needed created deep.test.ts wrote test for checking unknown files outside of the /domains/[apex] directories wrote test for checking file names valid subdomain fqdns wrote test for checking if json is valid and parse-able
so mostly focused on improving the register repo and docs experience as i feel like the website is established and complete at this point. i am still learning the bun/jest api on writing test code so this may not be perfect, but its a start! made a wrapper function for looping through subdomain files using callbacks and bun fs api improve regex checks for ipv4, ipv6, and fqdns based on ajv-formats npm package (regex is copied pasted from source code rather than installing the package directly as that introduces bloat and dependency management) slight fixed to tests handling promises (still rather broken but ill fix that later) add new constants for looping though records made a helper function to read subdomain file and parse the json. both using bun fs api update all test fail messages to print file paths for easy tracing new test to check schema structure and record values using ip and domain regexes
ts is me with random lock in phases: still not fully implemented to be included with the testing workflow, i have a lot of features planned but i prefer to finish this first. better error messages for expect fails extra checks for empty objects, arrays, and strings made most/all tests use testing api specifics rather than a conditional check if expression is true (for better error messages) add a check for capping filenames to less than 245 characters (as per dns hostname rules) checks for nested apex in filenames (example: steve.is-my.id.json is invalid) reorder some tests add a check for uppercase letters (one of the existing subdomains violated this rule so i fixed it manually) add a check for repeated dashes (–) as the current regex doesnt catch this and i didnt feel like changing it created empty tests as drafts for later to be implemented remove unused ALIAS record handling as it was used internally but not needed anymore
made a new field in the getDomainRecords helper function to check for file existance and handle json parse fails made a new helper function to generate subdomain file path based of apex and subdomain changed tests to use the new implementation of getDomainRecords implemented tests for cloudflare proxied rules implemented tests for dns limitation rules implemented tests for root and nested subdomain ownership
last commit hash: 2d191fa190db7b3904256e96b27dd6608d42af56 fix existing record files failing the test fix test to exclude .json extension during name length test add a check for unknown and typoed keys added draft tests for website reachability made draft/empty tests fail on purpose check subdomain if containing any apexes minify some parts of the code to one liners made ownership checks per level (a.b.c.json checks for b.c.json and c.json instead of just c.json) added safeguards to not print multiple failures if root cause is erroring out to make sure errors are readable reorder some tests to run first than others used node:path’s path.join for path handling moved json parsing expect calls to helper function for reading json to eliminate repeated code made most of the error messages clearer to follow
last commit hash: 72f864ff282701585c5d43d5818a5ee22c29e168 supposed to be 3 separate devlogs but i genuinely forgot to. so im gonna split this changelog to categories. bun test validation: add github helpers for fetching diff and raw files from commit and raw urls implemented tests for checking changed file owners against pr author added a bypass label for ownership transfer extra types and functiong tweaks to existing library apis skipped pr author check if pr number for checking isnt present remove uneeded exports in some files as most are internal use optional chaining for clearer error messages in ci project structuring: split deep.test.ts to multiple focused files instead of relying on describe() grouping split helpers, constants, and types into a their own library file move tests and shared libs into /scripts/lib and /script/tests respectively github actions: wire bun tests into ci updated ci triggers for prs, manual, and push settings removed step for validating with json schema in favor of bun tests rename a couple of step and job names for clarity misc: add some missing semicolons tab space consistency fix a couple of variable names

a bit of a rant before anything, PLEASE JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE RATTING MY PROJECT. may come off as mean but please. yall asked for detailed and concrete docs and end up saying its “too long” like bro 😭. i do have one more plan for tutorials to make it easy. but if this doesnt help then go rtfm last commit hashes: website: 122e3777c7c52e7bf05a8a32f7e4f91b11d09ada register: d7ac98d86913daad3c18260120e41dda2873f8ef got stacks of homework today so i cant really do my 2 hour daily goal rn unfortunately :( but trust me, i will get that 11 hour weekly website: rename doc link “requirements” to “terms” new favicon of indonesian flag (using emoji variation from discord/twitter) might use this for a logo later code cleanup and simplification remove unused variables in code query page with ssr optimizations moved /query/[query] to /query handled passing subdomain query to form body changed landing and query page to use sveltekit form actions made readme announcement fetching ssr hide subdomains when query is empty made apex listing ssr register: fixed github actions workflow labeler created issue templates for bug report, abuse report, and support questions added abuse report information and email to main readme changed query url to match website
i forgot to devlog yesterday ;-; also i was supposed to work on other important aspects like the tutorial and barely finished pages. but ngl looking at the existing pages and adding small improvements and tiny details just feels more relaxing for me. but i still need to do that tutorial because stardance said so ;-; last commit hashes: website: 2de11547f2cc7e0b8ad3c107fbee8d44e0a97682 register: 2e183b224fdce4811b05c89b9f594551c13a7dad lowk idk when but i got mystery motivation and im racking up good amount of hours/day. i do have a goal rn to try and buy an bambu lab 3d printer so thats prob a contributor to my motivation. website: code cleanup, remove unused typescript code import use tables in record forum page for consistent spacing fix hover confusion on disabled inputs by disabling hover background color change remove unnecesarry label (just please research about dns 😭 ) added more dividers to records form page add clarification that subdomain descriptions are optional make pfp previews link to github profiles bug fix to REDIRECT records on read only mode improve table of contents styling to tree like stem made toc and md parser function also generate heading numbering (e.g. 1.2.3) (unused for now) code cleanup, remove empty new lines to compact code made table of contents entry highlight depending on view (js required) close table of contents in docs by default tweaked query page styles for showing borders set disabled state as default in records form hide checkmark if input is disabled added fork warning in records page added the ability to edit registered subdomain hide table inputs if empty register: clarity to reference docs regarding CNAME and REDIRECT changed heading level in Terms of Service AI section

genuinely so tired for some reason. prob from playing mc recently and dying and lossing my stuff to despawn timer. OKAY! enough trauma dumping. we got work to do last commit hashes: website: e4e59479ec953dcfb63e0965518d35906ab625e8 register: mostly a lot of janitor work: code cleanup and directory reordering. but theres also an auto formatter in the workflow now! website: fix heading centering from last devlog, found bug after testing mobile view register: move dnsconfig.js to /scripts/bin for organization installed oxfmt for formatting files added bun fmt script to package.json added oxfmt config file with exclusion rule on everything but /domains formatted every domain file using oxfmt added notes for cf tunnels in /docs/services.md (unsupported services) add prettify/formatting workflow for every push code cleanup: remove unused nodejs step in workflow file, were using bun anyways code cleanup: whitespace and newline removal add tip and caution alerts in quickstart guide regarding pr checklist and prettify formatting
this is when im starting to head bang a lot, because of an undocumented github feature ive been relying on for web ui editor. last commit hashes: website: f1e3a4387e6780d61bc55feeead37ead03ec3b0a register: 5625239d30e691ace298336953d663b6e396c0e3 so ive been using github’s REPO/new/branch/PATH?filenam=A&value=B query params for prefilling records in the web ui editor form. during testing, i noticed that for some reason JSON.stringify isnt formatting the json when i open it on github. after a bit of testing, turns out github minifies valid json input. when i tried some string concats with JSON.stringify output that produced invalid json then the indentation returns. this is rather confusing and frustrating. even tho the ci now handles formatting, its still a pain for pr reviewing to review unformatted, one-line json files. due to github not really documenting this feature well, i suppose we have to live with it. i do have plans later to possibly use octokit instead for pr generation, but thats a lot more work i dont have time for. anyways, i didnt feel like writing changelog so ill just say it in brief. i added email regex checks to the ci as well as formatting warnings. and for the web ui, i made an advanced view to show raw json and the file path in case someone is willing to do it themselves. i also fixed a lot of the unserious things i threw around the success page like the ??? step
well more time without devlogs, but i didnt work on anything massive anyways so should be fine. last commit hashes: website: 6fee809e77174f42e3ece9c71d2d8b6a95120d69 register: 4c1860c68904c5378a761a100013ce3da8836771 this is gonna be the last devlog before i ship for the last time. or not, but ill most likely work on other projects. i do still have 1 more thing to do which i might or might not do. depending on how hard it ends up being. then again i am paid by the hour sooo….. but school is starting to get busy again so ig we’ll see register: completed the draft /docs/domains101.md doc for introduction to the service website: add handler for /docs/[empty] to redirect to first in line defined doc moved loadDoc helper function to $lib added a loading bar for indicating page load in progress add previous and next buttons to the bottom of docs page added domains101 doc entry
Ships:
VERSION 2.0 IS LIVE Registration instructions are available on the website. part-of.my.id is a free subdomain service that allows you to get a sleek lookin your-name.part-of.my.id domain instead of a the boring old one that hosting providers provide like pages.dev, github.io, etc. This rewrite brings to you: Multi apex domain support for the new domain: is-my.id A sleek redesigned main website and documentation
this should have improvements from last ship’s suggestions and feedback /record and /success page for generating json fixed broken links (no /d or /q anymore) added background elements to make website feel more alive

For every PR: • TypeScript checks, Biome linting, tests run on Ubuntu/macOS • Postgres migration checks, Docker builds with CVE scans • Package audits (using a sha256-pinned manifest), load-testing with SLOs • Vercel preview deploys, changeset validation for monorepo packages No automatic merging - everything is watched by the repo until the CI turns green and the PR is squashed.

