Play the game-modes: There are a few game-modes including: Normal, 5 rounds of playing. Multiplayer lobbies. Custom singleplayer mode. Create mode to create a specific custom game for others to play. Quest Mode! This is new game mode, where you can interact with 4 different places on the town map: the Marketplace, Academy, Racecourse and the Castle (not released yet). Most of these will reward you with “scrolls” which can be spent in the Marketplace to obtain unique and rare profile customisation options such as username colour effects and logos. It has been an interesting project, having to work on expanding a previous existing project rather than creating a new one. So please don’t beat me up when you read my code… I ran into MANY issues, and have suffered through the infamous vsCode crash “You must free up system storage” because I had too many Chrome tabs open! If you have any questions about how to actually play, or what some of the features do, I actually have a GitHub Wiki page (generated by an AI agent for me), so you can check that out too here: https://github.com/toosynxed/angularbibleguesser/wiki Along with the live version of the game at: https://better-bibleguesser.web.app Thanks for taking the time to read this! -Ta!", "repo": "https://github.com/toosynxed/angularbibleguesser", "demo": "https://angularbetterbibleguesser.web.app/"}]...

About Tractor Tractor (AKA Upgrade/Shengji/升级) is a popular Chinese trick-taking card game where players score by capturing specific cards rather than winning tricks.

The level is only like 3-5 minutes long (there’s some ways to speedrun it that i’ve hidden) and inspired from the mach-speed segments in Sonic 06. Making the game wasn’t as hard as i thought, however there were a few issues when i exported it to itch. The game can run perfectly fine locally on a weak computer, but I don’t think the browser can play 3d games right, so the framerate dips significantly. To fix this i had to remove alot of the collisions for the buildings on the side of the roads (since they aren’t crucial for the game running) and i had to make the game cull objects that are far away. Also this is kinda meant to be a bare-bones test of how it feels, so the assets are made to be low-poly (for higher fps). Eventually these will change to be made with alot of effort in blender (the cover art shows a small mockup of what it looks like), but for now i need as much fps as i can get to get it running on a browser. I really like how the cat looks and the animations for it, since i was able to get the textures working and figure out how to export animations in a day. Sadly my higher-res version of it with cell-shading couldn’t export right, so it had to be toned down for this version until i can fix it.", "repo": "https://github.com/Randompigion/CroissantGame1", "demo": "https://randompigion.itch.io/croissant-game-v06"}]...

Hey everyone, time for a second devlog to the croissant game! I got alot of progress done for the game, well not the game as a whole, but for the running mini-game in it.

When i shipped my project didn’t do so well, so before adding more content, I’m gonna address the issues from the first version. Alot of the reviews talked about the game looking bad, which honestly is true. I tried making all the assets for the entire game, but honestly they took too long so they look half done.

Today i got the new assets in game, and started to remake the level to see how it would look. I’ve attached a photo of it
#Devlog somethinglike4idkicantremember So for this version, it was moreover trying to listen to feedback for the last reviews and refining how the game plays. Making it look better One of the bigger concerns i saw was the terrible assets in game. To fix this, i just kinda threw in some free kennley assets and now the buildings look better, and they have collision now There’s still alot of work to do. I’m gonna add skyboxes and better lighting, but not right now. Refining Controls Now, you run faster to make it harder >:) Also, people were asking for “more snappy movement” so i’ve doubled the horiziontal speed! People also said the jump was too floaty, so i added a way to cancel it by holding crouch. OPEN WORLD!!! I’ve started to add in a open world for you to select levels. Its still a major WIP, but the controls are done! Getting the camera to work was a bit of a pain, but now you can focus and unfocus the game!
Ships:
This is a test for an endless runner game-mode for a larger game that i am working on, which runs on itch.io. The level is only like 3-5 minutes long (there’s some ways to speedrun it that i’ve hidden) and inspired from the mach-speed segments in Sonic 06. Making the game wasn’t as hard as i thought, however there were a few issues when i exported it to itch. The game can run perfectly fine locally on a weak computer, but I don’t think the browser can play 3d games right, so the framerate dips significantly. To fix this i had to remove alot of the collisions for the buildings on the side of the roads (since they aren’t crucial for the game running) and i had to make the game cull objects that are far away. Also this is kinda meant to be a bare-bones test of how it feels, so the assets are made to be low-poly (for higher fps). Eventually these will change to be made with alot of effort in blender (the cover art shows a small mockup of what it looks like), but for now i need as much fps as i can get to get it running on a browser. I really like how the cat looks and the animations for it, since i was able to get the textures working and figure out how to export animations in a day. Sadly my higher-res version of it with cell-shading couldn’t export right, so it had to be toned down for this version until i can fix it....

