I am working on my very own WebOS and its called CloudCore OS. Right now i am having a VERY hard time coding my features but im trying to absoulutely COOK take a look!
Devlog #2 working on the app designs and working on browser browser third-party capability so the browser from google work inside my browser without it opening i completely new tab with google itself and right the the only things working (In the browser tab ofc) is opening i link that actually gets shown inside my OS which is FANTASTIC and some of the things are VERY hard but i LOVE working with this very cool project! Follow to get more to know about my OS!
Devlog #03 (the final one!) i am pretty much done with my Web OS called CloudCore OS and i had some extra ideas for what i could add but i kept RAGEQUITTING so eventually i gave up but i like like what i have rn and even though it has been hard to make and smacked my laptop sometimes im glad about what i have made and i hope you guys are gonna like so here we go!
#4 - Actual final devlog for my WebOS basiccaly the same as #3 but now it is actually working
just began coding for the Web OS 2 mission

CS50x C Refresher Redid one exercise from CS50x Psets 2, 3, 4, and 5. I wanted to refresh my C programming skills because after Week 5 the course shifts more toward web applications, databases, and other topics. This was a good way to get back into writing C before continuing work on Stardance.
FINALLY FIXED SEGMENTATION PROBLEMS For context i was building the compressor and i had segmentation problems What is a segmentation problem? A segmentation problem is when you try and access memory your don’t have access. What was the problems? First the allocation, i didnt allocate for the array of pointers to my struct. Didnt check for NULL, so my arrays have 256 nodes (for all of the ASCII values) and i was trying to access values that just didnt existed. How did i fix it? I used AI to debug my code, I didnt directly asked for the awnsers, i asked it to help me without giving out awnsers. AI was very useful since i mad alot of small mistakes since i didnt program in C for a long time.
Building huffman code tree Finally finished coding everything but the tree. I can finally code without AI so for relearning, i authorized myself to use AI but only to debug, now i can finally not use it (since i relearned C) Problems I ran into several problems: Segmentation problems, i was accessing things i normally can’t Future problem, i can’t name something with more than two carrecters so when i’m merging two nodes i can’t rename thoses.
FINISHED COMPRESSOR.C Finnaly finished compressor.c after 7 hours on it! How did it did it ? Well i used AI… Yes I’m not proud but hey its finished! I was really tired and I just vibe coded it but now no more AI for decompressor.c ! Did i learn something? Yes i didn’t blindly ask AI do give answers i asked to help debug the code! What do i do next? Probably sleep, I’m so tired.
Brain cells aren’t connecting I’m super tired and my brain cells aren’t working right. sticker by fancy void
why are we only using I in loops? its a real question why only I ? I used f it was so cool. Use other letters for your loops. I’m onto something guys, it’s the next big thing. P.S : I’m going to take a break from coding in C since its pretty anoying and im not really doing anything while working maybe this challenge is really too hard for me. I’m maybe going to start another project then see.
C programmer TOUCHING grass for the FIRST TIME I didnt program for 2 days and touched some grass. How was it ? it was weird since it was grass (wich i don’t touch) but it was ok. btw it was fake grass
Finally FINISHED compressor.c when you finally finished that code
FREED ALL THE MEMORY All this memory can be reused for other good causes now
Started to code decompresor.c i have alot of problems with decompressor.c notably two nulls caracters at the start.
Fixed swapping issues, transfer list array into node array, and building codes works Swapping issues i had an issue where i was putting the new node in first in the link list so i fix it, drawing it on a sketch really helped . Transfer list to node So i transfer it into an array since its easier to use it and i coudn’t built it before since an array is a fixed size, thats why I used a linked list to first get the values and the length. Building huffman codes I just imported function i already programmed in compressor.c . image from wikipedia
Finished reading bytes, Almost finished I’m almost finished with my code (this is my longest project yet) i’m so existed ! What am i doing next? pray for no bugs
FINALLY FINISHED compressor.c AND decompressor.c THE BUG so the main bug was that the two arrays which contained the frequencies of each letter were reversed so the huffman tree was not the same and the codes too weren’t the same. THE FIX so in decompressor.c i just reversed the codes. this is not a permanent fix will investigate further into compressor.c to see why its reversed!
it’s SO HOT in europe There was an issue with compressor.c while doing it with other files than png. I’m still working on decompressor.c it can’t decode normally a file other than png. Text files still works. Heatwave Its so hot in europe, I can’t work normally, the temperatures will go down monday hopefully.
NEVER code something with AI What happened? So i said to myself that i can code this small part with AI since i don’t know the synstaxe and I did it and its the problem now. I learned bitwise operators and logique and then recoded the part, didnt finish yet.
IT WORKS but only in text files… Why dosn’t it work? In the metadata, i write it as a text file (a:1|b:5…), it works fine for text files but for other files type, it dosn’t work since its written in binary. Any solutions? i have to write the metadata in binary, yayyy…
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY I successfully compressed and decompressed a file other than text files, I used binary to write the files so it supports all the file types now! What was the problem ? So the compressed file were written in text and decompressed with text wich limited the compression for only text files. What was the fix ? I wrote the compressed file and decompressed in binary. (small part of the code i changed)
Found the problem for segmentation error (I’m back) So i had this error for the past 4 days and i coudn’t fix it so i even take a step back for 2 days but still coudn’t find it, the problem was that i had to wait 5 min for every try i did. Fix ? I used claude so he run test on faster machines, and i got the errors i have to fix. (He wanted to script it himself, i obviously said no).
Learned mmap open …. I did some exercices on mmap , open , fstat and learned thoses, next i have to implemente it in compressor.c
how did it work? i REALLY don’t know how it worked but it worked, a famouse programming therm if it works, don’t touch it! I just changed a char to an unsigned char lol.
I reached… the end? So i’ve been testing for a while now and i didn’t have much to say…. I successfully compressed, decompressed and burnt a linux iso and booted into one ! It required alot of troubleshooting and waiting ( 5 - 15min PER TRY ) but hey now it works on any file!
Started website, web assembly and my own extension! Extension I added the .huff extension since it will help me recognize files compressed by my compressor. The format used is .extension.huff (example: image.jpg.huff). Web Assembly I compiled the code to web assembly so it can run directly on the user’s PC and not on servers. Website I’m creating a simple website that just does the j*b (still woking on it, this is just the core). The website will not communicate with other APIs or services, thanks to web assembly. I hate JavaScript.
about the website… So… I abandoned it I CAN’T MAKE WEBSITES, I CAN’T STAND JAVASCRIPT. I tried to use WebAssembly, but it’s not widely used, so it’s really hard to work with. How can you use it? Well, use it with the CLI like a super nerd Don’t worry, everything is documented in the README. CLI » JAVASCRIPT
ITS REALEAAAAAASED You can use it for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The tutorial is mentioned under the README for all three systems. I tested it on Windows and Linux. I don’t have any Apple devices to test it out. :(
My Ship got rejected… kinda My Ship got requested change because my banner didn’t showcase the project now i changed it, here i compress and decompress a jpeg file and then open it! Hope this next ship will be accepted!
BACK ON C ! F**K WINDOWS, C# AND UNITY i missed C so much and working on linux too its just so much more fun and fast and, i can’t make game look good… look at my latest project . Im finally back at my roots
Compressed file directly in the browser ! i compiled the C code into wasm (web assembly) so i can use it inside the browser!
Imported decompressor ! well it was super easy to import the decompressor since it was very similar to the compressor code!
Optimized code for less R*M usage! For a 2.8gb file it was taking 2.8gb of ram but now its taking 42 KB! I was putting the file in the ram but now i stream the file to ram for 99.999% less ram usage!
ITS REALEAAAAASEDD the updated C code is release go check it out here !
ITS DEPLOYED! i added a small status text to know when its compressing/decompressing. you can try it the website here !
Ships:
I made a file compressor/decompressor written in C! You can use it on Linux, Windows, and macOS. The part that took the most time was DEBUGGING . It took SOOOOO much more time than I expected! I’m really proud of finishing the project. I consider this my first full project, so yeah, it took some time, but I finally finished it! You should know that all the information is in the README (installation, description, etc.). It was really fun working on it, but all good things come to an end!
made a website for my C code! It was really challenging to work with the WASM module since it’s limited to 32 bits (4GB RAM), but I managed to make it work! I also optimized the C code to use much less RAM (see the devlog). Sadly the website is limited to 220MB per file (because of WASM), but you can still process large files with the GitHub release! You can test it via the website or the GitHub release!...

Hey guys, so I decided to improve this project. I created another repo, containing both the bot in slack, made in this “session”, and the bot made for discord, made in Flavortown. Along with those two projects, I added a website. So now the repo contains the two bots, and the website. I just built the website, it’s a simple landing page.

The names explain the function. The first oen contains the status of each bots. The second one contains well-written docs, very useful for people who want to host the bot locally.
As you can see, I’m currently working on fixing some minor details, like improving the card. This card is displayed whenever you use the commands play, nowplaying, pause, skip, previous. In this card you can see the song, the album it comes from, who requested to see the card and also the timing.

Spent today hardening VinylBot for production: fixed a crash bug where an unhandled ffmpeg/stream error in the audio player could take down the entire bot for every server at once, added global uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers to both bots, fixed a race condition in the Slack round timer, and cleaned up leaked temp mp3 files on failed downloads.

Devlogs:
I’m building a terminal user interface for Traewelling ( https://traewelling.de/ ) using Ratatui in Rust, with Vim-style keybindings (: for command mode, q to quit, :login for token-based authentication). The basic UI is working well with a header, dashboard body, and mode-specific footer, but still needs polish before the next iteration.
I just finished a big feature in my project! The login now works perfectly, and after successfully logging in, you’ll see your dashboard displaying check-ins from people you follow (plus your own, of course). The dashboard isn’t complete yet - I plan to add status messages and a progress bar showing if someone is currently traveling.
I added symbols for the travelling mode (e.g. suburban, regional rail, tram bus) and you can now also see the status message another one has posted together with the checkin!
I completely redesigned the dashboard! It now looks more like “normal” Traewelling clients and in my opinion much nicer :)
There is now an option to save the api token and auto-login with it! The login prompt also shows now automatically when you’re not logged in, making it easier to get a start :) The token save prompt only shows after a successful use of the token, so you can’t really save a wrong token.
I added a lot documentation and an asciinema video: https://asciinema.org/a/BytB6HM8kpoXtlLC
I added an option to get the token from your clipboard instead of only relying only on pasting, because that pasted every single character and took some time :)
I added a :like command! You can now like checkins using :like <index> , where you can find the index beside the username in the checkin header!
The message is now shown in a popup instead the bottom line, which looks much nicer :)
You can now type :like without arguments and find a popup to select which checkin you want to like!
I fixed the error reported by @pauljako that the login is not working anymore which is likely caused because of recent api changed by traewelling. The travel mode (bus, train …) and the source/license of the checkin are now not always included so I set them to optional. It was really difficult to debug because I couldn’t get serde to show the full problem … but it worked after some tries 🎉 (some licensing things: The background image in my terminal is the KDE Plasma workspace wallpaper “Scarlet tree” made by axo1otl [email protected] and licensed CC-BY-SA 4.0.

I fixed one bug where the travel mode is not added in the enum so I added a default field “Other” to show this instead of crashing the app. I also added a bit more docs where to get the token :)

I made traewelltui, which is a TUI (terminal ui) client for Traewelling, a free public transport checkin service to record your travels and share it with your friends. It was a bit difficult to get into, because I never used Ratatui before.

Pheww you’re gonna love this if you’ve people trying to read your journals 😭 The hardest part was restructuring the whole flow so as to make it less repetitive and cleaner , fixing CLI table alignment glitches, and honestly, if you saw my last ship you’d know that the Swiption feature I made gave me a pretty tough time, Lol. Though I’m really proud of creating a seamless terminal workflow and getting it published live on PyPI as well as GitHub, this is one of the few things I’ve worked on and completed in my life. To test it out, run pip install –upgrade privournal, and type privournal in your terminal, and try encrypting and immediately decrypting a short sentence with or without an account!", "repo": "https://github.com/sermanoire/Privournal", "demo": "https://pypi.org/project/privournal/"}, {"ship_num": 2, "ts": "2026-06-19T01:48:24Z", "hours": 34.0, "multiplier": 17.48, "payout": 480, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "I built Privournal, a command-line journal encryptor that allows users to encrypt and decrypt journal entries locally on their own device. Because for me, someone reading my journal is a legit nightmare, and Privournal is something I can use to keep my digital journals secure. For me that’s a clear quality-of-life improvement : ) Write your journal anywhere (Notes, Notion, etc), paste it into Privournal, get back unreadable text, paste that back into your app. No journal content is ever stored - only the encryption key, and that too locally, if you make an account. To read it yourself you can again head to Privournal and decrypt it! It supports multiple encryption modes, including Basic Encryption, Advanced Encryption, Randomized Encryption, and Swiption - a dynamic encryption system that changes a letter’s cover after a particular number of occurrences, making it impossible to crack. The biggest challenge was implementing Swiption and its decryption logic. Managing occurrence tracking, rotating covers, JSON storage, database integration, and reliable decryption took multiple iterations and a lot of debugging. I also migrated the project from a MySQL-based architecture to SQLite after realizing a shared database conflicted with the goal of being fully offline and private. I’m most proud of turning an idea into a complete, usable package that can be installed through PyPI. I’ve never worked on something so religiously on something of this complexity. The project ended up being over 1400 lines of code and taught me a huge amount about python, databases, GitHub and packaging, debugging, and obviously logical thinking. I’ve never worked on something so religiously on something of this complexity. 3 Major Quality-of-Life Improvements : Zero-setup local encryption - Works completely offline with automatic SQLite database. No server or complicated config needed. Powerful & flexible encryption - Multiple modes + Swiption (dynamic rotating covers) makes it much stronger than simple substitution ciphers. Seamless workflow - Write anywhere -> encrypt -> paste back -> decrypt easily with account or manual key. Perfect for daily journaling : ) Try creating an account (or continue without an account), encrypting a journal entry, saving it, and then decrypting it again. Swiption and Randomised Modes are the most interesting and secure features to experiment with. To test it, run these on terminal : pip install privournal python import MainCode MainCode.start() Thank you so much for reading! : )", "repo": "https://github.com/sermanoire/Privournal", "demo": "https://pypi.org/project/privournal/"}]...

I thought Privournal was finally finished, but while making the final ASCII recording, I found a bunch of small errors (Some was huge), inconsistencies and table issues that I had to fix. What I worked on: Added two new functions: Show Keys and View Account . Show Keys lets users view all their saved encryption keys. View Account displays their account details neatly in a table. Fixed several encryption and decryption bugs , including issues with journal selection, menu choices and input validation. Fixed problems with database values and journal data being handled incorrectly. Improved table formatting, spacing and alignment throughout the program. Cleaned up various small inconsistencies and errors that appeared during full end-to-end testing. Made the new ASCII recording . There was some old test data already stored, which was causing confusing duplicate entries and messing up the tables. After clearing that out, everything worked properly. And finally… The entire thing worked perfectly. 🎉 Most of this Devlog was about fixing the small things rather than adding huge new features, but it made Privournal more consistent and reliable."}, {"post_id": 77302, "ts": "2026-10-06T14:14:50Z", "hours": 6.5342, "text": "Devlog 15! It’s done. Phew. Finally, Privournal is DONE. Complete, everything’s perfect. In this final version I’ve made so many improvements! Instead of using time.sleep() to give pauses/time to copy the details, now the users can copy and paste encrypted text and its key without a time limit, and then they can simply press Enter to move ahead. I also made HUGE changes to the code. Earlier, the code used to run and at multiple steps ask for login/signup, which was fine but it was confusing. Now the first page is for login/signup, then the rest of the code flows smoothly accordingly. This restructuring required writing many parts of the code again and breaking a lot of functions into 2 parts. I also renamed some variables. I also worked on spacing and formatting. Now the user details are printed cleanly in a table. Overall, the code outputs are much more uniform. I made a new ASCII recording. It is yet to be updated on my GitHub, though. I’ve also published this new version on PyPI. If you had already installed Privournal, you can just update it. Now the main thing. I’m going to make a Website for Privournal where users wouldn’t need to install anything and can just go straight to encrypting or decrypting their journals. This version will still exist, though. It’ll be a rather Retro CLI version for people who like it this way. Phew.

So I went back and tested basically the ENTIRE project again. . While testing, I found and fixed a bunch of errors, especially in Advanced Encryption. I also added a lot of fallback checks throughout the code so Privournal doesn’t randomly decide to crash anymore 😭 . I also improved the decryption flow. . Earlier users had to select journals using IDs, now they can simply choose them by name, which feels way cleaner. . Another addition was a user guide in menu. I was short on time and it was a no brainer, so I used Claude to help generate the guide content and then integrated it into Privournal. The goal was simply to make the different encryption modes easier to understand :) . Apart from code changes, I also polished the project page, uploaded a sample flowchart, improved formatting and timing, and recorded a completely new asciinema demo PLUS I updated the README too. . Then came final testing, packaging, uploading the latest release, and requesting review again 🤞🏻 . Hopefully Privournal passes thru this time 😭 .

After two intense days and 16+ hours of grinding, Privournal is officially complete and ready for Stardance! 😭🎉 OH AND Yeah, it’s been two days - Long time no see 😭 . Sorry for disappearing without posting Devlog #13 🥲 . These last 16+ hours were so packed with debugging, packaging, testing, and polishing that I kept postponing the devlog. So this one covers the entire final stretch. . Btw hey I’ll upload the clean Flowchart on Git repo, and yk I was gonna write a LOT here with complete details, but damn there’s a limit. Well it’s oki i’ll add a list of all my devlogs to the repo too :) What Happened? I thought Devlog #12 was the “everything works” moment, but the final stretch turned out to be the work. Audited every function in the codebase Fixed dozens of lingering bugs Cleaned up the entire code Updated the README 10+ times Set up PyPI packaging and releases Recorded asciinema demos (Took enormous time 😭) Added prettier output/interface functions Tested every scenario I could think of Major Change: MySQL → SQLite One of the biggest changes was moving away from MySQL. . Originally, Privournal used MySQL with accounts and a shared database. Later I realized that requires a server, hosting, maintenance, and introduces privacy concerns. . So I redesigned everything around SQLite. . Benefits: Fully offline More private Easier installation Simpler deployment Probably the biggest architectural change in the entire project. Biggest Bugs Fixed Login/signup flow issues Missing database commits Foreign key linking problems JSON serialization/loading bugs The infamous “extra spaces everywhere” decryption bug Variable scope and traversal issues Randomised Mode integration By the end of Day 1, the core encryption/decryption system was finally reliable. The Swiption Demon 😭 Swiption and SwipDe took forever. . The idea sounds simple: letters rotate through multiple covers after a certain number of occurrences. . Actually implementing occurrence tracking, rotation logic, life values, multiple dictionaries, JSON storage, and decryption logic nearly broke my brain 😭 . The funniest part? . After hours of struggling I realized I had overcomplicated everything. Since every cover uniquely maps to a letter, I could simply search through the dictionaries instead of tracking a ton of extra information. LIKE DAMN. Swiption is now fully functional and ended up becoming my coolest feature in the project. Packaging & Shipping Cleaned up the repository Improved README and documentation Fixed PyPI packaging issues Tested in fresh virtual environments Published releases Recorded final demos ✨ Project Complete Privournal is now a real, usable command-line journal encryptor.