However, the sqlite had a different approach of INSERT OR REPLACE which replaced the whole row, including created_at. This PR changes the sqlite version to use the explicit upsert so that both databases behave the same way. Also adds a regression test that purposely creates a session, re-logins with the same token/data and checks that created_at was not changed. The postgres tests are skipped for local DATABASE_URL absent. AuthGuardResult lied on success (#177) AuthGuardResult was a type { ok: boolean; status: 401 | 403; reason: string }, and on success, the guard returned { ok: true, status: 401, reason: “” }, i.e., a 401 status code with an empty reason string. It was not a problem because toMiddleware always checked result.ok first, but it was a silent bug for anyone who tried to check result.status on success. Now it is properly represented as a discriminated union type { ok: true } | { ok: false; status: 401 | 403; reason: string }, and the status and reason fields are not present on success. All tests were adjusted to narrow the type with if (!result.ok) { … }, and a new test checks that TypeScript actually narrows the type."}, {"post_id": 54536, "ts": "2026-08-25T15:47:21Z", "hours": 5.0458, "text": "Devlog #12 this cycle was about mostly about closing the loop from “framework that works” to “framework someone else can actually adopt without me hovering nearby” Most importantly, agents can now understand x every dev I know, including senior devs, is now asking AI to write code for them. AI doesn’t know x conventions and will confidently write next.js or remix code that looks right but isn’t. So I released @thexjs /mcp - an MCP server for claude code, cursor and other agents that gives them concrete documentation for routing, loaders, server functions, env vars, and a scaffold_file tool that generates files in the right shape rather than the agent making up whatever it wants. This gets automatically added to any new project via .mcp.json / .cursor/mcp.json, and there’s also an llms.txt file on the docs for agents that just browse the site. They’re both generated from the same source so they can’t diverge. The docs got a much needed love, not just in terms of content I added the missing @thexjs /mcp docs page, and got it linked into the sidebar/footer/search index (it was in the code but not easy to find). I also fixed some copy that had diverged from the actual implementation, including a docs page that suggested using “use client” directives that the framework doesn’t actually support. The landing page also got some updates The hero section is now properly responsive (it broke on real phones, not just narrow desktops). There was a bug where the docs sidebar was supposed to be sticky but wasn’t - fixed that (turns out it was an ancestor issue, not the sticky style itself). Copy was de-genericized a bit, since it was previously very similar to other dev tool landing pages. Some internal improvements I fixed a bug in the vercel adapter relating to forwarded-header hostname validation, and made some improvements to the scaffolder (shadcn wasn’t being installed when tailwind was automatically enabled, doctor’s semver range checks were actually checking the ranges, etc). I’m now using proper feature branches + PRs for everything rather than pushing to main directly. It’s more work but should avoid situations where, say, the docs get updated to disagree with the framework in confusing ways.

The bug: clicking search crashed the site, but only in production Click the search bar, and the command palette should appear. Instead, the deployed build produced: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘target’) Deep inside React’s event system. Not during development. Only in production. It has now been discovered that the island bundle is shipped as a classic rather than as a module, as a result, top-level declarations end up on the window object. In the minified bundle there was a top-level function called dispatchEvent: this was React DOM’s internal event dispatcher, having the same name as the browser’s actual dispatchEvent function, and it quietly overwritten window.dispatchEvent. The search trigger causes a synthetic ⌘K keydown event to be sent to the window in order to activate the palette island. It was doing this by calling React’s internal dispatcher with a raw keydown event and without a nativeEvent, which caused React to fail when it tried to read .target from an object of the incorrect shape. Solution: wrap each emitted island bundle (including the build output and the dev path) in an IIFE so that no top-level declaration now reaches the window object at all. This has been tested to ensure it works correctly.

Log entry #6: on the day React’s own dispatcher attempted to become window.dispatchEvent Today six items were shipped; one took a lot longer to track down than it should have. The bug: clicking search crashed the site, but only in production Click the search bar, and the command palette should appear. Instead, the deployed build produced: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘target’) Deep inside React’s event system. Not during development. Only in production. It has now been discovered that the island bundle is shipped as a classic rather than as a module, as a result, top-level declarations end up on the window object.

There are six fixes, one adapter, one new page, and a bug resulting from two functions sharing a name rather too casually. Tomorrow: it will probably be more of the same.
Devlog #7: clean audits, fixed styling, faster boarding passes This round was about tightening things up. The dependency audit is finally clean with zero ignores. There are no more accepted-risk advisories in CI. Just real fixes: pinned overrides on esbuild and @hono /node-server, and moving shadcn out of production dependencies where it never belonged. I also fixed a frustrating Vercel bug where deployed pages lost their stylesheet. It turns out existsSync doesn’t work the way you’d expect inside a serverless bundle. Now, the CSS href gets included at build time instead of being guessed at runtime. Smaller wins: I swapped the landing page fonts to Space Grotesk, Inter, and JetBrains Mono (all self-hosted, no Google Fonts), fixed a boarding-pass demo bug where signed bit shifts were producing -6undefined seat numbers, and cleaned up lint/typecheck across the workspace. Repo (⭐ appreciated): https://github.com/abdelkabirouadoukou/x Website: https://thexjs.vercel.app/
Devlog #8 I redesigned the landing page. It is now black and white with no color at all. I reduced the boot animation from about 5.5 seconds to 4 seconds. CI now runs “bun run build” and a format check on every PR, not just typecheck, lint, and tests. I rewrote most of the docs to reflect reality. There are new pages for Islands, ISR, catch-all routes, batch server-function registration, and CLI flags. I fixed several issues that had occurred, including the wrong RouteProps type, bad apiDir docs, and incorrect 404/middleware behavior. Code blocks now use a monochrome token palette that matches the new design. I also fixed an actual bug. The rate limiter used a shared “unknown” bucket when proxy headers were missing. This meant one client’s burst could cause a 429 error for everyone else. Now it uses the correct socket IP first. I also corrected the missing content-type in the 429 response, which was causing issues with static assets in some browsers.
DevLog #9 I ran PageSpeed Insights on the x landing page and obtained the following results: 100 for performance, 100 for accessibility, 100 for best practices, 91 for SEO on desktop, and 96, 100, 100, and 91 on mobile. For a page that makes no use of any framework-level image optimization or lazy-loading techniquesinstead it’s just a monochrome static page built with Bun the SEO score of 91 is likely due to the fact that I haven’t yet added the meta tags; all the other aspects are clean. Built with x: https://github.com/abdelkabirouadoukou/x
Development Blog #10 I spent most of my time working on the documentation backlog of adding new features. The @thexjs /auth was released a blogs ago but I still had not done the documentation for it. We did not have a page for this and some old references were no longer working in other parts of the application. I made a page for /docs/packages/auth on the website. This page has instructions, information about the endpoints and details about CSRF. I also added links to this page from the data-layer and security pages so I do not have to repeat the information in many places. I also started working on the testing gaps that were on the roadmap and marked as “beta” or “not tested”. This includes things like what happens when Postgres is not working problems with authorization and limits for instances using Redis. I changed the way I work on changes. Of making all the changes in the main branch I now make a separate branch, for each change and then open a pull request. This is a way to do things so I will keep doing it this way.
Devlog #11 I found that browsers automatically remove tabs and newlines from a URL before checking its scheme, whereas my regex did not, and hence, I missed that javascript URLs could still bypass the sanitization and that is why they still worked. It ended up being part of releases 1.1.0 and 1.2.0. Also, I discovered that when checking whether environment leakage exists (build command is “x build”), this check silently fails without any message if environment is indeed leaky secrets get masked properly but “x build” exits with 0 and therefore CI never discovers that a feature has quietly malfunctioned. This time, the patches for both of these issues have been made properly and checked manually before merging. Roadmap backlog has been taken care of after that. The items are a real end-to-end RBAC example, Redis multi-replica soak test, which would stress the multi-db system in a very large-scale environment; and a time when the security disclosure SLA is truly acted out in real life scenario not just being a paper trail.

Worked on the @thexjs /mcp server (so that AI agents won’t make up incorrect code for x), some documentation cleanup, some landing page hero/sidebar improvements, and a few adapter/scaffolder bug fixes. Repo links are included if you want to see the real code changes!
This post will be updated soon..
Devlog #12 this cycle was about mostly about closing the loop from “framework that works” to “framework someone else can actually adopt without me hovering nearby” Most importantly, agents can now understand x every dev I know, including senior devs, is now asking AI to write code for them. AI doesn’t know x conventions and will confidently write next.js or remix code that looks right but isn’t. So I released @thexjs /mcp - an MCP server for claude code, cursor and other agents that gives them concrete documentation for routing, loaders, server functions, env vars, and a scaffold_file tool that generates files in the right shape rather than the agent making up whatever it wants. This gets automatically added to any new project via .mcp.json / .cursor/mcp.json, and there’s also an llms.txt file on the docs for agents that just browse the site. They’re both generated from the same source so they can’t diverge. The docs got a much needed love, not just in terms of content I added the missing @thexjs /mcp docs page, and got it linked into the sidebar/footer/search index (it was in the code but not easy to find). I also fixed some copy that had diverged from the actual implementation, including a docs page that suggested using “use client” directives that the framework doesn’t actually support. The landing page also got some updates The hero section is now properly responsive (it broke on real phones, not just narrow desktops). There was a bug where the docs sidebar was supposed to be sticky but wasn’t - fixed that (turns out it was an ancestor issue, not the sticky style itself). Copy was de-genericized a bit, since it was previously very similar to other dev tool landing pages. Some internal improvements I fixed a bug in the vercel adapter relating to forwarded-header hostname validation, and made some improvements to the scaffolder (shadcn wasn’t being installed when tailwind was automatically enabled, doctor’s semver range checks were actually checking the ranges, etc). I’m now using proper feature branches + PRs for everything rather than pushing to main directly. It’s more work but should avoid situations where, say, the docs get updated to disagree with the framework in confusing ways. If you want more details on any of this, check my repo!!
Devlog #13 Fixed two critical auth bugs, both related to the auth package; the fixes are already in the PRs (not merged yet, waiting for CI). sqlite session store silently overwritten created_at (#175) Postgres store used ON CONFLICT (token) DO UPDATE, which does not update created_at column on purpose; therefore, on each re-login with the same token, the created_at would remain the same, signifying that the session was created at the same time. However, the sqlite had a different approach of INSERT OR REPLACE which replaced the whole row, including created_at. This PR changes the sqlite version to use the explicit upsert so that both databases behave the same way. Also adds a regression test that purposely creates a session, re-logins with the same token/data and checks that created_at was not changed. The postgres tests are skipped for local DATABASE_URL absent. AuthGuardResult lied on success (#177) AuthGuardResult was a type { ok: boolean; status: 401 | 403; reason: string }, and on success, the guard returned { ok: true, status: 401, reason: “” }, i.e., a 401 status code with an empty reason string. It was not a problem because toMiddleware always checked result.ok first, but it was a silent bug for anyone who tried to check result.status on success. Now it is properly represented as a discriminated union type { ok: true } | { ok: false; status: 401 | 403; reason: string }, and the status and reason fields are not present on success. All tests were adjusted to narrow the type with if (!result.ok) { … }, and a new test checks that TypeScript actually narrows the type.
I will update this post soon..