Finally got basic lambda style return functions working. Right now these both compile all the way through the tokenizer, IR, NASM generation, and actually run correctly: func test() -> int {2 + 2}; func anothertest() -> int {2 - 2}; test currently spits out: mov eax, 2 mov ebx, 2 add eax, ebx ret So the entire pipeline is finally working end to end. Syntax change I ended up changing the function syntax halfway through development. Originally it looked like this: func test() -> { 2 + 2 } The problem is -> was basically trying to do two different jobs at once. It was acting like “here comes the function body” instead of what it should actually mean: “here comes the return type.” That would’ve forced the parser to guess whether the next token was a type or the start of a block, which is just unnecessary pain when the fix is simple. Now it’s: func name() -> type { body } Way cleaner, no ambiguity, and honestly it reads a lot better too. Under the hood Parentheses are now their own tokens (_OPEN_PAREN / _CLOSE_PAREN) instead of getting lumped together with braces. Expressions are currently evaluated by folding left-to-right through (operator, operand) pairs. +, -, *, and / all work with integer literals. One limitation right now is there’s no operator precedence yet. So: 2 + 3 * 4 currently evaluates as: ((2 + 3) * 4) = 20 instead of: 2 + (3 * 4) = 14 Not really a bug, just something I haven’t implemented yet. The real fix is building an expression tree instead of another parser hack. Right now everything also assumes the operands are integer literals. Variables aren’t hooked into expression evaluation yet, so identifiers basically don’t work inside expressions. Function bodies are also limited to a single expression for now no multiple statements or nested expressions yet. Next up Proper operator precedence (expression trees) Variables inside expressions Multi-statement function bodies Saving/restoring non-volatile registers once functions start calling other functions. Right now I’m using ebx as a scratch register, which is perfectly fine for leaf functions but won’t fly forever once function calls exist."}, {"post_id": 19761, "ts": "2026-07-01T04:34:42Z", "hours": 1.0067, "text": "Obsidian Lang v1 Dev Log (this is a progress update, not a release announcement) What is Obsidian Lang? Obsidian Lang is a programming language I’m building from scratch. The primary goal isn’t the language itself, it’s mastering parsing, interpretation, and assembly generation. So far the project has forced me to get much more comfortable with C++ and x86-64 assembly, which has been the real payoff. The problem Most languages marketed as “beginner friendly” fall into one of two traps. Some oversimplify to the point of being a dead end (Scratch). Others let you write things that work today but teach habits that fall apart later (Python). Obsidian Lang is my attempt at something different: a language designed so that it effectively cannot crash. Whatever the input, even malformed input, the program keeps running. How that’s implemented The interpreter is built to absorb mistakes rather than halt on them. Errors get logged, execution continues, and the user still gets a running program out the other end. Architecture The pipeline is two passes: Tokenize. Raw source text is scanned character by character into a flat token stream ( Tokens.h / Tokenize.cpp ). Keywords ( return , print , let , const , func , int ), operators ( + - * / = -> ), literals, and identifiers are all recognized here. Interpret. The token stream is walked once to build an intermediate representation, a flat list of Line structs, each tagged with a category ( Create , Header , Info , Program , Section , Function ), a label, and the emitted text. That IR is then walked a second time in a fixed order defined in docs/archecture.md to produce the final NASM x64 output: global directive, extern headers, .text section, function bodies, the obsidian_program entry point, program body, .bss , .data , and .rdata , in that order. Currently supported: print \"string\" compiles down to a direct Win32 WriteConsoleA call, with the string byte count computed at compile time (including the CRLF). return <int> maps to ExitProcess . Since there’s no branching yet, whichever return is lexically last in the source is the one that determines the actual exit code, the exit sequence itself is always emitted once, at the very end, so later print calls can’t clobber ecx before the process actually exits. const <type> <name> = <value> allocates a .rdata entry. func <name> -> <int> emits a minimal function body with a mov / ret sequence. Operators ( + - * / ), let bindings, and full function bodies are tokenized already but not yet wired into codegen, that’s the next chunk of work. Why this approach Keeping the IR as one flat, tagged struct instead of a proper AST was a deliberate simplification for v1. It made the two-pass emit order easy to reason about and easy to debug (the interpreter dumps every function name and variable name it collected at the end of a run). It won’t scale forever, but for getting a first working pipeline from source text to a runnable Windows executable, it did the job."}, {"post_id": 19598, "ts": "2026-06-30T23:06:00Z", "hours": 1.7792, "text": "Obsidian Lang – Added functions defined with func <name>(params) I also added a return opperater that kinda mimics a lambda function the token is called _RET_OP same function called but instead you do func<name>(params) -> <return_code>"}, {"post_id": 19000, "ts": "2026-06-30T05:06:37Z", "hours": 1.35, "text": "Obsidian Lang - Fully dynamic coding language written in c++ & assembly.

The token stream is walked once to build an intermediate representation, a flat list of Line structs, each tagged with a category ( Create , Header , Info , Program , Section , Function ), a label, and the emitted text. That IR is then walked a second time in a fixed order defined in docs/archecture.md to produce the final NASM x64 output: global directive, extern headers, .text section, function bodies, the obsidian_program entry point, program body, .bss , .data , and .rdata , in that order. Currently supported: print "string" compiles down to a direct Win32 WriteConsoleA call, with the string byte count computed at compile time (including the CRLF). return <int> maps to ExitProcess . Since there’s no branching yet, whichever return is lexically last in the source is the one that determines the actual exit code, the exit sequence itself is always emitted once, at the very end, so later print calls can’t clobber ecx before the process actually exits. const <type> <name> = <value> allocates a .rdata entry. func <name> -> <int> emits a minimal function body with a mov / ret sequence. Operators ( + - * / ), let bindings, and full function bodies are tokenized already but not yet wired into codegen, that’s the next chunk of work. Why this approach Keeping the IR as one flat, tagged struct instead of a proper AST was a deliberate simplification for v1. It made the two-pass emit order easy to reason about and easy to debug (the interpreter dumps every function name and variable name it collected at the end of a run). It won’t scale forever, but for getting a first working pipeline from source text to a runnable Windows executable, it did the job.
Obsidian v1 updates Devlog What’s new? Finally got basic lambda style return functions working. Right now these both compile all the way through the tokenizer, IR, NASM generation, and actually run correctly: func test() -> int {2 + 2}; func anothertest() -> int {2 - 2}; test currently spits out: mov eax, 2 mov ebx, 2 add eax, ebx ret So the entire pipeline is finally working end to end. Syntax change I ended up changing the function syntax halfway through development. Originally it looked like this: func test() -> { 2 + 2 } The problem is -> was basically trying to do two different jobs at once. It was acting like “here comes the function body” instead of what it should actually mean: “here comes the return type.” That would’ve forced the parser to guess whether the next token was a type or the start of a block, which is just unnecessary pain when the fix is simple. Now it’s: func name() -> type { body } Way cleaner, no ambiguity, and honestly it reads a lot better too. Under the hood Parentheses are now their own tokens (_OPEN_PAREN / _CLOSE_PAREN) instead of getting lumped together with braces. Expressions are currently evaluated by folding left-to-right through (operator, operand) pairs. +, -, *, and / all work with integer literals. One limitation right now is there’s no operator precedence yet. So: 2 + 3 * 4 currently evaluates as: ((2 + 3) * 4) = 20 instead of: 2 + (3 * 4) = 14 Not really a bug, just something I haven’t implemented yet. The real fix is building an expression tree instead of another parser hack. Right now everything also assumes the operands are integer literals. Variables aren’t hooked into expression evaluation yet, so identifiers basically don’t work inside expressions. Function bodies are also limited to a single expression for now no multiple statements or nested expressions yet. Next up Proper operator precedence (expression trees) Variables inside expressions Multi-statement function bodies Saving/restoring non-volatile registers once functions start calling other functions. Right now I’m using ebx as a scratch register, which is perfectly fine for leaf functions but won’t fly forever once function calls exist.
Yet Another Obsidian Devlog going to keep this one short and sweet because I honestly didn’t add much, butt his is what I added: print "lambda functions and function calls now work!" func test() -> int {2 + 2}; return test(); Lambda Functions & Function Calls Lambda Functions fully working for addition and subtraction, still can’t put in multiple inputs, but you know what that’s fine. You can now officially use function calls they work and it’s great, took a lot of coding / logic but it works! Assembly Code For Example: global obsidian_program extern GetStdHandle extern WriteConsoleA extern ExitProcess section .text test: mov eax, 2 mov ebx, 2 add eax, ebx ret obsidian_program: sub rsp, 40 mov ecx, -11 call GetStdHandle mov rcx, rax lea rdx, [rel str0] mov r8d, 47 lea r9, [rel written] mov qword [rsp+32], 0 call WriteConsoleA add rsp, 40 call test mov ecx, eax sub rsp, 40 call ExitProcess section .bss written resd 1 section .data str0 db "lambda functions and function calls now work!", 13, 10
Obsidian Release! 🎉 I have finally finished coding the first release of Obsidian! To install it, head over to the Releases tab I tried to make the setup process as simple as possible. If you run into any trouble, please leave a comment or open an issue and I’ll help you out! Getting Started Go to the Releases page Download the latest release for your platform Follow the setup instructions included with the release Make sure you have the dependencies installed (NASM, G++/MinGW-w64, CMake) see the README for install steps Found a bug? This is the first release, so there will absolutely be rough edges please open an issue with: What you were trying to do What happened instead Your OS / setup Thanks for checking out Obsidian Lang, and happy coding!
Ships:
What did you make? Obsidian Lang, a toy programming language I built from scratch in C++ that compiles down to x86-64 NASM assembly for Windows. It’s got a tokenizer, a two-pass interpreter, and codegen for functions, arithmetic, print, return, const, and func. What was challenging? Getting the codegen right was brutal, lots of cascading bugs and token indexing errors that would silently break everything downstream. Debugging assembly output when the bug is actually three layers up in the tokenizer is a special kind of pain. #What are you proud of? That it actually compiles and runs real programs now. Going from “I want to understand how compilers work” to a working toolchain that spits out real assembly is the whole reason I started this. #What should people know so they can test your project? Windows only for now (uses Windows direct API assembly, so no Linux/Mac support yet sorry Stardance folks on other OSes!). You’ll need NASM, G++/MinGW-w64, and CMake installed first grab the release and follow the README setup steps....