FINALLY! After an hour of debugging, EVERYTHING WORKS! -Encryption -Decryption -Uploading to & Fetching from the Database -Sign Up -Login . The only things that aren’t fully working yet are Swiption and Random Mode, and honestly that’s on me 😭. I got way too focused on making everything else work first AND GOD I had to improvise whole sections of the decryption logic, you won’t believe it. . If you compare the code I committed before this and the code I committed today, I had to improvise so much! . I removed and added so much. My old decryption was code wrong, I mean the logic was on point but the syntax and a few other things were off that’s why it wasn’t working. . Some of the errors were genuinely silly, again 😅 . All my elifs somehow had the same condition, and people this is why you don’t copy paste conditions to save time (I still don’t know how I missed that) 🥲 . My traversal i was a string, and I kept accidentally treating it like an int iterator, I mean ugh. . A lot of bugs were literally sitting right in front of my eyes. . Some bugs were much bigger tho. One of the weirdest happened after I finally got decryption working - The decrypted text had way too many spaces between words. . After staring at it for a while, I noticed that the number of spaces was exactly the same as the number of unique letters in the text. That’s when it hit me - the loop was continuing to run even after finding a match. Few “breaks” later hehe, everything worked 😭 . After Swiption and Random Mode, those 2 really aren’t done right now, I’m sorry I type so slow 😭 . Yeah so after that I’ll focus on making the code look real pretty, like -Fixing my silly variable names -Comment notes ig? -Better spacing and formatting -Cleaning up extra files -Writing a proper README and project description . And yes… On the 13th Devlog, the project will be done done 🤞🏻 . Note : I improvised all my previous devlogs, with proper format so that it’s easier to read, you can tell me if it’s better 🙃 .

And this one’s gonna be a disappointing one 🥲 . First of all, I was talking to my brother and he asked such a good question - It pointed to a flaw which I didn’t notice at all. . Let’s say there’s a word “am” in the journal, a’s cover is 1 and m’s cover is 27 (so am = 127). Now cuz there’s not spacing the decryption code will actually traverse thru each of number at a time in the encrypted text (127), so it’ll literally convert 1 and then 2 and then 7 separately. This was such a major flaw in my logic and I’m still agonizing internally over the fact that my eyes missed it. . But ah it’s ok, I’m fixing that by simply making adding a trailing space after the cover to separate each letter’s cover. . There was so much running and errors and staring at screen and all that. . Another thing I noticed is that in Advanced Encryption when the user will choose covers for 52 letters, he might accidentally repeat a cover - which obvi will make it impossible to distinguish btw 2 letters. So I gotta add each cover to a list and then every time the user adds a cover i’ll see if it’s already there in the list or not. . Now these flaws I got to know when I was talking to my brother, and it was past midnight. So almost immediately after waking up I was onto fixing these flaws, and it’s in progress :) . Apart from that, I’ve been refining the code (Found some silly errors in functions) and fixing more logic issues. . Earlier the Encryption Key that I was using to decrypt, it was a dictionary - with the keys as letters and values as the cover. So before uploading them to the db table, I converted them into text. But then while fixing decryption code, I did tried dict(the string key) and later found out that it all doesn’t work like that, the syntax. . I checked online, asked GPT, he suggested that I use the json module, and so I did. Json made it pretty easy, now the conversion was smooth and 2 liner. . Also I fixed all the login/signup system, it works as smooth as butter now Hehe . I’d say the main issue wasn’t the code it was following where am I. . Like cuz there are so many functions and steps and paths that I was getting overwhelmed (plus the code is like 600 lines), so I basically carefully went thru each line of code and arranged each function in an order and side by side made the final flowchart (It made following the code super easy and looks cool tbh) - But yes that’s hectic work right there. . Now after all that… Does the code run? HELL NO IT DOESNT! . It’s still showing 21 errors 😭 Plus, Swiption’s still left. . So right now, I’m trying to fix the flaws and errors and get this code up and running without Swiption, once it is smooth then at the end I can code Swiption into it. .

Reason’s that it just came to me - . Why not make Random Encryption available for both Advanced Encryption AND Swiption too?? . This would make the whole Encryption process super fast if some user doesn’t want to manually encrypt each letter. So I’m onto that, then I’ll immediately look into Swiption. . Then finally I’ll refine the whole code and just go through all the variables, functions and rename them if needed (I’m one of those people who name the variable something silly and forget what it was for 😭) .

Devlogs:
Devlog #1 - The Beginning . Today wasn’t about building features but about getting everything ready. . I finished setting up the Github thing (Took me an hour lol), cleaned things up, and wrote the first version of the README. . It might not seem like much, but damn did it feel so hectic, maybe cuz it’s my first time working on a real software project :) . After the setup, I finally started writing the core code. . Right now it’s just the foundation and an outline that I’ve set out to achieve :) . The journey begins!
Devlog #2 - The First Error and an Outline . Ran into the first error, phewww! . Honestly, had it coming - things were going way too smoothly for a rather newbie like me 😭 . I was working on the account system and trying to get the signup and login flow working when I hit the error. I also created a basic outline of flow (In my mind 😅) . Spent a good chunk of time staring, retracing my code, and trying to figure out what exactly I had written wrong. But yes, I’m on it!
Devlog #3 - The Plan’s Shape Guys! . Errors fixed and a basic outline has been made (This time on a paper Hehe) . AND i’ve thought about how i’m gonna go about it! . I’ve also spent some time thinking about how I’m actually gonna build this thing. . I’ll have to make a sql database ig (For account credentials and encryption details) and link it to my python code. I’m still new so i’m not sure if the sql database method for keeping records is how the real companies operate, but still seems pretty nice. . And I mean these are journals that we’re talking about, - so security and privacy matter a lot. . Tho my whole idea and code is that the actual journal entry is never stored.

For now, the plan pretty clear: Finish the Python main code Get encryption working properly Add database support Convert it into a website Well, that’s it ig. . I’m gonna go and tmrw complete the whole thing in python and then yes - hopefully convert it into a website :)
Devlog #4 - Still on the Db thing . Hehe, my highschool Python-SQL interface notes are coming in handy! . When I was studying this stuff, I honestly didn’t think I’d ever end up using most of it cuz it seemed too basic Turns out I was wrong :) . Since Privournal is gonna need a database for account credentials and all that, I’ve started revising my old notes and figuring out how everything fits together. . Let’s see how this goes!
Devlog #5 - Database Established! . Now the basic outline has to be perfected, with each and every thing being functional. . After spending some time figuring out SQL, databases, connections, and all that stuff, I finally managed to get Python talking to the database successfully :) . Seeing actual records being fetched felt pretty satisfying not gonna lie. For now, the goal’s Add features and make everything functional Connect everything together Improve the overall structure On the way to do that!
Devlog #6 - Advanced Encryption! Pheww, this part took some effort! . Today I worked on the main encryption logic for Advanced Encryption, and after a lot of thinking, coding, testing, and rethinking, I finally got the foundation for it down :) . This is one of the core features of Privournal, so it feels really good seeing it slowly come together. . That said, this is only a small win . The real challenge is gonna be the “Swiption” feature. Bet Swiption is gonna take half my brain cells 😭
Devlog #7 - Almost There! Only the Swiption feature remains! . I’ve also been thinking about adding another cool feature where the covers are randomly chosen using Python’s random module. The idea is that it’ll be added in Custom Encryption. . Also, my bad 😭 . I sometimes refered to the Custom Encryption as Advanced Encrytion, that might confuse you - but i’ll be consistent with names now. It’s just that it’s the start and so many features and ideas just mush into my head 🙃 . Once Swiption is done, the Python version should basically be mostly complete, and then it’ll be time for da next step . Getting all this on a website, tho that is gonna be really difficult for me, I really don’t know how to make websites 🥲. . Not gonna lie, that part scares me a a lot cuz I don’t wanna use AI for the website 😭 . I really don’t know much about web development, but I guess that’s part of building a project. You learn whatever you need as you go. . Thank you so much for reading these devlogs tho :) . Hopefully tmrw the code will be done and I’ll be one step closer to completing Privournal!
Devlog #8 - The Eights. . So this would be Privournal’s 8th devlog, and this one feels kinda special :) . My birthday falls on an 8th too, and I just love the number 8. . Anyways, I was actually supposed to be done with the Swiption feature by now, but I just couldn’t help myself and started working on the Random Encryption feature. . Reason’s that it just came to me - . Why not make Random Encryption available for both Advanced Encryption AND Swiption too?? . This would make the whole Encryption process super fast if some user doesn’t want to manually encrypt each letter. So I’m onto that, then I’ll immediately look into Swiption. . Then finally I’ll refine the whole code and just go through all the variables, functions and rename them if needed (I’m one of those people who name the variable something silly and forget what it was for 😭) . I’ve also started mapping out the overall visual flow of Privournal cuz it was getting a bit confusing. . I’m thinking abt wrapping this project up in about 12 devlogs, and then launching it. . You can also check out the GitHub - I’ve been committing code changes on it regularly :) . Thanks for reading!
Devlog #9 - This was unexpected… Turns out there were some issues in the decryption function. It completely ignored spaces while decrypting, which definitely wasn’t ideal 😭 . I’ve fixed that tho. . Also I remade the tables in database with much more info such as date of encryption and email (for forgot password purposes) . And this code was getting too long, like more than 400 lines long. . So, I’ve started splitting things into different files to keep everything organized. Db code has its own file, big functions like AdvEn() have their own file, and the same goes for Swiption and Random Encryption logic. . Target’s to finish the code tonight. . Thanks for reading!
Devlog #10 - A Slight Setback This is going to be the biggest devlog. And this one’s gonna be a disappointing one 🥲 . First of all, I was talking to my brother and he asked such a good question - It pointed to a flaw which I didn’t notice at all. . Let’s say there’s a word “am” in the journal, a’s cover is 1 and m’s cover is 27 (so am = 127). Now cuz there’s not spacing the decryption code will actually traverse thru each of number at a time in the encrypted text (127), so it’ll literally convert 1 and then 2 and then 7 separately. This was such a major flaw in my logic and I’m still agonizing internally over the fact that my eyes missed it. . But ah it’s ok, I’m fixing that by simply making adding a trailing space after the cover to separate each letter’s cover. . There was so much running and errors and staring at screen and all that. . Another thing I noticed is that in Advanced Encryption when the user will choose covers for 52 letters, he might accidentally repeat a cover - which obvi will make it impossible to distinguish btw 2 letters. So I gotta add each cover to a list and then every time the user adds a cover i’ll see if it’s already there in the list or not. . Now these flaws I got to know when I was talking to my brother, and it was past midnight. So almost immediately after waking up I was onto fixing these flaws, and it’s in progress :) . Apart from that, I’ve been refining the code (Found some silly errors in functions) and fixing more logic issues. . Earlier the Encryption Key that I was using to decrypt, it was a dictionary - with the keys as letters and values as the cover. So before uploading them to the db table, I converted them into text. But then while fixing decryption code, I did tried dict(the string key) and later found out that it all doesn’t work like that, the syntax. . I checked online, asked GPT, he suggested that I use the json module, and so I did. Json made it pretty easy, now the conversion was smooth and 2 liner. . Also I fixed all the login/signup system, it works as smooth as butter now Hehe . I’d say the main issue wasn’t the code it was following where am I. . Like cuz there are so many functions and steps and paths that I was getting overwhelmed (plus the code is like 600 lines), so I basically carefully went thru each line of code and arranged each function in an order and side by side made the final flowchart (It made following the code super easy and looks cool tbh) - But yes that’s hectic work right there. . Now after all that… Does the code run? HELL NO IT DOESNT! . It’s still showing 21 errors 😭 Plus, Swiption’s still left. . So right now, I’m trying to fix the flaws and errors and get this code up and running without Swiption, once it is smooth then at the end I can code Swiption into it. . See ya in the next devlog!
Devlog #11 - First Successful Test! Let’s go!!! . First successful test done 😇 . The database fetching works, the encryption flow works - it wasn’t working earlier tho (And I spent an hour finding errors, like i’d run it again n again and also ended up rewriting portions, like my Advanced Encyption code was all messed up 😭) . But yes, now it’s working, i’m sure there are a couple more errors but i’m on my way to fix em! . And yk some of the errors were so silly - I had written input(“Enter cover for”,x), and damn i failed to realise what the issue was. . Then after a lot of trying I asked GPT and it said it’s cuz input() can only have one argument in the braces 😅 . A lot of other errors too were like me getting all confused btw variable names, function not being global and so on. . But yeah, one at a time i fixed em, fixed the code and now only the refining of the code and some other bugs remain. . And um I had said i’d do it in 10 devlogs, but ah now it looks like 12th would be the last one. . But hey, the more the better, ig? 😭 . See ya in the next devlog!
Devlog #12 - IT WORKS! FINALLY! After an hour of debugging, EVERYTHING WORKS! -Encryption -Decryption -Uploading to & Fetching from the Database -Sign Up -Login . The only things that aren’t fully working yet are Swiption and Random Mode, and honestly that’s on me 😭. I got way too focused on making everything else work first AND GOD I had to improvise whole sections of the decryption logic, you won’t believe it. . If you compare the code I committed before this and the code I committed today, I had to improvise so much! . I removed and added so much. My old decryption was code wrong, I mean the logic was on point but the syntax and a few other things were off that’s why it wasn’t working. . Some of the errors were genuinely silly, again 😅 . All my elifs somehow had the same condition, and people this is why you don’t copy paste conditions to save time (I still don’t know how I missed that) 🥲 . My traversal i was a string, and I kept accidentally treating it like an int iterator, I mean ugh. . A lot of bugs were literally sitting right in front of my eyes. . Some bugs were much bigger tho. One of the weirdest happened after I finally got decryption working - The decrypted text had way too many spaces between words. . After staring at it for a while, I noticed that the number of spaces was exactly the same as the number of unique letters in the text. That’s when it hit me - the loop was continuing to run even after finding a match. Few “breaks” later hehe, everything worked 😭 . After Swiption and Random Mode, those 2 really aren’t done right now, I’m sorry I type so slow 😭 . Yeah so after that I’ll focus on making the code look real pretty, like -Fixing my silly variable names -Comment notes ig? -Better spacing and formatting -Cleaning up extra files -Writing a proper README and project description . And yes… On the 13th Devlog, the project will be done done 🤞🏻 . Note : I improvised all my previous devlogs, with proper format so that it’s easier to read, you can tell me if it’s better 🙃 . See you in the next one!
Devlog #13 - IT’S DONE DONE! The Final Chapter. FINALLY. After two intense days and 16+ hours of grinding, Privournal is officially complete and ready for Stardance! 😭🎉 OH AND Yeah, it’s been two days - Long time no see 😭 . Sorry for disappearing without posting Devlog #13 🥲 . These last 16+ hours were so packed with debugging, packaging, testing, and polishing that I kept postponing the devlog. So this one covers the entire final stretch. . Btw hey I’ll upload the clean Flowchart on Git repo, and yk I was gonna write a LOT here with complete details, but damn there’s a limit. Well it’s oki i’ll add a list of all my devlogs to the repo too :) What Happened? I thought Devlog #12 was the “everything works” moment, but the final stretch turned out to be the work. Audited every function in the codebase Fixed dozens of lingering bugs Cleaned up the entire code Updated the README 10+ times Set up PyPI packaging and releases Recorded asciinema demos (Took enormous time 😭) Added prettier output/interface functions Tested every scenario I could think of Major Change: MySQL → SQLite One of the biggest changes was moving away from MySQL. . Originally, Privournal used MySQL with accounts and a shared database. Later I realized that requires a server, hosting, maintenance, and introduces privacy concerns. . So I redesigned everything around SQLite. . Benefits: Fully offline More private Easier installation Simpler deployment Probably the biggest architectural change in the entire project. Biggest Bugs Fixed Login/signup flow issues Missing database commits Foreign key linking problems JSON serialization/loading bugs The infamous “extra spaces everywhere” decryption bug Variable scope and traversal issues Randomised Mode integration By the end of Day 1, the core encryption/decryption system was finally reliable. The Swiption Demon 😭 Swiption and SwipDe took forever. . The idea sounds simple: letters rotate through multiple covers after a certain number of occurrences. . Actually implementing occurrence tracking, rotation logic, life values, multiple dictionaries, JSON storage, and decryption logic nearly broke my brain 😭 . The funniest part? . After hours of struggling I realized I had overcomplicated everything. Since every cover uniquely maps to a letter, I could simply search through the dictionaries instead of tracking a ton of extra information. LIKE DAMN. Swiption is now fully functional and ended up becoming my coolest feature in the project. Packaging & Shipping Cleaned up the repository Improved README and documentation Fixed PyPI packaging issues Tested in fresh virtual environments Published releases Recorded final demos ✨ Project Complete Privournal is now a real, usable command-line journal encryptor. Thanks to: My brother for catching early logic flaws GPT for quick syntax rescues Everyone who followed the devlogs And myself for not giving up 😭 **Privournal is shipped and ready for Stardance! ** I’d love your feedback once you try it. . This project taught me something exams never did : . Working religiously on something with all your heart to make it real. . Thank you for reading all 13 devlogs ❤️ . ✨ See you in the next project ✨ | Project Complete | Ready to Submit | 🎉
##Devlog #14 - The Reviewer Arc 🥲 . Well… . The reviewer found some issues 😭 . So I went back and tested basically the ENTIRE project again. . While testing, I found and fixed a bunch of errors, especially in Advanced Encryption. I also added a lot of fallback checks throughout the code so Privournal doesn’t randomly decide to crash anymore 😭 . I also improved the decryption flow. . Earlier users had to select journals using IDs, now they can simply choose them by name, which feels way cleaner. . Another addition was a user guide in menu. I was short on time and it was a no brainer, so I used Claude to help generate the guide content and then integrated it into Privournal. The goal was simply to make the different encryption modes easier to understand :) . Apart from code changes, I also polished the project page, uploaded a sample flowchart, improved formatting and timing, and recorded a completely new asciinema demo PLUS I updated the README too. . Then came final testing, packaging, uploading the latest release, and requesting review again 🤞🏻 . Hopefully Privournal passes thru this time 😭 . Thank you : )
Devlog 15! It’s done. Phew. Finally, Privournal is DONE. Complete, everything’s perfect. In this final version I’ve made so many improvements! Instead of using time.sleep() to give pauses/time to copy the details, now the users can copy and paste encrypted text and its key without a time limit, and then they can simply press Enter to move ahead. I also made HUGE changes to the code. Earlier, the code used to run and at multiple steps ask for login/signup, which was fine but it was confusing. Now the first page is for login/signup, then the rest of the code flows smoothly accordingly. This restructuring required writing many parts of the code again and breaking a lot of functions into 2 parts. I also renamed some variables. I also worked on spacing and formatting. Now the user details are printed cleanly in a table. Overall, the code outputs are much more uniform. I made a new ASCII recording. It is yet to be updated on my GitHub, though. I’ve also published this new version on PyPI. If you had already installed Privournal, you can just update it. Now the main thing. I’m going to make a Website for Privournal where users wouldn’t need to install anything and can just go straight to encrypting or decrypting their journals. This version will still exist, though. It’ll be a rather Retro CLI version for people who like it this way. Phew. I’ll work on that now.
Devlog 16! — Okay, NOW It’s Done. 😭 Phew. I thought Privournal was finally finished, but while making the final ASCII recording, I found a bunch of small errors (Some was huge), inconsistencies and table issues that I had to fix. What I worked on: Added two new functions: Show Keys and View Account . Show Keys lets users view all their saved encryption keys. View Account displays their account details neatly in a table. Fixed several encryption and decryption bugs , including issues with journal selection, menu choices and input validation. Fixed problems with database values and journal data being handled incorrectly. Improved table formatting, spacing and alignment throughout the program. Cleaned up various small inconsistencies and errors that appeared during full end-to-end testing. Made the new ASCII recording . There was some old test data already stored, which was causing confusing duplicate entries and messing up the tables. After clearing that out, everything worked properly. And finally… The entire thing worked perfectly. 🎉 Most of this Devlog was about fixing the small things rather than adding huge new features, but it made Privournal more consistent and reliable.
Ships:
I built Privournal, a command-line journal encryptor that allows users to encrypt and decrypt journal entries locally on their own device. Because for me, someone reading my journal is a legit nightmare, and Privournal is something I can use to keep my digital journals secure. For me that’s a clear quality-of-life improvement : ) Write your journal anywhere (Notes, Notion, etc), paste it into Privournal, get back unreadable text, paste that back into your app. No journal content is ever stored - only the encryption key, and that too locally, if you make an account. To read it yourself you can again head to Privournal and decrypt it! It supports multiple encryption modes, including Basic Encryption, Advanced Encryption, Randomized Encryption, and Swiption - a dynamic encryption system that changes a letter’s cover after a particular number of occurrences, making it impossible to crack. The biggest challenge was implementing Swiption and its decryption logic. Managing occurrence tracking, rotating covers, JSON storage, database integration, and reliable decryption took multiple iterations and a lot of debugging. I also migrated the project from a MySQL-based architecture to SQLite after realizing a shared database conflicted with the goal of being fully offline and private. I’m most proud of turning an idea into a complete, usable package that can be installed through PyPI. I’ve never worked on something so religiously on something of this complexity. The project ended up being over 1400 lines of code and taught me a huge amount about python, databases, GitHub and packaging, debugging, and obviously logical thinking. I’ve never worked on something so religiously on something of this complexity. 3 Major Quality-of-Life Improvements : Zero-setup local encryption - Works completely offline with automatic SQLite database. No server or complicated config needed. Powerful & flexible encryption - Multiple modes + Swiption (dynamic rotating covers) makes it much stronger than simple substitution ciphers. Seamless workflow - Write anywhere -> encrypt -> paste back -> decrypt easily with account or manual key. Perfect for daily journaling : ) Try creating an account (or continue without an account), encrypting a journal entry, saving it, and then decrypting it again. Swiption and Randomised Modes are the most interesting and secure features to experiment with. To test it, run these on terminal : pip install privournal python import MainCode MainCode.start() Thank you so much for reading! : )
I made Privournal, a retro CLI application for private journaling and custom text encryption featuring basic ciphers, advanced encryption (Swiption, Randomised, Manual Modes Hehe), and new features like Show Keys and View Account. Pheww you’re gonna love this if you’ve people trying to read your journals 😭 The hardest part was restructuring the whole flow so as to make it less repetitive and cleaner , fixing CLI table alignment glitches, and honestly, if you saw my last ship you’d know that the Swiption feature I made gave me a pretty tough time, Lol. Though I’m really proud of creating a seamless terminal workflow and getting it published live on PyPI as well as GitHub, this is one of the few things I’ve worked on and completed in my life. To test it out, run pip install –upgrade privournal, and type privournal in your terminal, and try encrypting and immediately decrypting a short sentence with or without an account!...

