I made a game where you type out commands and different words as they appear on the screen, to “hack” and move through each level or play through endless mode. Biggest challenge was the screen kept freezing after you lost, which took about an hour of research to fix. The thing I am most proud of is the endless mode where after a certain amount of time it gets faster and faster, adding a fun dynamic to the game. I hope everyone enjoys this simple little game I made!...

Better yet, there is a live demo now, so you can poke at the overlay in your browser without installing a thing. Quick runthrough of what changed. You can add any game you want now. This is the big one, you can point Meister at whatever game you play. Add a game, hand it a name, a wiki address, and the game’s .exe, and the overlay switches to it the moment you launch. Under the hood every guide, chat, and setting got tagged with the game it belongs to, so nothing bleeds between them. Minecraft is still around as the founding test game, seeded on first run, but it is just one row in the ledger now instead of the whole world. I kicked the tires on the new path with Subnautica, and it took. A game you just added has no offline guides, and making you download an entire wiki before your first question is a rude way to say hello. So Meister does not. Ask about a game it has nothing on and it grabs the relevant wiki pages right then and answers from those. The big download is now a thing you do for full offline coverage, not a toll you pay to get started.What if the guides are empty and the wiki does not have the page either? Last resort: a plain web search. Local guides first, then the live wiki, then the open web. I built it on Brave’s API, got it humming, then realized I had quietly made the app need an API key just to function… swapped Brave for DuckDuckGo, which needs no key. That one change settled the app’s whole character: it works online the second you open it, and earns an offline mode once you download guides. Almost every game wiki lives on Fandom, and I had built the fetch path against minecraft.wiki, which has a tidy extension that hands you clean article text. Fandom does not have it. So for every Fandom game the fetch ran, reported success, and stored exactly zero articles. Subnautica came back empty every single time and nothing was failing, which is the worst kind of bug. The fix was to sniff whether a wiki has that extension and, when it does not, ask for the rendered page and yank the readable text out of the HTML myself. Subnautica started returning real articles. 👍 For three milestones “Meister Guide” meant a folder of Python you ran from a terminal. Now it is a single Windows .exe you double-click, fonts and database and all. But the .exe is Windows-only and asks you to trust a download, which is a lot for someone who just wants a look. So I built a browser version, the same walnut-and-brass overlay, a working wiki reader, the game switcher, and Ask Meister streaming pre-baked answers with their sources, all from one HTML file with no backend and no key. It ships with Minecraft and Subnautica so you can feel the game switch yourself.

Those pages are redirects, signposts that say “you meant the Canine article,” and my scraper skipped every signpost. The content existed, I just never saved the names people type. Now it walks the redirects and folds those names into search, and plurals work too, so “creepers” finds “Creeper.” Phase 2 Added Claude as an alternative to the local model.Cheap to do, because the chat code already streamed from “a model,” so I made it stop caring which one.

Devlog 1 So, I have been working for a while in the mc plugin scene and each and every time a few things often come back when doing custom servers, mainly custom items. While the process of making one is easier then ever due to the changes in the last few years it is still quite annoying, mainly having to manually write json or copy-pasting while changing a few values. You also have to make sure everything matches up back in java. If you are working with modern modding api’s, such as neoforge and fabric, you will get a tool called DataGen which helps writing the json for you with the minimal amount of lines for diverse things such as loot tables, item models, etc. So I decided to make one for paper and to have a custom item related classes and also have the option to build the resource pack on the fly for quick updates. It is currently messy due to the fact that I am directly interracting with the POJO that mirror the json of a resource pack, I am planning on making a nicer api to make the process faster and cleaner.
Devlog #2 So, been a few days and I have been able to test and improve the current item API. We now have: Raw item models and raw item models definition A custom item API which handles left click and right click detection Pack hosting The next step is still related to items, mainly stuff like custom equipment such as armor, wings, saddles. Also coming soon is pack icon and sounds.
Devlog #3 So I got a bit carried away and decided that it could be a good idea to add velocity support. Currently, and what it is planned to do is pack hosting and generation, the actual logic for item is still ran on the backend server and it is not included in velocity which allows for code separation between common, velocity, and paper. I also started making presets for equipment and added custom font support. I also removed minecraft 26.1.2 in favor to 26.2 to support new features. The next step is still the equipment api such as custom armor and elytra’s. I think the next step after is tools. Linked is a demo of the custom font for ranks, note that it does not generate the rank texture but could be a good idea in the future.
Devlog #4 I added in what will soon be version Alpha-0.2.0 the new equipment API. It includes, Saddles, Helmets, Chest plates, Leggings, and boots. The next step is re-writing the sound API prototype in common and implementing. Features soon to be added also include food and weapons
Devlog #5 so I added a few features and did a few refactors of the API. I have added all mob variants, painting variants and Jukebox songs. A few added features and edits to the API are : Damage Types Sword & Tools (waiting for a rewrite) Mob Variants Painting Variants Jukebox songs Armor (Missing some for mobs other the humanoid) Durability has been added
Devlog #6 As the final devlog here is a quick screenshot of the demo server, with all feature implemented and ready. Armor, tools, mob variant, music disc, painting.
Devlog #7 from this point it’s mostly extra stuff that its convenient to have Pantheon handle it. this update just adds consumable and patches to certain bugs!
Devlog #8 Small refactor and additions, mainly the fact that the data package is now apart of version specific code moving forward due the need of bukkit code moving forward. It also means a support for papercm Key will be added
Devlog #9 I added support for credits
Devlog #10 I mainly ported the plugin to 26.3, some testing notably with the data pack elements that were previously implemented need to be tested. I am currently still working on making the primitives for the datapack elements currently I have added world clocks, villager trades, banner patterns, decorated pots, and for the few other look at the commit history! I also ported the commands to the Brigadier API to have the TAB completion work better.
Ships:
I made a custom item framework that auto builds the resource pack JSON for you while allowing custom behavior on different events. The most challenging part was the NMS that is needed in the bootstrap phase to add certain datapack element written in Java to the registry. I am most proud of how powerful it is and open unlike alternative who often offer a poor developer experience. To this the project you should join the ip linked in the demo.md file under demo url on Minecraft Java 26.2 which is the demo project....

This made the wiring much simpler and reduced the number of components inside the robot. With that change, I finished assembling the entire robot in about 4–5 hours. I made a few minor tweaks to the 3D-printed parts to improve the fit of some components, but overall the design worked as planned and everything came together successfully. Once the hardware was complete, I started testing and tuning the PID controller. This was the first time the robot attempted to balance on its own. After adjusting the PID values through several rounds of testing, I got the robot to balance for around 10–20 seconds before it eventually tipped over.