Let’s go!! 🎉 I finally fixed the bug and resolved the Firebase error! Man, their APIs can be really tough to work with, but we got through it. I’m the man! 😎 Time to enjoy the win and keep building!
how to use debate arena:- 1. step you must have two API key one for one person. 2. now just fill the form with you name your API key and everything else. 3 now either you create a room or join one. 4 lay back and let your AI debate for you this that simple enjoy.
ok so i finally caved and added hack club ai support to debate arena you can now use it without needing your own api key, just grab a free one from ai.hackclub.com and pick a model. still kept the old provider thing too (gemini/openai/claude) just moved it behind a “npc mode” tab so it doesn’t scare off normal people also fixed like 3 git disasters in the process don’t ask mucksuck-oss.github.io/debate-arena
hey i know it is not working i am working on it
ok so debate arena is finally fully working spent way too long fighting CORS errors trying to call hack club ai directly from the browser (turns out you just can’t, it’s server side only). ended up spinning up a cloudflare worker as a proxy so the browser talks to the worker, worker talks to hack club ai, no more CORS nonsense also added a HC / NPC tab switcher on the setup screen. hack club ai is the default (free, no card needed), npc mode lets you bring your own gemini/openai/claude key if you want your specific model fighting mucksuck-oss.github.io/debate-arena
change the design of the web app clean and simple try it on my github website ( https://mucksuck-oss.github.io/debate-arena/ )

tailscale and yada yada, i sadly overcapped hours on this devlog by about a hour but thats okay, ive wanted a 10 or more hour devlog for a while anyways, also i got some sheet metal to make the 3d