I solved this by engineering a custom caching pipeline utilizing NumPy’s mmap_mode to read data directly from the disk which completely eliminated RAM bloat. What I’m proud of: Proving the fact that AI doesn’t have to be an uninterpretable “Black Box.” I’m proud of how the dashboard visually translates complex neural network weights into actionable, physical mechanical insights (e.g. isolating thermal stress vs. rotational wear) and calculates the exact financial ROI of those predictions. How to test it: Simply click “Try project”-no installation required!

I’m currently building AeroGlass XAI, a web-based command center for jet engine maintenance. While I have a robust backend foundation using the NASA CMAPSS FD004 dataset, my focus for this hackathon is the “Glass Box” transition. I am taking pre-computed BiLSTM predictions and SHAP arrays and wrapping them into a production-ready Streamlit architecture. I have just finalized a scalable, multi-file directory structure to ensure this isn’t just a script, but an enterprise-grade application. I’ve also implemented the native dark-mode aerospace aesthetic in the configuration. My aim is to turn static math into a “Live Telemetry” simulator and an interactive XAI audit tool where users can drill down into thermodynamic sensor impacts in real-time.
The core engine of AeroGlass XAI is now fully operational. The goal of this project wasn’t just to predict jet engine failure but to force the neural network to explain its reasoning to human engineers. Over the last couple of hours, I successfully wired the backend prediction arrays into a dynamic, cycle by cycle Explainable AI (XAI) interface using Streamlit and Matplotlib. The Breakthrough: I caught the BiLSTM doing something fascinating while I was building the visualizer. Near the end of an engine’s life, the model was aggressively penalizing the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) based on Core Speed (S9) but simultaneously extending it based on HPC Static Pressure (S11). Because speed and pressure are physically correlated (Multicollinearity), the AI was mathematically ‘balancing’ its weights. By wrapping the SHAP values in a color-coded UI (Red for Core Thermodynamic, Blue for Mechanical), the dashboard immediately exposed this AI logic flaw to the human eye. This is exactly why safety critical aerospace requires ‘Glass Box’ interpretability.
The core ML architecture is done, so my final focus was transforming AeroGlass XAI into a production-ready enterprise tool. The ‘GO / NO-GO’ Pre-Flight Briefing: I built a new operational dashboard that allows dispatchers to select the specific port and starboard engines mounted to an airframe. The app runs a real-time check against the Attention BiLSTM. If the RUL dips below the 30-cycle threshold, the UI triggers a dynamic HTML/CSS ‘NO-GO’ lockdown, pulling the top 3 thermodynamic stressors from the SHAP array to justify the grounding to the mechanics. Financial Interactivity (The ROI Sandbox): Predictive maintenance is only useful if it saves money. I upgraded the Operational ROI Calculator with a dynamic slider that simulates the ‘AI False Negative Rate.’ This stress-tests the financial model in real-time. If you push the AI’s error rate too high, the dynamic metrics instantly flip from Cyan (‘Millions Saved’) to Red (‘Millions Lost’) The finish line is near the corner. It will be ready to ship soon!!!
I spent this session getting AeroGlass XAI completely ready. I successfully deployed the dashboard to Streamlit Community Cloud and handled some caching optimizations for the heavy SHAP tensors using mmap_mode. The project is officially live!
Migrated AeroGlass XAI to a Dedicated Server (Hack Club Nest) The Nest server uses an aggressive reverse proxy that is currently rate-limiting some of the dynamic JavaScript chunks required to render the heavy Plotly/SHAP visualizations.
Ships:
What I made: I made AeroGlass XAI which is an enterprise-grade predictive maintenance dashboard that forecasts aerospace engine failures using a custom Temporal Attention BiLSTM and Explainable AI (SHAP). The biggest challenge: Well, the biggest challenge to me was the streaming heavy, multi-dimensional tensor arrays in real-time without crashing Streamlit’s lightweight free-tier servers. I solved this by engineering a custom caching pipeline utilizing NumPy’s mmap_mode to read data directly from the disk which completely eliminated RAM bloat. What I’m proud of: Proving the fact that AI doesn’t have to be an uninterpretable “Black Box.” I’m proud of how the dashboard visually translates complex neural network weights into actionable, physical mechanical insights (e.g. isolating thermal stress vs. rotational wear) and calculates the exact financial ROI of those predictions. How to test it: Simply click “Try project”-no installation required! Use the sidebar to navigate to the Live Telemetry Simulator to watch the models race in real time or check out the Operational ROI Calculator. (Note: If the Streamlit server has been inactive, it may take ~30 seconds to wake up).
AeroGlass XAI is a predictive maintenance and Explainable AI (XAI) dashboard built for the aerospace industry, analyzing turbofan engine degradation. At its core, the project utilizes a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) neural network trained on the NASA CMAPSS dataset to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of active engines. To ensure the model’s decisions are transparent for aviation technicians, the system integrates Temporal Attention mechanisms and Sensor-Level SHAP values to highlight exactly which telemetry sensors are driving the degradation predictions. Deployment Note for Shipwrights: The application is hosted on a dedicated Hack Club Nest Linux container to ensure instant, 24/7 uptime. While the core AI logic, data loading, and metric calculations (like the active fleet and critical engine counts) are processing perfectly, the Nest reverse proxy is currently blocking the dynamic JS imports for some of the heavier Plotly graphics. The structural AI implementation is fully functional under the hood!...

While this one can’t be shown yet (or heard… there’s nothing!), I’m heavily working on emulating (I think we could put it like that?) the Xbox One’s ACP (Audio Co-Processor), which is used for decoding XMA (Xbox Media Audio) and processing audio in general (heavily used by FMOD and Wwise). While some games don’t depend on it specifically (such as Minecraft, LIMBO, Sonic Mania etc), the majority of the games depend on it (Unity, Unreal Engine and Cryengine use it), and if you don’t emulate it, most of the games will basically either hang at some point waiting for audio to be processed (e.g. Forza, Happy Wars, Halo 5) and won’t have audio at all. This is the part I’m focusing the most currently and I’m very stomped on it, which is also why there isn’t much progress going on, but hopefully I get some progress with it to share with y’all! That’s it for today, I really hope to have new stuff to share with everyone soon! But for now, that’s pretty much it… 😭
Hi! I’m back with some stuff: Happy Dungeons (an console exclusive game) now boots with WinDurango! I’m working very hard at the moment on Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 5 (which are my goals…) and I hope to have new stuff to share about them soon! And… That’s it for today, there isn’t anything else to say 😭
Hey! Has been quite a while since the last devlog but here are some changes and news: Halo 5: Guardians is very close to booting! It still just needs some fixes with memory allocation. FIFA 15 is another game close to booting! Occultic;Nine now boots! Overall, I’m still doing some work that I will hopefully be able to share better in the next few days :)
Hey there! Little update: Destiny now boots!
Hey! Small update: The Crew boots!
Another quick update: Peggle 2 is now playable!
Another quick update: Forza Horizon 3 now boots! (Might require DXVK!)
Great news: Forza Horizon 2 finally gets to the title screen!
Great news: Thanks to RSantila, audio is now in the works for Forza and other games that use the ACP! (games that use Wwise or FMOD for example) For example, here’s Forza Horizon 2 with music in the background (there’s no audio at all without ACP processing, it’s also kinda glitchy because it’s being processed and decoded)
Quick update: Progress on audio with Forza Horizon 2! It now stutters way less. (Broken textures because I’m still debugging some stuff!)
Ships:
Hey there! This is WinDurango, an Xbox One translation layer (you can call it a high level emulator too if you want…) for Windows 10/11. Currently, support for games such as Forza Horizon 2, Forza Motorsport 5, Halo 5 and others is being actively worked on, while some few others like Minecraft: Xbox One Edition (older versions), Sonic Mania and LIMBO are fully playable! Note that I’m not the only developer in this project (I work on rendering/audio mostly and WinRT a few times), as @dexrn (works mostly on the GitHub/Social Media management part) and @CT5 (works mostly on the WinRT part). (screenshot from Forza Motorsport 5 with WinDurango in ForzaVista mode, showing the car interior).
During the meanwhile, I’ve been working with mostly audio and support for other games....

This is like a Slack Bot that will help you know where the ISS is, and also how Mars’ weather is. It still is in progress.
I am now adding the feature where we can see the weather on Mars.
Finally finished, go to Slack now to test it out. the commands are /mars, /apod, and /iss!
Fixed up a few problems like the README. And make sure not to use it all channels. Only use it DMs to yourself or in the bot-spam.
Made it so it doesn’t have any more errors or not too much loading time with nest

Started by diagnosing and fixing the messages system - the Contact form was saving messages to localStorage, but they weren’t displaying in the Messages app due to a DOM timing issue. Wrapped the contact handler in setTimeout to ensure proper initialization, and implemented a dynamic renderMessages() function that rebuilds the DOM on demand. Tested the full flow end-to-end: Contact form → localStorage → Messages app, confirming persistence and deletion both work. Next tackled calculator button overflow - buttons were massively oversized and breaking the window layout. Reduced padding from 10px to 6px, gap from 6px to 4px, and display font-size from 2em to 1.5em while adding min-width constraints. Buttons now fit perfectly within the window. Compacted the Projects app since it was taking up unnecessary vertical space - reduced font sizes, cut spacing between projects, and shortened descriptions so all five projects display without scrolling. Updated the README following professional shipping guidelines: punchy one-liner, prominent demo link, six specific features, technical depth explaining architecture, quick start in three lines, browser support, and creator info. No boilerplate or template text. Completely rewrote portfolio content across all apps (About, Projects, Portfolio) with real information: full bio, three-skill categories (technical, business, leadership), detailed project descriptions with achievements, and actual work experience. Discovered and fixed the most critical bug: window positioning logic was placing new windows off-screen or stacked too far right. Changed from 3-column to 2-column grid with viewport bounds checking, ensuring all apps stay visible.

Built the SerenityUX Web-based OS project: Part 1: Welcome screen with animations Parts 2-3: Desktop with draggable windows Currently working on Part 4: Creating apps
Fixed critical bugs preventing windows from displaying on the OS desktop - the issue was the container wasn’t filling the viewport properly. Updated CSS to set 100vw × 100vh with fixed positioning, which immediately resolved the problem. Also implemented smart window positioning using a grid algorithm to prevent overlap, and added auto-opening About & Projects windows on startup so the desktop doesn’t look empty. Tested all functionality and deployed. 50 minutes of focused debugging and UX improvements.
This session focused on crushing the last critical bugs that were holding back the messaging system and refining the overall UI. The main issue was that messages sent from the Contact form weren’t appearing in the Messages app - after investigation, we discovered a DOM timing issue where event listeners were being attached before elements were ready. We fixed this by wrapping the contact form handler in a setTimeout, ensuring proper initialization and allowing messages to persist reliably in localStorage and render dynamically with full delete functionality. Alongside this, we tackled the calculator button overflow problem that was making the app unusable on smaller screens. The buttons were massively oversized, so we reduced padding from 10px to 6px, gap from 6px to 4px, and display font-size from 2em to 1.5em while adding min-width constraints to prevent flex expansion. Finally, we compacted the Projects window since its content was taking up too much vertical space - we reduced overall font sizes, cut spacing from 16px to 10px between items, and shortened descriptions so all five projects now display without any scrolling needed. Everything is now working smoothly: the message system is bulletproof, calculator buttons fit perfectly, and all windows are properly optimized. The bundle remains under 50KB, localStorage operations are instant, and the entire OS feels polished and professional. We’ve got all eight apps functioning, draggable/resizable windows with proper layering, persistent data storage, a real-time system clock, and smooth animations throughout—SerenityOS is now feature-complete and ready for use.
This session focused on polishing SerenityOS for production launch and fixing critical bugs that were blocking user-facing features. Started by diagnosing and fixing the messages system - the Contact form was saving messages to localStorage, but they weren’t displaying in the Messages app due to a DOM timing issue. Wrapped the contact handler in setTimeout to ensure proper initialization, and implemented a dynamic renderMessages() function that rebuilds the DOM on demand. Tested the full flow end-to-end: Contact form → localStorage → Messages app, confirming persistence and deletion both work. Next tackled calculator button overflow - buttons were massively oversized and breaking the window layout. Reduced padding from 10px to 6px, gap from 6px to 4px, and display font-size from 2em to 1.5em while adding min-width constraints. Buttons now fit perfectly within the window. Compacted the Projects app since it was taking up unnecessary vertical space - reduced font sizes, cut spacing between projects, and shortened descriptions so all five projects display without scrolling. Updated the README following professional shipping guidelines: punchy one-liner, prominent demo link, six specific features, technical depth explaining architecture, quick start in three lines, browser support, and creator info. No boilerplate or template text. Completely rewrote portfolio content across all apps (About, Projects, Portfolio) with real information: full bio, three-skill categories (technical, business, leadership), detailed project descriptions with achievements, and actual work experience. Discovered and fixed the most critical bug: window positioning logic was placing new windows off-screen or stacked too far right. Changed from 3-column to 2-column grid with viewport bounds checking, ensuring all apps stay visible. Tested all four previously-missing apps (To-Do, Calculator, Timer, Messages) - they now open and display correctly. Updated README screenshot reference, committed everything, and pushed to production. All 9 apps verified working, <50KB bundle maintained, 90+ Lighthouse score confirmed. SerenityOS is now feature-complete and deployment-ready.
been improving serenityos lately and honestly it’s in a way better place now. gave the whole thing a fresh look, clean type, calm colors, feels like one cohesive product from the landing all the way into the desktop. also shipped 3 new features: a browser you can actually surf in, a paint app for doodling (save as png too), and a new animated ui with word-by-word reveals and buttons that drift toward your cursor. cleaned up a bunch of old jank along the way. more soon :)
Ships:
SerenityOS is a fully functional web-based operating system with 9 interactive draggable windows (About, Projects, Portfolio, Contact, Notes, To-Do, Calculator, Timer, Messages) built entirely with vanilla JavaScript, zero dependencies, and achieving 90+ Lighthouse with <50KB bundle size. Building it required solving complex event propagation issues with button reliability, window positioning algorithms to prevent off-screen placement, and localStorage timing with the messages system—all demanding deep understanding of DOM lifecycle and JavaScript async behavior. I’m proud of proving you don’t need frameworks to build ambitious, polished applications while maintaining excellent performance and design. To test: visit https://serenityux.vercel.app , enter your name, launch, then try sending a message through Contact to see it appear in Messages app, add tasks to To-Do that persist on refresh, use the Calculator and Timer, drag windows around, and check your portfolio content. Everything works instantly with no installation required.
so i built serenityos, a little web-based operating system that runs right in your browser. it’s got a desktop, draggable windows, a dock, and a bunch of mini apps — all vanilla html/css/js, no frameworks, no build step. for this mission i added 3 new features: browser — a mini web browser inside the os. type a url, hit go, it loads in a window. paint — a canvas you can actually draw on. pick a color, change the brush size, and save your doodle as a png. new animated ui — gave the whole thing a fresh look with real motion: headings that reveal word-by-word as you scroll and buttons that drift toward your cursor. what was challenging: doing the animations in plain javascript was the tricky part — no framer motion or gsap, so i had to hand-roll the word-by-word reveals with intersection observers and the magnetic buttons with pointer math. getting the paint canvas to map mouse coords correctly when the window resizes also took a few tries. what i’m proud of: how cohesive it all feels now — the landing page, the docs, and the desktop all look like one product. and the fact that it’s 100% vanilla js but still feels smooth and alive. how to test it: head to serenityux.vercel.app → hit launch os → then click around the dock. open browser and load a site, open paint and draw something, or mess with the calculator, notes, and timer. everything saves locally so your notes stick around when you come back....

JavaFX JavaFX was interesting, and I’m not too sure how I want to feel about it. I’ve not much to say about this part.

Part 14 The first Part of Part 14 was an extension of JavaFX, where I learnt how to draw charts using JavaFX. Overall, not a too hard topic. One small funny error I spent a bit of time on was on the second exercise, where after an egregious amount of time writing code, my chart showed up.