While assembling everything, I discovered a design mistake, I forgot to include mounting locations for the buck converter and the MPU-6050 IMU. Since the IMU is one of the most important sensors for a balancing robot, I couldn’t leave it out. I went back into CAD, redesigned the electronics holder, and reprinted the updated version with proper mounting points for both components. On the software side, I spent more time learning about PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control. After researching how each value affects the robot’s behavior, I now have a solid understanding of how PID works and how I’ll tune it once the robot is assembled. This should make the balancing process much easier when I begin testing.

After several revisions, I 3D printed the parts and tested the fit of the electronics. I also spent a significant amount of time researching PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control. Since PID is what allows a self-balancing robot to stay upright, I wanted to understand how each part of the algorithm affects the robot’s behavior. I studied how PID controllers respond to movement, how tuning works, and how other balancing robots use PID to maintain stability. Although there is still a lot of work ahead, this was an important step because it established the foundation for both the hardware and software of the project."}, {"post_id": 15385, "ts": "2026-06-25T00:41:05Z", "hours": 2.4564, "text": "Dev Log #1 – Designing the Self-Leveling Robot Today I began work on my PID self-leveling robot project.

After finalizing the concept, I created the 3D models for the main structural parts and prepared them for assembly. A major focus was making sure the design would be sturdy while keeping the center of gravity in a good position for balancing. Once the modeling was complete, I started assembling the printed and purchased components to verify that everything fit together correctly. This stage helped identify areas that may need adjustments before moving on to electronics integration and PID tuning.

The first step was designing the robot in CAD and deciding what components would be included in the final build. I spent time planning the overall structure, thinking about where the motors, battery, controller, and sensors would be mounted to keep the robot balanced and compact. After finalizing the concept, I created the 3D models for the main structural parts and prepared them for assembly. A major focus was making sure the design would be sturdy while keeping the center of gravity in a good position for balancing. Once the modeling was complete, I started assembling the printed and purchased components to verify that everything fit together correctly. This stage helped identify areas that may need adjustments before moving on to electronics integration and PID tuning. Next steps include completing the mechanical assembly, mounting the electronics, and beginning development of the balancing algorithm.
Dev Log #2 – Designing the Brain Today I focused on designing and building the brain of my self-balancing robot. I started by creating a custom 3D model to hold the robot’s electronics, including the controller and motor driver. Since space is limited on a balancing robot, I spent a lot of time adjusting dimensions and component placement to make sure everything would fit correctly. After several revisions, I 3D printed the parts and tested the fit of the electronics. I also spent a significant amount of time researching PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control. Since PID is what allows a self-balancing robot to stay upright, I wanted to understand how each part of the algorithm affects the robot’s behavior. I studied how PID controllers respond to movement, how tuning works, and how other balancing robots use PID to maintain stability. Although there is still a lot of work ahead, this was an important step because it established the foundation for both the hardware and software of the project.
Dev Log #3 – Hardware Complete! Today is a big milestone for the self-balancing robot. I officially finished designing all of the 3D models and printed the final parts.(NOT AT ALL) The robot’s main structure is now complete, and all of the electronics have a place to be mounted. While assembling everything, I discovered a design mistake, I forgot to include mounting locations for the buck converter and the MPU-6050 IMU. Since the IMU is one of the most important sensors for a balancing robot, I couldn’t leave it out. I went back into CAD, redesigned the electronics holder, and reprinted the updated version with proper mounting points for both components. On the software side, I spent more time learning about PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control. After researching how each value affects the robot’s behavior, I now have a solid understanding of how PID works and how I’ll tune it once the robot is assembled. This should make the balancing process much easier when I begin testing. I’m also starting work on a complete wiring diagram to make assembly cleaner and reduce wiring mistakes before powering everything on for the first time.
Dev Log #4 – First Balance Tests This week I made a lot of progress and got the robot fully assembled. After going through the wiring again, I realized I didn’t actually need the buck converter. Instead, I powered the ESP32 through USB while the battery powers the motors. This made the wiring much simpler and reduced the number of components inside the robot. With that change, I finished assembling the entire robot in about 4–5 hours. I made a few minor tweaks to the 3D-printed parts to improve the fit of some components, but overall the design worked as planned and everything came together successfully. Once the hardware was complete, I started testing and tuning the PID controller. This was the first time the robot attempted to balance on its own. After adjusting the PID values through several rounds of testing, I got the robot to balance for around 10–20 seconds before it eventually tipped over. While it’s not stable enough yet, it’s a huge step forward because the control system is working and now only needs further tuning and refinement.
Dev Log #5 – Project Complete! I wrapped up the final parts of the project by preparing everything for release. I finished writing the GitHub README, making sure it included all of the information someone would need to understand, build, and test the robot. I also organized the project files so they would be easy to navigate and use. To demonstrate the project, I created a video showing the self-balancing robot in action. The video explains what the robot does and gives people a look at the final build and balancing performance. Finally, I uploaded all of the 3D-printable parts to Printables so anyone can download and print the components themselves. This makes it much easier for others to recreate the project without having to design the parts from scratch. The project is officially complete!
DEV LOG 6? - just a nothing log to pass time for ship i did not do much i just finished github and that is all
Ships:
I made a self leveling robot that uses an ESP32, an MPU6050 sensor, and two motors to balance itself without falling over. It reads the angle of the robot and uses a PID controller to keep it standing up. The hardest part was tuning the PID values because even a small change could make the robot shake a lot or fall over. I also had to redesign some of my 3D printed parts because I forgot to leave room for some of the electronics. I’m most proud that I got it to actually balance since it took a lot of testing and problem solving. It was one of the more difficult robots I’ve made. To test the project, first connect your phone or computer to the robot’s Wi-Fi access point. Then open a web browser and go to the IP adress it prints. From there you can connect to the robot and control it. Place the robot on a flat surface while holding it, then slowly let go. It should try to balance itself. If it shakes a lot or starts drifting, the PID values might need to be adjusted a little....

So, I tried connecting the future with the historical data, changed a few things, and even wondered if I had done Polynomial Regression completely wrong. Turns out… the model wasn’t the problem. Regression doesn’t make random ups and downs, it simply learns the overall trend from the historical data and continues it into the future.