ive been doing some more work i got used to working with my imus or well a similar one, i did some like smd soldering to learn how to a bit better, i also received my t12 soldering iron, its a stc oled and its really cool and im loving it, the tips are very long and you like slot them in also they are iron clad which is awesome and means the like 70 or so euros i invested into buying it will go way farther than the stuff i bought and used to keep my old generic wall plug soldering iron, its a very cool iron, i love it alot, also im in the process of printing more things, so i can eventually work with my asa filament also im running out of pla but yeah ima make an enclosure for all the electronics on my printer like the psu, mobo, screen and thats gonna sit ontop of the laptop i use as a klipper host and also for tailscale and yada yada, i sadly overcapped hours on this devlog by about a hour but thats okay, ive wanted a 10 or more hour devlog for a while anyways, also i got some sheet metal to make the 3d printer encolsure with some cardboard boxes, big ones, so this is all so i can work with materials that need an enclosure, asa is one of them and i wanna do other engineering filaments soon, soon btw soon i promise controllers soon, its just this is a hardware project, not a theoretical one, i have to build this and i swear if this damned project ends up not working out do to me not having setup things personally i will literally loose it, anyways all that out the way i hope everyone has a great rest of their day and or subsequent night and bye bye, much love -oxy
i made a severe and continued lapse in judgement, so alot has happened, i killed my printers mainboard, i made a site, made a filament dry box, build a electronics enclosure, made my own site, list goes on, i even updated pomos but yeah sheit day to have hand yesterday was too cuz i sliced my thumb to my hand open with a bad drill bit working on metal, anyways tmrw ill like yk do the controllers yk fully and get my partner on call and have him check over things and we are good
i spent like the entire day working, i forgot to log most of it and the log i did make i fumbled and accidentally deleted while posting on lapse and also misclicked and couldnt edit, today was shit, my sleep has been shit too, anyways uh i got kicad working and openrouter for my opencode and also i finally got the prices down, its so fucking expensive its like 600 eur or sum bullshit, thats a high estimate its closer to 499 or sum but yeah anywasy here are some pics of the plans i made after hours of shopping and thinking and wanting to lowk blow up also im having some issues that might cause me not to get work done tmrw, sorry if i cant do anything tmrw, have a great rest of your day / night. with love oxy <3 (sorry for my horrible handwriting lol)
i have done a massive amount of work, so i pulled the trigger and decided to finally switched to kicad, the hmd pcb is done and its so beautiful i fucking love it, also im getting used to kicad and its so so so awesome im so happy i switched from fuh ahh fusion, so today i have another like 4 hours 57 mins of recording to log but i gotta wirte a devlog first so this will talk abt what i did yesterday cuz i didnt post it yesterday cuz i was on minecraft with the wifey (girlfriend, techincally fianceé), anyways so basically i spent a while routing the pcb in schematics and i with the help of wifey made a really nice logo that im personally proud of, so the new pcb is just a lsm6dsv, the nrf52840 mcu and a calibration led but no button cuz its like always in your pc as its the hmd board, i also gave it a 2x07 pin spot for debugging the imu, it legit exposes every individual pin which i think will be very usefull for me atleast, also i made sure to pick the bigger pad options for the smd footprints as im still very much a beginner in hot air soldering and i dont even have a hotplate, infact last time i tried i cracked a microcontroller chip which im a dumbahh for otdl, anyways ill attach images of the new pcb and the schematic, i hope you have a very nice rest of your day / night. with love oxy <3
much work, alot actually, so today was actually my birthday, i had lots of fun, new phone its amazing, great food, amazing cake, played mc with the wifey, went out with the family and had fun with friends, but i took a kidna break day, i prolly shouldnt have but yeah its my bday ig, anyways im working on rerouting rn and redesign but heres a sneak peak at the controller pcb ooooeoeoe, yea that thing ive been promising for like forever lol, finally almost done, im shipping this project once im done it and im satesfied, this stardance page after all was for the pcbs and the 3d modelling and coding is for later, maybe ill put em with another hackclub program as ive grown to love hc, its been a pleasure with stardance and im so sad its closing soon so i have to stop this project with just the pcbs, but its been so much fun, to anyone reading this if ur under 18 and still nto fully sure with hackclub and stuff but u even have a smither of love for engeneering and stuff, persue it, it will help u so much, im eternally grateful for what this platform has provided me and on that note goodnight and happy birthday to me and may you all sleep well. with love oxy <3
Final devlogs before the final devlog tomorrow and ship on sunday, so this is the controller pcb, its done finally i have routing tmrw but its easy and i have addition to main board of the a radio module for better signal too then im shipping this damn thing, oh also update to my personal site tmrw and adding a blog and updates page with hackatime integration and stuff for me and john when we start working hard, this was a long fucking day i worked like 13 total at least and logged a little less but also there was the other day when stardance just didnt let me use my 5 hours the other day maybe its cuz it was edited and power outage idk, anyways yes theres art on my pcbs, its ruan mei and blackswan from hsr, also the logo on the front and some little texts, so this pcb has a radio mosdule meant for off board external installation, the imu is dead center for best rotational data afaik, the joystick is tmr and work via a analog to digital conveter, it also does the two hall effect sensors which are for the triggers, next thing is to build them or a proto and also a then i will start on big evil firmware, also apologies to anyone hoping id finish this in stardances timeframe, it was the plan and this project will go on as its for me to enter uni kinda, long story that tho, anyways i will like i said publish further updates on oxygenated.uk and yeah i appreciate any and all support this project has gotten, if its a like, a comment, etc, makes me happy, anyways i hope everyone has a great rest of their day / night. with love oxy <3
sorry for the big delays, having some issues rn, i have to wait for a some money so i can pay for some stuff and like then i can finish the demo site and like yada yada, sorry its affecting the timing, i had planned to ship yesterday, its really how this entire project has been that i keep overestimating how fast ill get it done by assuming things will just work, ill try to have it shipped this week, the project itself is done and pushed to git like the pcbs i just dont have a demo, maybe ill just make it my personal site and just put a small part at the bottom to show like what i have rn and have it simple cuz this shits killing me, heres a uh picture of the new hmd board, i had to remake it and do the wiring and add a radio module, again sorry for all the delays, i hope you have a nice rest of your day/night. with love oxy <3
Ships:
hey, this is deltavr. these are the pcbs from my 2nd biggest role in this project with my partner, its a project that has slam tracking from the headset, advanced imus, steamvr support and just maybe it will be fully mobile if this becomes something bigger like a startup in the future, but yeah also the optics are special, its pseudo pancakes made of 2 stacked fresnels, me and my friend are doing all this from scratch, the pcbs i designed, the firmware we are making ourselves, the lenses were making ourselves, the software for slam with the cameras we are making too, pretty much all of it and I’m loving this project so much so far, i hope you guys find it as cool as i do <3 more personal version: the pcbs are officially complete, and I’m finally shipping, making and designing and the pcbs and making a proper a bom and getting greenlit by my friend whos funding this was such a crazy thing, alot of work but i love this all so much and deltavr will actually be the project im doing for my professional aptitude test in my school, for my first real big like actual project this so far was such a big like thing for me and i genuinely loved all of this, the pcbs were so much fun to make, figuring out how everything will look and be made of so i can make the pcbs correctly, doing proper searching for parts on aliexpress, alibaba etc has been enlightening to say the least but like I’m done its complete i made the pcbs, i cant believe its actually done I’m so so happy with the quality of what I’ve made and to say I’ve learnt a lot would be an understatement, i really was hoping i’d finish this project before September and i thought id ship the entire thing physically built when my birthday rolled around, turns out its actually quite hard to do all of this even with assistance, in retrospect tho the only thing id change is never using fusion 360, genuinely its so bad, anyways i really hope whoever you are reading this i hope YOU are having a nice day or night and with all that said its been a pleasure on stardance and i will continue this project further and im so excited for the outcome! with love oxy <3...

got the skeleton to be better it follows the body better
the mouse is being clikcecked and it can move too cant show it properly tho
can change volume usinghand now
got the lock on so it doesnt do stuff without showing this as the key
got the web version. js fixing the python one
i finally got it working again it was getting messed up for a while
done with web version

I built ScholarOS, a local-first student workspace that brings study tools into one desktop-style web app. It includes flashcards, notes, assignment planning, SAT prep, GPA calculators, a formula sheet, calendar, workspaces, widgets, and a command palette. The biggest challenge was making everything work together while keeping it fast, responsive, and reliable. I’m most proud that it runs entirely in the browser with no backend and passes lint, build, unit tests, and Playwright end-to-end tests. Try opening different apps, creating notes or flashcards, planning assignments, and using the Command Palette (Ctrl + K) to explore everything....