Swapping textures i finally, after like 5h managed to swap between bare bones & faithful x64 yipee I think imma ship the project now you can download from the releases page B1 switches to bare bones B2 switches to faithful there are some minor bugs i need to iron out but for now, i think a first ship is due took way too long to get here but oh well now i gotta figure out that individual texture thing
I spent a while learning Java nio and managed to get the names of all the texture packs and the textures inside of them i also created doogile.zip (as requested by my friend), that will serve as the main way to select individual textures just a simple devlog to catch you guys up to what i’ve been doing
basic texture swapping After actl not too much pain, I got basic texture swapping done. I created a helper class to handle all my texture swapping logic, and it works quite neatly. I do hate File I/O in any programming language, but my mod kind of revolves around FIle I/O, and honestly, even though I got some super unhelpful error messages (I got empty error messages), I somehow managed to pull through Some things I have yet to work on: fix ui to allow all installed packs (currently for testing I just use Motchsens better leaves, since it’s a small pack) allow not just textures but also block models to be hotswapped pray modrinth reviews my project so i can ship it ✌️
dropdown list works >< last time i did this, it took me 30h also what do you think of my highlight, instead of just making the blue border brighter and whiter, i decided to make it redder, to stand out, does it look good? as you can see, there is an error with the dropdown list, as when i pressed the last option, it didnt register (closer to the end of the video) because the button behind it, b9 was getting clicked instead I doub’t this will be a problem (at least for current me), since i dont think the dropdown lists should be ontop of smth else, hopefully but oh well, when it comes to that ill figure it out edit: argh i just realised i haven’t finished scrolling behaviour i’ll get to work on that now my previous ship is still not verified bcos modrinth still havent reviewed my mod (it’s been 3 weeks) ( ˘︹˘ ) so i submitted it to curseforge I’ll update my mod with the newest features and then reship
More file shenanigans! I managed to persist the saved options to the config file, and changed the buttons to dropdowns Some ui stuff still needs fixing but it’s gone relatively alright My ship is still in the process of getting verified, but my project shld be shipped soon!
Almost ready for second ship! The UI is terrible, but I think for now it works. There are still a few bugs with the UI I plan to fix later. The main part of this devlog is that, i changed the layout of the dropdowns, and I created a menu to show the currently selected texture, so it’s easier to see what you’re changing from and to. I fixed some minor bugs with the dropdownlist, and overall, I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Some reviewers didn’t fully understand my mod, so I’ll put some actually better usage instructions in the ship message. Some guy also said my project was completely AI :/ (it’s not), but i accidentally clicked accept payout instead of flagging the review, while going to the bad review. Oh well. I do wan’t to mention that I did use AI for guidance, but it did not code my mod for me. That’s about it After my second ship, I doubt I can continue developing my mod, because my finals are in like 2 days (and i’m doing anything but studying for it, so hope you enjoy my mod, as it is now! ✌️
Ships:
Does some simple texture swapping. I’m getting into individual textures now. Learning Java definitely took a lot of the time, but I’m happy I got something working.
I have a whole bunch of resource packs installed, and managing all of them was a pain. So I decided, why not make a mod to help me do that? To test my mod: Ensure you have some resourcepacks installed, and they should contain custom textures for leaves (I recommend Faithful, Barebones and Motschen’s better leaves). After which, get into a minecraft world, and possibly place some leaves in front of you. Then go into the resourcepacks settings and change the textures. Each dropdown controls a specific leaf texture, as you can see via the texture renderer on top. If you have more than two resourcepacks, the last one may be hidden by the texture renderer, so you can just click through the texture renderer to activate it. Have fun customising textures, I plan to add more functionality soon! :) ✌️...

It has multiple applications, with closable, draggable windows with a z-index. There are roughly twelve applications in total, not counting the ones on the top bar. While I would love to ramble about all my applications, here are the ones I’m most proud of! In-Filter-Traitor: An application that filters your photos to either black and white, or a two-toned image that you can choose the shadows and highlights of! Ever felt your photos could benefit from a few more Gotham vibes? Never? Well, that’s disappointing. POST-IT: A virtual sticky note! I really love it mostly due to the design that may or may not have been a direct rip-off from the app in windows. It’s silly, but I’m happy that I managed to recreate it. Terminal: It lets you control the OS by practicing the ancient art of typing orange runes into a dark void. If you don’t know what to type, the void will inform you. Easter Egg! It just occurred to me that I may be overhyping this. Anyway, this is how it works- on the last slide of the sidebar there is an app called Comms. You will not be able to access it without a password. The password is hidden somewhere within the OS. There’s a window called Developer Logs that might tell you what Comms does, but not the password. If you’re short of time, or not up for a treasure hunt, the password is in my README with a spoiler warning! Also tell me if my hiding place was too obvious lol. Feeling Lost? Something not working? Please go through the README, I do think it covers most of the quirks you might encounter. Any application that’s un-intuitive has ⓘ. If you’re confused, click on it! If its anything that isn’t covered between the two, tell me! I’ll make sure to fix it up. What I’m proud of This took me so much time to make. I’m really proud that I managed to do this regularly between school, classes and competitions. I’m really bad at time management so this is a huge win for me! I’m also really proud of the fact that I’m able to debug stuff myself now a bit more. Before I needed to constantly google why my console was showing up an error, and how to fix it. Now I can somewhat understand why my code glitched, and the steps I can take to remedy it. I had so much fun making this, and now I’m going to be slightly lost now lol. But anyway, I put a lot of heart into this project, and I really hope that its visible!

It has a hand-drawn background with a unique color palette inspired from cyberpunk and old CRT monitors. #Applications -Archive of Words: An application that introduces you to the most obscure words English has to offer. Have you ever wanted to win a crossword by knowing an eight letter word for theft? Well, here’s your chance! -Painterly: A standard painting application with a small twist- a pure black canvas and colors catered specifically for contrast without looking overwhelming. It also features a brush size changer, undo and redo buttons -Calculator: Your standard run-of-the-mill application for basic arithmetic computations -Display Settings: Distinct display settings meant to mimic the look of an old school CRT monitor. They can also be turned off, if they are not to the users’ liking. -Desktop Companion: An animated pixel sprite at the bottom right that keeps you company as you go about your work. _ I honestly found that learning code while actively creating a project was so much more enjoyable. I ran into so many hurdles, especially with the js code, from formatting to naming mishaps. I did learn more from making those mistakes than just knowing about them. I did want to create a few more interesting applications, but I need to learn a bit more before trying them. Keep an eye out! I’m incredibly proud of how this turned out.

With context to my last post about practicing DRY, I decided to parse through my code to see how much I could cut down. There was so much! I was under-using my classes so much, its crazy. Or so many places I didn’t make a class at all and just copy-pasted the styles on the buttons. I did my level best to fix all of that without breaking anything. My code looks much better now. Thanks for the tip, random reviewer I do not know-I finally saw the light lol. I made an app to place filters on images! Right now there’s a B&W filter and two toned filter the user can choose. There’s also an info button on the header if there’s any confusion. I feel like I’ll be adding that info button in a few more places. I also made a calendar. Okay, I’m going to vent here a little, feel free to scroll. This is mostly abt all the issues I ran into while coding-and all of it is very dumb. I learnt that I apparently didn’t know that its calendar not calender. Also I switch between American and British English a lot, so my html and js did NOT match in their spelling of “grey”. Istg, I make my own life harder at times. In the same vein, a similar naming mishap caused my js to break- it was at the end of the file, and hidden enough that its not visible while using. When I wrote the code for my calendar it didn’t work. I thought I made a mistake. I spent so much time rewriting, googling, getting frustrated. A lot of places it mentioned maybe the script wasn’t being defered properly. I was like nope, everything else works fine. I put the logic into the html script, it worked. I thought it was a mistake in the punctuation or indent and left it at that. Later in the day when I returned to make another app, it obviously did not work- I went through the same cycle. This time I was stubborn and didn’t want to put it in the html. I literally exhausted all possible options until I realized I could just check the console. There I did find an error, not in my calendar code, not in the app I was making, but in the filter app. I went through the five stages of grief in that second lol.

All your suggestions were really great and I’ve started to fix some of the bugs you guys found. I would have probably not have found out about the zooming thing because I never zoom in lol. What I Added So, I added a task manager. It’s basically a to-do list, where you can list the stuff you need to get done and check the box once it is. Initially it was just a button the hid itself. Out of curiosity I googled and found out there is a way to add a checkbox! You make an input element and give it the type “checkbox”. I rewrote my code to add that. Then I made a stopwatch and timer thing. The js felt really hard to write, so I asked a friend for help and she basically guided and explained the logic to me. The timer style was modelled of that of my phone, which meant you needed to scroll to set the time. But the scrolling was interpreted as dragging by my dragging code, so I needed a fix.

You live and learn ig.
What I Added I think this might just be my best app yet. I created an app called Terminal, which is a ripoff PowerShell. I had so much fun making it! There are multiple commands, some which run an animation, and others that perform simple tasks. When I was done with Terminal, I saw that I had exactly 11 apps. Which is a great number, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted an even twelve. Hence-Comms. My final app. You need a password to access it. Where you may get the password? That’s up to you to click around and find out. If you’re curious enough to know what it is, but not enough to explore, I’ll put it in my READMe when I ship this! Because I do want everyone to be able to use all applications, if you don’t feel like a treasure hunt. It’s a pretty cool app that you miiighht need if you want to access another window. I added another button on the Top Bar. It opens up a window, that may or may not be related to Comms. Be warned, it probably might tell you exactly what Comms is but not how to access it. This window allows you to use whatever you find in Comms to good use! I also made the two-tone filter update while you choose the colours. I also discovered the Go Live extension, which has worked wonders for both my refresh button and my console, which kept showing me the phrase unsafe URL for every image I loaded. I’m glad it finally found peace in its security
What I added Okay, you guys; this might just be the most complete this project has ever been. I only did minor additions here, so here goes- I made add the buttons with text on them hover uniformly. Its slightly superficial, but I just wanted them to be uniform. I added information buttons on the header for certain apps that might have quirks or be un-intuitive to navigate. Tbh I copied the code for my first information button pop-up and just added a different letter in front of it. I also added wallpapers! You now have six wallpapers to choose from. Initially I wanted to draw all of them. The default background I drew btw, but I just don’t have the time for it rn, so maybe in the future. So someone reviewed and told me my project doesn’t work in comet. I didn’t really know what comet was until I looked it up. There are a lot of differing opinions on what it could have been, so I have no clue. If someone has any idea, do reach out. Finally, I organized my html. Its strange to see how many comments I made towards the beginning, telling exactly what a div did. I was really unfamiliar with making page of that size, even if it wasn’t much. This time I didn’t go overboard in commenting and organising it I don’t have git so now I need to update my files on github, and edit the README. Once that’s done, its time to ship! Super excited for that

#Overview Cyber OS is a web based OS that is interactive with multiple draggable and closable windows. It has a hand-drawn background with a unique color palette inspired from cyberpunk and old CRT monitors. #Applications -Archive of Words: An application that introduces you to the most obscure words English has to offer. Have you ever wanted to win a crossword by knowing an eight letter word for theft? Well, here’s your chance! -Painterly: A standard painting application with a small twist- a pure black canvas and colors catered specifically for contrast without looking overwhelming. It also features a brush size changer, undo and redo buttons -Calculator: Your standard run-of-the-mill application for basic arithmetic computations -Display Settings: Distinct display settings meant to mimic the look of an old school CRT monitor. They can also be turned off, if they are not to the users’ liking. -Desktop Companion: An animated pixel sprite at the bottom right that keeps you company as you go about your work. _ I honestly found that learning code while actively creating a project was so much more enjoyable. I ran into so many hurdles, especially with the js code, from formatting to naming mishaps. I did learn more from making those mistakes than just knowing about them. I did want to create a few more interesting applications, but I need to learn a bit more before trying them. Keep an eye out! I’m incredibly proud of how this turned out. And I hope you’ll love it too! Cheers!
What I made: Cyber OS is an interactive, web-based OS. It has multiple applications, with closable, draggable windows with a z-index. There are roughly twelve applications in total, not counting the ones on the top bar. While I would love to ramble about all my applications, here are the ones I’m most proud of! In-Filter-Traitor: An application that filters your photos to either black and white, or a two-toned image that you can choose the shadows and highlights of! Ever felt your photos could benefit from a few more Gotham vibes? Never? Well, that’s disappointing. POST-IT: A virtual sticky note! I really love it mostly due to the design that may or may not have been a direct rip-off from the app in windows. It’s silly, but I’m happy that I managed to recreate it. Terminal: It lets you control the OS by practicing the ancient art of typing orange runes into a dark void. If you don’t know what to type, the void will inform you. Easter Egg! It just occurred to me that I may be overhyping this. Anyway, this is how it works- on the last slide of the sidebar there is an app called Comms. You will not be able to access it without a password. The password is hidden somewhere within the OS. There’s a window called Developer Logs that might tell you what Comms does, but not the password. If you’re short of time, or not up for a treasure hunt, the password is in my README with a spoiler warning! Also tell me if my hiding place was too obvious lol. Feeling Lost? Something not working? Please go through the README, I do think it covers most of the quirks you might encounter. Any application that’s un-intuitive has ⓘ. If you’re confused, click on it! If its anything that isn’t covered between the two, tell me! I’ll make sure to fix it up. What I’m proud of This took me so much time to make. I’m really proud that I managed to do this regularly between school, classes and competitions. I’m really bad at time management so this is a huge win for me! I’m also really proud of the fact that I’m able to debug stuff myself now a bit more. Before I needed to constantly google why my console was showing up an error, and how to fix it. Now I can somewhat understand why my code glitched, and the steps I can take to remedy it. I had so much fun making this, and now I’m going to be slightly lost now lol. But anyway, I put a lot of heart into this project, and I really hope that its visible! Thank you all for following along!...

Just finished the first python script and the README. about it. It’s a basic script for displaying hand landmarks in webcam footage. It is rather a simple script because I simply want to learn and test the waters before I sink too deep that I can’t swim back up .👋
Finished another script utilizing the results function even more and using it to draw lines and circles when pinched. Added to the repo and the README.md go check it out at my Github.👋
Actively working on a new and improved drawing system that will use outside variables to draw on other places got it half working but still has some polishing to do and is nowhere near what i wanted to do may ask AI where i went wrong but im trying to use it as little as possible on this project didn’t add to README.md yet ,will try to add drawing polygons and arcs the next time.
Continuing the work on the new drawing system using visual input whilst also working on a sound level control script having some issues with it but nearly finished will push the full version to my github.
Finishing up another script this one was a tad harder than the others because i decided to also rotate the square whilst making it bigger then added a square within the square using a formula that ı actually learned in school. Looking into how to actually deploy these (even tough this project and its repo has become a study more than a project)
Finished up the README looking up how to deploy this right now might use webassembly but ı dont know
Nearly finished with pushing the demo to the web .Not gonna lie I used AI to turn my code to WebAssembly for the demo since im not that good at html
Working on new versions that utilize both hands. Also looking into other OpenCV functions like .GaussianBlur and .Canny. It took quite a bit to do the hand thing on the new .tasks() but after figuring that out it all went smoothly. Go check out my other code pieces about MediaPipe on my Github. 👋
Added a new drawing system took a bit to work it out but finally after switching to the normal python lists it was like a breeze. There are still some gimmicks i would like to fix in the near future, but as i just stated “in the near future”. Go to my GitHub to check this script or my other scripts about MediaPipe.👋
Added the readme for the blur stuff and had AI help me on the WASM for the blur stuff all on the website with a flip camera keybind
Ships:
I made a MediaPipe guide that gets the newly used tasks function instead of what nearly all other tutorials do (get the old function which isn’t supported anymore) wrote some scripts to use the 21 Hand Landmarks that we get through MediaPipe’s hand_landmark.task to write 4 scripts (from basic to complex)meddled with some math used a formula that i actually learned in school, turned the whole python scripts into one Web Assembly(with AI) html so i can offload the work onto the users pc then published it using githup pages in the making of this i ventured countless websites but main ones were googles original documents about the new .task function
Updated the project to include a touch designer like blur mask using convex hull’s and gaussian blur also added a new drawing system that is a heck of a lot better than the old one...

[{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-0 [{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-06-17T13:37:41Z", "hours": 3.0, "multiplier": 14.33, "payout": 46, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "NovaOS started as a small experiment. I wanted to see if I could recreate the feeling of using a desktop operating system entirely inside the browser. What I expected to be a quick side project ended up becoming something much bigger over the course of a few days. The goal was never to copy Windows or macOS. I wanted NovaOS to have its own identity while still feeling familiar enough that anyone could jump in and immediately understand how to use it. The result is a browser-based desktop environment complete with its own applications, taskbar, launcher, notifications, settings system, wallpapers, and window management. Since the first version, the project has grown quite a bit. NovaOS now includes Nova AI, Nova Command, Nova Music, Notes, Calculator, Explorer, Stellar Navigation, live wallpapers, onboarding screens, desktop widgets, custom application icons, system monitoring tools, and a number of smaller quality-of-life features. Version 1.0.2 focused heavily on improving the overall experience, redesigning parts of the interface, adding new applications, and making the desktop feel more cohesive. I used Claude throughout development as a tool to help generate parts of the CSS, experiment with interface ideas, and build some larger components. Nova Command was largely built with Claude’s assistance, along with several widgets and UI systems.

hi! Been working on NovaOS, a desktop environment I’m building in React. It’s not a real operating system, but more of a futuristic desktop experience with its own apps, live wallpapers, glassmorphism UI, and custom window system. So far I’ve built a taskbar, start menu (Nova Hub), Notes, Explorer, Calculator, Nova AI, Nova Command, Settings, boot animations, and support for live video wallpapers. Lately I’ve been focusing on making everything feel more polished and less like a prototype. Still plenty to improve, but it’s finally starting to feel like an actual desktop instead of a bunch of components thrown together.
Hi!! NovaOS is becoming very close to that point where I can say that it’s “usable” and not just “project”. The development of most of the key features is completed now, which means that I can finally start working on improving existing code rather than implementing new stuff. Right now, I’m working on cleaning up the user interface, making the windows behave better, redesigning Settings app, working on the taskbar and Nova Hub. Also, now novaOS supports multiple live wallpapers and I have started adding some improvements to the stock apps to make them more functional. Now, it’s almost all about bug fixing, UI adjustments and quality of life improvements.
That’s all for now. NovaOS v1.0 is done after 3 days of developing, breaking, fixing stuff, redesigning some half of the interface, and wasting a lot of time trying to find those weird bugs. It grew from being an experiment to a full-fledged desktop environment working inside the browser, equipped with its own applications, launcher, wallpaper options, notifications, music player, artificial intelligence, settings, and many other features. I especially liked implementing Nova Command, Nova Music, and making the whole desktop feel like an actual operating system. Working on this project definitely brought many insights and overall I’m quite satisfied with the result achieved in such little time. For everyone interested to see the result yourself: 🔗 Live Demo: https://nova-os-encrypt.netlify.app/ 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/rishitencrypt/Nova-Os Thanks for following me during this journey. Next project incoming.
NovaOS v1.0.2 With this release, the goal was to make NovaOS feel like an actual desktop environment instead of just browser windows piled up. This includes a redesign of the layout of the Explorer. The addition of the Stellar Navigation simulator gives users the ability to navigate a space ship using a simple, yet engaging simulation game. Icons for use on the desktop were redesigned and unified using a consistent design approach, instead of relying on placeholder art for each application. There have been several updates under the hood to further refine various aspects of NovaOS including window behavior, desktop arrangement, and application layout.
Ships:
So this is NovaOS, my browser based desktop environment. I started this about 3 days ago as a small side project, and somehow it turned into something much bigger than I anticipated. My primary goal for this project was to create a desktop environment which was reminiscent of an actual desktop operating system, and still remained completely within the browser. Here are some of the features I ended up including: desktop, taskbar, launcher, windowing system, live wallpapers, notifications, settings, music player, notes app, file explorer, calculator, Nova AI, Nova Command. Although I could have tried to rebuild Windows or macOS, my true intention was to create something original and built entirely by me and help of Claude AI. i used claude to create me some css for the project, nova command app was entirely made using Claude , and the widget . I believe the largest obstacle I faced was getting all the features to interact with each other. Actually implementing a single feature is one aspect; getting all your apps, windows, settings, wallpapers and notifications working together smoothly is where almost all of my time went. There were definitely quite a few bugs, and plenty of issues with deployment, and fixing one bug would cause two more. This was pretty much a project in problem solving. The thing that I am the most proud of is the fact that I actually finished it. It is quite easy to start something because of the excitement of a new idea, however actually taking that idea all the way through to completion is much more difficult. Getting all the different pieces to work together in harmony, and to create something which actually felt like a desktop was a tremendous joy that made all the debugging worthwhile. If you decide to try out NovaOS, the best way to do it is to simply mess around with it. Open the apps, try the Nova Command, use Nova Music, change a wallpaper and check the settings. Although there are still quite a few areas that may seem a bit rough around the edges, given that it was built relatively quickly, I think it pretty much captures what I was looking to achieve. And after three days I think that NovaOS v1.0 is officially done.
NovaOS started as a small experiment. I wanted to see if I could recreate the feeling of using a desktop operating system entirely inside the browser. What I expected to be a quick side project ended up becoming something much bigger over the course of a few days. The goal was never to copy Windows or macOS. I wanted NovaOS to have its own identity while still feeling familiar enough that anyone could jump in and immediately understand how to use it. The result is a browser-based desktop environment complete with its own applications, taskbar, launcher, notifications, settings system, wallpapers, and window management. Since the first version, the project has grown quite a bit. NovaOS now includes Nova AI, Nova Command, Nova Music, Notes, Calculator, Explorer, Stellar Navigation, live wallpapers, onboarding screens, desktop widgets, custom application icons, system monitoring tools, and a number of smaller quality-of-life features. Version 1.0.2 focused heavily on improving the overall experience, redesigning parts of the interface, adding new applications, and making the desktop feel more cohesive. I used Claude throughout development as a tool to help generate parts of the CSS, experiment with interface ideas, and build some larger components. Nova Command was largely built with Claude’s assistance, along with several widgets and UI systems. Everything still required a lot of manual integration, debugging, redesigning, and refinement to fit together inside the project. The hardest part was never building individual features. A calculator, notes app, or music player can be built on their own. The real challenge was getting everything to work together without breaking something else. Wallpapers needed to communicate with settings, windows needed to interact correctly with the taskbar, notifications needed to work across applications, and every new feature introduced another opportunity for bugs. A large portion of development ended up being spent connecting systems together and solving unexpected problems. What I’m most proud of isn’t any individual feature. It’s the fact that the project actually reached a point where it feels complete and usable. Starting a project is exciting. Finishing one is much harder. There were plenty of moments where fixing one issue created two new ones, but seeing everything finally come together into something that genuinely feels like a desktop environment made the effort worthwhile. If you decide to try NovaOS, the best way to experience it is to explore. Open applications, customize the desktop, launch Stellar Navigation, experiment with Nova Command, play music, change wallpapers, and see what you can find. There are still features I want to add and areas I want to improve, but this version finally feels like the vision I had when I started. For now, NovaOS v1.0.2 marks the end of the first chapter of the project....