Built “X” — a lightweight full-stack React framework powered natively by the Bun runtime. In this update, I focused on getting the core Server-Side Rendering (SSR) pipeline smooth and ultra-fast. I refactored the dev server to make hot-reloading seamless, fixed routing edge cases, and polished the CLI so you can spin up a full-stack React app with zero-config overhead. The goal is to keep modern React development fast, simple, and bloat-free by leveraging Bun’s speed.
Ship #2 is finally done after 50+ hours. Shipped build-time secret leak protection, Vercel deployments, structured logging, and a 100/100 PageSpeed landing page redesign. Check the repo for all the devlogs!
Ship #3 - X is pre-production ready X is a full-stack React framework written natively in Bun. It has seen 90+h development and is at the point where I can hand it over to someone else and walk away. What’s in the box • File-based routing with SSR, SSG, ISR - pick per route • Islands architecture for client interactivity, no more use client • Server functions, which at build-time are rewritten to fetch wrappers • Authentication package with credentials + OAuth2, sessions, CSRF, brute-force protection, RBAC • Build-time environment leakage check, implemented as an AST visitor that fails the build on a secret accidental exposure • Adapter for Vercel that generates a .vercel/output directory with static CDN and serverless SSR • MCP server for training AI agents that write correct x applications, not hallucinating Next.js code • Structured JSON logs, /healthz, /readyz, OpenTelemetry/Sentry hooks • Docker builds with explicit workspace COPY gates and CVE scanning at build-time What’s been fixed in this cycle: • SQLite session store did not observe created_at on relogin, unlike Postgres • The AuthGuardResult object had { ok: ‘success’, status: 401 } shape on successful auth guard resolution, has been renamed to a discriminated union type to avoid carrying stale data • The Vercel adapter accepted comma-joined X-Forwarded-For headers that should have been rejected • The auth package had code duplication between brute-force protection and audit logging for parsing X-Forwarded-For, consolidated into a clientIpFromRequest util • The hero component on the landing page broke on actual mobile viewports - fixed a responsive slab assumption in the install command component • Docs had foreign framework artifacts (use client directives, wrong loader signatures), all scrubbed CI is properly set up now, only merged branches push changes. For every PR: • TypeScript checks, Biome linting, tests run on Ubuntu/macOS • Postgres migration checks, Docker builds with CVE scans • Package audits (using a sha256-pinned manifest), load-testing with SLOs • Vercel preview deploys, changeset validation for monorepo packages No automatic merging - everything is watched by the repo until the CI turns green and the PR is squashed.

Worked on the HTML part of my OS
Done with the Desktop OS, and adding the clock, i had literally watch youtube to figure out the solution. It was an overwhelming task fr!, but happy enough to know that i finished the 2nd part of making it!
I DON”T WANNA BRAG BUT I FEEL THAT I’M COOKING SOMETHING REALLY TOUGH!
added 3 features with the work done the day ebfore and today , the features are : switchable light or dark mode wallpaper feature with custom wallpaper feature just by pasting image a calculator to help u with solving prolems
Started the real customization of My Web OS, where i gave my a theme of pixel and crane. To me that’s really cool , and also changed the icons of the apps in the OS
Doing experiments do come with a cost, had to face a lot of errors and issues, i will fix them the next day i will have time to deal with it!!! Added a soundboard where u can play some drum kind of things! with a pomodro timer to cover your focus sessions ,but don’t worry the ambient rain sound is there to relief your stress out during your precious deep focus sessions and yea added a basketball hoop game for your entertainment, let’s see how much can you score under 30 seconds!
Honestlt it wouldn’t have taken that much time if i hadn’t do silly mistakes while pushing and deploying code from vs code and git hub , i had got really frustrated . and btw i have done some fixing on the focus pad by stopping the music and timer to reset when program or tab is being exit, later i’m thinking of adding a playlist of music in focus pad if possible like lofi, for drum padd i added more instruments so one can implement their music skills and yea did some proper fixing in minimizing and maximizing of tabs though it still needs some more add ons

Hi! So I have started this project because I want to play VR games, but I don’t have any headset, only Google Cardboard. I know there is ALVR and iVRy, but: ALVR doesn’t have support for hand tracking and 6DOF iVRy is closed-source and wants to pay Sorry, but I don’t plan to add Windows support soon. Devlog 1 : I forked Monado and made some bureaucracy (like adding my driver to CMakeLists.txt etc.) I made simple Android app that pairs over UDP multicast with my driver. The image is from editor, because I don’t have anything interesting to post (except maybe positive logs 😁)
So now I’m basically stuck. Three hours of debugging the streaming pipeline, refractoring with Opencode and trying to make it work. As you see, even Deepseek is struggling with it… Wish me luck 🤞
Devlog 2 : Finally I made working streaming pipeline! My driver takes image from Monado, gstreamer encodes it and sends via UDP. On phone, there is AMediaCodec that takes the packets, joins them and renders. Used codec is HEVC (H265). Video is from xrgears demo.
Devlog 3 : I made 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom = position+rotation in space) tracking with ARCore. It’s a bit laggy, but it works. This is just test, I plan to optimize it later. Video is from xrgears with looking around.
I am making minor adjustments to run with SteamVR. I use opencomposite as layer between OpenXR and OpenVR/SteamVR. Video is phone screencap from free Steam game “Aircar”.
Devlog 4 : I replaced boilerplate LLM code with my own. I also wrote README with instructions, so you can now try it!
Since nobody reviewed my submission, I don’t want to add more features, so I only updated the README and made small changes to the app. If anyone wants to play VR games on their phone, they can just download the files from Releases and run them without hard compiling!
Phew, I almost went over the time limit (10 hours) :D I tried to get it running on Windows, and I partially succeeded, but it’s still not stable. Aside from that, I mostly cleaned up the code, improved usability, and removed unnecessary modules from CMake. Now I’m working on an improved distortion using Monado’s u_distortion_cardboard_calculate (cardboard stands for Google Cardboard btw) And one more thing: thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on the project — I really didn’t expect that!
I created new TCP socket logic for configuration sharing and added logic for loading configuration file. Now I am trying to change the x265enc software encoding to something faster on GPU. Unfortunately, nvenc (nvidia encoding) is really hard to configure properly, as you can see for yourselves.
So today I finished image settings (you can configure them in the config file). They control how the image is rendered, because every headset has different lenses, distance between lenses, distance from screen to lenses etc. To find your headset’s properties, go to https://wwgc.firebaseapp.com/ .
I worked hard on both the Android app and the Monado driver and finally: I have working hand tracking! It is very laggy, needs many optimizations, and isn’t even in alpha state yet, but I can see that it is possible to do it. This was my dream when I began this project, and finally, it has come true. I hope it will help many people who cannot afford a professional headset :D
I am enhancing hand tracking now, and it’s starting to look good! Here is how: I use MediaPipe by Google to analyze image from front camera. MediaPipe Hand Landmarker returns hand landmarks in camera-relative format in two dimensions, so I need to make depth (z-coordinate). I measure distance between wrist and fingers, in 2D space this means distance from camera (the farther away they are, the smaller they get). Now, they are 3D, but still relative to camera. Then I simply send both hands as UDP packet for the driver. The driver (PC side) computes real-world coordinates of the hands using saved earlier sent from ARCore and pushes them into Monado.
So I finished the hand tracking! I tried to make it as good as possible on a phone, and it looks like it might actually work! Even though I’m limited by the hardware, you can see in the video that it tracks pretty well. (video from openxr-simple-playground )
Last devlog before ship! I just merged upstream monado, built release binaries and created GitHub release.
I created simple terminal installer in python that downloads and setups Monado Phone Driver. Thanks also for the positive reviews and the 19.12x stardust multiplier — when I started this project, I didn’t think I’d ever finish it :D
I added settings on phone, so now you can really configure the ports on both sides! Also there’s option to disable hand tracking or 6DOF (then it will send only rotation of headset)
Now I am making just minor changes to the driver as the base is nearly done. I added screen size synchronization with phone, so the driver now can send right stream. Also I am making small bugfixes and improvements.
YEAH! I have finally done the PC camera hand tracking! It has much better FOV than phone camera and more computing power. It’s just Python script with MediaPipe, sending the data to 127.0.0.1 to hand port, and it has same format, so the driver doesn’t even know the data is sending someone other than phone. You will ofc need to disable phone hand tracking, otherwise they will collide. As you see in the video, I can move the hands far and they still get tracked. (End of the video is when I took off the headset - it was also tracked :D)
I’ve fixed some bugs and leaks, added more configuration to Android app and created hand tracking vizualization for the PC script. Also, I am working on integrating hands as controllers (because controllers have better support across games).
I am working on implementing hand controller using same data as hand tracking does. It also includes the “aim pose” - where does controller point. On video, it’s shown as red line, I take it from the index finger. I hope I will be able to play some better VR games!
I think it’s time to new release! I merged upstream, created tag, built app and driver and published on GitHub.
Hi! So I’m here again after many exams (I didn’t have time and strength to iteratively test this ) and I’m gonna make this better using better Hand Landmarkers and (hopefully) run on Window$.
Ships:
Hi! I ship my Monado Phone Driver ! I worked on it for last week and it was really challenging. My vision was to build something with what you can play VR games on phone (with Google Cardboard), like iVRy, but open-source and simple. I worked on streaming pipeline, UDP discovery, pose tracking and gluing it all together with Monado. I hope this will help people that wanted to play VR games without expensive headset.
Hi! This is my second ship of this project, Monado Phone Driver. It’s bridge between your VR app and your phone in headset ( Google Cardboard ). I wanted to make it better than ALVR , because it has only 3DOF tracking, so I created 6DOF tracking and hand tracking, like professional headsets. The most challenging part of this was debugging all of these. From Vulkan swapchain management and GStreamer pipeline to hand and 6DOF tracking. I am proud of it, because this will help people without VR headsets to enjoy VR games. NOTE: Hand tracking is done the best possible way, but I think it still doesn’t compete with real VR headsets. Next ship should add better tracking with PC camera.
I made Monado Phone Driver - a bridge between VR app and phone in cardboard headset. This allows you to play VR games just with Linux PC and Android phone, without buying expensive VR headset. There are alternatives, like ALVR and WiVRn , but my driver has 6DOF tracking (you can move and rotate in space) and hand tracking (it takes hand landmarks from PC or phone camera). Since last ship, I improved stability, added Android app settings, created auto installer, and mainly tracking from PC camera, because phone has small FOV and limited performance....