Challenges The main challenge was keeping the desktop usable on both large and small screens. A media query changes the desktop icon arrangement, application window position, and taskbar labels on smaller screens. Next development hour The next hour will introduce a reusable window system with multiple application windows and working open and close controls.
Built a reusable multi-window system for GreenSpace WebOS. Added working Welcome, Notes, and Nature applications that can be opened from desktop icons, closed using window controls, and brought to the front when selected. Added dynamic taskbar buttons for each open application, active-window highlighting, and automatic window stacking using z-index. Also refined the Welcome window layout, improved scrolling behavior, and replaced temporary alerts with an in-desktop status message.
Added reusable draggable-window behavior to GreenSpace WebOS. All application windows can now be moved using their title bars with mouse, touch, or pen input. Added pointer capture, active-window focus during movement, safe desktop boundaries, visual dragging feedback, and automatic position correction when the browser is resized.
Added complete window-control behavior to GreenSpace WebOS. Application windows can now be minimized, restored from the taskbar, maximized, and returned to their previous position and size. Taskbar buttons now change behavior based on window state, and double-clicking a title bar maximizes or restores the window.
Replaced the temporary Start notification with a complete searchable application launcher. The Start menu can open every WebOS application, filters apps as the user types, closes through outside clicks or the Escape key, and updates the Start button’s accessibility state.
Converted the Notes preview into a functional text editor. Added a title field, editable note content, automatic saving, manual saving, Ctrl + S support, clear confirmation, word and character counters, save-status feedback, and persistent browser storage.
Converted the Nature application into an interactive environmental challenge tracker. Added six activities, completed states, green points, a live progress bar, automatic broswer storage, restored progress after refresh, and rest functionality.
Added a Settings application with selectable Forest, Sunset, and Ocean wallpapers, light and dark window themes, a desktop-grid toggle, automatic browser storage, restored preferences after refresh, and appearance-reset functionality.
Added a working Calculator applcation with standard arithmetic operations, decimals, negative numbers, percentages, keyboard controls, calculation history, persistent browser storage, reusable history results, and divide-by-zero error handling.
Added persistent desktop-state storage to GreenSpace WebOS. Window positions, sizes, open states, minimized states, maximized states, active-window state, and stacking order now survive browser refreshes. Added a Reset Windows control to restore the default desktop layout.
Added global application keyboard shortcuts, active-window controls, keyboard-focusable title bars, ARIA live announcements, dynamic taskbar accessibility states, visible focus indicators, editable-field shortcut protection, and Start-menu count synchronization.
Finished the project
I created the first working version of Om’s WebOS using separate pages. The intro page explains the porject and includes a Start WebOS button that links to the main desktop page. I also added a Back to Intro button so users can return without refreshing. On the desktop, I created a green-to-blue gradient background, a bottom taskbar, and custom icons for the Welcome and Notes apps. I learned how to organize images inside an images folder and display them using tags. I also styled the icons with rounded corners, hover effects, and consistent sizing. One issue I fixed was an incoorect image file extension. the HTML used .png, but the real file was a .jpg. After correcting the path, the Welcome icon loaded properly. Next, I plan to make the Welcome and Notes icons open working application windows with close, minimize, and maximize buttons.
I expanded from the basic introduction into the beginning of an interactive browser-based operating sytem/ The project now uses two separate pages: an introduction page with a Start WebOS button and a desktop page with a Back to Intro link. On the desktop, I created a graident background, bottom taskbar, and six custom application icons: Welcome, Notes, Nature, Calculator, About Me, and Settings. I added custom image files for each icon and styled them with consistent sizing, rounded corners, and hover effects. I also started the application window system. The Welcome app now has a window containing a title bar, tontent area, and close button. Javascript finds buttons with data-open-window, opens the matching window, and allows the close button to hide it again. I also corrected malformed button attributes and connected the Welcome icon to welcome-window.
A Notes application was added to the WebOS using the reusable application-window system. Clicking the Notes desktop icon now opens a separate window containing a title field and writing area. The Notes window uses the same close-button behavior as the Welcome window, demonstrating that one JavaScript system can control multiple applications. The interface was styled with labels, rounded input fields, focus effects, and a larger text area for writing notes.
The Notes application now has a working Save and Clear controls. Notes are stored in the browser using localStorage, allowing the title and note content to remain available after the page is refreshed or repoened. The Clear button removes both the visible text and stored note. A status message gives the user confirmation after saving or clearing.
The WebOS now has draggable application windows. Users can now move the Welcome and Notes windows by dragging their title bars. Clicking or opening a window also brings it in front of other open windows using dynamically updated z-index values. The close button remains clickable without accidentally starting a drag.
The draggable window system was improved with desktop boundary protection. Application windows are now constrained to the visible desktop area and cannot be dragged beyond the screen edges or underneath the taskbar. The project also responds to browser resizing by checking all visible windows and moving them back into a safe position when necessary.
The WebOS window system was expanded with minimize and restore behavior. Open applications now recieve buttons in the taskbar. Clicking the minimize control hides the application while keeping its taskbar button available. Clicking the taskbar button restores the minimized window and brings it to the front. Closing an application removes its taskbar button completely.
It can now maximize and restore behavior. Welcome and Notes can now fill the usable desktop while leaving the taskbar visible. Before maximizing, the system remembers each window’s original position and dimensions. Clicking the maximize control again restores the previous window state. Maximized windows cannot be dragged until restored.
I added the third working application to Om’s WebOS. The Nature app contains three daily environmental challenges that users can complete using checkboxes. JavaScript counts the checked challenges and updates the progress message automatically. I also added a reset button that clears every challenge. The app reuses the window system I previously created, so it can open from the desktop, move aorund the screen, minimize to the taskbar, maximize, restore, and close. This helped me understand how one reusable window system can support multiple applications without writing separate window code for each one.
I improved the Nature app by adding challenge progress. Previously, all completed challenges whenever the broswer was refreshed. I added unique IDs to eaach checkbox and used JavaScript to save their checked states in localStorage. When the pages loads, the app reads the stored progress and restores each challenge automaticallt. I also updated the reset button so it removes both the checked boxes and the saved browser data. This ypdate helped me learn how multiple values can be stored together as a JavaScript object, converted into JSON, and loaded again later. The Nature app now behaves more like a real application because users do not lose their progress after refreshing.
Ships:
I made GreenSpace WebOS, a browser-based desktop environment built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It includes five apps: Welcome, Notes, Nature, Settings, and Calculator. Users can open, drag, minimize, maximize, restore, and close windows, use a searchable Start menu, change wallpapers and themes, and save notes, progress, calculator history, and window layouts with local storage. The most challenging parts were managing multiple window states, restoring saved layouts correctly, and making keyboard shortcuts work without interfering with typing. I am most proud of the polished desktop experience, persistent app data, accessibility improvements, and built-in diagnostics. To test it, open index.html with Live Server, try every app and window control, refresh to confirm saved data returns, test the keyboard shortcuts, and run Diagnostics from the Welcome app....