Planet positions come from simplified J2000 Keplerian elements (semi-major axis, eccentricity, orbital period, etc.) and get advanced from the current date, so they’re calculated fresh instead of being hardcoded. Conveniently I’d already written a Newton-Raphson solver for Kepler’s equation while making Umbra, so I shamelessly reused it here to solve the eccentric anomaly before converting that into the planet’s true anomaly and distance from the Sun. Nice when old suffering becomes reusable code lol. Biggest headache honestly wasn’t the orbital maths, it was the scale. If you draw everything linearly then Neptune disappears off the edge of the canvas, but if you squash everything too much then the inner planets all merge together. Ended up scaling the orbital radius by √r instead, which keeps the angular positions correct while compressing the distances enough that the whole Solar System fits on one screen.

astrOS day 1: I want to finish this project really efficiently, so I have mapped out what features I want (you will see as they come). Today, I finished the boot screen and styling for it, and made the file structure. Not much, only 40 mins, but since its a roughly 2hr 30m project, 30m a day means I finish in 5 days. Next devlog should hopefully be finishing the desktop design, probably ~1hr.
MAJORRR Update First app, context menu, and a LOT of stars 😭 Today I wanted to add an app. Not a standard one like notepad, music, file explorer… something that is different. So, naturally, I spent two hours coding my own star map using a ton of stars from the yale bright star catalogue (okay maybe not a ton but you get the idea). It takes the users location, calculates the chunk of sky above them (yes, you can do this) and shows the major stars visible to the naked eye on a turntable style minimap. What the heck am I gonna do next for one, the text on the map rotates with everything so i gotta fix that THEN i’ll add a normal app like notepad lol a background needs to be added too, also I might add a bg switcher. ohhhh yeah and i added stuff from the guide like the topbar and time, that’s not the star of the show for this log though lol.
Small update added a basic notepad app, it does not save between sessions though. added an animation to minimising windows [FIX] made star names not rotate with the star map (this was annoying me lol) what’s next? add icons to taskbar and not just names for minimised apps hide the coords on sky map lol dont doxx yourself a review of the guidelines so I can get webOS 2!
WebOS 1 - Finished! Sure it took longer than it should’ve, but at least the sky map is quality Today I finished off the final parts for the first mission. I added a coords toggle so you don’t doxx yourself while taking screenshots of the map. I also fixed up the minimising animation and changed the taskbar to host the app icons instead of the usual app name (this had an ugly white bg lol so I had to change it no matter what) I also added a custom background (yes this is reused from my g-lens project sue me) I’m gonna ship this now for WebOS 1, the finished, polished product will be shipped for WebOS 2 (so if anything can be improved, dm me or comment and I’ll fix it then!)

APOD Viewer Added the Astronomy Picture of the Day app, pulls straight from NASA’s API and shows today’s pic with the write-up tucked behind a toggle so the image gets to be the main object first. Cached in localStorage per calendar day, so reopening the window doesn’t burn another call for the same picture Nearly got got by this one: NASA sometimes serves a video instead of an image for the day, and my first pass just shoved the url into an <img> tag, broken image icon staring back at me lol Added a media_type check so videos link out instead of trying to embed Also handled the fetch failing outright, just shows a “try again later” message instead of leaving a blank window, DEMO_KEY ’s rate limit is gonna trip this eventually so it needed to fail gracefully lol what’s next? either stargazing conditions or the ISS tracker, we’ll see which one I go for
ISS Tracker New app, tracks the ISS live using wheretheiss.at (no key needed, CORS-open, genuinely such a nice API to work with). Polls every 5 seconds for lat/lon/altitude/velocity Keeping the last 20 fixes so there’s a fading trail behind the current position instead of just a dot that teleports every update Drew my own little world map for this since I didn’t want to deal with map tile assets, just lat/lon gridlines every 30°, equator and prime meridian slightly brighter. I reused the geolocation I already grab on boot for the sky map, so this app also shows your distance from the ISS via a haversineKm() calc, and flags when it’s within ~2000km with a little “nearby!” tag. Not a proper overhead check (that’d need elevation angle above your horizon) but good enough for now Added a stopIssTracker() call on window close so the polling interval actually dies instead of running forever in the background, learnt that lesson the hard way after leaving a tab open for way too long testing this At the time of writing this I had just the idea to implement a trail that shows the future path, will do this now lol.
Stargazing Conditions New app, tells you whether tonight’s actually worth setting up a telescope for. pulls cloud cover, humidity and wind from Open-Meteo using the location I already grab on boot, no key needed which is nice the moon phase bit doesn’t touch an API at all, did it properly with the synodic month (29.53 days) against a known reference new moon, so it’s just maths running locally combined cloud cover and moon brightness into a rough seeing score out of 10, heavier cloud and a brighter moon both drag it down, then a one-line verdict underneath so you don’t have to interpret the number yourself was gonna render an actual crescent/gibbous moon on canvas for this but after the ISS ground track thing broke last time I didn’t wanna ship more clipping/arc geometry I couldn’t properly test, so it’s just the phase emoji + name + illumination % instead. honestly looks fine, might revisit the canvas version later if I’m bored
Solar System Viewer Thought it’d be cool to have something you could just leave open on the desktop, so I added a little live Solar System app. Every planet sits where it actually should be today rather than looping around on some fake animation. Planet positions come from simplified J2000 Keplerian elements (semi-major axis, eccentricity, orbital period, etc.) and get advanced from the current date, so they’re calculated fresh instead of being hardcoded. Conveniently I’d already written a Newton-Raphson solver for Kepler’s equation while making Umbra, so I shamelessly reused it here to solve the eccentric anomaly before converting that into the planet’s true anomaly and distance from the Sun. Nice when old suffering becomes reusable code lol. Biggest headache honestly wasn’t the orbital maths, it was the scale. If you draw everything linearly then Neptune disappears off the edge of the canvas, but if you squash everything too much then the inner planets all merge together. Ended up scaling the orbital radius by √r instead, which keeps the angular positions correct while compressing the distances enough that the whole Solar System fits on one screen. Made every planet clickable as well because a static diagram felt a bit dead. Clicking one gives its current distance from the Sun and orbital period, with Earth getting a little highlight ring so it’s easy to spot where we are. It redraws once a minute since the planets barely move on human timescales anyway, and it’s definitely not accurate enough to navigate a spacecraft with, but it’s surprisingly close considering it’s just running a handful of orbital equations in the browser lol. deffo gonna play around with the window sizing cause its kinda weird right now… also neptune is STILL SQUASHED (genuine annoyance btw) so will do this TOMORROW.
Tiny fix lol I stopped good ol’ neptune being cut off on the solar system map, and also made it so that the contents of the notepad/mission log are saved in localStorage
Meteor Shower Tracker finished the last feature, a year-round meteor shower schedule with active/upcoming status so you actually know when to set an alarm. 11 major showers baked in (Quadrantids through Ursids), and everything’s calculated client-side, no API needed. stores absolute peak dates for each shower and works out the active window locally, correctly handles the year-boundary ones (Quadrantids starts Dec 28, Ursids ends Dec 26) without breaking on Jan 1st sorts active showers first, then whoever’s next peak is soonest countdown properly distinguishes “peak in Xd” from “peaked Xd ago” for showers you’re still inside the window for but already past peak on, caught that bug and fixed it before shipping by testing across multiple dates including exact-peak day (Aug 12 for Perseids) renders as a compact list with radiant constellation, ZHR (~Zenith Hourly Rate), and the peak countdown, all colour-coded so active showers pop no polling, just recomputes fresh every time you open it Bug Fixes & Polish went through all three files line-by-line before shipping. found and fixed two bugs plus some cleanup: window snapping corners were broken — getSnapZone() detected top-left/top-right when you dragged to a corner, but showSnapPreview() and applySnap() never had rect definitions for those zones, so the preview showed nothing and the drop silently failed. added proper quarter-tile rects for both corners so you can now snap to all four quadrants APOD toggle IDs — getElementById() calls for apod explanation/toggle buttons were working but the elements weren’t explicitly in the HTML, they were created at render-time by innerHTML, so the id references were technically fine but fragile. left them as-is since they work, but flagged it as something to refactor if we add more dynamic content later also ik its been shown in an earlier devlog, but the taskbar on the bottom isn’t exactly empty lol, you can minimise apps to it (third pic). maybe i’ll add a pin to taskbar feature? what’s left SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Ships:
I have made a functional astronomy focused WebOS called astrOS. It currently features a custom programmed sky map which takes your location and shows you what is currently in the sky near you, and a simple in-session notepad. It also has a right-click context menu featuring my socials and projects (project links will be added when they are done lol) You can minimise windows as well. Please put any suggestions for new features you have in comments, I’d appreciate it a lot.
astrOS is a fullscreen web OS with nine astronomy apps built in vanilla JS: Sky Map uses real star positions calculated from your location, ISS Tracker polls live satellite data with haversine distance, Stargazing Conditions combines weather and moon phase into a seeing score, Solar System renders Keplerian orbits with clickable planets, Meteor Shower Tracker handles year-boundary showers correctly with proper countdown logic, plus NGC Catalogue, APOD, Mission Log, and Wallpaper Changer. I’m most proud of the Sky Map actually calculating real positions rather than faking it, and the ISS Tracker being genuinely useful for knowing whether the station is overhead. To test: open on desktop in fullscreen (geolocation needs permission and fullscreen mode to work), try dragging windows to screen edges to see snapping, check the meteor tracker during an active shower, click planets in Solar System to see their stats, and the Mission Log text persists across refreshes via localStorage. yes, i know it said 3 new features from webos1, but I got a bit too excited. have fun!...

Ships:
TypeForum - A Forum web app for niche communities! It was a good experience making this project, I’ve faced issues with updating info real time but i have managed to over come it. If you are testing this, make sure to run all the SQL commands in supabase/migrations.
one devlog wasn’t included in prevoius ship so im shipping it again. also addressed few bugs from feedback and i have fixed it....

[{"post_id": 70745, "ts": "202 [{"post_id": 70745, "ts": "2026-09-19T18:11:08Z", "hours": 3.2156, "text": "devlog Hey guys, how’s going? I’m pretty well, I have loads of things to do, but there’s always time for my biggest passion, coding. Yesterday I turned on a strinct CSP (content security policy) for this project, so today the pricing section looked like the one in the first screen. The Popular badge had no pill behind it, it was just the word, with the card’s border running straight through it. The higlighted card’s border was white, instead of indigo. Also the Get Pro was the same flat grey as the two buttons next to it. It looked like a CSS mistake, but actually it wasn’t. “It worked on my machine” ng serve rendered it correctly. Same commit, same browser. That is the part that cost me the most time: I kept hunting for a rule that only existed in production. So I stopped reading CSS and read the live page instead: --color-primary → \"\" (empty) badge background → rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) (transparent) card border → rgb(255, 255, 255) --color-primary wasn’t defined at all. And when a custom property is undefined, background-color: var(--color-primary) computes to transparent , while border-color: var(--color-primary) falls back to currentColor , which on that section is white. One missing variable, and every symptom follows from it, including the ones that look unrelated. Where the variable went Angular’s production build enables inlineCritical . It inlines the critical CSS and defers the rest of the stylesheet like this: <link rel= \"stylesheet\" href= \"styles-XXXX.css\" media= \"print\" onload= \"this.media='all'\" > That onload is an inline event handler , and script-src 'self' blocks inline handlers. So the handler never ran, the stylesheet stayed at media=\"print\" , and it was never applied. For a whole day the site had been running on nothing but the inlined critical CSS, and the theme tokens live in the file that never loaded. ng serve doesn’t run inlineCritical . That’s the entire reason it only happened in production. The fix is one flag in angular.json : \"optimization\" : { \"styles\" : { \"minify\" : true , \"inlineCritical\" : false } } The stylesheet now ships as a plain blocking <link> . One render-blocking request, ~20 KB gzipped, and the CSP stays exactly as strict as it was."}, {"post_id": 32224, "ts": "2026-07-21T08:07:59Z", "hours": 0.7983, "text": "I don’t know why, but the db crashed, so the backend wasn’t working and many of you couldn’t test out the app. I just fixed this problem, and added in docker compose the restart clause, so things like this won’t happen again.

Lately I focused a lot on improving both the website and the overall user experience. The first thing I did was completely redesign the landing page. I switched everything to a dark theme, added a new hero section with a background image and gradient overlay, and converted every section into dark cards to make the design feel much more consistent. I also reworked the pricing section Finally, I added smooth navigation between sections using anchor links. I also redesigned the navigation bar. On desktop and tablets it stays at the top as expected, while on mobile it moves to the bottom of the screen for easier access. During this process I removed the old hamburger menu. The file manager received one of the biggest UI updates. On mobile there’s now a bottom navigation bar with a floating upload button in the center. The Files page no longer uses a traditional table; instead, files are displayed as modern cards with encryption badges and a cleaner action menu that groups all available operations together. I also fixed some spacing issues on the login page caused by the fixed navbar. Besides the UI, I spent some time improving the website from a technical perspective. I configured gzip compression, hid unnecessary server information, fixed some SEO issues like duplicated headings, and added both a robots.txt file and a sitemap. Another important feature I implemented is the new Settings page. It now includes profile information, security settings, storage usage, and account management. I decided to keep the interface honest: only features that are actually supported by the backend are available, while future ones are clearly disabled. I also implemented permanent account deletion, both on the backend and frontend, making sure all related data is safely removed before the user is deleted. I added a lot, I hope everything works as I expect.

As you can see, I just need to start from the biggest Node, which is the “center” of the project, and then link every other Node. The nice thing is that you can also ask questions, and the AI will respond also taking in consideration the graph, so the response will be more accurate.

I bound internal ports to localhost; moved JWT secret to a real random value in .env; hardened rate limiting (to avoid spoofing); set file uploading limit to 40MB and switched uploads/downloads to streaming so files aren’t loaded whole into RAM. Sharing rework (the main piece). Before, each user had one master DEK that encrypted all their files, and sharing sent that master DEK to the server in cleartext, so the server could decrypt shared files, and sharing one file handed over the key to every file. Now the master DEK only wraps other keys. Each file has its own random DEK (encrypting its content and name), stored wrapped by the master DEK. Each user has an RSA keypair: the public key is stored in cleartext, the private key is wrapped by the master DEK (so password reset and recovery keep working without extra code). To share, the sender fetches the recipient’s public key and RSA-encrypts only that file’s DEK; the recipient decrypts it with their private key. The server never sees a key in cleartext, and the recipient gets access to only that one file. Public links work the same way, carrying the DEK for each file in the URL fragment (never sent to the server), with a revoke action. To clean the code I also made an interfaces refactor. Moved all TypeScript interfaces into core/interfaces/, one per file (I), updated imports, removed the old model files. I’m quite done, I still have to review some graphical aspects and improve some things in the code, but I think I’ll be done this week."}, {"post_id": 21523, "ts": "2026-07-03T15:14:16Z", "hours": 0.6814, "text": "Okay guys, big problem. I realized I haven’t solved my problem with sharing files. I actually made things worse. Now each user has one DEK that is used for encryption of all their files. Two issues: the server is able to read the key (it decrypts shared files, thus E2EE is not provided), and when you give a person access to one file, you give the person access to all files. The solution I need to implement: the master DEK will not be used for encrypting the files anymore, but will become a wrapping key, each file will have its own DEK which encrypts data in this particular file, and this DEK will be wrapped by the master DEK. Each user should also have a key pair for RSA encryption: the public part of the key will be in cleartext, while the private part will be wrapped by the master DEK. When a user shares a file, they encrypt only the DEK of this file with the recipient’s public RSA key, the recipient decrypts it with the private RSA key, and the server does not see any key in cleartext. Wrapping the private key with the master DEK (not the password) means it’s recovered for free via the recovery key and survives password resets, so the existing login/recovery code stays untouched. I hope to be able to fix this problem in reasonable time. I’ll stay in touch for further clarification and devlogs P.S. in the screen you can see the DEK, proof for my thesis."}, {"post_id": 21487, "ts": "2026-07-03T13:52:44Z", "hours": 1.5675, "text": "Still improving the application.

I had some problems with the sharing of files, I realized I was also sharing the DEK of the user, which is really a problem since the receiver could, from that moment, decrypt every sender file. After fixing it I improved some things in the backend, like the process of uploading and downloading files. Another important thing I fixed is the preview.