Hurray🎉🎉, the booting screen is completed, now it shows the typing effect , just like we see in movies. and when the system is ready, the button will be enabled. Now going to the actual OS
Designed the website UI🎉. I added 4 applications on the website: Terminal, Network Scanner, Code editor, system Monitor. Also added background that matches the theme😅.
Hurray, The terminal is working well, type help to get the available commands . I will try to add functionality to all the 4 apps. Next going to work on System Monitor
Completed the System Monitor also. Also made some tweaks in the UI and in the Booting page. Soon I will add the functionality to the other two apps(Network Scanner and the Code Editor). Also you have any features in mind, feel free to share it, I will try to add that❤️
Added a new app, password generator, now we can generate secure password which meets any requirement.
Earlier there has a problem is js, that is when we click close button. The application window moves right, I solved that bug . It is the problem of the make draggable fn.
Added a new application: Hacker Notes, now we can save whatever we want. Next destination is Hacker settings. I am into it. Stay tuned!
I created Hacker Settings app, and now you can change the wallpaper. Currently, there are 3 wallpapers. Are you still reading? Stop and go try out my project, guys!
I added a small taskbar! Now, when you open any application, its name shows up on the taskbar. Go check it out guys!
I added the most requested feature , the network app, now we can ping and scan an IP address. Check it out guys!
Now I fixed the transparent background, and many of the users complained about it, so I changed that to an opaque background for the window.
Started development of the new two apps, the calculator and the music player
Added Calculator to the Hacker OS because in the previous ratings one guy said that adding a calculator and music player is good, so I added it
Added music app and added my very favorite 3 songs in it, guys check it out and if you have more apps in mind, feel free to comment it. I will add it

🚀 Space Pulse – Quick Submit What? A glassmorphic new tab page with NASA’s daily space image as background, search bar, quick links, sticky notes, live clock, and emoji avatar. Challenge? Syncing APOD to background, keeping layout clean without scroll chaos, and deploying securely without exposing API key. Proud of? The frosted‑glass floating UI and the seamless single‑page experience. Test it? Live: newtab.vercel.app Try setup, search, links, notes, and date pick – all changes persist. Local: npm install && npm run dev with NASA key in .env .
What I made I’ve created my custom new tab page dubbed Space Pulse . It’s a small dashboard with a NASA’s APOD image slider, a search bar, shortcuts, sticky notes, and an emoji profile section. What was challenging The most challenging aspect of the project was to ensure all the features co-exist without making the page messy and to enable all data to be stored properly in local storage. Another challenge was to make the page appear personalized and not just another dashboard. What I’m proud of The fact that this is a functional personal project that could be used daily is a great achievement. It also looks personal with the emoji profile, notes, and shortcuts. Lastly, managing to display the NASA space image with all those features without compromising its aesthetic appeal makes me proud. What people should know before trying it out The page is only functional on browsers with JavaScript enabled. All data including notes, shortcuts, and emoji profile are stored locally in a browser; hence, it will be lost upon clearing local storage . The APOD picture changes every day, and if a day’s picture is unavailable or in video format, then the dashboard uses a background image to fill the space.

The results will reflect the dedication and work done on a task I am finally shipping my project for the second time under vote pool after more than +15 hours of constant improvement. I based this new Nike website on the feedbacks I read over and over to understand the reviewers point of view, the other great websites here in stardance and my own introspection. I won’t say much as today was entirely dedicated to debugging the code and correcting UI. Thanks to all those who helped found the spelling errors and those who followed the progression of my work up to this stage. I had a 5.50x last ship, so I am expecting much more. Keep up and Aspire greatness!
Ships:
Hello guys, I made a website to presents Nike’s products. The websites does feature only shoes for now, and is made of 3 active pages (the landing, the shoe section and the collaborations) The greatest challenge was the CSS. Having this done when I had still very little experience with CSS was difficult. But the most difficult to do was surely the animation with the javaScript code block. I literally had to ask advice from 15+ peers to get it ready for ship. Nevertheless, that is also one my top fulfilling achievements. I am also proud of how the colors change with the product displayed. Oh, I almost forgot! Click on the small swoosh in the nav bar to go back to landing page, and on the big one to change theme.
To the previous ship, I added more posts to the feed to make it more compelling to scroll through and a JS animation to change the theme of the landing page. I added two sections to the shoe page: In the first, you can see the releases from Converse, as it is a subbranch of Nike. The second concerns the releases from the Air Jordan line. Writing the code for the animation was very complex, as I had to go and learn back some concepts. That is why that index.html took me so much time. Just for a single animation T~T. Also, finding the exact image and text for the post was very tiring. Now the feed is much more fulfilling, to read and I’m so happy with that. Moreover, the diversity with the converse and Jordan makes it more satisfying. Something I advise when testing, click the swoosh on the landing page.
I corrected all the errors from the first ship in voting pool, to make it more polished again and have a much more better UI. The most challenging part was to go and learn some concepts that I used here especially JS. It was tedious, an as school started again it did not help. To test the project you just have to click on the Try project link. For those on mobile devices, I advise you to set your browser to desktop mode and turn it landscape for maximal experience I’m very proud of the UI and to see how far I went with this project is so fulfilling....

Just finished building the website with interactive 3D elements and my own projects. It’s fully deployed and hosted on GitHub Pages.
Just updated the projects section
I’m working on making this UI less boring, but I’m fresh out of ideas. I’d appreciate any concrete design tweaks to make it less boring LOL
I added a awards section to show some of my achievements, overall the project is basically a portifolio for me rn ngl, I really want to do some more interactable things but its kinda hard lol
Changes Changed the projects section to subpages, so now you can choose to see software or hardware projects. Changed the background color to full black Changed the profile picture Workin on Currently working on the hardware project page Wanna add A spotfy section to show what I currently listen to A function to the dice cuz rn it just spins Struggles I have some troubles with the delploy, after I deployd the new version on github pages I went to see if all was workin but the site didnt updeted(on my browser cause for some reason Brave dont update the cache lol) I was going crazy for like 15m
Changes Changed the images of hardware and software buttons Workin on Currently working on the hardware project page(yeah the same thing of the preview devlog cuz I got excited to make the spotify integration) Wanna add A function to the dice cuz rn it just spins(I didnt think of anything for it so feel free to suggest anything) Struggles I had some error while trying to get the lanyard API to work cuz I did not know I had to be on the server(I kinda dumb as u can see lmao)
I fixed most of the performance issues. How? I just convert the images to webp and added lazy loading to the page, also I discorvered that when I go to the PageSpeed Insights from google it gives the site a low performance status (problably) because github pages dont have image compression and other nerd performance things The image below is a screen shot of the same test from google but running the local index.html file
I added the first hardware project to the page, I choose to use a different layout for this page cuz when we talk about hardware its very hard to someone to test it out so you have to write more about it than u do on software projects(where u can even put a “give it a try” link)
I added a mini 3D version of myself! It took me almost 2 hours of modeling, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. For anyone wondering, I used Blockbench (it sucks when it comes to texturing, I spent a lot of time redoing it).
Added a new integration with discord to show what I’m currently doing for exemple if you go see now it will be shoing I’m playing val. for the code I just copy and paste from the spotfy function and rewrite what was needed
In this devlog I redesigns the Awards section with a 3D carousel, moves the intro heading, and keeps the content more focused on achievements I have proof of. I also updated the clock and Discord status fetch logic to update more with the Spotify request, added an scroll-reveal animation, and tweaked responsive styling for navigation, project sections, and mobile layouts. Overall it wasnt that hard since I have already make something similar on other project
Ships:
It’s not the final version, but it’s definitely something I’m proud of, I hope you guys like it Btw it now works fine on mobile devices
What did I make: I built a website portifolio-like to show some of my projects, skills and achievements and show a little bit of me What was challenging: Ngl the CSS was so hard for some reason I just waste so much time trying to centralize things, also had a hard time with de design (u can see it lol) What I proud of: I proud of everthing actually. I learned a lot by making this project and I plan on adding new things like photos I took and really liked and musics I listen to
What I Built I created this portfolio not to hunt for jobs, but to have my own little space on the internet where I can freely share my projects, interests, and whatever I’m working on. The Challenge Design was definitely my main struggle. Since UI/UX isn’t my main stack, making things look decent took a lot of trial and error. The code wasn’t necessarily hard, it just took some time to figure things out. What I’m Proud Of On a personal level, I think having a space of my own to share things with the world is pretty crazy. Technically speaking, I’m super proud of how the API integration turned out and the custom 3D slider I built for the awards section....

day 1, added saturns ring
long session about 3.5h got a proper chunk of time today so I worked with it properly, I added saturn’s ringtook a while to get the tilt right, ended up rotating the area around the planet and drawing the ellipse there instead of trying to math itinline. then spent most of the time just looking at it turned the orbit speeds so mercury actually goes faster around while neptune is slower, fiddled with the starfield twinkle so it doesn’t look like static, and refreshed the page a hundred times checking the ring from different angles. also started reading up on real keplerian elements from NASA’s data that’s the next thing, getting planets off circular orbits and onto actual ellipses. no fancy UI yet, still plain black terminal vibes, but it feels alive now.
kepler ellipses finally got the planets off circular orbits. gave each one a real eccentricity and major axis (which i knew nothing about till now lol) , then a newton raphson solver for kepler’s equation so they speed up and slow down like actual planets. mercury goes fast through perihelion now while neptune barely moves the difference in speed is way more obvious than with the old circles. took longer than i expected to stop the planets from drifting off their ellipses, but it’s better now. (i hope you can see the developmental process through my pics)
loader + terminal gave the page an opening animation text that prints line by line ( orrery v0.3 , loading 300 stars …. ok , kepler solver …….. ok ) with a progress bar, then fades into the system. got a navy palette. small change, but the page feels like it has life now
readme + ship polish: got feedback that my readme looked ai-generated so i rewrote the whole thing properly it has real info about how the kepler solver works, the feature list, how to run it, what’s next. also made the banner an actual frame of the app running instead of a logo. small stuff should be good to ship again 🤞
ok so after shipping i kept looking at the payout and the ratings and it was pretty obvious why the multiplier was low people said it looked cool but there was nothing to DO with it. fair. it was a screensaver. so i turned it into a sandbox. biggest change: the sim now runs on REAL orbital data. each planet has its actual semi-major axis (AU), eccentricity, and period from nasa’s jpl, and the sun actually sits at the true focus of every orbit now (before, the ellipses were centered on the sun which is wrong kepler’s first law says the sun is at a focus). i also found out my local copy of main.js was some old backup from day 1, so the kepler code i thought was there had vanished from disk good reminder to commit more. new stuff: click any planet and get a data panel with semi-major axis, eccentricity, period, live distance from the sun, mean anomaly and true anomaly pause/play + time speed slider (0-500x) + a real date picker, so you can jump to any date and see where the planets actually were. “where were the planets on my birthday” is now a use case instead of a screensaver solver view: the newton-raphson solve of kepler’s equation drawn on the canvas — auxiliary circle, M point, E point, and the iteration dots literally marching onto the answer. i think this is the coolest thing, you can watch the math converge orbit editor: eccentricity + orbit size sliders per planet, live reshape, reset to real values the moon orbiting earth at its real ~27 day period scroll to zoom the solver viz took the longest to get right because i wanted the construction to be mathematically correct, not just decorative. the moon was easy lol.
added asteroid belt and a comet to the orrery. 200 rocks between mars and jupiter, each on its own orbit with real kepler speeds they all at different rates based on their distance from the sun. the comet has a tail that always points away from the sun and gets brighter as it swings closer. took a while to get the tail direction right. still a single file no frameworks

Upload the game to itch.io(ik looks crap) Finish the project with three distinct minigames I really enjoy making it and learning a new game engine maybe i will continue to improve the game and add more minigames
Added the win scene between minigames(i forget about it gng lol)
News: -A brand new minigame where you have to smash your mouse button as much as you can -A volume settings so your hears dont explode while playing
For this devlog I didnt add anything new I just fixed some bugs and change some minigames after reading the feedbacks Fixs Capped the mosquito speed after it gets higher then 2000 Adjusted the unclog toilet minigame dificult to better match the players actual skill level Changes Changed the bomb minigame logic where now it spawns more bombs as you go trhough levels Wanna add 3 new minigames That’s it for now
NEWs Added a full new minigame called board driving Changes SFX bugs were fixed(hopefully) Troubles Actually none(weird) In depth The new minigame was pretty simple to code, there is a node with a code that spaw the cars prefabs after a node timer hits zero, the car prefab is just the math for set it’s velocity and going down and the skate board is a simple area 2D that checks if the player hit something(AKA car) and plays the sfx and shows the explosion sprite.