When I almost like coded 3 out of 5 graphs, only then did I realise that I had the MAIN ingredient wrong: the data. To be exact, when I first downloaded the datasets, they seemed to have everything I needed: 🌡️ Temperatures from the 1940s to 2025 📅 Year-wise timeline 🌍 Data for cities and countries ❓Temperature anomaly (wait… what is this?) At first, I honestly thought Temperature Anomaly was just a fancy way of saying temperature change. Turns out I need to work a bit harder on both my SAT English and this project. 😅 Because when I looked into the csv in detail the Temperature anomaly was like in range of -0.000342 to 4.66247 and this was for like every single country each varing differently. After a bit of Googling and reading, I discovered that ** temperature anomaly is not the actual temperature**. Instead, it measures how much warmer or cooler a place is compared to its average temperature during a reference period. That meant I had a huge problem. My country data was already stored as temperature anomalies, but my city data contained actual temperatures. I was unknowingly comparing two completely different measurements in the same project. If I had continued like that, my comparisons would have been misleading, my rankings would have been unfair, and my prediction model would have been built on inconsistent data. So… I stopped everything. I went back, learned how temperature anomalies are calculated, converted all of my city datasets to use the same measurement, and rebuilt the affected parts of the project. It definitely wasn’t the plan, but I’m glad I caught the mistake before shipping the project. End of story……. Besides this I improved my horrible looking homepage (the simple screenshot) and now it definitely looks like something to look at (the attractive homepage) this also had me going through streamlit’s documentation and continuous learning…… which I am getting fed up of but again that is what coding means right?😅 Lastly I did also complete my 4 out of 5 graphs which is definitely a relief (pheww) and now all that’s left todo is Graph 5 Improved UI of all the graph pages About page Girls and Guys I would love to have your feedback for my project (PLZ PLZ PLZ suggest improvements 😭😭😭😭) Byeeee!!!!!

With the datasets now prepared FINALLY, I’m ready to start building the visualisations and bringing the app to life. See you in the next devlog! 🌎✨
Devlog # 2 Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! 😊 Thankfully, I got out of the data cleaning phase. This week, I had my mind on the design and page layout of my web application, as well as the visualisations that will bring my idea to life. 🖥️ Planning the Website I thought my web application would have a structure like this: A Homepage 5 pages, each having a different graph type for each country An About page But everyone, the main challenge was that I had never worked with streamlit so in short, I had to learn it, and for me, tutorials almost never worked for me, so I had to go through documentation every single time, and this got me a lot of time spent on it instead of code. 🎨 Building the Homepage As I was trying to set up my homepage, I wanted something like this (this picture of the homepage is the inspo from ChatGPT ) So I started with the title and the choices, but when I wanted to take the user to that specific page of the graph, I got this error ( the picture with the error message). This had me stuck for almost an hour or so until I got it right, and FINALLY, my homepage was done. ( the homepage in black with the text “Earth Kept a record(in red), Here it is!!). Seeing this, **I was in the air!!!! YAAAAY!!!🎉🎉 ** 📈 First Graph first try I also started working on my first visualisation: the Temperature Trends Graph. This graph enables users to select a city or country and view how temperatures have evolved, utilising real climate data.To make it more visually appealing, I added a color-gradient effect to the graph. I did get some help from AI while experimenting with the design, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’s the first graph of the project, and I am gonna still work on it, and this progress makes me feel really GOOD.. 🌎(finally YAAAY YAAAY🎉🎉🎉) ✨That’s all for this week’s progress! See you in Devlog #3 🚀
🚨 I USED THE WRONG DATA ALL ALONG… So Storytime!!!! When I almost like coded 3 out of 5 graphs, only then did I realise that I had the MAIN ingredient wrong: the data. To be exact, when I first downloaded the datasets, they seemed to have everything I needed: 🌡️ Temperatures from the 1940s to 2025 📅 Year-wise timeline 🌍 Data for cities and countries ❓Temperature anomaly (wait… what is this?) At first, I honestly thought Temperature Anomaly was just a fancy way of saying temperature change. Turns out I need to work a bit harder on both my SAT English and this project. 😅 Because when I looked into the csv in detail the Temperature anomaly was like in range of -0.000342 to 4.66247 and this was for like every single country each varing differently. After a bit of Googling and reading, I discovered that ** temperature anomaly is not the actual temperature**. Instead, it measures how much warmer or cooler a place is compared to its average temperature during a reference period. That meant I had a huge problem. My country data was already stored as temperature anomalies, but my city data contained actual temperatures. I was unknowingly comparing two completely different measurements in the same project. If I had continued like that, my comparisons would have been misleading, my rankings would have been unfair, and my prediction model would have been built on inconsistent data. So… I stopped everything. I went back, learned how temperature anomalies are calculated, converted all of my city datasets to use the same measurement, and rebuilt the affected parts of the project. It definitely wasn’t the plan, but I’m glad I caught the mistake before shipping the project. End of story……. Besides this I improved my horrible looking homepage (the simple screenshot) and now it definitely looks like something to look at (the attractive homepage) this also had me going through streamlit’s documentation and continuous learning…… which I am getting fed up of but again that is what coding means right?😅 Lastly I did also complete my 4 out of 5 graphs which is definitely a relief (pheww) and now all that’s left todo is Graph 5 Improved UI of all the graph pages About page Girls and Guys I would love to have your feedback for my project (PLZ PLZ PLZ suggest improvements 😭😭😭😭) Byeeee!!!!! See you in Devlog # 4 ✨ END of devlog # 3
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT????????? So, I was finally working on my last graph, the one that predicts future temperature anomalies for a city or country. I built the model, generated the predictions… and this is what I got. (the graph with almost a straight line) Honestly, I was disappointed. I expected something that looked more like a “prediction,” not just a line. So, I tried connecting the future with the historical data, changed a few things, and even wondered if I had done Polynomial Regression completely wrong. Turns out… the model wasn’t the problem. Regression doesn’t make random ups and downs, it simply learns the overall trend from the historical data and continues it into the future. In the end, I stopped trying to make the graph look dramatic and focused on making it accurate instead. What do you all think of this graph?? This is the end of devlog #4 See you all in devlog #5 Byeeeee
UI UI UI ALL I DID WAS UI !!!!!! This update has been all about polishing the project. I’ve finally completed the UI for every single page , you all can see the before and the after in the screenshots of the UI. Besides this I had successfully deployed the application! despite the errors I faced while making it run smooth 😅 Looking back, it’s hard to believe this started as my first Streamlit project. I spent way more time tweaking layouts, colors, containers, and spacing than I ever expected, but it was worth it FINALLY!!!! Now the dashboard finally feels complete, and all that’s left is the final polish: cleaning up the code, adding comments, and finishing the README before I officially ship it. 🌍 The app is now live! If you’d like to explore 80+ years of climate data through interactive visualizations, give it a try: THE LINK TO THE PROJECT : https://the-earth-kept-a-record-here-it-is-vavg5teg69z5fpeqsqcren.streamlit.app/ Everyone do let me know about any improvements that you may seem that I can make before the shipping of this project This is the end of devlog # 5 See you all in devlog # 6 Byeeeeeee!
I DID THE FINAL STEPS Well almost all of it was done the remaining things were README.md file (half well) Comment of the entire files (I don’t like to do commenting 😭😭😭😭😭😭) WELLL WELLL Funny enough, commenting turned out to be the easier part. The real challenge was writing the README because I wanted it to actually explain the project properly instead of being just a few lines. End of devlog # 6 NOW GONNA SHIP THE PROJECT Everything is now ready… all that’s left is to hit Ship Project 🚀
HAD TO REDO THE README.md Well… I thought I was finally done. SOO now Welcome to the unexpected devlog # 7 Turns out my previous README had a bit too much AI in it, so I decided to rewrite almost the entire thing myself. It definitely took way longer than I expected, but now it actually feels like my project. At this point everything is finally done: ✅ UI ✅ Graphs ✅ Deployment ✅ Comments ✅ README Now hoping to not write another devlog now Byeeee!!!!
Change of all the plans 😭😭😭 So the thing is that my progess is falling apart and i want my 30 plus approved hours to be done inorder to get the certificate (I WANT IT PLS) and for this i want my dashboard to be in Flask HTML CSS and to be deployed in vercel But firstly gotta change the file directory!!!! So alot to do in pretty less time !!!! UGGGHHHH End of devlog # 8 See you in the next one !!! BYEEEE!!!!!!!
Ships:
I made an Interactive climate change dashboard using Streamlit and Plotly which visualized over 80 years of temperature data. Included 5 interactive graphs and one being a future temperature prediction model. The most chalenging thing for me was to learn streamlit as i have never made any application using that for the UI and another thing would be building a prediction model and making it work with the visualizations. I am proud to turn the raw climate data into something easy to explore. I am proud on completing my first full streamlit project and giving it a clean, interactive interface and also successfully deploying the project online. If people want to test my project they should: -Try both City and Country modes. -Test all 5 graph pages. -Use the Random buttons on comparison and heatmap pages. -Experiment with different years in the Future Prediction page. -The prediction graph is for educational purposes and is based on historical trends, not a scientific forecast....