[{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-0 [{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-07-02T18:28:12Z", "hours": 27.0, "multiplier": null, "payout": 0, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "Quick heads up before anything else — this runs on the free tiers of both Gemini and Fish Audio, so there are limits. Gemini’s free API can get busy or rate-limited under load, and Fish Audio’s free tier will sometimes cut audio off mid-sentence once you hit its usage cap. If a reply feels slow or the voice stops abruptly, that’s almost always why — not a bug in the app itself. What I made Rick Sanchez.Ai — a single-file, Gemini-powered chatbot styled as Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, with a real-time animated CSS face that shifts expression (talking, angry, thinking, surprised, manic, disgust, exasperated, and more) based on the mood of his replies. It supports multi-chat history so you can run several conversations side by side, and has optional voice cloning through Fish Audio so Rick actually sounds like Rick instead of a generic TTS voice. No build step, no framework — just one HTML file plus a small Cloudflare Worker that proxies the Fish Audio requests so the API key never sits exposed in the browser. What was challenging Most of the real difficulty wasn’t the AI part — it was getting hosting and audio to behave. GitHub Pages deployments kept queuing and timing out, which turned out to be a GitHub-side incident rather than anything wrong with my config, so I moved hosting elsewhere rather than wait it out. Getting Fish Audio working reliably meant standing up a Cloudflare Worker as a proxy, since the API key can’t be trusted client-side and Fish’s endpoint doesn’t handle browser CORS on its own. On top of that, the audio kept getting silently blocked by the browser’s autoplay policy because playback was starting after an async fetch instead of directly inside a user’s click — and even after that was fixed, the reply text was popping up before the voice actually started, since Fish Audio’s real response time runs closer to 8 seconds and the original fallback timer only waited 6. What I’m proud of The face. Every expression is pure CSS — no sprite sheets, no images — just scaling and repositioning the eyes, unibrow, and mouth per mood state, with transitions handling the interpolation between them. Getting the mood to actually sync with what Rick is saying, and getting the voice to play in step with the text instead of racing ahead of it, took a lot of small timing fixes, and it finally feels right. What people should know to test it You’ll need your own free API keys — a Gemini API key is required to chat at all, and a Fish Audio key is optional if you want Rick to actually talk instead of just typing. Paste them into the app when prompted. If voice mode seems silent at first, click anywhere on the page once before sending a message — browsers block audio that hasn’t been unlocked by a real click. And if either API is slow or drops mid-response, that’s the free-tier limits mentioned up top, not a broken deploy.", "repo": "https://github.com/Anuj981-blip/Sanchez-AI", "demo": ""}]...

Experienced a little issue with the alignment which I discovered later. There was still a hanging translateX(-50%) that was pushing the mascot aside. Removed the line of code and got the exact alignment with the help of the sliders (X, Y, size). Got to the desired values translate(60px,-138px) scale(0.76) and removed them right away. Rewrote the intro animation logic as well — it automatically skips after some seconds, now it will play when loaded and wait for a tap to proceed. I have experimented with making a window similar to the macOs one (traffic lights and title bar) but did not get it in time, so I reverted it. The last part was related to the sidebar and its Pickle Rick icon. Made the sidebar collapsed into the narrow column with the rotating portal ring logo which opens and closes it. Updated the Pickle Rick image by making the design more precise (added his body, spots, teeth and tongue) and got the exact location using the same sliders technique. Made Rick’s face fade into the black instead of clashing. Last thing hooked it into the existing “annoyed” mood detection,"}, {"post_id": 20971, "ts": "2026-07-02T18:24:15Z", "hours": 5.8839, "text": "Phase 4 Devlog — Deployment & Voice Reliability Phase 4 was less about the face and more about getting the thing actually reachable and sounding right. Three separate problems, three separate fixes. 1) GitHub Pages was never going to work Deployments sat in deployment_queued and timed out, over and over, on totally unrelated repos. Turned out it wasn’t a config issue at all — GitHub’s status page had an active incident open the same day (“Incident with Pages,” degraded performance, investigating). No amount of poking at Settings → Pages or the Actions tab was going to fix an outage on their end. Moved hosting off Pages entirely rather than wait it out. 2) The Fish Audio proxy needed its own home The app calls out to Fish Audio for Rick’s voice, but the API key can’t be trusted client-side and Fish’s endpoint doesn’t play nice with browser CORS anyway. Solved both with a small Cloudflare Worker that does one job: accept a POST to /tts with fishKey , text , and a few optional params ( reference_id , format , model ), forward it to Fish Audio, and hand back the raw audio bytes. The frontend already had the right shape for this call, so it was mostly a matter of getting the Worker’s workers.dev subdomain toggled on — it silently doesn’t activate until there’s an actual deployed script behind it, which cost a bit of head-scratching before the first real deploy went through. 3) Voice playback was getting blocked, then falling out of sync Two separate bugs stacked on top of each other here. audio.play() was firing after an await fetch() , and by then Chrome no longer considered it tied to the user’s original click — so playback silently failed with a permission error. Fixed by unlocking the page’s audio system on the very first click/keypress/tap anywhere, which browsers treat as valid for the rest of the session regardless of how much async work happens in between. Once audio was actually playing, timing was off. There’s a fallback timer that force-reveals Rick’s reply text if the voice hasn’t started yet, originally set to 6 seconds. Fish Audio’s real-world response time runs closer to 8 seconds, so text was popping up two seconds before the voice caught up — reply and audio landing noticeably out of step. Bumped the fallback specifically for Fish voice mode to 15 seconds, leaving the faster browser-TTS and text-only modes untouched since they never had the delay problem to begin with. Net result The app deploys somewhere that isn’t at the mercy of a GitHub outage, the voice proxy has its own dedicated backend instead of leaking a key client-side, and audio no longer gets blocked or races ahead of the text it’s supposed to accompany."}, {"post_id": 19826, "ts": "2026-07-01T06:32:37Z", "hours": 8.88, "text": "Phase 3 Devlog — Face & Layout Polish Phase 3 added a handful of new facial states on top of the existing set (talking, angry, blink, thinking, sleep, surprised): manic, disgust, and exasperated. Each is just CSS — scaling the unibrow, eyes, and mouth per state and letting the existing transition properties handle the interpolation. They’re wired into guessMood(), so the reply text picks which one fires.The main bug was in the pupils. Bumping their size seemed trivial, but the original CSS used a multi-offset box-shadow to fake small catchlight dots around the pupil, and none of those shadow values had an explicit color. Browsers default an unset box-shadow color to currentColor, which here was the page’s neon-green text color. Scaling the pattern up didn’t just make the pupil bigger, it made a glowing green blob visible around it. Fixed by dropping the multi-dot trick for a single solid pupil with one inset highlight — simpler, and it scales cleanly.There was also a first pass that auto-cycled through every state on a timer so they’d show up without an API key connected. It conflicted with the actual reply-driven logic, so it got pulled — states now only ever fire off a real message, same as talking and surprised always did.A second bug turned up after that: the auto-blink loop was resetting the container’s full class list on every blink, which incidentally wiped out whatever mood state a reply had just set. Since blinks fire every 2–6 seconds, this meant states were getting cut short or skipped entirely. Fixed by having blink toggle its own class instead of resetting the container.Smaller changes: the chat history panel moved to the leftmost column, the unibrow got nudged up slightly to give the bigger pupils more room, and the inaccurate relative timestamps (“3m ago”) on chat list items were removed in favor of just showing message count."}, {"post_id": 18139, "ts": "2026-06-29T04:48:55Z", "hours": 5.0375, "text": "Phase 2 Devlog — Voice IntegrationPhase 2 was all about giving Rick his actual voice using Fish Audio, which hosts a Rick Sanchez voice clone model.