I’m working on a web-app which I’ve named ‘Lost&Found’. As the name suggests, it’s a community help oriented, supportive, efficient and easy to use application which people can hop onto to search for their lost belongings. The idea is to create match between lost items and found items based on their descriptions and filters to finally get a confidence match score of whether the item is actually the one the user is looking for ( basically checking if lost-item = found-item ) For now, the actual countable work i’ve done is created a few icons for the web_app and finalised on one which is followed by same favicon.
I spent this session working on more of the Lost&Found frontend. I worked on the news feed, the UI for reporting both lost and found items, and the notifications frontend. One thing I also noticed with Stardance: when I linked my other Hackatime projects (i was working on separate directories for client and server side) to this project, their tracked time got added to the time shown on my previous devlog. My first devlog originally showed around 1 hour, but after linking those projects it changed to 6h . It didn’t work like that previously on Flavortown. Other than that, the frontend is coming together and I’m getting closer to having the main Lost → Match → Notification flow fully connected.
Okay the progress is I made a few changes and improvements across the app to make the main user flow feel more complete. Up untill now was just the frontend part. I’ve also started working on the backend side of things, connecting the frontend features with the actual application logic and getting the necessary API functionality in place. There’s still quite a bit to connect and test, but the project is gradually moving from just having separate features to having everything work together as one proper application.
Today I worked on the admin dashboard. The idea behind it is to give me a simple overview of what’s happening across the platform instead of having to dig through individual reports. It includes stats for total lost reports, found reports, resolved cases, recovery rate, average resolution time, and the most common item categories. It doesn’t look the best but works for now..
This time I worked on adding light and dark mode. Previously the button was just sitting there doing nothing. Now the app can adapt to the user’s system theme instead of forcing them to pick one manually. If someone has their device set to dark mode, Lost&Found can follow that preference, while still giving them the option to switch between light and dark mode themselves. Still doing some small tweaks here and there, but this might be the final goodbye to frontend now
I’ve started working more on the backend! This time I focused on the lost and found reporting system, making sure the reports actually get sent through the API and saved properly in MongoDB. Each report is linked to the user who created it, along with things like the category, description, location, date, and image info. I also added some validation so the backend doesn’t just accept whatever the frontend sends. There were a few annoying little issues between the form, authentication, API and database, but I’ve got the main flow working now.
FINALLLLYY I’ve worked on the matching system. This is what the whole app was all about tbh. The backend compares lost and found posts instead of just showing everything as a possible match. It looks at things like the item category, description/details, location, and dates, so a lost wallet and a found wallet in a completely different place or with an impossible date won’t just get treated the same. I’m also working on the backend logic that calculates these matches and sends the relevant results back to the frontend. A certain kinda post and match is successfully tested and its GREEN > < but there’s still some testing to do with different combinations of posts and I’m not confident about it yet :’(
Been working on connecting the rest of the backend now. I got the resolving part done so when someone gets their item back, they can mark the case as resolved and it gets taken out of the active feed instead of sitting there like it’s still available. I also worked on the privacy policy agreement during signup, making sure that gets properly handled instead of just being a checkbox that does nothing. Apart from that I’ve connected the remaining reports, notifications, matching and user posts so they all actually talk to the backend properly. Most of the main stuff is pretty much done now, just a few small things left to fix and test. After that it should finally be ready to ship. Next devlog is basically going to be getting everything ready for deployment😋
Finally got the main workflow of Lost&Found working! The posting flow and matching system are connected now, so users can actually post lost or found items and the backend can go through the matching logic to find possible matches. I also finished up the remaining bits around resolving cases, notifications, and the other backend connections. I’ve now made the project deployable too. The frontend is hosted on Vercel and the backend is running on Render, and I’ve connected the two so the live app can actually communicate with the backend. There are obviously still things I can improve later, but for now the main workflow is working properly and the project is finally ready to ship.
I spent some time cleaning up the frontend code and styles to make the app faster and easier to maintain. Split up bloated pages: Broke down massive files like Item Detail, Recovery Requests, Feed, and Navbar into smaller subcomponents (modals, media previews, contact info, filters). Now editing one UI block won’t risk breaking the whole page. Fixed React state quirks: Switched Feed categories to derive directly with useMemo to skip extra re-renders, fixed initial edit form state, and added cleanup guards on API calls so navigating away doesn’t trigger memory leak warnings. Cleaned up the CSS: Replaced duplicated skeleton loaders and empty-state styles across 5 files with shared rules in index.css. Swapped hardcoded colors and overlays across all stylesheets for theme tokens so dark and light modes behave properly everywhere.
just improved the Readme a bit nothing much nothing more showed for review and now adjusted as per the recommendations. Now the next thing is finally the shipping of project Optimistic to hear your says on this😄😄
it seems the css wasnt responding well in feed page after the hosting. took me some time but i’ve fixed the code and it works as expected now :)
Rewrote the READMe from sctrach and tuned up the CSS a bit cus they asked ¯ _ (ツ)_/¯
I got idea from some other open source web-app and added a new “Recent activity feature in my admin dashboard”. Here’s also the recent data of what ya’ll have been doing ><
Ships:
I built Lost&Found mainly with the aim to make finding lost belongings a little less painful. Yes, it was a result of some disappointing personal experience.

The biggest changes started with the workflow system. I added reusable workflows with multiple transformation steps, keyboard shortcuts, additional paste formats, and import/export support. This was followed by a rules engine that can automatically organize clips based on things like source application, content type, language, URL domains, and regex matches. Rules can perform actions such as pinning clips, adding tags or collections, and triggering workflows. I then expanded temporary clipboard functionality with expiration timers, burn-after-paste, bulk controls, and smart-rule automation. The backup system has also grown alongside these features, with each database migration preserving more of the application’s data. The paste workflow received another major upgrade with the native Quick Paste overlay and a keyboard-first Paste Queue. Quick Paste supports filtering by recent, pinned, temporary, and source application clips, while the Paste Queue allows clips to be reordered, pasted individually with automatic advancement, or pasted as a complete queue. Named paste stacks and configurable separators make it especially useful for repetitive tasks. Search has also been completely reworked. Clipboard++ now uses SQLite FTS5 for much faster full-text searching, including phrases, exclusions, structured operators, suggestions, filter chips, and match highlighting. Searches can be saved locally as Smart Views and included in backups. Performance testing reached roughly 0.90 ms for 10,000 entries and 1.05 ms for 50,000 entries. Most recently, I focused on making clipboard data safer and more recoverable. Clipboard entries can now be edited directly with syntax preview, and every edit can be tracked through revision history with line-by-line diffs. Deleted clips go into a Recycle Bin where they can be restored, permanently deleted, or undone. Clips that expire or use burn-after-reading can also be recovered. Backups now preserve revisions and deleted items as well. Across these releases, the SQLite schema has progressed from v5 through v11 as the application gained more functionality. I’ve repeatedly tested migrations, backups, large clipboard histories, both Windows 11 themes, and native installers to make sure the growing feature set remains reliable. Clipboard++ has gone from a basic clipboard history application to a much more complete system for searching, transforming, organizing, automating, and recovering clipboard content. Thank you all so much for the support!!!", "repo": "https://github.com/Caleb-Guyer/ClipboardPlusPlus", "demo": "https://github.com/Caleb-Guyer/ClipboardPlusPlus/releases"}, {"ship_num": 3, "ts": "2026-08-06T16:59:12Z", "hours": 8.0, "multiplier": 12.58, "payout": 107, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "I built Clipboard++, a desktop clipboard manager designed to make copying and pasting much faster for programmers, students, and anyone who frequently reuses text or images. Windows’ built-in clipboard history is fairly limited, so I wanted to create something that makes organizing and finding previous clipboard items effortless. Along the way I added searchable clipboard history, favorites, image clipboard support with local OCR, automatic local clip naming, collections and tags, privacy controls, a command palette, bulk organization tools, customizable themes, and portable backup/restore. The biggest challenge was making all of the features work together while keeping the application responsive and reliable. I also spent a lot of time testing edge cases, preserving existing user data during updates, and making sure privacy-sensitive content could be excluded from history. I’m most proud that Clipboard++ has grown into something I would genuinely use every day. It has gone through multiple public releases, each adding meaningful quality-of-life improvements rather than just cosmetic changes. To test the project, download the Windows installer from the GitHub Releases page (or build it from source), launch Clipboard++, copy text or images as you normally would, and try searching, pinning, tagging, renaming, organizing, and restoring clipboard items. The project is completely local, so no account or internet connection is required after installation.", "repo": "https://github.com/Caleb-Guyer/ClipboardPlusPlus", "demo": "https://github.com/Caleb-Guyer/ClipboardPlusPlus/releases"}]...

I also added undo/redo and made the editor responsive for different Windows 11 layouts. You can now copy or export your edited result, or save it as an entirely new clip. I also added OCR for edited regions, including secure handling of the metadata needed for redactions. A big focus of this release was making sure the native rendering stays bounded for both performance and safety. Most importantly, the original image is never modified when making edits. I also spent a lot of time validating the release instead of just assuming everything worked.