NurazkhanOS - is my personal webOS built for hackClub WebOS1 mission. Let’s start from the beginning. I was not sure what to do exactly, so just followed the guide. But the guide seemed outdated, and I opened gallery for other works., and was truly fascinated. I wanted to similar app, with smooth animations, with amazing design and many functions. Also the fact that they made it under 15 hours was thing that shocked me even more. There are levels to these. So I switched to react, and tried to build my unique and amazing webOS. at First I had so much ideas, to build 10+ apps, to make amazing design. But, it was always not perfect, not even close to the ones I saw in gallery. The comparision is killer of joy, but it was too late. No matter how long or how hard I tried I couldnt made such amazing webOS. Nevertheless, I am proud that I didn’t give up, even if I had thoughts to leave everything. There was a lot of things I learned, and even more things that I still dont know. But I know that everything comes with experience, no need to get so frustrated about others doing better. enough of me, now lets talk about actual web app. First of all, I made layout. Simple just OS name, app icons and topbar showing time and some words. then I started from music player. This part was hard for me. I never built music player before. Though I will be not lying If I say it was most interesting part. It wasn’t too easy nor too complex.

Final app. just page about me. It has my image, words I wanted to tell and my contact links. Basically, why not? feel free to contact me. though I know the design is hideous🫣 Nevertheless, its done.

This was a long journey for me. NurazkhanOS - is my personal webOS built for hackClub WebOS1 mission. Let’s start from the beginning. I was not sure what to do exactly, so just followed the guide. But the guide seemed outdated, and I opened gallery for other works., and was truly fascinated. I wanted to similar app, with smooth animations, with amazing design and many functions. Also the fact that they made it under 15 hours was thing that shocked me even more. There are levels to these. So I switched to react, and tried to build my unique and amazing webOS. at First I had so much ideas, to build 10+ apps, to make amazing design. But, it was always not perfect, not even close to the ones I saw in gallery. The comparision is killer of joy, but it was too late. No matter how long or how hard I tried I couldnt made such amazing webOS. Nevertheless, I am proud that I didn’t give up, even if I had thoughts to leave everything. There was a lot of things I learned, and even more things that I still dont know. But I know that everything comes with experience, no need to get so frustrated about others doing better. enough of me, now lets talk about actual web app. First of all, I made layout. Simple just OS name, app icons and topbar showing time and some words. then I started from music player. This part was hard for me. I never built music player before. Though I will be not lying If I say it was most interesting part. It wasn’t too easy nor too complex. Just fine for developing me and listening my perfect playlist 100 times. then I moved to Calculator. it was just filler app, too increase number of apps. But to be honest I though it to be easier. Maybe I overcomplicated it for myself. You can write there basic expressions consisting from multiple operators and it will calculate.

However, now the layout automatically re-sequences serial numbers perfectly when tasks are added or deleted, handles missing dates gracefully, and looks really sharp with its dark green styling, so I hope you all give it a try at least once and maybe suggest some improvements!
Changed UI completely, added a create button, input element to enter name and save button for confirmation. Key features: Input box and save disappear and only appear when create is clicked and disappear after saving (does not recognize null value) For now it saves it in an array which I have stored in local storage, in the future will add a remove button to remove the contents of the array and ill add the array names to the list sequentially.
I upgraded my functional To-Do List web application to feature a dynamic, multi-list architecture that allows users to create custom categories and manage isolated task sets simultaneously.

Hello, a very basic devlog: I added a ‘Do you want to delete’ Confirmation message alongside changed the entire preview and UI of the website so it looks neat and awesome
Added a green tick button which you can click after finishing a task and the text turns cut off after clicking on the green button it took some time but it looks neat and worth it

done with adding skills, next is adding projects
completed Project section, ui is done, i need to debug it first
it’s almost done, with some problems, i will fix it
finally, after so much debugging, this and that, integrating github actions, verifying google metadata, it’s done, it’s live on ashu-cipher.github.io check it out and give me some improvement suggestion, only thing left to update is its README file, will do it soon and ship
work on same error for last half hours still not solved, can anybody help. i have used web3forms for email submission, but whenever i send email, it’s sent but it still shows submission error, idk why, i tried multiple time, still stuck on that.
FINALLY, error is resolved, thanks to claude haiku
updated README, about to ship
Ships:
I made a portfolio site for myself, actually i had a portfolio site i made in 2025 but i thought of refining it, so i refined it using next.js, for me challenging part was git, i rebased and accidentally i had 999+ commits like wth, i restored to previous commit and it was fixed. I learnt more about React by this project. Ik this is a portfolio site, you have no usability for this, still it is what it is, i hope you like it. Thanks♡...