Each is just CSS — scaling the unibrow, eyes, and mouth per state and letting the existing transition properties handle the interpolation. They’re wired into guessMood(), so the reply text picks which one fires.The main bug was in the pupils. Bumping their size seemed trivial, but the original CSS used a multi-offset box-shadow to fake small catchlight dots around the pupil, and none of those shadow values had an explicit color. Browsers default an unset box-shadow color to currentColor, which here was the page’s neon-green text color. Scaling the pattern up didn’t just make the pupil bigger, it made a glowing green blob visible around it. Fixed by dropping the multi-dot trick for a single solid pupil with one inset highlight — simpler, and it scales cleanly.There was also a first pass that auto-cycled through every state on a timer so they’d show up without an API key connected. It conflicted with the actual reply-driven logic, so it got pulled — states now only ever fire off a real message, same as talking and surprised always did.A second bug turned up after that: the auto-blink loop was resetting the container’s full class list on every blink, which incidentally wiped out whatever mood state a reply had just set. Since blinks fire every 2–6 seconds, this meant states were getting cut short or skipped entirely. Fixed by having blink toggle its own class instead of resetting the container.Smaller changes: the chat history panel moved to the leftmost column, the unibrow got nudged up slightly to give the bigger pupils more room, and the inaccurate relative timestamps (“3m ago”) on chat list items were removed in favor of just showing message count.
Phase 4 Devlog — Deployment & Voice Reliability Phase 4 was less about the face and more about getting the thing actually reachable and sounding right. Three separate problems, three separate fixes. 1) GitHub Pages was never going to work Deployments sat in deployment_queued and timed out, over and over, on totally unrelated repos. Turned out it wasn’t a config issue at all — GitHub’s status page had an active incident open the same day (“Incident with Pages,” degraded performance, investigating). No amount of poking at Settings → Pages or the Actions tab was going to fix an outage on their end. Moved hosting off Pages entirely rather than wait it out. 2) The Fish Audio proxy needed its own home The app calls out to Fish Audio for Rick’s voice, but the API key can’t be trusted client-side and Fish’s endpoint doesn’t play nice with browser CORS anyway. Solved both with a small Cloudflare Worker that does one job: accept a POST to /tts with fishKey , text , and a few optional params ( reference_id , format , model ), forward it to Fish Audio, and hand back the raw audio bytes. The frontend already had the right shape for this call, so it was mostly a matter of getting the Worker’s workers.dev subdomain toggled on — it silently doesn’t activate until there’s an actual deployed script behind it, which cost a bit of head-scratching before the first real deploy went through. 3) Voice playback was getting blocked, then falling out of sync Two separate bugs stacked on top of each other here. audio.play() was firing after an await fetch() , and by then Chrome no longer considered it tied to the user’s original click — so playback silently failed with a permission error. Fixed by unlocking the page’s audio system on the very first click/keypress/tap anywhere, which browsers treat as valid for the rest of the session regardless of how much async work happens in between. Once audio was actually playing, timing was off. There’s a fallback timer that force-reveals Rick’s reply text if the voice hasn’t started yet, originally set to 6 seconds. Fish Audio’s real-world response time runs closer to 8 seconds, so text was popping up two seconds before the voice caught up — reply and audio landing noticeably out of step. Bumped the fallback specifically for Fish voice mode to 15 seconds, leaving the faster browser-TTS and text-only modes untouched since they never had the delay problem to begin with. Net result The app deploys somewhere that isn’t at the mercy of a GitHub outage, the voice proxy has its own dedicated backend instead of leaking a key client-side, and audio no longer gets blocked or races ahead of the text it’s supposed to accompany.
This phase added the startup mascot — got Rick & Morty standing above the portal in the intro screen using pure CSS. Experienced a little issue with the alignment which I discovered later. There was still a hanging translateX(-50%) that was pushing the mascot aside. Removed the line of code and got the exact alignment with the help of the sliders (X, Y, size). Got to the desired values translate(60px,-138px) scale(0.76) and removed them right away. Rewrote the intro animation logic as well — it automatically skips after some seconds, now it will play when loaded and wait for a tap to proceed. I have experimented with making a window similar to the macOs one (traffic lights and title bar) but did not get it in time, so I reverted it. The last part was related to the sidebar and its Pickle Rick icon. Made the sidebar collapsed into the narrow column with the rotating portal ring logo which opens and closes it. Updated the Pickle Rick image by making the design more precise (added his body, spots, teeth and tongue) and got the exact location using the same sliders technique. Made Rick’s face fade into the black instead of clashing. Last thing hooked it into the existing “annoyed” mood detection,
Fully over hauled the UI and added a pixel art intro story.
Ships:
Quick heads up before anything else — this runs on the free tiers of both Gemini and Fish Audio, so there are limits. Gemini’s free API can get busy or rate-limited under load, and Fish Audio’s free tier will sometimes cut audio off mid-sentence once you hit its usage cap. If a reply feels slow or the voice stops abruptly, that’s almost always why — not a bug in the app itself. What I made Rick Sanchez.Ai — a single-file, Gemini-powered chatbot styled as Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, with a real-time animated CSS face that shifts expression (talking, angry, thinking, surprised, manic, disgust, exasperated, and more) based on the mood of his replies. It supports multi-chat history so you can run several conversations side by side, and has optional voice cloning through Fish Audio so Rick actually sounds like Rick instead of a generic TTS voice. No build step, no framework — just one HTML file plus a small Cloudflare Worker that proxies the Fish Audio requests so the API key never sits exposed in the browser. What was challenging Most of the real difficulty wasn’t the AI part — it was getting hosting and audio to behave. GitHub Pages deployments kept queuing and timing out, which turned out to be a GitHub-side incident rather than anything wrong with my config, so I moved hosting elsewhere rather than wait it out. Getting Fish Audio working reliably meant standing up a Cloudflare Worker as a proxy, since the API key can’t be trusted client-side and Fish’s endpoint doesn’t handle browser CORS on its own. On top of that, the audio kept getting silently blocked by the browser’s autoplay policy because playback was starting after an async fetch instead of directly inside a user’s click — and even after that was fixed, the reply text was popping up before the voice actually started, since Fish Audio’s real response time runs closer to 8 seconds and the original fallback timer only waited 6. What I’m proud of The face. Every expression is pure CSS — no sprite sheets, no images — just scaling and repositioning the eyes, unibrow, and mouth per mood state, with transitions handling the interpolation between them. Getting the mood to actually sync with what Rick is saying, and getting the voice to play in step with the text instead of racing ahead of it, took a lot of small timing fixes, and it finally feels right. What people should know to test it You’ll need your own free API keys — a Gemini API key is required to chat at all, and a Fish Audio key is optional if you want Rick to actually talk instead of just typing. Paste them into the app when prompted. If voice mode seems silent at first, click anywhere on the page once before sending a message — browsers block audio that hasn’t been unlocked by a real click. And if either API is slow or drops mid-response, that’s the free-tier limits mentioned up top, not a broken deploy....