I finished the first working version of Clipboard++ today. The application can now save clipboard history, search through copied items, pin important snippets, and quickly copy them back when needed. I also spent time polishing the interface to make it feel clean, responsive, and easy to use. Next, I plan to add more advanced features and continue refining the overall experience.
Made a huge update to Clipboard++ today. I added a full Settings & Privacy page with configurable history limits, pause/resume clipboard capture, launch at startup, customizable global shortcuts, and password manager exclusions so sensitive data isn’t saved. I also added dark, light, and system themes, update checking, and improved reliability with SQLite migrations, automated tests, and CI. After testing the app at multiple window sizes, I fixed a light theme contrast issue and packaged everything into a proper Windows installer for the v0.2.0 release.
Clipboard++ v0.3.0 is now live! This update adds image clipboard support with thumbnails, local Windows OCR for searchable text inside images, and one-click image copy-back. I also added image storage controls, pinned image protection, filtering, usage statistics, and more settings while polishing both the dark and light themes. I finished by testing everything, fixing bugs, and packaging a new public Windows release.
Clipboard++ v0.4.0 is released! This update focuses on making clipboard history much easier to organize by adding automatic local clip naming, editable custom names, color-coded collections, reusable tags, and powerful search across names, tags, clipboard content, and OCR text. I also added repeated-clip management, ensured existing clipboard history is preserved during upgrades, and finished another round of testing, bug fixes, and packaging for the latest public release.
Clipboard++ v0.5.0 is now available! This update adds several productivity features, including a Ctrl+K command palette, direct paste with Ctrl+Enter, multi-select for organizing multiple clips at once, and portable JSON backup and restore. I also introduced sensitive-content detection with customizable privacy terms, updated the documentation, and spent time testing, polishing, and preparing the latest public release.
Clipboard++ v0.6.0 is complete! This update focused on making the app much more powerful for everyday productivity. I added 14 built-in text and code transformations, reusable snippet templates with variables, and a new Ctrl+. shortcut that lets you instantly transform and paste clipboard content without leaving your workflow. I also updated the backup system to support templates, migrated the database to schema v5, and polished the Windows 11 dialogs in both dark and light mode for a more consistent experience.
Clipboard++ v0.7.0 is now complete! This update focused on making repetitive clipboard tasks much faster with reusable workflow pipelines. I added support for favorite workflows with up to 12 transformation steps, bounded regex find/replace, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+1 through Ctrl+Alt+9) for instantly launching workflows and templates, new paste formats including plain text, Markdown quotes, and JSON strings, plus workflow import/export for sharing or backing up custom setups. I also upgraded the database to schema v6 so workflows are included in backups, and polished the workflow editor and quick-action integration to make everything feel more seamless. Before releasing, I verified the project with TypeScript checks, a production frontend build, 39 Rust tests, interactive UI testing in both light and dark themes, and native MSI/NSIS builds.
Clipboard++ v0.8.0 is finished and officially live! This update adds a much smarter rules system for automatically organizing clipboard content. Clipboard++ can now track the source application and apply priority-ordered rules with AND conditions. Rules can match clips by application, content type, language, URL domain, or regex. I also added automatic actions based on those rules, including pinning clips, adding them to collections, applying tags, and triggering workflows. The new Rule Manager lets you reorder rules, test them inline, and export/import portable rule presets. Rules are also included in local backups, and the SQLite database has been upgraded to schema v7. Before releasing, I ran 44 Rust tests, TypeScript checks, production builds, browser UI testing, and the full GitHub CI/release workflows. Both MSI and NSIS installers were successfully built and published.
v0.9.0 is complete and published. This update was a pretty substantial one for Clipboard++. I added temporary clips with expiration timers, burn-after-paste, bulk controls, smart-rule automation, and backup support. I also updated the SQLite database to schema v8 to support the new functionality. A big part of this release was making sure everything actually held together after all the changes. All 46 Rust tests pass, TypeScript checks pass, and I visually verified both themes. I also built and tested both the MSI and NSIS installers.
This release adds one of the biggest features yet: a native Quick Paste overlay designed around keyboard-first searching and pasting. You can now quickly find clipboard entries without leaving what you’re doing, with filters for Recent, Pinned, Temporary, and source applications. I also added active-monitor positioning and full-library window restoration, so the UI behaves much more naturally across multiple monitors. Onboarding and accessibility got attention too, with a first-run guide and several accessibility improvements. Under the hood, Clipboard++ moved to SQLite schema v9, including integrity checks and recovery snapshots. I also tested the application with 5,000-entry clipboard histories to make sure the larger datasets remain manageable. Before publishing, I ran the full validation stack: 51 Rust tests, TypeScript checks, formatting, production frontend builds, visual QA, MSI packaging, and NSIS packaging.
Spent this session finishing and publishing Clipboard++ v1.1.0. The main focus was making the paste workflow much faster for users who prefer keyboard-driven interaction. I added a new Paste Queue that can be opened with Ctrl+Q, allowing clipboard entries to be reordered with Alt+↑ and Alt+↓, pasted individually with automatic advancement, or pasted as an entire queue. Separators can also be customized depending on how the queued content should be combined. I also added reusable named paste stacks, along with improvements to the favorite workflow and plain-text actions in Quick Paste. These features make Clipboard++ more useful for repetitive workflows where the same groups of clipboard items need to be pasted repeatedly. Under the hood, I updated the SQLite database to schema v10 and expanded the backup support to account for the new data. I also ran the full validation suite, including 53 Rust tests, TypeScript checks, production builds, visual QA, CI, and the GitHub release workflow.
Worked for this session on a major upgrade to Clipboard++’s search experience. v1.2.0 is now live with a much more powerful way to find clips across large histories. I added SQLite FTS5 Power Search, supporting phrases, exclusions, and structured search operators, along with search suggestions, removable filter chips, and match highlighting. I also added Smart Views, allowing useful searches to be saved and reused locally. Under the hood, this release includes the schema v11 migration plus backup and restore support for Smart Views. I also made additional responsive and light/dark Windows 11 UI improvements. One of the biggest things I wanted to verify was that the new search system would remain fast with large clipboard histories. Testing showed approximately 0.90 ms searches with 10,000 entries and 1.05 ms with 50,000 entries. Validation passed across CI and the release workflow, and v1.2.0 is now publicly released.
Clipboard++ v1.3.0 is now complete and published! This update focused on making clipboard history much more powerful and recoverable. I added a full clipboard editor with syntax preview, along with revision history that shows line-by-line differences between versions. Clipboard entries can now also be sent to a Recycle Bin, where they can be restored, permanently deleted, or undone exactly. I also added a duplicate-and-edit workflow and made expired and burn-after-reading clips recoverable. The backup format was updated as well so revisions and deleted items are preserved during backups and restores. During visual QA, I found and fixed a stale-row transition issue that could cause the clipboard list to display outdated information after changes.
Clipboard++ v1.4.0 is now live. This release adds a full-resolution Image Workspace with non-destructive cropping, along with editable and searchable OCR with support for selecting installed Windows languages. Images can now be exported as PNG, JPEG, or WebP, and the workspace also provides image metadata, transparency information, and an option to reveal the file in File Explorer. I also added schema v13 and backup support for OCR metadata. Before releasing, I ran the full native test suite with all 63 tests passing, verified the production build, completed visual QA, and confirmed that the GitHub CI and release workflows passed. The main worktree is clean and v1.4.0 is tagged.
v1.5.0 is finally complete and published! This was a pretty major update for Clipboard++, adding a full editor for modifying captured images while keeping the original clips untouched. The biggest part of this update was adding a bunch of editing tools, including permanent redaction, blur, pixelation, highlighting, shapes, arrows, pen drawing, and text. I also added undo/redo and made the editor responsive for different Windows 11 layouts. You can now copy or export your edited result, or save it as an entirely new clip. I also added OCR for edited regions, including secure handling of the metadata needed for redactions. A big focus of this release was making sure the native rendering stays bounded for both performance and safety. Most importantly, the original image is never modified when making edits. I also spent a lot of time validating the release instead of just assuming everything worked. TypeScript and production builds passed, all 66 Rust tests passed, and both MSI and NSIS installers built successfully. I also went through desktop and compact visual QA and checked for console errors. The GitHub CI and release workflows were tested as well, and everything is now published.
Clipboard++ v1.5.1 is focused on making the app feel calmer and more at home on Windows. I replaced the card-heavy clipboard history with a flatter list, reduced the purple styling, improved typography and metadata readability, and gave Quick Paste the same cleaner visual treatment. Keyboard controls and existing workflows remain unchanged. I also rewrote the README around the actual product, added real screenshots, and documented the Power Search benchmark with its hardware, query, and testing method. Before publishing, I tested compact window sizes, ran all 66 active Rust tests, built both Windows installers, and verified the release through GitHub Actions.
Ships:
I built Clipboard++, a desktop clipboard manager designed to make copying and pasting much faster for programmers, students, and anyone who frequently reuses text or images. Windows’ built-in clipboard history is fairly limited, so I wanted to create something that makes organizing and finding previous clipboard items effortless. Along the way I added searchable clipboard history, favorites, image clipboard support with local OCR, automatic local clip naming, collections and tags, privacy controls, a command palette, bulk organization tools, customizable themes, and portable backup/restore. The biggest challenge was making all of the features work together while keeping the application responsive and reliable. I also spent a lot of time testing edge cases, preserving existing user data during updates, and making sure privacy-sensitive content could be excluded from history. I’m most proud that Clipboard++ has grown into something I would genuinely use every day. It has gone through multiple public releases, each adding meaningful quality-of-life improvements rather than just cosmetic changes. To test the project, download the Windows installer from the GitHub Releases page (or build it from source), launch Clipboard++, copy text or images as you normally would, and try searching, pinning, tagging, renaming, organizing, and restoring clipboard items. The project is completely local, so no account or internet connection is required after installation.
Since the last ship, Clipboard++ has gone through a pretty massive expansion, with the focus shifting from a simple clipboard manager into a much more complete productivity tool. The biggest changes started with the workflow system. I added reusable workflows with multiple transformation steps, keyboard shortcuts, additional paste formats, and import/export support. This was followed by a rules engine that can automatically organize clips based on things like source application, content type, language, URL domains, and regex matches. Rules can perform actions such as pinning clips, adding tags or collections, and triggering workflows. I then expanded temporary clipboard functionality with expiration timers, burn-after-paste, bulk controls, and smart-rule automation. The backup system has also grown alongside these features, with each database migration preserving more of the application’s data. The paste workflow received another major upgrade with the native Quick Paste overlay and a keyboard-first Paste Queue. Quick Paste supports filtering by recent, pinned, temporary, and source application clips, while the Paste Queue allows clips to be reordered, pasted individually with automatic advancement, or pasted as a complete queue. Named paste stacks and configurable separators make it especially useful for repetitive tasks. Search has also been completely reworked. Clipboard++ now uses SQLite FTS5 for much faster full-text searching, including phrases, exclusions, structured operators, suggestions, filter chips, and match highlighting. Searches can be saved locally as Smart Views and included in backups. Performance testing reached roughly 0.90 ms for 10,000 entries and 1.05 ms for 50,000 entries. Most recently, I focused on making clipboard data safer and more recoverable. Clipboard entries can now be edited directly with syntax preview, and every edit can be tracked through revision history with line-by-line diffs. Deleted clips go into a Recycle Bin where they can be restored, permanently deleted, or undone. Clips that expire or use burn-after-reading can also be recovered. Backups now preserve revisions and deleted items as well. Across these releases, the SQLite schema has progressed from v5 through v11 as the application gained more functionality. I’ve repeatedly tested migrations, backups, large clipboard histories, both Windows 11 themes, and native installers to make sure the growing feature set remains reliable. Clipboard++ has gone from a basic clipboard history application to a much more complete system for searching, transforming, organizing, automating, and recovering clipboard content. Thank you all so much for the support!!!
Shipped Clipboard++ v1.5.1! This update introduces a cleaner Windows-style interface, a flatter clipboard list, improved Quick Paste readability, real product screenshots, and documented search benchmarks....