Took me a while, mainly because I was also testing image processing libraries, but I have implemented a basic argument system. Currently there is only height and width, as well as verifying filepath for the source image, which is always first. They can have 2 flags, normal and alternate, and can have an integer attached or not, and can be put in any order after the filepath. Next thing to do is take the input image, resize and loop through all pixels, calculating brightness.
Images now can be crudely converted to text. The program first scales down the image to the desired size, then calculates the luminance of each pixel and looks up the corresponding symbol for that level of brightness, with @ being the darkest and being the lightest, although this palette can easily be changed in code. The top image is a black to white gradient and the bottom is a test of the alpha channel. My next goals are to change the argument class to have different child classes based on value type and allow associated functions. I want to also implement basic terminal colouring, allow contrast control, allow edge detection and custom palettes.
Refactored the argument system so that different value types are derived classes from the base Argument class. While I was doing this, I also included some better error handling for incorrect / missing argument values, seen here:
Implemented contrast and saturation arguments, and changed brightness to use HSV. Also code cleanup and fixing some pixels being above 255, causing them to overflow. Image below shows brightness and contrast, but as it is a black and white gradient, I didn’t show saturation (there would be no change).
Added a help function. When created, each argument now specifies a description, and the help function prints out all flags and descriptions
Added the option to output to a file instead of just to the console, by using the -f or --file argument
Added an edge detection filter by using the Sobel filter. In future I may use this for using characters to make defined edges, but for now edges are just highlighted. Here is an example: Top is without filter, bottom is with filter. The filter does start to fall apart at low resolutions due to simply not enough detail
Added custom palette support, so now you can specify a string of characters from dark to light and it will be used to create the output ASCII image. Also created a README file, which can be seen on the project info
Added a features list to the README, and added an asciinema demo to the project page. Also created release on Github so that precompiled binaries can be downloaded easily. The asciinema demo is accessible through the release page on github, or by going to https://asciinema.org/a/1259289

I’d then like to move that to a webpage, using a Three.js implementation for it to look nicely, and possibly get a nice 3D rendering. I hope this helps someone learn something eventually
Good progress (0.1.0) I moved the project from running locally and moved it to a webpage. Instead of using semi-kepler formulas, I changed it to the Velocity Verlet formula (a (kick-drift-kick leapfrog integrator) integration due to value instability. Switched to Javascript over from python for the webpage. Currently rendering in threejs for a future 3D implementation Hope to add multiple crafts soon for rendezvous tutorials Check it out, the demo is live :D
I organized everything in the main code file into neat functions (0.1.1) (it was some sort of linear madness before), but now its better I noticed the craft was being somewhat obscured behind the planet (it is already 3D), so I switched to an ortographic camera and adjusted some other things My next step will be enabling craft control, so that orbits can look nicely
Attitude / Thruster System Implementation (0.1.2) Added a propulsion system to our boy sputnik. Values visibly change in the telemetry box Controllable with WASD Next steps would be to make a trajectory prediction / Orbit preview system (KSP Like), crash detection, and visible thruster feedback As always, demo updated, check it out
UI Revamp, Pannin’ and Zoomin’ (0.1.2/b) Added the ability to pan and zoom the viewport, added an inoperable view settings box (hopefully for the next update), and made the UI look a little bit cooler Next steps are making a trajectory orbit display, instead of the trail shown (history trail) As always, demo webpage updated, check it out :D
Earth updates, coordinate change for 3D, better trails (0.1.2/c) Added nicer visuals to earth (kudos to @0xSabrina for advice, will add landmasses or clouds in the future), made trail look better with fading, and changed the coordinate axes (initially x-y because 2D, but then I wanted to change it to a top down view, and for a drop-in 3D implementation, now x-z (top down view for an equatorial orbit) The earth now spins as well Hopefully, next update works on the trajectory prediction, and then add the 3D camera Long term, I’d like to add small lessons on orbital mechanics As always, web demo updated, check it out :D
Trajectory path and conic patch labels (0.1.3) You can now toggle between craft path trail and the future trajectory path, for a KSP-like view. The conic patches also have color labels now This took more time than I expected, debugging is nuts Next objective will be to make a 2D/3D switch where you can move your camera around As always, web demo updated, check it out :D
Big UI Revamp + Orbital Schematics (0.1.4) The UI has been revamped for aesthetics, and fonts, boxes, and corners have been changed. An orbital schematic box has been added to show an orbit’s preview, a simple thrust trail is shown, and earth is now made of colorful triangles I haven’t worked on this for a while now, so there’s a big update The next step is probably to add new celestial bodies like the moon for lunar injections, and new UI boxes As always, web demo updated, check it out :D
Ships:
I succesfully made an Orbital Simulator based off leapfrog algorithms and put it on a website. The orbits are simulated (not static), and will change if you apply a change to its velocity This is my first step in making a website to teach orbital mechanics, my future goal being to simulate 2 craft succesfully rendezvousing on different orbits, and to make it a fun way to learn other different mechanics Hope yall like it...

Devlog 3 -changed the backplate on shooter - fixed clipping - created a very rudimentary feeding path, needs a LOT more work i wasted a lot of time on the feeding path, changing belt positions ironing out belt lengths and pitch, I originally was using 5 mm but I couldn’t get the right lengths so I switched to 3mm. I also didn’t now how I was going to mount it so I spent a while figuring that out. I’m using a belt on the top and bottom of the balls to funnel them into an array of compliant wheels that sends it up into the shooter