Devlogs:
I’m currently working on secureVault, a E2E platform which allows people to store securely files and organize them in folder. Additionaly there’s the possibility to share files. It follows a lot of directives to mantain everything crypted. I had already started this project, so it isn’t fully logged. Stay tuned.
I’m slowly compelting this project. I uploaded everything on #Nest, very useful. I still have to find a solution for the SMTP service, but I’m sure I’ll find something. I’m currently fixing some graphical isseus, for example I fixed the responsivety of the application, mostly the lateral navbar. Before the release, I want to fix some other problems and things I don’t like. Additionaly I want to test everything and be sure that the encryption is secure and working correctly.
Still improving the website and checking security. I hope everything works well and is secure. I’m now focusing on fixing small bugs, and improving UI. Something I still have to figure out, is how to manage SMTP. I don’t know if I’ll just skip this part and open a link in the browser, that works like the mail. Idk In the meanwhile I’m also addressing some memory issues, since the container given by Nest is just 2 GB in ram, so I have to optimize everything, to make the app work correctly. A thing I found really useful in this project is committing with claude. Many times I don’t know what to write, and many commits are too vague, so Claude is really helpful for this task.
Still working for improving the app. I’m slowly changing simple details, and fixing bugs, like rate limiting for api, uploading dimensions and so on. As you can see from the screens, I also added the “fake” email inbox, that allows to verify the email. This was a solution I came up yesterday, to avoid using an SMTP server. I hope you find it reasonable.
Still improving the application. I want everything to be the best as possible. I fixed some minor bugs in fronted, mostly with the crypto service. I had some problems with the sharing of files, I realized I was also sharing the DEK of the user, which is really a problem since the receiver could, from that moment, decrypt every sender file. After fixing it I improved some things in the backend, like the process of uploading and downloading files. Another important thing I fixed is the preview. The problem is that before I was opening the file directly in RAM, which, as I explained in some prev devlog, is a problem, since I have only 2 gb of ram. The important thing is that I was able to fix it, by opening it on disk.
Okay guys, big problem. I realized I haven’t solved my problem with sharing files. I actually made things worse. Now each user has one DEK that is used for encryption of all their files. Two issues: the server is able to read the key (it decrypts shared files, thus E2EE is not provided), and when you give a person access to one file, you give the person access to all files. The solution I need to implement: the master DEK will not be used for encrypting the files anymore, but will become a wrapping key, each file will have its own DEK which encrypts data in this particular file, and this DEK will be wrapped by the master DEK. Each user should also have a key pair for RSA encryption: the public part of the key will be in cleartext, while the private part will be wrapped by the master DEK. When a user shares a file, they encrypt only the DEK of this file with the recipient’s public RSA key, the recipient decrypts it with the private RSA key, and the server does not see any key in cleartext. Wrapping the private key with the master DEK (not the password) means it’s recovered for free via the recovery key and survives password resets, so the existing login/recovery code stays untouched. I hope to be able to fix this problem in reasonable time. I’ll stay in touch for further clarification and devlogs P.S. in the screen you can see the DEK, proof for my thesis.
Hi guys Lately I did much work. First of all, security audit fixes. I bound internal ports to localhost; moved JWT secret to a real random value in .env; hardened rate limiting (to avoid spoofing); set file uploading limit to 40MB and switched uploads/downloads to streaming so files aren’t loaded whole into RAM. Sharing rework (the main piece). Before, each user had one master DEK that encrypted all their files, and sharing sent that master DEK to the server in cleartext, so the server could decrypt shared files, and sharing one file handed over the key to every file. Now the master DEK only wraps other keys. Each file has its own random DEK (encrypting its content and name), stored wrapped by the master DEK. Each user has an RSA keypair: the public key is stored in cleartext, the private key is wrapped by the master DEK (so password reset and recovery keep working without extra code). To share, the sender fetches the recipient’s public key and RSA-encrypts only that file’s DEK; the recipient decrypts it with their private key. The server never sees a key in cleartext, and the recipient gets access to only that one file. Public links work the same way, carrying the DEK for each file in the URL fragment (never sent to the server), with a revoke action. To clean the code I also made an interfaces refactor. Moved all TypeScript interfaces into core/interfaces/, one per file (I), updated imports, removed the old model files. I’m quite done, I still have to review some graphical aspects and improve some things in the code, but I think I’ll be done this week.
Hey guys, I know this isn’t a proper devlog, but I wanted to show you this new tool I used yesterday, called graphify. Basically you take an AI, and you install graphify on it. It will create this graph, that represents the project. I find it really useful for my actual process, reviewing. As you can see, I just need to start from the biggest Node, which is the “center” of the project, and then link every other Node. The nice thing is that you can also ask questions, and the AI will respond also taking in consideration the graph, so the response will be more accurate. I strongly advice this tool for reviewing the code and improving the “style” of the code. I hope you like it
Okay guys, big news: I was finally able to get an SMTP server from a friend of mine, so now email verification and password recovery are working. I’m pretty satisfied; I really wanted this app to work as well as possible, and with email support, it feels even more complete. Stay tuned, because it won’t be long before it’s ready.
Hey guys, here I am again. Lately I focused a lot on improving both the website and the overall user experience. The first thing I did was completely redesign the landing page. I switched everything to a dark theme, added a new hero section with a background image and gradient overlay, and converted every section into dark cards to make the design feel much more consistent. I also reworked the pricing section Finally, I added smooth navigation between sections using anchor links. I also redesigned the navigation bar. On desktop and tablets it stays at the top as expected, while on mobile it moves to the bottom of the screen for easier access. During this process I removed the old hamburger menu. The file manager received one of the biggest UI updates. On mobile there’s now a bottom navigation bar with a floating upload button in the center. The Files page no longer uses a traditional table; instead, files are displayed as modern cards with encryption badges and a cleaner action menu that groups all available operations together. I also fixed some spacing issues on the login page caused by the fixed navbar. Besides the UI, I spent some time improving the website from a technical perspective. I configured gzip compression, hid unnecessary server information, fixed some SEO issues like duplicated headings, and added both a robots.txt file and a sitemap. Another important feature I implemented is the new Settings page. It now includes profile information, security settings, storage usage, and account management. I decided to keep the interface honest: only features that are actually supported by the backend are available, while future ones are clearly disabled. I also implemented permanent account deletion, both on the backend and frontend, making sure all related data is safely removed before the user is deleted. I added a lot, I hope everything works as I expect. See ya
Finished the project. I used a seo checker to improve the seo, at least, what I can actually improve. I then focused on writing the md files. The readme and the security.md, that displays all infos about how crypto works and in general terms, security. I hope you like the project.
I don’t know why, but the db crashed, so the backend wasn’t working and many of you couldn’t test out the app. I just fixed this problem, and added in docker compose the restart clause, so things like this won’t happen again. Sorry for the problem
devlog Hey guys, how’s going? I’m pretty well, I have loads of things to do, but there’s always time for my biggest passion, coding. Yesterday I turned on a strinct CSP (content security policy) for this project, so today the pricing section looked like the one in the first screen. The Popular badge had no pill behind it, it was just the word, with the card’s border running straight through it. The higlighted card’s border was white, instead of indigo. Also the Get Pro was the same flat grey as the two buttons next to it. It looked like a CSS mistake, but actually it wasn’t. “It worked on my machine” ng serve rendered it correctly. Same commit, same browser. That is the part that cost me the most time: I kept hunting for a rule that only existed in production. So I stopped reading CSS and read the live page instead: --color-primary → "" (empty) badge background → rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) (transparent) card border → rgb(255, 255, 255) --color-primary wasn’t defined at all. And when a custom property is undefined, background-color: var(--color-primary) computes to transparent , while border-color: var(--color-primary) falls back to currentColor , which on that section is white. One missing variable, and every symptom follows from it, including the ones that look unrelated. Where the variable went Angular’s production build enables inlineCritical . It inlines the critical CSS and defers the rest of the stylesheet like this: <link rel= "stylesheet" href= "styles-XXXX.css" media= "print" onload= "this.media='all'" > That onload is an inline event handler , and script-src 'self' blocks inline handlers. So the handler never ran, the stylesheet stayed at media="print" , and it was never applied. For a whole day the site had been running on nothing but the inlined critical CSS, and the theme tokens live in the file that never loaded. ng serve doesn’t run inlineCritical . That’s the entire reason it only happened in production. The fix is one flag in angular.json : "optimization" : { "styles" : { "minify" : true , "inlineCritical" : false } } The stylesheet now ships as a plain blocking <link> . One render-blocking request, ~20 KB gzipped, and the CSP stays exactly as strict as it was.
Ships:
SecureVault, zero knowledge, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage. Your files and their names are encrypted in the browser before they ever reach the server, which only ever stores ciphertext it can’t read.
Just improved some things, mostly advices from other users....

New Apps: Browser: A searching tool that allows you to search on the web (incomplete) Weather app: Real-time weather tracker using OpenWeather API, showing current and future temperature, visibility, wind, and so on. (Currently only showing New York Weather) Updates on Existing Apps: Widget: Added a weather widget; link the widget to the Weather app. New Features: Visual & Design: Unified color system with accent glow effects. New glass morphism layers. Standardized spacing scale and border radius system. Defined consistent typography sizes, weights, and letter spacing. Added maximizing and minimizing animations. Components: Desktop icons now have a different lift and glow on hover. Buttons and menus use smooth transform feedback. Context menus show accent bars and slide‑in animations. Window controls have larger hit areas and ring hover effects. Start menu and quick settings redesigned with better padding and hover states. Lock Screen: New layout with large time display and username. Added unlock animation. Complete CSS and JS restructure for smoother motion. Taskbar: Added a search bar that lets you quickly find and open specific apps. Taskbar buttons have scale and glow animations. Challenges solved: When I tried adding new ideas to enhance the overall visual appeal, I encountered a serious issue: the overlay system and window management stopped working again. The wallpaper no longer aligned with the desktop, and the window dragging function broke as well. I started looking for the problem but couldn’t find the cause, so I decided to restore everything and proceed more carefully. Bugs: The browser app is not working. It loaded external websites directly inside an iframe. Many sites block being embedded through CSP or X-Frame-Options, so the page often stayed blank, or the navigation controls stopped working. I tried loading external sites directly in an iframe, which does not work. I also tried routing page loads through the local proxy, but the app still depends on websites that often block embedding.

Two likely causes are that ES module scoping hides “openApp()” from inline onclick handlers, or a full-screen overlay (like the widget layer) is missing “pointer-events: none” and silently blocking clicks before they reach the icons. My next plan is to fix the bugs, add animated wallpapers, add a weather and AI app, and possibly add some online features (e.g., cloud sync).
Finally! After a long time of testing, I found where the bug is. I forgot that there is a layer on top of everything, so I added “pointer-events: none;” in #wlayer and “pointer-events: auto;” in .win. Also, I added a right click context menu.
Dev Log # 3 A brand new Dev Log! Over the past few days, I added a bunch of exciting new features, mainly focusing on user experience. I also fixed some tiny bugs that struggled me a lot. New Apps Paint: A drawing canvas that allows the user to freely decorate things they want using tools, different colors, and shapes. Updates on Existing Apps Notes: Notes now support markdown format and can be downloaded Calculator: Calculator now has an advanced mode that allows users to use a scientific calculator. Terminal: Terminal now supports more commands (even though they are still not fully functional) Clock: Clock now has a timer section that can be used to set a countdown timer. New Features Draggable desktop icons Taskbar now has an entire tray allowing the user to change volume, brightness, Wi-Fi, and many other settings all in one place. Taskbar now shows battery status. New wallpapers are added to the settings. Change the UI of some apps. Challenges The right-click context menu somehow didn’t show up again. I tried different solutions, but none of them worked. Solutions I asked some AI agents and browsed for a long time, and finally found the solution. The “contextmenu” handler in main.js crashed from undefined “closeVolumePopup()” and “closeBatteryPopup()” calls; adding both to “taskbar.js” with the usual “.visible”‑toggle pattern fixed the crash and the related desktop‑click bug that blocked “showContextMenu()” and overlay dismissal. In the next update, I will try to implement the Weather App, the animated wallpapers, also building a browser App. In the next update, I will try to implement the Weather App, the animated wallpapers, also building a browser App.
Small update on Notes App I improved some basic functions and also added some new features to the Notes app. Download as .txt: Replaced the old Save-to-filesystem button with a direct browser download that saves notes as plain .txt files. Status bar: Added a status bar at the bottom of the app that indicates current cursor position (Ln/Col) and live word count. GUI cleanup: Removed placeholder text, increased the default window size, and cleaned up the toolbar.
Lock Screen Update I just realized that my OS doesn’t have a lock screen yet, so I decided to make a simple one. But then, I had some problems. The blur effect on the background somehow doesn’t work at all. I had to test each part of my code to find an answer. Thankfully, I found the solution at the end. Anyways, I spent some time on the start screen; I hope you enjoy it!
Dev Log # 4 After approximately 6 hours, I finished another session of improving the OS. This session focused on refining LumiOS’s look and feel. I also added two new apps - Browser and Weather. Overall, this update took me lots of time to fix small details. New Apps: Browser: A searching tool that allows you to search on the web (incomplete) Weather app: Real-time weather tracker using OpenWeather API, showing current and future temperature, visibility, wind, and so on. (Currently only showing New York Weather) Updates on Existing Apps: Widget: Added a weather widget; link the widget to the Weather app. New Features: Visual & Design: Unified color system with accent glow effects. New glass morphism layers. Standardized spacing scale and border radius system. Defined consistent typography sizes, weights, and letter spacing. Added maximizing and minimizing animations. Components: Desktop icons now have a different lift and glow on hover. Buttons and menus use smooth transform feedback. Context menus show accent bars and slide‑in animations. Window controls have larger hit areas and ring hover effects. Start menu and quick settings redesigned with better padding and hover states. Lock Screen: New layout with large time display and username. Added unlock animation. Complete CSS and JS restructure for smoother motion. Taskbar: Added a search bar that lets you quickly find and open specific apps. Taskbar buttons have scale and glow animations. Challenges solved: When I tried adding new ideas to enhance the overall visual appeal, I encountered a serious issue: the overlay system and window management stopped working again. The wallpaper no longer aligned with the desktop, and the window dragging function broke as well. I started looking for the problem but couldn’t find the cause, so I decided to restore everything and proceed more carefully. Bugs: The browser app is not working. It loaded external websites directly inside an iframe. Many sites block being embedded through CSP or X-Frame-Options, so the page often stayed blank, or the navigation controls stopped working. I tried loading external sites directly in an iframe, which does not work. I also tried routing page loads through the local proxy, but the app still depends on websites that often block embedding. Future Plan: Fixing the browser app will be the first thing I do in the future. I will also try to add micro-interactions such as window snapping.
Ships:
I created a web‑based operating system that focuses on being light-weight, functional, and visually appealing. One of the biggest challenges I faced was building the window management system. I had to spend some time watching YouTube tutorials, reading different websites, and studying other webOS projects before finally getting it to work. I am proud of the UI I made, which includes transparent and gradient windows, widgets, and taskbars. I did use some AI for this part since I ran out of ideas and didn’t know what to do. Overall, my goal is to create an OS that people genuinely enjoy using, and I’ll try my best to keep this project up!
Through the last few days, I kept on working on my project — a webOS. I focused on creating a cool, joyful, and especially user‑friendly experience. I improved old apps such as Clock, Terminal, Files, and so on by adding real OS functions to increase their practicality. Moreover, I added a new app — “Paint,” which allows the user to draw freely on a canvas with various tools. In addition, I added a system tray on the taskbar that lets the user change more settings. One of the challenges is the theme. It’s hard to combine multiple settings (dark/light mode, accent color, etc.) using CSS custom properties without conflicts. I’m not good at CSS, so I failed here many times, especially with z‑index. Also, ensuring the accent color propagates to all UI components is difficult as well. I needed to use some AI here to make sure I didn’t forget anything. Another challenging part is cross‑app communication. Opening .txt files with the Notes app requires some tough work, as well as opening other apps from the Widgets app. To test it, visit: https://lxtimer.github.io/LumiOS/ , or clone the repo to run locally....

spent the session debugging task execution flow - users were getting stuck on the “executing” page. turned out to be a routing issue after the api call completed. fixed the navigation and now tasks flow through smoothly from submission to results. also deployed the whole thing to vercel so it’s actually live and working with real results. copy and download buttons are fully functional. ready for people to start using it.
added supabase integration so tasks actually persist. implemented rate limiting (5 req/min per IP) to prevent abuse. built out an 8-template system with optimized prompts for common workflows (business plans, landing pages, marketing strategies, etc). added keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+K to open quick task search) because power users deserve fast access. implemented result modal for viewing full results without scrolling. settings now persist to localStorage so user preferences stick around. updated all dashboard pages to pull real data from the database instead of hardcoded samples. everything still works without a database configured, it just gracefully degrades.the app went from “works but doesn’t persist anything” to “production-grade SaaS with templates, shortcuts, and data persistence.” still under 10kb of production bundle js. no bloat. everything has a reason for existing.
built an AI execution engine. you describe what you need, it gives you professional results in seconds. rewrote the README to sound human (last one looked AI-generated). fixed UI readability, added progress bars, implemented retry logic for API stability. it’s live at oneshot-chi-nine.vercel.app and actually works. and my vercel kept deploying my old deployments so fixing that took me a long time i also added a progress bar feature so users dont get stuck on the screen showing nothing and yea some of the previous buttons weren’t working or were glitched so i fixed those too.

Frutiger OS Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 0 I implemented the basic steps from the tutorial, though since i didnt like some of the solutions i designed a lot of things to be more modular and future proof, let the video speak for itself. Its been quite fun so far, especially playing with the different css elements of the frutiger aesthetic.
Frutiger OS Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 1 In this devlog i developen my first proper app, its basically a simple notepad, i developed my own system for app creation in css so i can easily add different sizes of windows, sidebars, topbars, buttons exct. and reuse them all. Its still a little rought around the edges and i might need to start handling the performance issue, since the css blur is pretty resource intensive, but we will see what happens.

I also created a new settings/control panel app which was pretty quick using the css classes made in last devlog. If you wanna try it out, its avalible at - https://0ndyy.github.io/frutiger-os/
After first failed ship i realised i completelt forgot about me README.md. Im not too sure why its needed since this project cant be voted yet but its good to start earlt righ? You can check it out here - https://github.com/0ndyy/frutiger-os/blob/main/README.md
Frutiger OS Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 3 Today i created a windows 7 inspired working Control Panel app, you can currently -change wallpaper -disable some elements(menubar, taskbar, icons) I really enjoyed tuning some of the CSS components especially buttons and switches(since i implemented the modular system for the main windows in the last devlog) Im stil trying to submit my ship for WebOS 1 but they still wont accept it😭🙏. Appparently it looks like every othe AI slop and has no personality, i really dont understand how could they say something like this, anyway wish me luck.
Frutiger OS (Hexagons) Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 4 I kinda forgot that im supposted to posts devlogs here, but long story short a lot new things happen since last devlog. I created a new logo, you can actually see it in the background, its a knock off of the old windows logo but HEXAGON, because hexagons are the bestagons. I made(found) a paint app, i actually didnt code the whole thing it uses a cool project called JSPaint, check it out - https://jspaint.app/ Which fits the aesthetic i was going for really well.
Frutiger OS (Hexagons) Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 5 For the past week i have been working on bringing the og windows media player skins into my os. It was quite a hassle, but eventually i managed to get a modular system working where i can add more skins in the future(stay tuned). For those who want to know how i pulled this off: there is a website - https://wmpskinsarchive.neocities.org/ with all the og skins in their original .wmz format. As it turns out the .wmz is basically just renamed .zip containing all the assets, although the assets are a mess - there is like 30+ images in .bmp format, some scripts, and magenta masks so you have to manually assemble it in photoshop remove the masks and get it to look good. Then you have to play for a while with your css file to correctly position and scale all of the buttons n stuff and thats it. I dont recommend anyone trying this shi😭 note: the reason some of the songs sound weird is because i used bitmap version not to mess with copyright scanning bots
Frutiger OS (Hexagons) Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 6 For the past couple weeks i havent made much progress since i have been busy with life n stuff, but atleast i managed to make another music player skin. I feel like this one really fits with the whole aquatic/frutiger aero style - what do you think? Some of the time was also spent on making a new games app - stay tuned, hopefully i can finish this in time😭😭 As always, you can try the live demo on the github linked under the project or here - https://github.com/0ndyy/frutiger-os/tree/main
Frutiger OS(Hexagons) Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 7 I finally made the most fun part, games yall. Its basically a parody of xbox, i know some of the games are newer and not from the frutiger era but it still fun to mess around with. The games are saved as .swf files and run through ruffle.
Frutiger OS(Hexagons) Frutiger Aero/y2k aesthetic inspired OS devlog 8(final) This is going to be the final devlog before finally shipping this thing, its been great and i learnt a lot especially how to actually get div where i want it😭 Since ast devlog i added some cool new desktop behaviour, web browser and boot animation, you can check it out all in the final video…
Ships:
Web based OS inspired by the Frutiger Aero aesthetic during 10s. I really enjoyed tweaking the CSS values to get the aesthetic just right, it was really fun and i implemented modular system for easy creation of new apps/elements, so i am planning on expanding this inti WebOS 2. If you want you can try it out here - https://0ndyy.github.io/frutiger-os/
A web-based operating system based on the infamous Frutiger Aero aesthetic of the mid 00s to early 10s. The reason i made this is that im big fan of this era and skeuomorphism, which i feel got killed by minimalism. some of the cool features: -working desktop environment(dragging apps, selection box, time, taskbar, window management…) -nostalgic boot animation and login -old stylized browser with nostalgic websites -og paint and notes programs -the nostalgic frutiger music player skins we all liked(i wasnt alive back then lol) -parody xbox app where you can play some of the popular games from back then I dont know what else to write here if you are interested check out the github readme....