In terms of New Functions this ship introduces a new Dev mode by clicking the version number fast multiple times, it has a lot of informations about the startup, resource usage etc. For the future plans, I don’t have any new idea for now, the ones I had turned out to be not possible because of the api I have to use, I will probably fix the findings from the reviews of this ship + google playstore closed testing findings too.

The main problem was figuring out how the official university system “Neptun” works, and finding their API routes, but after figuring that out, the app works perfectly fine. This project makes major improvements over the official websites, First of all, every university has their own URL for the management site, that the students have to find / memorize, my app only needs the name of the university, and it automatically uses the saved address(es) from our list. Most universities have multiple urls/servers for “Neptun”, so if one is down, there is another. This again requires the users to figure out which server is up and usable, my app auto selects a server from the fallback list, if the default website is not available, and makes the switching seamless without even the users notice. The “Neptun” website also require users to login after 30min inactivity again, while in the same time most universities enabled the function to require 2fa for all accounts. While this is good for security, it makes checking your schedule grades etc a hassle. My app only needs users to enter their details once, and it wont ask for them again (except if the auth fails because of invalid credentials.), I know it might seems a security issue, that the app wont log users out, but the app is fully read only, as its only meant to check your data. these are the main improvements, but there are a lot more fun and usable features in the app, like detailed statistics etc. You can try the app out on https://nhnk.bali0531.hu via the live demo, or you can download it from github releases (and google play store too soon), but it requires a hungarian university student status to log in.

Rather than argue with my own eyes I took a screenshot and read the actual pixel values out of it, which took about a minute and saved me a lot of guessing. The background was 121212 when I had asked for pure black. Turned out the theme was never reaching the screen. The app builds its colour scheme without setting a surface colour, so every page fell back to Material’s own default grey and quietly ignored the palette it had been handed. One line, and the background went to 000000 and the cards to 080808. The bit I liked was the leftovers. A few tiles stayed light and I was about to go and edit the seventy something places that paint card backgrounds by hand, until I noticed the colour was 3B4548. That is not grey. Grey has equal channels. It was the teal accent bleeding in, because Material tints raised surfaces with your primary colour, so that was one setting too rather than an afternoon of find and replace. Also checked the contrast while I was in there and every accent clears AA on black between 9.37 and 18.80 to one, and found that choosing OLED did not survive the phone flipping to light mode and back, because the theme listener was overwriting whatever you picked. Not finished yet, the tile fix still needs a look on a real device."}, {"post_id": 62859, "ts": "2026-09-06T12:01:46Z", "hours": 9.5653, "text": "The old setup opened with a page of legal text and then asked whether you wanted to pick your school from a list or type in a Neptun URL, which is a strange thing to ask someone who has not been told what the app does yet. One of the reviews said it was a bit hard to set up and that was the honest version of it. It is four steps now with a bar across the top so you can see where the end is. Terms first, then a screen that actually says what NHNK is, then your school, then the login. The school search used to live behind that how do you want to log in question and now it is just the third step, so there is one less screen to get through. While testing it I typed obuda and got nothing back, because the school is called Óbudai Egyetem and I had not thought about accents. Nobody types those into a search box. It folds them now and there are tests so it stays that way. The screen I deleted was also quietly running the update check and the language prompt, which I only noticed on the last read through before removing it. Testing any of this used to mean wiping my own login, so debug builds install separately now."}, {"post_id": 62309, "ts": "2026-09-05T16:43:11Z", "hours": 5.9292, "text": "The next release replaces the login flow, so before touching anything I sat down and read the one I already have. It is four screens before anyone sees a timetable, all of them living in a single file of 2148 lines with five page classes in it. Disclosure, then pick how you want to log in, then find your university, then your Neptun code and password. The university list is 54 entries that I typed in by hand, and the app openly admits in its own description that your school might not be there. That is the part I keep coming back to, because someone whose university is missing has to understand what a Neptun URL is before they can get in. I also found out I had a note wrong. I had written down that the app forces Hungarian and needs country detection added. It does not. It already reads the phone language and falls back to English for anything it does not have. Good thing I checked before building a feature that exists. The genuinely awkward bit is the disclaimer. Translations get downloaded from GitHub while the app runs, which is lovely for adding languages and completely wrong for legal text, since nothing downloaded should be able to rewrite what the disclaimer says. So it is compiled in, and the one screen that most needs to be understood is the one screen stuck in two languages. I do not have a clean answer for that yet. Smaller things I wrote down. A class called SetupPageInstitudeSelection, spelled that way in eleven places. One university with its URL fixed up by hand inside the login handler. The Linux desktop build does not compile at all, which I only discovered because I tried to run the first-run flow there rather than wipe my own account off my phone.

They had a class at nine. The 00:00 was not a rounding problem or a timezone problem, it was every day, for everyone, since the widget shipped. When the app caches your week it stores the date as midnight on purpose, because the check for whether the cache is a day old compares whole days. The widget read that same value and printed the clock part of it, so it was showing you the definition of midnight rather than when anything happened. Reading the fetch path to fix it turned up a worse one. If a refresh fails the app puts the old rows back so you still have something to look at, which is right, but then it saves them again with today’s date on them. A week of failed refreshes and the cache still swears it is current. Restored rows keep their original timestamp now. The widget cannot fetch anything by itself, so past a day it says to open the app instead of telling you your day is empty. I nearly shipped that badly too, because the new timestamp only gets written on a real fetch, so every existing user would have been told to refresh the moment they updated. It falls back to the old date for them until their next fetch. An empty widget is fine.

There is an endpoint for it sitting in my own code that I have never called, except it only exists on the old API and the modern one has no equivalent among the ten endpoints I use. The one call that touches your programme at all already runs on every startup, and it returns three fields: whether the training is current, its id, and its name. Not a credit count anywhere.

Play Store closed testing is in progress!
Fixed some bugs, added widgets, offline mode and a lot more stuff. 5/14 days done until playstore prod release.
Added live demo for the app to the website.
I was shipping 20 MB that nobody downloads
Was adding a stats page and realised the app had been downloading all 6 of my semesters this whole time and then throwing away everything except the last one. So now there’s actual history: semester averages, credits, grade distribution, on charts I painted by hand because adding a chart library for two graphs felt dumb.Also found out cancelled payments were counting as money you’d spent, so it was telling you that you’d paid 5000 Ft you never paid. Fixed that too. 1.2.3 is out.
Your exams were always in the app, you just had to guess which week to scroll to. Built an Upcoming screen that pulls every exam, deadline and open registration period into one list with countdowns, plus a degree progress ring and proper subject pages that finally put the grade, the classes and the exam together.
Spent the last stretch on the parts of the project that aren’t the app itself. Rewrote the README three times. First pass just bolted an English version onto the Hungarian one and it ballooned to 351 lines. Second pass I tried to make it “proper” and somehow ended up at 3,185 words, which is longer than most of my essays and nobody was ever going to read it.

Not the most exciting work but the feedback from last ship was that people couldn’t tell what the project was if they didn’t speak Hungarian, so this was the fix.
Last ship’s feedback was blunt: five people said they couldn’t tell what the project was because they don’t read Hungarian.

My app ships a 22.9 MB emoji font to draw 28 emoji. It’s bundled on purpose, so the icons look identical on every phone instead of Samsung doing its own thing. Fine goal. But it’s the whole font, 1485 codepoints, sitting in the base module so every single user downloads all of it.