Devlog 5 completed added energy chain for turret created basic intake started mount for intake Issues I’m kind of scatter brained and did not complete last logs to due list before starting the intake I’m extending about .05 further from my robot perimeter than is allowed, its finneeeee I think the intake wont actually be able to come back into the robot because the kicker bar descends too low while being stowed it weighs WAY too much the intake is very simple a rack and pinion sends it out then the kicker bars drop down because there will be a piece of surgical tubing tensioning them, pulling it down. then whenever the driver presses the assigned button two neo vortex’s will spin a set of rollers that will grab the balls press them against the kicker bars and shoot them into the hopper. it is just shy of a 5 ball wide intake which should allow for pretty high throughput. the energy chain assembly for the turret is also very simple. there is a freely spinning constant force spring attached to a bracket which pulls the bracket away from the shooter, the energy chain just loops through the bracket. total current weight with bumpers: 129 lbs
devlog 6 completed redid turret mounting plate reworked feeding path make base of roller floor indexer miscelaneous changes It really doesn’t look like much but, I’ve done a lot, I’ve been focusing on making something very simple that would work, I’m creating most of the parts that will be used and just not pocketing them or fully doing the assemblies or even adding mounting holes tbh, but I am making sure nothing clips and that all of the subsystems fit together and work in tandem.
Devlog 7 completed made a cover for the PIcam I would use for PhotonVision, changed a few things on shooter to reduce height many odd jobs that I honestly cant remember Issues I keep getting this “Operation failed because it would create cyclical references : Part Studio 2 Copy 1 <- Part Studio 1.” error while trying to derive my reference sketch from another document and I honestly don’t know how to fix it I’ve had to go for multiple weeks without working on this project because I didn’t have access to a computer and now I’m struggling to get any real progress done, I’m almost done though I mainly just have to do a bunch more annoying jobs like pocketing all of the sheets, adding the electronics and designing a hopper, which shouldn’t be too bad, its just a few sheets of polycarbonate
Devlog 8 completed I added mounts for all floating parts added a wall to funnel balls into the main feeding path added all timing belts to roller floor created baseplate and added main electronics added fasteners fixed miscelaneous issues issues my load times are taking longer and longer honestly the sticky streak has really motivated me, for the past 8 days i’ve managed to squeeze in at least 15 minutes each night.
Devlog 9 Completed re-added power chain to design added hopper element to cover power chain added camera mounts that work on the robot added belt between feeding path and conveyor belt because apparently it previousley had no way to spin went through half of the part studios and asemblys to organize them them added material and appearence to all parts without them. added radio and RSL (robot safety light) issues its very boring sifting through everything you’ve done, naming and grouping it all the cover for the power chain clips through the power chain’s pulley I’ve worked on it most of today and honestly Its come very far, I think I’m finally almost done.
Devlog 10 I have done a lot since the last devlog and this is my final log before shipping, I’m very exited. completed pocketed everything assigned materials to a few things I missed finished organizing every part studio used in the final assembly prepared my repository and wrote a readme a bunch of other random stuff created an assembly to display balls in the path they would take from the intake to the shooter Sadly the robot is still way overweight, its like 200 pounds but I’m just going to leave it for now. its just a pet project. Stardance has been AWESOME and I’m really glad I was able to participate, thank you everyone!! Until next time Hack Clubbers!
Ships:
This is the cad for an FRC bot I designed for this years game Rebuilt one in which you shoot as many balls as you can into a big basket. I’m really proud of the whole thing honestly, its the first large and cohesive thing I’ve ever designed and I think it turned out pretty well. I’m especially proud of the shooter, scoring manipulators are always fun to make! I will say the process did not go without its hiccups, to be honest I only discovered the derrived tool like halfway through, that was rough but I finished it none the less and if you want to try it out just click the button below....

Three months since my last devlog, so grab a snack and let me catch you up. DOSEFIELD estimates how much radiation an astronaut gets behind shielding on a trip to Mars, then checks itself against real data from NASA’s Curiosity cruise (MSL/RAD). The big news: I found a mistake in my own results. In my first public version, the solar modulation value (W = 30) could not be reproduced from the derivation I had written down. So I went back to the Oulu neutron-monitor data, matched the exact time window RAD used, skipped the solar-storm days, and got W = 47.50. The new numbers look worse, and I kept them: absorbed dose: 0.264 vs 0.458 mGy/day measured (0.58x) dose equivalent: 1.318 vs 1.75 mSv/day (0.75x) mean quality factor: 4.995 vs 3.82 (1.31x) My model skips secondary particles and neutrons, so it under-predicts the dose. I report the gap and leave it alone. Also shipped: a check against the full NIST PSTAR table (max deviation 1.55% from 10 to 1000 MeV), 190 passing tests, a code archive on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23433384), a revised paper on SSRN, and a website that links to all of it."}, {"post_id": 30550, "ts": "2026-07-18T06:51:49Z", "hours": 2.6992, "text": "DEVLOG #6 Hey everyone!This is probably the last devlog for DOSEFIELD, at least for a while. It’s been an incredible journey—from the first rough prototype to something I’m genuinely proud to share. Thank you to everyone who followed along, tested the project, gave feedback, or simply read these updates. It really meant a lot.v2.3 is the “show your work” release. Nothing changed in the physics—and that’s exactly the point.The biggest addition is a new Methods page that renders the repository’s own METHODS.md and limitations table directly. That means anyone reading the website sees the exact same equations, assumptions, and all 12 limitations that exist in the source code. If the website and the repository ever disagree, the repository is the source of truth.Every page now also includes a provenance footer that’s generated automatically during the build. Instead of typing in a version number by hand, the site runs git rev-parse and the full test suite, then stamps something like:commit e22ef18 · 111/111 tests · verified 2026-07-18The build will actually fail if the tests don’t pass, so it’s impossible to accidentally display a “green” verification badge on a broken build.I also improved chart exports. Figures now render at 3200 px, and each exported chart includes its full configuration in the caption. That makes it much easier to trace a plot back to the exact settings that produced it, whether it’s used in a poster, report, or presentation.One thing I want to be completely clear about: this verification is about the software, not the physics. Passing 111 tests means the implementation behaves as expected according to those tests—it doesn’t prove the scientific model is perfect. The current validation remains the same: about 2× agreement with MSL/RAD, and the 0.67× absorbed-dose gap is still there, clearly documented.That’s exactly what this release is about: transparency over hype, reproducibility over screenshots, and being honest about what the model can—and can’t—do.Thanks for following this project. ❤️"}, {"post_id": 24869, "ts": "2026-07-08T18:38:22Z", "hours": 2.4278, "text": "DEVLOG #5 (might be the last devlog) Hey! It’s been 11 days since the last devlog. DOSEFIELD wasn’t abandoned—I was just busy building instead of writing.This update was really about two things: making the code cleaner and making the site feel like it belongs in a space mission.The first issue was hidden in the background. The NASA validation numbers on the website were calculated separately from the ones used in my research. The math was identical, but it existed in multiple places. That meant one future change could easily make the numbers disagree.So I refactored everything to use a single source of truth. Now every result comes from the same function, making the site much easier to maintain and much harder to break.Then I focused on the design. The old version worked, but it didn’t feel like DOSEFIELD. I redesigned the interface with a mission-control style, added a cleaner layout, and simplified the visuals. I also removed a lot of unnecessary effects—less glow, fewer gradients, and a more purposeful look.After all those changes, I reran every test. All 107 tests still pass, and the stopping-power calculations remain within 1.55% of NIST reference data, exactly as before.There’s still one limitation: my model predicts about 67% of the radiation dose measured by NASA during the trip to Mars. That’s because it doesn’t yet simulate secondary particle production inside spacecraft shielding. It’s an important limitation, and it’s clearly explained on the website rather than hidden.The biggest lesson from this update wasn’t about physics—it was about revisiting old work. Good code doesn’t duplicate logic, and good design doesn’t rely on effects to look impressive.