Making the login look better.
I made the text in the background liek more to my liking and i would love to have soem feedback on what you guys think about it. The images also have my current budgets tab and the create budgets popup. I also made it so that when the budgets are still loading there is like a loading animation the gray boxes also like pulse.
Started on the expenses tab. Made it so that when you click on one of the budgets you get set to the expenses tab for that budget.
Started to make the create expenses thing does not work right now. making it work is the next step.
I made the create expense thing work. I also made them diplay in a table at the bottom. I found that after creating an expense, the text remained in the input boxes. To fix this, I cleared the input field state values after the expense was successfully added to the database. By add setName(“”); setAmount(“”); when with the toast. The date part is nto working right now but that is want i am going to do next.
Made the logo
Testing and improvement. I did some test on the budget and expense creation and found out that I had not really made it that full from like you were able to enter negative number and stuff. I also did some testing on how i was going host the website.
I added edit and delete buttons to delete or edit budgets. I also made it so you can press enter in the input sections to make it so that if every thing is right it will add the budget or expense. I also make it so that you can only add numbers and not letter and the number has to be above 0.
Bid some testing. Started to make the dashboard page.
I started to do the learn more section. and make some improvements to the landing page and other part of the website.
Did more of the budget tab and learn more. In the budgets tab I made the animation for the graph and looks of the graph a lot better. I also did some Boundary testing for the graph. I also went through and made sure that everything was smaller screen compatible/ easily usable. Love to hear your thoughts.
Finished the dashboard page on the website. I decided to make it display the Total Budgets, Total Spent, No. of Budgets, Activity, Budgets, and Expenses. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
I also came across the bug that if you had no budgets created the skeleton loader would still show. This happen because the code was just checking if there was more then 0 budget or not. I changed it to stop after the website had connected with the data base.
I found out that if you changed the number and the end of the link when you were in one of the budget’s expenses tab you can access other peoples’ data and edit it. This is a big privacy breach and makes my website not very secure so I fixed it.
I did some testing to make sure everything was nice and worked well on different screen sizes. I also hosted it on vercel. I also made some over all improvement to the layout of the code. I also made my own logo in illustrator
Fixed some different device size display bugs.

The solution was to use dynamic memory allocation with malloc . For a dynamic 2D map, this is done in two steps: first, allocate an array of pointers (one for each row), then allocate each row individually. char ** lab = malloc ( rows * sizeof ( char * )); for ( int i = 0 ; i < rows ; i ++ ) { lab [ i ] = malloc ( columns * sizeof ( char )); } The eh_obstaculo function, which previously had the entire maze hardcoded inside it, became much simpler.

The parent array, for example, became an int *** because each cell stores a pair of coordinates (x, y) representing its parent, which adds another level of indirection. In the end, the program asks the user for the number of rows and columns, reads the map line by line, runs the BFS using these dynamic structures, and finally frees all allocated memory with free , including the parent array, which has to be released from the innermost allocations outward because of its three levels of allocation.

I built a C program that simulates a robot automatically finding its path through a 10x10 maze using BFS (Breadth-First Search), with a step-by-step terminal animation.

The path reconstruction was also tricky since BFS gives you the path backwards, so I had to reverse it before animating.

Ships:
I have created a card game inspired by Scoundrel. The most challenging part was managing a large amount of interactions between cards and making the game visually appealing.
In this ship, I have addressed commonly reported game issues and bugs. Additionally, I refactored the messiest parts of the codebase to improve to improve maintainability and introduced several UX enhancements. Resolved common community-reported issues and glitches Refactored core legacy sections for cleaner and more robust code Added dynamic screenshake effects Implemented popup numbers (combat/damage indicators) Added an in-game tutorial system More detailed info can be found in git log history...

Worked on the Welcome page. I also added a topbar. Additionally, the window can close and later opened by clicking on “Welcome!”.
I worked on making my OS look a bit better and added an application that shows you the live position of planets in our solar system. It took me a while to find some sort of API that will give the data for it, but I managed to get the inner planets for now!
I added a notes app! The notes app has a launcher that currently allows you to perform three functions. You can create a new document, save that document, and then load the most recent save. I also added all the planets in my live solar system diagram, and locked the zoom so you don’t zoom out too much and lose the solar system.
Added a calculator that has conversions as well. Currently, it can convert from Miles to Kilometers and Fahrenheit to Celsius (and vice versa). I also added a simple racing game to the OS where you can set a lap time!
I kind of forgot to log some of my time, but I added a few more features to EpicOS! New Weather App!!

Initalized project. TODO: Everything.
Added some rudimentary parsing. None of it does anything rn but it will at some point.
I rewrote parsing to use structs because structs are cool.
I added some parsing for validity testing. The dumb part is that I still can’t parse messages fully because the MIDI standard can’t just use u32’s noooo they have to be soooooo fancy and use variable length quantities that are a headache to parse because they decided to do junk with raw bits for no reason other than to give midi player dev’s headaches and save a whopping 200 bytes in the file I’m working with (the song is straight fire tho). Oh yea I also added an ImHex project file bcs I’m not working with the MIDI docs because those get way to technical.
I am parsing VLQ’s now!
More parsing. None of it actually works for now.
I corrected indexing.
Made some stuff make more sense to the programmer.
Added some debug logging to assist with debugging!
Apparently this is about to get more compicated…
I added some more data types, still cant parse yet tho
I re-implemented VLQ’s as a struct because midi is meen
We playin spot the difference with indices now.
Basically started to rewrite the entire project. TL;DR the Midi spec is a horribly built spec by modern standards, so I had the bright idea of make smth new. (I HAD SPECIFIC PERMISSION FROM RUPNIL TO DO THIS PLEASE DONT SLIME ME HERES A LINK TO THE THREAD FOR PROOF: https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0APH2MMHH7/p1784221925675859 )
It almost works, then I will work on a ui-ish thing.
Rewrite the callback and run cargo fmt.
Made it play for the length of the song, added some logging, and a page enum.
Switched to Symphonia because FLAC audio is broken in Creak. At the moment the new implementation doesn’t function…
It functions now. Yaey. Symphonia is complicated. I can now play songs with this. Next up: I struggle with some sort of UI thing to make a UI for it.
Mess around with feature flags and add some stuff to the README.
Some smol optimizations
I seperated some stuff into other files and started on the ui stuff with some basic boilerplate. It now doesn’t work again because I need to figure out how to use mutexes.
It plays now. I figure out gow to use the lock helper so I don’t have to screw around with mutexes and ownership and the like and still pause. Yay.
Devlogging now because an electrical storm is nearby and I need to turn off my pc; basically just started to work on the ui. This one is not going to work so don’t build .
The UI kind of works now, working on writing the about page. I still need to write the player code and page and what not, I will delegate this to a helper thread.
It kind of works… you need a file named sans.ogg in you music folder but nontheless it works. I still need a proper ui tho lol.
Async is actually async now.
File explorer, playing thing from music folder, another archetecture redo, and a whole lot more.
UI!!!!! I can use this kind of it still needs to be able to pause but it can resonably be considered an audio player now! This is so tiring but at least I can say that I’ve made something now.
I am working on controls for the UI and them functioning. Making the elements focus right will be a pain. Well at least I’m in the home stretch. Unless of course I choose to split the backend of a crate… Meh I probably won’t do it.
I’m almost done. I programmed in controls and repeating a folder of music (so basically playlists). It just repeats it in the displayed order so keep that in mind.
Probably the last devlog before Ship 1; I removed volume from the player because it just ate up memory and cpu cycles, and ran cargo fmt and cargo clippy for good measure. It’s pretty much done now.
I basically added rewinding and fast-forwarding. I also made the button unfocus with the window. I will ship soon™️
Fixes. I ran cargo clippy, added some v2 ideas, and generally cleaned up and optimized the code. Bumped version to v1.1.0 because the cargo overlords demand it, and also changed the controls thingy.
commiting now because its time for bed now. I am working on configuration. you know, custom themes, hiding the control bar, and the like. [EDIT]: IT DOESNT ACTUALLY PARSE THEM YET AND ITS BROKEN ANYWAY THIS COMMIT DOES NOT WORK
The configuration update, make your own blindingly bright and eye-watering theme for GLAP today! (I did not put any restrictions on the theme, kinda almost but still might not work in terminal.app)
Made the controls better and remove a dependency. I also did some other stuff I am too tired to get into.
Added a lot to the README.md because it needs better documentation of features, also added file filtering.
Removed the about page that the ratings made apparent that no one read and started to add a settings page. I mean it has nothing at all.
Added settings page and very wisely used unsafe code to squish the sample playing loop, next up we have to address sample parsing since that can take a bit in prod. I will figure it out soon.
Ran cargo fmt and spent an hour making sure that the playback is gapless and that my unsafe code wasn’t corrupting the memory. Also added a debug launch.json for vscode / vscodium users trying to debug it.
I added a duration counter. It’s in seconds. No I’m not formatting it.
I did some general stability improvments and added error handling for the config (thanks @tkrl for bringing that to light).
Bump version, and do a boatload of under-the-hood microoptimizations and horribly unreadable code paired with next-to-no docs.
Added some doc comments because I plan to at some point have the audio-handling junk in a seperate crate so you can staple a frontend onto it. Okie now I can do v2.0
22 mins of trying and failing to convert it to sdl3. sdl2 forever
Ships:
I basically made a TUI music player app in Rust, in the process learning how structs, ownership, threads, callbacks, and a bunch of other Rust things work. The hardest part was setting up the state handling. I am really proud of how this ended up.
I added configuration. I learned how serialization and deserialization work. I also learned how to document things. Thanks for everyone that helped with my project. Here’s an example theme to get you started with theming ([PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPISY WARNING]; also it doesn’t work on terminal.app because Apple is mean): [ theme ] background = "#b8d60e" foreground = "#ff00ff" controls = "#5f4808" playbar = "#00fff2"...

Operating out of the symbolic nodes of Mount Kailash, MythicOS serves as a conceptual workspace environment designed to monitor data planes, manage cosmic records, and explore dynamic realms across coordinates. Building an entire windowing environment inside a flat web browser came with unique architectural hurdles, specifically managing multi-state window configurations, prioritizing global display z-index depth stacking, and converting standard hardware APIs—like webcam video streams—into thematic native modules like the Sanjaya Drishti Lens without disrupting pure CSS layouts. I am incredibly proud of achieving a highly responsive, vanilla frontend architecture that delivers heavy glassmorphism, fluid drag mechanics, and real-time state data persistence in the Akashic Records without a single external library dependency. To fully test the environment, I highly recommend launching the application nodes from the bottom tray dock, opening The Divya Sight to enter dynamic search keyphrases like ganita or drishti, and altering the plane tapestry via the Dharma Laws configuration layer to watch the workspace interface fluidly adapt in real-time.
MythicOS is a creative web project that looks and acts just like a real computer desktop, built entirely inside a website using standard web code. Instead of standard, modern names, the entire system uses a fun fantasy theme filled with magical terms, turning regular apps into things like “Ancient Scrolls” (Notes) and the “Sigil Forge” (Printer). The project features a fully interactive layout where you can open multiple apps at the same time, drag windows around your screen by their header bars, and launch programs from a sleek dock at the bottom of the screen that swells in size when your mouse hovers over it. Behind the scenes, the project packs in a lot of working features: you can type and edit text files inside a mock file manager, use a grid-based calculator to solve math equations, browse incoming fake emails, write and “send” out replies, and use a music player that can play tracks, track timestamps, and skip songs. It even includes an interactive settings panel that lets you swap out the background wallpaper, and it automatically saves your favorite background to the browser’s memory so your desktop looks exactly how you left it whenever you return to the website....

The model itself was trained in PyTorch using MFCCs, spectral features, and DTW comparisons against multiple good chanting recordings. The problem was that the .pt model couldn’t just be dropped into a website, so I had to export everything to ONNX and basically rebuild the preprocessing pipeline in JavaScript so the browser could generate the same kind of audio features from a recording. I also changed how I stored the scaler data by putting the normalization values into the .npz files, then wrote the JavaScript to load the model, scaler, reference audio, process the recording, calculate the features, and pass everything through the ONNX model. There were a bunch of stupid issues along the way too, including the ONNX runtime conflicting with a variable in my JS and the scaler data not loading correctly lol. After all of that I added the actual score display to the site, so the recording can go through the whole pipeline and come back as a pronunciation score out of 100. This took way longer than I expected lol, but I finally got it working.

While they worked well enough for testing and practicing verses, they did not really feel like a finished Nintendo Switch application. As I continued working on the project, I decided it was time to build a proper interface. I started by experimenting with a few graphics libraries, but that quickly became frustrating due to dependency problems, linker errors, and build issues that consumed far more development time than expected.

One of the most important improvements from this change was proper Unicode support. Earlier versions struggled with Sanskrit transliteration characters, often displaying missing glyphs, incorrect symbols, or unreadable text. The new rendering system finally allowed me to render Unicode properly, which means verses and prompts can now appear correctly on screen. During the process I also redesigned the entire user interface, added larger text, created menu screens, introduced animated backgrounds, improved readability, added color-coded sections, and included a “Made by Aashvik Goel” credit within the application. Looking back, the difference between the original terminal version and the new interface is much larger than I expected when I first started making changes. The audio system also received significant improvements during this update.

Another major focus was testing on actual hardware rather than relying entirely on emulation. Although Ryujinx was extremely useful throughout development, I regularly installed builds directly onto my Nintendo Switch to verify that rendering, controls, performance, and audio behaved correctly on the real device. This helped uncover issues that would have been easy to miss in an emulator and made the project feel much more like a genuine homebrew application.

I made a landing page for the website! I tried to make my own css but it looked kinda ahh so i ended up using a mixture of ChatGPT and Gemini to make the effects look way better.

I also added my own screenshots to the website so people could actually see what it looks like instead of just reading about it.

After i finished everything, i used git to upload all of the code to github so i could keep track of my changes and have it all backed up. Thats pretty much everything i worked on for the landing page!
Final Devlog! Hi! whats up? So basically, I worked on the website and worked on rewriting it in my style because I used way too much AI for the last one, so it seemed vibecoded. I started out with a really basic page and slowly added more css. I chose a paper brown color scheme for the UI bc i think it fits the Bhagavad Gita app idea better. I also spent a while practicing css and finally understand flexbox. here are the things i added: navbar hack club flag that waves around chinmaya mission logo hover animations gameplay section with a youtube video minimalist layout i made the hack club logo wave constantly, then stop and get a little bigger when you hover over it. that was fun. Thats all! I also wanted to thank and give Chinmaya Mission credit for the audio recordings. (They didn’t even want recognition!)
Devlog Update Today I worked on the browser version of Anukrama. i added: A browser demo at game.html GitHub-hosted verse data using the meta , verses , and audio folders Devanagari support in the browser Automatic prompt audio Special handling for Verse 1 since it has no prompt Audio fade-outs when switching verses quickly Fade animations between game states i also updated the landing page with a Try Browser Demo button. i added a short explanation of what the Bhagavad Gita is, including a comparison to the Bible to help people unfamiliar with Hinduism understand it. i might need to fix the landing page css because the buttons look a bit squished also, i learned how to type in markdown recently so tell me if u have any advice! :)
AI Pronunciation Model I worked on the AI pronunciation system for Anukrama! I used PyTorch to train models that compare your chanting to good reference recordings and give u a score out of 100. I made models for Verse 1 and Verse 2 using things like MFCCs and DTW. The models are trained, but I need way more data because there isn’t really a big dataset of Bhagavad Gita chanting recordings. I still need to record a lot of the data myself. I haven’t added the AI to the website yet. If u wanna help me record data for the model, pls DM me ( @aashvik )!
Final update/devlog !!!! I finally finished integrating the AI pronunciation system into Anukrama. This ended up being way more complicated than I originally thought. The model itself was trained in PyTorch using MFCCs, spectral features, and DTW comparisons against multiple good chanting recordings. The problem was that the .pt model couldn’t just be dropped into a website, so I had to export everything to ONNX and basically rebuild the preprocessing pipeline in JavaScript so the browser could generate the same kind of audio features from a recording. I also changed how I stored the scaler data by putting the normalization values into the .npz files, then wrote the JavaScript to load the model, scaler, reference audio, process the recording, calculate the features, and pass everything through the ONNX model. There were a bunch of stupid issues along the way too, including the ONNX runtime conflicting with a variable in my JS and the scaler data not loading correctly lol. After all of that I added the actual score display to the site, so the recording can go through the whole pipeline and come back as a pronunciation score out of 100. This took way longer than I expected lol, but I finally got it working. This is prob the end of this project!!!!
Ships:
Anukrama is a nintendo Switch homebrew app that helps people memorize and practice chanting Bhagavad Gita verses. It gives you the previous quarter of a verse as a clue, and you have to chant the next part from memory. Right now it includes all 20 verses of Chapter 15 with audio prompts and easy controller navigation. The biggest challenge was getting the audio system and verse progression working smoothly on the Switch. I also spent a lot of time organizing the verse metadata and making everything load quickly. Thanks for following my journey!
What did you make? Anukrama is a gita chapter 15 chanting game where you get part of a verse and try to chant the rest. I also made an ai that scores your chanting. What was challenging? Getting the ai running in the browser was the hardest part. I had to move the pytorch model to onnx and recreate the audio processing in JavaScript. What are you proud of? Prob getting the entire ai pipeline working in the actual website. It literally took most of my time and I couldn’t get it to work for like an hour :sob-spin: What should people know when testing? The AI is meant to mainly be a gimmick in beta. It’s only based on around 30 recordings per verse because there is absolutely no gita chanting data. You should test without bg noise and actually chant the verse if u want the best results....

It basically took what I wrote, made them more organized, and made the connections. It is more than likely that the AI added a few of lines itself. Alongside that, I used AI to COMPLETELY make a terminal system using xterm.js(node module). The reason is, xterm has one of the worst and most incomplete documentations I ever saw. I really couldn’t make it myself after three tries. And finally, I used AI to make a package installation/launching system, as that would lead me into parts of Java/Type Script that I previously had no experience with. I am still trying to learn how to make it myself, however. I am very sorry for the heavy usage of AI. This is a very niche project that you can not find a lot of information for.

Bootstrap is reaching completion, which will bring us to the next step: display.

It will be the connectiong between users, database, and developers. User <--> Database <--> Developer Meaning dev’s will be able to publish packages, and user’s will be able to download them!

I made: A bootstrap, which initializes every service necessary for modOS runtime. Basic system. Firebase!!! Jeez, why did it take 7 hours? Well, my friend, modOS is completely modular. So there is a bit of contradiction when I need to make a bootstrap that launches things, if there is no things . I worked on making a placeholder for almost everything. Core Idea modOS will be just like any other Linux distribution. You have the base system that gives you whatever you need. And you install user-generated content with a package manager!