Separately, my last release failed twice for reasons that had nothing to do with me: CI tracked Flutter stable, stable moved to 3.47, and it raised the minimum Gradle and then the minimum AGP. Pinned CI to the version I actually build with.
I have been shipping features for weeks without ever measuring any of them. So I plugged the phone in and actually timed things, and the Upcoming screen I added last week turned out to fire eight calendar requests one after another. One slow week took 3.2 seconds and the other seven just sat in the queue behind it. Sending them four at a time took the whole thing from 3987ms to 297ms. Then while I was reading the log I noticed every haptic in the app has been throwing an exception instead of vibrating, because I gave Android an amplitude list of the wrong length in all seven places, so vibration has never once worked.
Last release I added timers to the app. This one I finally pointed them at startup, and the answer was annoying: 153ms of a 251ms cold start was one function, and 128ms of that was six separate trips to the Android keystore to read six saved values one at a time. None of which the timetable needs, because it draws from cache. I have a fix half done that reads them once and starts before anything asks, but while measuring I noticed the bigger problem is that startup waits for those values at all, and unpicking that means changing six getters used in 46 places, so that is the next few evenings.
Last time I said the real problem was that startup waits for the keystore at all, and that fixing it meant making six getters async across a pile of call sites. Did it, and it went from 239ms to 144ms because the timetable comes out of the cache and never needed a password in the first place. What I did not expect was that the compiler only caught 22 of the 27 places that broke, because the last five build the old API request body by gluing strings together, and a string is happy to take a Future and turn it into “Instance of ‘Future<String?>’”. So those five would have quietly posted that to the university as my password instead of failing, which I only found because I went looking after the analyser had already gone green.
Someone told me the timetable export says “unsupported file type” on their phone, and then mine did it too, which at least made it easy to chase. Turns out the plugin I use picks the file type from a big list of extensions and there is no entry for ics, so it falls through to / and Android hands that to whatever generic file previewer the manufacturer ships, which obviously cannot read a calendar. The annoying part is the phone had the right app the whole time, because Honor’s calendar registers itself for text/calendar and I just never asked for it. One extra argument and the export now offers the calendar first, which ships in the next update.
Spent this one adding screen reader labels to the cards that never had any, and then dumping the accessibility tree off the phone to check what actually comes out. Two things fell out of that: the order was backwards everywhere, so cards read their details before the name of the thing, and that was true of labels I shipped months ago too. The honest scoreboard is three of seven card types verified, payments is impossible for me to check because my account has no bills on it, and I have not run an actual screen reader yet, only read the tree, which tells me nothing about focus order or whether you can even swipe to them. So this one is going into closed testing before it gets a tag.
I added screen reader labels to the payments, messages and periods cards, then dumped the accessibility tree off the phone to actually hear what came out. Good thing, because the order was backwards: every card read its details first and the name of the thing last, so a subject announced itself as “6 credits, not completed, Introduction to Programming”. That was true of the markbook labels I shipped months ago as well, which nobody had ever mentioned to me. Also finished the calendar export fix from last time, so exporting your timetable no longer tells you the file type is unsupported.
Someone reviewing the last ship said my contrast was bad, the corners did not match and things needed more padding, so instead of squinting at it I went and measured all three. Every accent colour in the light theme failed WCAG AA, and the worst was the one I use for links and section headers, sitting at 1.43 to 1, which is pale blue text on pale grey. Then I counted the corner radii and found fifteen different values across 88 places, which is exactly the kind of thing you stop seeing in your own app. The padding one turned out to be a single number, the search box above the message list had zero bottom padding, and while I was looking at spacing I finally noticed the week switcher on the timetable has always been two separate boxes of different widths with mismatched corners, pretending to be one panel.
Next release I want a developer tab that shows what the app is storing and every request it makes, which sounds harmless right up until you remember my app is holding somebody’s Neptun password. So before writing any of it I went through all 77 things it keeps on disk, and only 46 can have their value put on screen. The trap was sorting by key name, because CachedMarkbook_3 sounds like nothing and is actually somebody’s grades, so that whole group gets to show its size and age and nothing else. The one that nearly got me is the calendar export link, which keeps working with no session at all, meaning the URL is the credential, and a network log that prints URLs would have published it in plain text.
Tap the version seven times and the app now has a developer tab: startup timings, every request it makes, how stale each cache is, and how many frames it dropped. The interesting part was not building it, it was working out what it is allowed to say, because this thing is holding somebody’s Neptun password. So the list of stored keys is an allowlist rather than a blocklist, meaning a key I add next year is hidden until I say otherwise, and the cached grades and messages only ever show their size. The redaction lives in the recorder instead of the screen, which matters more than it sounds, because one of my own URLs turned out to be a credential and a log that printed URLs would have published it.
The statistics page asks you to type how many credits your degree is, which has always annoyed me because Neptun obviously knows. So I went looking, and it will not tell me. There is an endpoint for it sitting in my own code that I have never called, except it only exists on the old API and the modern one has no equivalent among the ten endpoints I use. The one call that touches your programme at all already runs on every startup, and it returns three fields: whether the training is current, its id, and its name. Not a credit count anywhere. I even tried working it out from the programme name and that failed too, because it is a plain string with no BSc or MSc in it. So the box where you type 180 stays, and the release that was going to remove it does not exist. An evening to find that out is a lot cheaper than half a feature.
Someone sent me a screenshot of the home screen widget saying they had no classes, last updated 00:00. They had a class at nine. The 00:00 was not a rounding problem or a timezone problem, it was every day, for everyone, since the widget shipped. When the app caches your week it stores the date as midnight on purpose, because the check for whether the cache is a day old compares whole days. The widget read that same value and printed the clock part of it, so it was showing you the definition of midnight rather than when anything happened. Reading the fetch path to fix it turned up a worse one. If a refresh fails the app puts the old rows back so you still have something to look at, which is right, but then it saves them again with today’s date on them. A week of failed refreshes and the cache still swears it is current. Restored rows keep their original timestamp now. The widget cannot fetch anything by itself, so past a day it says to open the app instead of telling you your day is empty. I nearly shipped that badly too, because the new timestamp only gets written on a real fetch, so every existing user would have been told to refresh the moment they updated. It falls back to the old date for them until their next fetch. An empty widget is fine. An empty widget that looks confident is not.
The next release replaces the login flow, so before touching anything I sat down and read the one I already have. It is four screens before anyone sees a timetable, all of them living in a single file of 2148 lines with five page classes in it. Disclosure, then pick how you want to log in, then find your university, then your Neptun code and password. The university list is 54 entries that I typed in by hand, and the app openly admits in its own description that your school might not be there. That is the part I keep coming back to, because someone whose university is missing has to understand what a Neptun URL is before they can get in. I also found out I had a note wrong. I had written down that the app forces Hungarian and needs country detection added. It does not. It already reads the phone language and falls back to English for anything it does not have. Good thing I checked before building a feature that exists. The genuinely awkward bit is the disclaimer. Translations get downloaded from GitHub while the app runs, which is lovely for adding languages and completely wrong for legal text, since nothing downloaded should be able to rewrite what the disclaimer says. So it is compiled in, and the one screen that most needs to be understood is the one screen stuck in two languages. I do not have a clean answer for that yet. Smaller things I wrote down. A class called SetupPageInstitudeSelection, spelled that way in eleven places. One university with its URL fixed up by hand inside the login handler. The Linux desktop build does not compile at all, which I only discovered because I tried to run the first-run flow there rather than wipe my own account off my phone. Four screens is not really the problem. Not knowing which of them people give up on is.
The old setup opened with a page of legal text and then asked whether you wanted to pick your school from a list or type in a Neptun URL, which is a strange thing to ask someone who has not been told what the app does yet. One of the reviews said it was a bit hard to set up and that was the honest version of it. It is four steps now with a bar across the top so you can see where the end is. Terms first, then a screen that actually says what NHNK is, then your school, then the login. The school search used to live behind that how do you want to log in question and now it is just the third step, so there is one less screen to get through. While testing it I typed obuda and got nothing back, because the school is called Óbudai Egyetem and I had not thought about accents. Nobody types those into a search box. It folds them now and there are tests so it stays that way. The screen I deleted was also quietly running the update check and the language prompt, which I only noticed on the last read through before removing it. Testing any of this used to mean wiping my own login, so debug builds install separately now.
Added an OLED theme, picked it on my phone, and most of the screen was still grey. Rather than argue with my own eyes I took a screenshot and read the actual pixel values out of it, which took about a minute and saved me a lot of guessing. The background was 121212 when I had asked for pure black. Turned out the theme was never reaching the screen. The app builds its colour scheme without setting a surface colour, so every page fell back to Material’s own default grey and quietly ignored the palette it had been handed. One line, and the background went to 000000 and the cards to 080808. The bit I liked was the leftovers. A few tiles stayed light and I was about to go and edit the seventy something places that paint card backgrounds by hand, until I noticed the colour was 3B4548. That is not grey. Grey has equal channels. It was the teal accent bleeding in, because Material tints raised surfaces with your primary colour, so that was one setting too rather than an afternoon of find and replace. Also checked the contrast while I was in there and every accent clears AA on black between 9.37 and 18.80 to one, and found that choosing OLED did not survive the phone flipping to light mode and back, because the theme listener was overwriting whatever you picked. Not finished yet, the tile fix still needs a look on a real device.

This project’s (NHNK = “Nem Hivatalos Neptun Kliens”, or in english “Unofficial Neptun Client” so you can say unc) goal is to make the life of university students easier, by creating a mobile app that lets them view their schedule, grades, statistics, upcoming events, messages and a lot more in one place, without the need to login every 30 minutes. The main problem was figuring out how the official university system “Neptun” works, and finding their API routes, but after figuring that out, the app works perfectly fine. This project makes major improvements over the official websites, First of all, every university has their own URL for the management site, that the students have to find / memorize, my app only needs the name of the university, and it automatically uses the saved address(es) from our list. Most universities have multiple urls/servers for “Neptun”, so if one is down, there is another. This again requires the users to figure out which server is up and usable, my app auto selects a server from the fallback list, if the default website is not available, and makes the switching seamless without even the users notice. The “Neptun” website also require users to login after 30min inactivity again, while in the same time most universities enabled the function to require 2fa for all accounts. While this is good for security, it makes checking your schedule grades etc a hassle. My app only needs users to enter their details once, and it wont ask for them again (except if the auth fails because of invalid credentials.), I know it might seems a security issue, that the app wont log users out, but the app is fully read only, as its only meant to check your data. these are the main improvements, but there are a lot more fun and usable features in the app, like detailed statistics etc. You can try the app out on https://nhnk.bali0531.hu via the live demo, or you can download it from github releases (and google play store too soon), but it requires a hungarian university student status to log in. (For non hungarian people who are interested in the app, a DEMO mode is also available in the app itself, but at that point you can just check it out on the website without downloading anything.
The previous ship was about fixing up the basics and making everyting work as intended. If you are interested in the main points of this project etc make sure to read the previous ship description too. In this ship I focused on optimizing the app, making the load time shorter, fixing some bugs like haptics etc, also logged the readme and website rework too. This ship is mainly for ending this stage before I start working on new features and more fixes. I optimized almost everything I can, made loading parallel where it was possible etc. Next ship will be packed with new features, I plan to add a dev mode to help find and debug edge cases or loading issues / resource leaks, also planning to add an “OOBE” to make the onboarding more seamless and modern. (No new images for this ship, since most of the changes are code related and not cosmetical. )
Last ship was about optimizing stuff and fixing small bugs, while this ship is a bit more focused on new features, a new OOBE page, dev mode for advanced statistics about the application, and another batch of bug and UI fixes. So the main goal was to make the app look better and provide a better experience while using it overall + making it easier to diagnose possible problems through the devmode. UI/UX fixes include a new OLED theme, fixed overlapping elements, fixed contrast of the pages. For the UX part a new Out Of Box Experience, its basically a new login/info flow on first start, so now instead of separate pages for TOS/PP login, institution search etc, everything is on one seemless experience. It had some bug fixes too, like the .ics calendar exporting and auto-updating has been fixed now. Also fixed the broken widgets too so now it actually shows what classes you have that day. In terms of New Functions this ship introduces a new Dev mode by clicking the version number fast multiple times, it has a lot of informations about the startup, resource usage etc. For the future plans, I don’t have any new idea for now, the ones I had turned out to be not possible because of the api I have to use, I will probably fix the findings from the reviews of this ship + google playstore closed testing findings too. If you have any good idea make sure to write it down in the reviews / on the github page. (or on discord at @ bali411)...

-added 3 new duck image windows (draggable + click to disappear), can be summoned using header -organized CSS and JS scripts to another folder (for organization) -formatted so that time says “launching welcome page” when loading (it’s a hint that you can click it to show the welcome window!) goal is to add more easter eggs and make this more interesting!

I’m excited for this project :) -added app icons -coded a hints button (hidden) -added a secret door… somewhere ;) -gave the secret door hints (if the user clicks it, it’s locked and says nothing; if the user clicks it a second time without completing the first task, the door gives a hint); this is to prevent users from getting frustrated!