I didn’t hide it. My model tracks how particles slow down inside matter. For heavy elements like lead and titanium, you need a correction for the atom’s electron shells — skip it, and your numbers drift by half the actual value. I haven’t built that correction yet. Faking the results to look clean would gut the whole point of the model. So heavy elements are out for now. Liquid hydrogen sits at the opposite extreme. One electron, no shell complexity — the model handles it without shortcuts. I checked against NIST’s official proton data: 0.14% deviation across the full energy range. In physics terms, that’s a bullseye. Five Materials, One Hierarchy I ran five materials together — liquid hydrogen, methane, polyethylene, water, and aluminum — and tested them as a chain. Two things had to hold: thicker shielding means lower dose, and going from hydrogen to aluminum, dose has to climb, because light elements stop protons better. Both held, with no exceptions. Polyethylene and water differ by just 3% in electrons per gram — the model caught even that gap correctly. The sharpest result: at 40 g/cm², liquid hydrogen cuts dose by 44% compared to aluminum. That’s why some spacecraft designs wrap the crew compartment in hydrogen tanks — fuel and radiation shield in one. All five materials are now locked into regression tests. Total: 103 green tests in CI. One Function, One Truth The dashboard and the generated reports used to calculate their numbers separately. Two parallel code paths mean two places for drift to appear.

Every push to the main branch triggers a fresh build and deployment. The setup is intentionally simple: deployment uses GitHub’s built-in Actions token, with no external services and no additional secrets.The only challenge in this release wasn’t physics — it was infrastructure. The first deployment failed because GitHub Actions cannot automatically enable GitHub Pages for a repository. The workflow reached that permission boundary and stopped. After enabling Pages in the repository settings and rerunning the workflow, everything deployed successfully.Once the site was live, I verified that all critical assets were being served correctly. The page, stylesheets, and, most importantly, the Web Worker bundle all return HTTP 200 responses with the correct content types.That Web Worker is particularly important because it handles the species-by-species dose integration calculations off the main UI thread. In practice, this means the interface remains responsive while the physics calculations run in the background.No physics models changed in this release, and the known limitations remain the same.

Concretely, at solar minimum behind 20 g/cm², polyethylene’s edge over aluminium jumps from 12% to 34% the moment fragmentation turns on — the same figure the validation script prints, read from the same function, not hardcoded. Mean ⟨Q⟩ behind 16 g/cm² of aluminium falls 4.47 → 4.14. Nothing was tuned; the toggle just calls the existing Bradt–Peters model.