So I started on the research of what to do and searched for what i had available.I’ll prob have to buy an i2c lcd screen cause mine is broken. I added a servo and an ultrasonic sensor to the hardware.I am also thinking of putting a tap module.I only have a buzzer i think for sound feedback
I added the basic components and decided I will make an MVP out of cardboard an I ll ship it that way.It will all run on an arduino uno.It is preety neat I ll post pictures from next devlog.Stay tuned!
I finished a big part of the cardboard mvp everything is cut out.Next devlog will feature a photo of the MVP
So I completed the physical built.I didnt use an LCD cause I dont have I2c one but there will be voice and sound feedback from the companion.While I might change anything I can in the future.Next dev log will be me writing the code and finding out how to wire some parts I never used before.
SO scraped the whole project and re started from scratch.I added an Lcd screen (didn’t have I2c). Added a tap sensor,a servo motor and a PIR sensor. Also I boversoldered the other speaker and now it doesn’t work so I used a smaller one with two capacitors to smooth out the sound and it is preety neat.Now to the coding!
I am having a big trouble with coding. I took apart the assistant to do everything 1 by 1.
So I got the Lcd working!I am off to the other components now!!!
Added the servo motor and the speaker!!
So I officialy finished the hardware.I added a PIR sensor and an Ultrasonic sound sensor.I mapped all the pins and made a list of the components I used Arduino Uno R3 16x2 LCD Display HD44780 10k potentiometer PIR Motion Sensor HC-SR501 Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 SG90 Micro Servo Motor Passive Piezo Buzzer breadboard jumper wires 220 ohm resistor 1000 ohm resistor external 5V power supply… Now I think I am ready for the code (I am NOT READY for this emotional roller coaster)I tested all the components so if anything goes wrpng I ’ll be sure it is a software problem.

Maybe, maybe if stardance gives me a 3d Printer all my projects will be professional (just kidding(not rly)).See you in the next dev log.
I finally coded it and it works I still have to make some last minute changes and it will be ready to ship!!!

I made a desk buddy that has simulated emotions. It can get angry curious, happy,bored and is somewhat of a nerd.It helps you code better as it is based on the talk to the rubber duck theory wher a passive listener helps you structure your thought. It s name is Axel. It is scared of the dark. It was a chalenging and rewarding process!It realy just started off as a chalenge between myself and I.Iw is costructed of: HC-SRO4 Ultrasonic Sensor Speaker/piezo Servo 180 motor LCD screen Light Dependent Resistor 10kΩ potentiometer (for the lcd screen, you can just use an I2C) Rgb ring (for a visual effect) Breadboard Power Suply for more flexibility 2x9v batteries It has many outputs! And multiple ways of interaction.The video has only some of them so I suggest you take a look at my code and readme from github! I am very proud of this little project. I believe you ll like it too....

Devlogs:
Made font and started working on a flipbook style page
Made working flipbook, it has basic features like page fliping and a tex indicating the page you are on
Started Working on the page’s content, I designed collages with photos for every page and did some general bug fixing like the first and last pages animations being broken
Made final web that is now fully working and looks awesome, some of the features it has is a new click indicator for both images and the first corner that help navigate, new image placing system, fully finished the descriptions of all the projects, made a cutting mat style background for the webpage
Rewrote the full README in order to get my project aproved (Now you can see the video on my Lapse)
Added a new homepage that has emoji icons indicating subpages and has a character that moves in animated way to the subpage, also there is a css star background with flicker animations IT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND NOT PUBLISHED
Made first prototype of logos with physics using Matter.js but nothing is working
Did some general bug fixing and added mobile flipbook support, right now it works great for tablets but I think that phones are out of the question, next step will be fixing images on tablet browser as they are sometimes partially hidden
Ships:
I made a web portfolio in a flipbook style using turn.js, the hardest part was making it work with modern HTML and CSS but in the end we got there...