If they don’t, the model is wrong and I’ll say so. Numbers in the next entry. Either it works or it doesn’t — that’s the whole point of logging the test first. What it still isn’t: 1D, simplified fragmentation, not a replacement for NASA’s HZETRN. Every value traces to a cited source, and the validation suite re-runs on every change.
DOSEFIELD DAY #2:Fragmentation is now in the live app. Until today the web dosimeter only ran the primary-only transport — the most interesting result, that breaking up heavy ions is why hydrogen-rich shielding wins, was buried in a console script. Now there’s a “Primaries only ⇄ + Fragmentation” toggle, and flipping it visibly bends the curves: polyethylene pulls away from aluminium and the mean quality factor drops. Concretely, at solar minimum behind 20 g/cm², polyethylene’s edge over aluminium jumps from 12% to 34% the moment fragmentation turns on — the same figure the validation script prints, read from the same function, not hardcoded. Mean ⟨Q⟩ behind 16 g/cm² of aluminium falls 4.47 → 4.14. Nothing was tuned; the toggle just calls the existing Bradt–Peters model. And the honest ceiling stays put: still no secondary neutrons, so the absorbed-dose gap vs the real MSL/RAD measurement (~0.31 vs 0.46 mGy/day) remains — and the UI footnote says so out loud. 76/76 tests green, build clean. Next: surface the NIST + RAD validation inside the app itself.
Devlog #3 — DOSEFIELD Is Live 🚀Hi! Long time no see.DOSEFIELD is now live: https://izbanovj3-prog.github.io/DOSEFIELD/ The entire dosimeter now runs directly in your browser — no installation required. That includes the controls, dose-vs-thickness chart, particle fragmentation toggle, and validation panel.Under the hood, the project is built with Vite and automatically deployed to GitHub Pages through a GitHub Actions workflow. Every push to the main branch triggers a fresh build and deployment. The setup is intentionally simple: deployment uses GitHub’s built-in Actions token, with no external services and no additional secrets.The only challenge in this release wasn’t physics — it was infrastructure. The first deployment failed because GitHub Actions cannot automatically enable GitHub Pages for a repository. The workflow reached that permission boundary and stopped. After enabling Pages in the repository settings and rerunning the workflow, everything deployed successfully.Once the site was live, I verified that all critical assets were being served correctly. The page, stylesheets, and, most importantly, the Web Worker bundle all return HTTP 200 responses with the correct content types.That Web Worker is particularly important because it handles the species-by-species dose integration calculations off the main UI thread. In practice, this means the interface remains responsive while the physics calculations run in the background.No physics models changed in this release, and the known limitations remain the same. This phase was focused entirely on one goal: shipping a fully accessible browser version of DOSEFIELD.The live demo link is now featured at the top of the README.
Devlog #4 — Heavy Elements Cut, Liquid Hydrogen Locked In Lead and titanium were off by 50%. I didn’t hide it. My model tracks how particles slow down inside matter. For heavy elements like lead and titanium, you need a correction for the atom’s electron shells — skip it, and your numbers drift by half the actual value. I haven’t built that correction yet. Faking the results to look clean would gut the whole point of the model. So heavy elements are out for now. Liquid hydrogen sits at the opposite extreme. One electron, no shell complexity — the model handles it without shortcuts. I checked against NIST’s official proton data: 0.14% deviation across the full energy range. In physics terms, that’s a bullseye. Five Materials, One Hierarchy I ran five materials together — liquid hydrogen, methane, polyethylene, water, and aluminum — and tested them as a chain. Two things had to hold: thicker shielding means lower dose, and going from hydrogen to aluminum, dose has to climb, because light elements stop protons better. Both held, with no exceptions. Polyethylene and water differ by just 3% in electrons per gram — the model caught even that gap correctly. The sharpest result: at 40 g/cm², liquid hydrogen cuts dose by 44% compared to aluminum. That’s why some spacecraft designs wrap the crew compartment in hydrogen tanks — fuel and radiation shield in one. All five materials are now locked into regression tests. Total: 103 green tests in CI. One Function, One Truth The dashboard and the generated reports used to calculate their numbers separately. Two parallel code paths mean two places for drift to appear. Now both pull from a single shared function. The number on screen and the number in the report are physically incapable of disagreeing.
DEVLOG #5 (might be the last devlog) Hey! It’s been 11 days since the last devlog. DOSEFIELD wasn’t abandoned—I was just busy building instead of writing.This update was really about two things: making the code cleaner and making the site feel like it belongs in a space mission.The first issue was hidden in the background. The NASA validation numbers on the website were calculated separately from the ones used in my research. The math was identical, but it existed in multiple places. That meant one future change could easily make the numbers disagree.So I refactored everything to use a single source of truth. Now every result comes from the same function, making the site much easier to maintain and much harder to break.Then I focused on the design. The old version worked, but it didn’t feel like DOSEFIELD. I redesigned the interface with a mission-control style, added a cleaner layout, and simplified the visuals. I also removed a lot of unnecessary effects—less glow, fewer gradients, and a more purposeful look.After all those changes, I reran every test. All 107 tests still pass, and the stopping-power calculations remain within 1.55% of NIST reference data, exactly as before.There’s still one limitation: my model predicts about 67% of the radiation dose measured by NASA during the trip to Mars. That’s because it doesn’t yet simulate secondary particle production inside spacecraft shielding. It’s an important limitation, and it’s clearly explained on the website rather than hidden.The biggest lesson from this update wasn’t about physics—it was about revisiting old work. Good code doesn’t duplicate logic, and good design doesn’t rely on effects to look impressive. Sometimes the best improvement is simply cleaning up what you already built.
DEVLOG #6 Hey everyone!This is probably the last devlog for DOSEFIELD, at least for a while. It’s been an incredible journey—from the first rough prototype to something I’m genuinely proud to share. Thank you to everyone who followed along, tested the project, gave feedback, or simply read these updates. It really meant a lot.v2.3 is the “show your work” release. Nothing changed in the physics—and that’s exactly the point.The biggest addition is a new Methods page that renders the repository’s own METHODS.md and limitations table directly. That means anyone reading the website sees the exact same equations, assumptions, and all 12 limitations that exist in the source code. If the website and the repository ever disagree, the repository is the source of truth.Every page now also includes a provenance footer that’s generated automatically during the build. Instead of typing in a version number by hand, the site runs git rev-parse and the full test suite, then stamps something like:commit e22ef18 · 111/111 tests · verified 2026-07-18The build will actually fail if the tests don’t pass, so it’s impossible to accidentally display a “green” verification badge on a broken build.I also improved chart exports. Figures now render at 3200 px, and each exported chart includes its full configuration in the caption. That makes it much easier to trace a plot back to the exact settings that produced it, whether it’s used in a poster, report, or presentation.One thing I want to be completely clear about: this verification is about the software, not the physics. Passing 111 tests means the implementation behaves as expected according to those tests—it doesn’t prove the scientific model is perfect. The current validation remains the same: about 2× agreement with MSL/RAD, and the 0.67× absorbed-dose gap is still there, clearly documented.That’s exactly what this release is about: transparency over hype, reproducibility over screenshots, and being honest about what the model can—and can’t—do.Thanks for following this project. ❤️
Hey Stardance crew! Three months since my last devlog, so grab a snack and let me catch you up. DOSEFIELD estimates how much radiation an astronaut gets behind shielding on a trip to Mars, then checks itself against real data from NASA’s Curiosity cruise (MSL/RAD). The big news: I found a mistake in my own results. In my first public version, the solar modulation value (W = 30) could not be reproduced from the derivation I had written down. So I went back to the Oulu neutron-monitor data, matched the exact time window RAD used, skipped the solar-storm days, and got W = 47.50. The new numbers look worse, and I kept them: absorbed dose: 0.264 vs 0.458 mGy/day measured (0.58x) dose equivalent: 1.318 vs 1.75 mSv/day (0.75x) mean quality factor: 4.995 vs 3.82 (1.31x) My model skips secondary particles and neutrons, so it under-predicts the dose. I report the gap and leave it alone. Also shipped: a check against the full NIST PSTAR table (max deviation 1.55% from 10 to 1000 MeV), 190 passing tests, a code archive on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23433384), a revised paper on SSRN, and a website that links to all of it.
Ships:
Today was all about making the site tell the truth about itself instead of just describing itself. I added a Methods and Limitations page that pulls directly from METHODS.md and the README instead of being rewritten into friendly marketing copy. If the documentation and the code ever disagree, the documentation loses immediately because they are now the exact same file. Every page also got an automated footer showing the commit hash, the test count, and the exact verification date. It would have taken five minutes to hardcode a string like “111 tests passing” and move on. Instead, the build script runs the actual test suite first, and if anything fails, the entire build stops cold. This ensures the footer can never claim a passing state that is not true at that exact moment. Wiring a build to gate on its own test results took most of the afternoon because it required thinking through what happens during a failure, not just when everything goes smoothly, but the absolute transparency is worth it. What I like most is that the limitations table on the public site is word-for-word what is in the repository. There is no filtered summary for visitors. The 0.67x gap between my modeled absorbed dose and NASA’s measured RAD numbers reads just as blunt on the public page as it does in the source code. Transparency matters more than hype. Additionally, charts now export at 3200px, and the configuration that produced them gets baked directly into the image itself, meaning a PNG cannot wander off from the settings that generated it. If you want to test it yourself, you can check the live app at DOSEFIELD. Look at the footer for a real commit hash and test count, open the Methods and Limitations page to count the 12 rows in the limitations table, or export a chart to verify the resolution against what is rendered on your screen. The complete source code is also available on GitHub....