Before I nerd out about everything added, here is more information about Mor ve Ötesi , the band behind Cambaz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mor_ve_%C3%B6tesi Why is modOS different? Well, throughout the path of following the guide and making modOS, I completely rejected the idea of a hard-coded anything. Sure, it might be open-source, but what is the point of open-source if changing the source is going to take many hours of coding? modOS competes against a permanent webOS. The following features highlight how modOS achieves that: modOS does not have any hard-coded applications, bar, desktop, etc. Every app is found in a JSON file (apps.json located in /base/system/) which can be modified to install any application you want, easily! Currently this step is manual, and there is no official repository of verified applications. However, that is subject to change. Bartender (the bar system of modOS) is a JavaScript file (bartender.js found in /base/system/bartender.js) which can be modified to make the bar whatever you want! WER (Window Manager for modOS) is a script that inserts window functions such as the minimize and close buttons alongside the name of the window, icon, and movement system. The whole script is launched with initwindow(win) where win is the main window element. Got confused with the initwindow(win) command? Not to worry, modOS comes with the exec command, which follows the format exec(appname, icon) , where you can determine the name of the application ( REQUIRED ) and its icon ( NOT REQUIRED ). Whenever the command is run, the script ( exec.js found in /base/system/ ) looks through apps.json and pulls the necessary content and scripts, giving you a fully functional app. Note: If you decide to use a custom icon with an existing app, exec.js will still use the icon used in the database to maintain the developers creativity! So are you even more lazy? Cuz modOS desktop shows every app in apps.json for easier access. All you need is the ability to double click the app you want! Note: Psst! There are hidden applications. You need to run showhidden() to show them, and hidehidden() if you would like to hide them back. You can customize modOS off of the base CSS by editing config.css (config.css found in /system/user/) Default Applications List App Template: It is a template for you to make your own app! (hidden by default) run: An alternative for the developer console that comes with modern browsers. A great option for mobile users or older, unsupported browsers. Release Notes: Your updated news for modOS! Theme Song: The theme song of modOS! Plays Cambaz by Mor ve Ötesi. Future Updates A signup/login system is planned to be added for cross-platform sync ability (e.g. apps, settings, customizations, etc). This will be optional and you can still use modOS as a guest. modOS developer mode: A way for you to build applications for you and others on modOS! Window minimization: Currently, windows do get minimized. However, you really cannot un-minimize them without running the command document.querySelector(\".win\").style.display=\"block\" , which is unreliable and annoying. More applications: You will use modOS developer mode to develop applications for the ecosystem. No more work for me."}, {"post_id": 18381, "ts": "2026-06-29T14:53:03Z", "hours": 7.1789, "text": "A Big Jump [Dev Post 3] Here is an update of what I’ve been working on over the weekend. And there is a lot! Window Movement I followed the guide to make windows movable. However, there was a challenge. Challenge If I want to make modOS modular, how could I identify user-made windows? The guide showed a hard-coded movement system, but that would mean other people couldn’t make their own apps! Solution I used .querySelector to give every window of the same class movement functionality while keeping each instance separate. This means no matter how many windows of the same app you make, they’ll all be movable! So yes, you could have 30 copies of the same ping pong app ( not on modOS… yet ) and every window would work normally. Account Feature (Still in Progress) This is mainly what took most of the 7 hours I logged today. What was used? I used Firebase to establish a backend where user info would be stored. The info consists of a username, password, and user data. The first two are self-explanatory, but the data will store user changes to their OS so they can jump back in where they left off. Challenges The account creation script should theoretically work. However, I didn’t build the project around a package manager. Firebase works much better with one, meaning the project would need to be migrated to a framework like Vite. Solution There is a solution: create a new repository with Vite installed, then move everything over. I really didn’t want to deal with that right now, so the account feature will be implemented once the base build of modOS is complete. App Launching You can now use a terminal interface to launch apps! Challenges To keep apps modular while still being… apps, I couldn’t just say “open this app.” I needed users to be able to define a preferred name, icon, and content. The first two were easy, but I also needed a list of apps and their content. This way, future modOS developers can publish their applications to the modOS environment. Solution There is now an apps.json file with a full list of apps ( 1 app right now ). Whenever you launch an app via exec(name, icon) from the Dev Console, it checks whether the app exists in the JSON file and, if it does, fetches its corresponding content. A Step Towards Modular… modOS is officially MODULAR ! What is modular as of now? Many things! I scratched the modular clock idea from the previous Dev Post… AND REPLACED IT WITH A COMPLETELY MODULAR BAR!!! So now the entire bar is modular. :) Apps are now modular too! You can launch any app via exec(name, icon) in the Dev Console (often opened with F12) to render a new window with your preferred name and icon. The clock idea was scratched… BUT THE CLOCK ITSELF IS STILL MODULAR! Challenges Making things modular takes a lot of time. You don’t just write your program in HTML anymore—you have to generate it through JavaScript. To make it modular, individual variables need to go through their own processes before everything connects together. And of course… that usually comes with a bug or two. Solution Uh… yeah, that was the challenge. Doesn’t really need a solution. Releases From now on, every new release will be named after a song from a 2000s Turkish Alternative Rock band. The next major release will be called: modOS v0.x.x-alpha [Mor Ve Ötesi - Cambaz] Make sure you give it a listen. It’s a banger! Final Thoughts I think the project is going very well.

The End..? [Dev Post 4] With the guide finally being done, I announce modOS v1.0.0 Cambaz .

Announcing modOS Sevda Çiçeği Concept After completing the pretty underdeveloped modOS Cambaz, I think it is time we move on to a full, stable, environment. Plans for modOS Sevda Çiçeği: A fully modular webOS where you can change everything from the window rules to the very development environment. A package manager for distributing, installing, and managing user created packages. A full modOS API for consistency and compatibality. And MANY more. Here is a checklist/roadmap for modOS that you can follow as I check off the tasks: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H7caegzGowVeYkntmm87eaJ8XJtSyU1Pbvb5vVNmgYI/edit?usp=sharing Logged hours for this dev post come from earlier bug fixes and polishing to modOS Cambaz alongside the making of modOS Sevda Çiçeği
A New Beginning [Dev Post 5] Here is what I got done ever since I announced modOS Sevda Çiçeği! git init So we now have modOS-VT as a GitHub repository. It’s pretty cool. VT stands for Vite Type, indicating how the project utilizes Vite and TypeScript instead of just html and javascript. What is made? I made: A bootstrap, which initializes every service necessary for modOS runtime. Basic system. Firebase!!! Jeez, why did it take 7 hours? Well, my friend, modOS is completely modular. So there is a bit of contradiction when I need to make a bootstrap that launches things, if there is no things . I worked on making a placeholder for almost everything. Core Idea modOS will be just like any other Linux distribution. You have the base system that gives you whatever you need. And you install user-generated content with a package manager! It will be so cool! But right now, I am still working on making the base system part. PSST! Do you want to contribute to modOS by making an app for it? Well you absolutely can! Right now it’s a bit difficult as there is no modOS . However, you can develop applications using typescript any time! Later modOS versions will come with API’s that you can integrate your app into the modOS ecosystem. Challenges The main challenge was getting started with modOS… again… but when I did start, it starts flowing like butter. What I LOVE about modOS right now: Because modOS-VT is built on Vite, I can use packages and make it easier to use with GitHub pages! I did not have to make 15 commits for a bug fix while setting up GitHub pages! Final Regards Thank you. :)
Longer Yet Shorter [Dev Post 6] After some long work, modOS is finally getting easier to get done. But it’s not done just yet. What is new? modOS now has some basic API’s, which will be used in the future by developers to make applications that can be fully integrated into the ecosystem. Bootstrap is reaching completion, which will bring us to the next step: display. We also have one of the most important functions of an OS, file management! modOS utilizes zenfs/core to store files and folders(alongside their structure) in memory! This will allow the creation of file explorers, document making, and more! This is also a crucial piece to make a modular OS. What is needed? modOS still needs some more API’s, most which will come from packages. Due to that, the next dev post should be of packer, the official package manager for modOS. It will be the connectiong between users, database, and developers. User <--> Database <--> Developer Meaning dev’s will be able to publish packages, and user’s will be able to download them! And finally, we need an account session thingy to keep track of each user’s installed packages. This also will allow the usage of YOUR modOS anywhere! Final Regards pretty cool
Tada! modOS-VT is SO close to being done! I feel it! Disclaimers AI was heavily used at this point of the project. The reason is that the code was starting to get very messy(and not cool looking), which is why I asked AI to REORGANIZE the code. It basically took what I wrote, made them more organized, and made the connections. It is more than likely that the AI added a few of lines itself. Alongside that, I used AI to COMPLETELY make a terminal system using xterm.js(node module). The reason is, xterm has one of the worst and most incomplete documentations I ever saw. I really couldn’t make it myself after three tries. And finally, I used AI to make a package installation/launching system, as that would lead me into parts of Java/Type Script that I previously had no experience with. I am still trying to learn how to make it myself, however. I am very sorry for the heavy usage of AI. This is a very niche project that you can not find a lot of information for. I believe the code still meets AI requirements of Stardance. New Additions There is a fully set-up(with a Firebase back end) account management system to signup or login users. There is a guest option for people who just want to try it out! System-wide terminal. It is made so different software can be built on it! Package installation and launching: This is HUGE! This is what was needed to make modOS MODULAR ! New API’s Very cool and clean looking code(developer friendly). Future Updates modOS-VT will be rebranded to just modOS. There will be some base packages that are needed to make. A README.md for developers with the instructions on making a package. And yeah that is what’s left for modOS-VT.
BOOYAH! After so long, we finally have VISUAL IMPROVEMENT!!! Before we start, I would appreciate if y’all followed modOS! Link: modos.krambo.space New Additions: You can now install(via packer get) or remove(via packer remove) ANY PACKAGE(from existing directory, use packer fetch for a list) You get some propriety software for modOS so it is easier for you to do stuff :) Package delivered commands! Developers can implement their own commands and API’s to the modOS ecosystem! API integration into packages Dependencies work flow modOS-VT has officially been made modOS, with the original being retired under modOS-pre. It will be removed from GitHub soon. And MANY more minor updates! Things that are needed to be fixed Guest option does not work, special rules needed to be implemented. packer.get API blindly makes a new blob file every time it is used(potential memory leak) There is no settings feature(yet), so the accounts are pretty useless rn. Sorry. And yeah that’s it to my knowledge DEVELOPERS!!! You can officially use the modOS API to make an application for the modOS ecosystem! Sadly, we do not have any documentation, but you can see the existing packages I made for reference, I tried my best to make it easy on y’all! https://github.com/krambo345/krambools/tree/master Publishing If you are a developer that made an application for modOS(tysm!), there sadly is no official way to register the application to modOS(yet!). It is still being implemented. Please hold on to your application until there is a method. Follow this project to be updated for when it is implemented! Thank you! Disclaimers: AI has been heavily used in this part of the project due to the advanced levels of TS used(that I can’t do myself). In my defense, this is the first project I ever made using TypeScript and Vite. Almost every new feature exposes me to another new thing(and problem) to learn!
Adding stuff As of now, modOS comes with pre-installed packages to get you, the user, started. These include terminal, desktop, bartender, wer(window manager), editor, and more! With these packages you can install more packages(that do not exist yet). Do you want to be a developer? modOS is made to be one of the most developer friendly webOS’s out there! With over 10 different API’s, you can build applications that are easily integrated into the system. You can check out the source code of each package I made for modOS via first, finding the package with ls packages (in terminal) and then reading them with cat packages/PACKAGE (also in terminal)! oooor just go to the krambools github repository https://github.com/krambo345/krambools Bootstrap recovery Bootstrap works right now, for me. However, if anyone else gets errors while booting modOS, they will have the opportunity to repair it via bootstrap recovery that is presented upon failure. link due to a situation, i can not put modOS link to the information. use this link to access modOS: https://modos.krambo.space Thank yall
A Path to Stable From the previous… and unsuccessful ship… I learned many things that could improve modOS(other than a temporary Firebase bug🙄) First of all, there were a lot of bugs. A plenty of the time reported on this devlog are from bug fixing. Secondly, seems like people want to be able to customize the preinstalled system. So I have been working on a settings package to allow managing your account and CUSTOMIZING your system! DISCOVERY❗! Apperiantly, because modOS is modular by design, and because you can import packages, and because you can edit those packages, it turns out app development in the sense of an IDE is by design built in to modOS! With this, I was able to resolve many package related bugs running in a live environment, and even build packages! This will be utilized even more to hopefully make a full modern IDE package for anyone to use and build packages!!! Check out the video below for demonstration! I am looking for ideas, so please hit me up with some!
SO MUCH BETTER! modOS is now more than just a template for your OS. It now makes it easier to template your own web OS! New Additions Settings package Splash Screen(you can turn it off in settings!) Saving settings 💾 Uses With these new features, your modOS account will officially have a working function. You can open your environment wherever you want. Future Plans Saving installed packages Saving user-made files/folders(There is already a immature version, however it does not work). Package development IDE. Customized Splash Screen Notification Daemon D-Bus Events 😟 Problems That Occured Resetting custom CSS. New user check(supposed to work. literally no reason it should not) Send Recommendations/Suggestions Sorry for excess use of EMOJIS they are fun
Ships:
Welcome to modOS v1.0.0 Cambaz. It is a full webOS that comes with the basics of a computer. This full (almost) stable release is modular, flexible, and heavily optimized to up stand multiple situations. There were many challenges when it came to converting what I did from the guide into a modular system. It came with many problems, errors, lack of sleep, so on and so forth. Thanks to Lil ’G(PT), I was able to automate small tasks like converting HTML apps to a format that could be published in JSON. Features of modOS Cambaz: A fully modular system, with the ability to publish your own JS files with others. A small “terminal” named run. Package/App manager. Bartender(the bar of modOS) WER (Window Manager of modOS) Automated system set up. Developer friendly design. An aesthetic that combines 2000s retro and today’s modern. From here, the future releases of modOS will focus on making a full, complete package manager which makes distributing and receiving applications across modOS more easy. NOTE: In order to use many of the special features of modOS, you have to download and run modOS locally on your device. The picture shows what you would get in an out-of-the-box experience.
modOS Sevda Çiçeği: A fully open-source, modular, and multi-platform webOS. Features: modOS, unlike other webOS projects, has a plentiful of unique features allowing more customization: Modular build. Developer friendly API’s Pre-built desktop Account service And many more! Usage: modOS can be used everywhere by anyone, making it a great option for people on the move. Development: modOS comes with API’s to allow integration and make it easier for developers to make new packages....

This is more like it, just need to add content to the other apps (and another function, I thought of this “Shut down” button that does window.close in JS.
I added window resizing and a music toggle. The former was just a two-line CSS patch surprisingly.
I added a meme “terminal” (not the easiest, but it was fine especially with some AI assistance). The coolest change, however, is that I added my new custom domain! It’s not HTTPS yet (thanks GitHub Pages!), but it shouldn’t matter given you don’t have to input any personal data, and I’ll add it as soon as I can.
Ships:
It’s finally done (I hate HTML/CSS/JavaScript so much this 2h project felt like a 10 hour Flutter project)! I like how the windows turned out, it gives off pre-Liquid Glass macOS vibes.
I added a music player, the ability to resize windows, and a stupid little terminal (because what good is an OS without a terminal?). It was much easier to implement than WebOS 1 since I got the hang of the basic syntax....

I think I pretty much finished my “Art-App”, added the option to click on the images to view them in bigger size, also made custom cursors and added many hyperlinks to my socials - most importantly I discovered animations! Made some slight changes to pretty much everything and added animations everywhere I could haha. I really like how the OS is looking, I have plans to add a new App in which there is Information about Games I worked on and more. lets see how that turns out.
Added the new “Games-App” where all games I’ve worked on are listed with a itch embed, description, images and so on. It took ages writing all of the text, getting the right layout and so on - but I managed to do it. Also made the window change upon grabbing a bit and replaced the placeholder App Icons with new ones I drew - turned out noice in my opinion. I probably did more stuff but I forgot - thanks for reading through all of this
Wrote all of the text and replaced all placeholders, made the readme and also a musicplayer that plays some .oggs that are cc0.

So, I drew Icons for both browser and trashcan, I also redesigned my favicon, still not totally happy with it but it wlll work eventually lol. Then made a browser app, (made some mockups first) where you can check out websites I created. For now it replaces the Music player icon, I will add the music player back asap, but for now it stays like that since I want the music player to be at another spot.
Finally also made the Website usable on mobile and still making it look good. Worked with the @ media screen in css which turned out to be wayy easier than I expected. Even tho I ran into some issues getting cut off the bottom part of my site often due to the mobile navigation button - but managed to fix that too. I think it turned out awesome.
Implementing Feedback So, since I have already shipped this project once - quite some time ago now, I have gotten some reviews and many seem to point out the same issue.

I initially made a basic working webOS using script, html, and css. I got feedback from the hackclub group pretty quickly, but I had to take a break to attend some summer programs and sports camps. After getting back from that, I went right back to work.

Devlogs:
DevLog #1, finished the basics of my WebOS system, nimOS. It’s my first coding project so it took a bit of time to figure everything out and style it how I wanted, but I ended up finishing the clock and date, some stylization, a background image and a regular one, and the ability to drag the window. Looking foward to working on the ability to close out or minimize the windows next, followed with some more stylization with icons and buttons.
DevLog#2, still struggling with code in general, but I managed to add my first app and its own clickable icon, a basic notebook that can save what is written. It was difficult trying to figure out how to make the text box and the draggable window feature work in conjuction with the close button, but I managed alright. I am thinking of adding a simple calculate next. Please let me know what I should add to it or fix, thank you!
DevLog#3, leaned into a different and more contrasting style for the CSS. In addition, I added a calculator app that is fully functioning. Now that all of the code is getting longer it becomes way harder for me to debug properly and quickly, but I find it a lot easier to try and focus specifically on the changes that you made before something went wrong, that way I can go back and see what exactly I coded that might cause an issue to arise. I think this will be my last devlog for this project, and I am going to move into the next part, webOS 2. There I will finish all of the formatting and add a couple more unique apps.
DevLog #4, I had shipped the project and gotten back some great advice about resizing the windows and adding more interesting features into my webOS. So I went to work and added: Resizeable windows, a wallpaper changer, a starting splash screen, a simple little game, draggable icons, a black hole that sucks up any window near it and deletes it and changed up some of the styling. I did encounter a lot of difficulty fixing up nimOS to accomidate these changes, as the icons started to jump around, the splash screen layering didn’t really work at first (neither did the black hole), and it always seemed that when I did in fact finish adding a new feature, I had to spend double the time creating it on debugging it in order to get it to actually work. But I persevered and finally finished. I will be shipping it as soon as possible after this publication.
Ships:
I made a basic working webOS using script, html, and css. I am pretty proud of myself because this is my first coding project ever, so everything was pretty challenging. I would also like to say thank you to the people at Hackclub and their sponsors for making this all possible. For my project, the whole thing is fairly easy to navigate. The red buttons on the top right of each window close them, and the apps reopen them. To reopen the starter window, simply click the nimOS button in the margin at the top left of the screen. Once again, thank you!
Ship #2. I initially made a basic working webOS using script, html, and css. I got feedback from the hackclub group pretty quickly, but I had to take a break to attend some summer programs and sports camps. After getting back from that, I went right back to work. I went and added: resizeable windows, a wallpaper changer, a starting splash screen, a simple little game, draggable icons, a black hole that sucks up any window near it and deletes it and changed up some of the styling. As I said in my last DevLog (number 4), I did encounter a lot of difficulty fixing up nimOS to accomidate these changes, as the icons started to jump around, the splash screen layering didn’t really work at first (neither did the black hole). Lastly, I want to thank whoever is reviewing this and whoever reviewed my last ship, because their advice was really helpful in providing a direction for me to advance next in my project, and inspired me to learn and add more onto nimOS. (P.S. if you don’t see it at first, the black hole is in the bottom left corner of the screen. Also, the game window is resizebale, and if you want a bigger play area you can just make the window bigger.)...

Better calculator The calculator has a few improvements the first being it now has the constants pi and e baked into it. It can also now do square roots and trigonometric functions.

Bugs The implementation for removing the previous answers did not always remove all of the answers and sometimes left the user with answers that shouldn’t be there.

The autocomplete feature did not like the list all expansions feature because the program will refuse to give answer past a certain amount of them to prevent 20 answers being given at once.

Devlogs:
Made a basic looking search bar that opens when you click a little icon in the corner of the screen, doesn’t do anything besides sit there yet. I am using electron and node JS for it.
Added glassy look and made a calculator app for the program. In the end I want an app that is completely transparent except for the results and search bar. Those should be tinted and blurred, but in electron the app I am using it is impossible to make a single element transparent through the apps behind it and blurred. I can do that for elements in my own app. Or the background for the entire app. So the search bar and results bar’s backgrounds are not blurred, which makes them hard to read over text.
I improved the looks slightly improved the functionality of the calculator. I tried for more than half this time to make the blur working unfortunately it does not appear to be possible maybe doing something with JS canvases. But if I have to use something like that the amount of compute time won’t be worth it. So I decided against doing it until there is an easy way to do that.
added conversions to the app and a global shortcut to open the app I decided on Alt+Z for the shortcut because I don’t have that mapped to anything right now and the two keys are physically close to each other. The conversion thing was interesting because there are a lot of different units for the same stuff, miles, inches, cm, km, etc. all measure length. I really did not want to make a table for every possible conversion, so I wrote a function that takes a table with enough conversions and uses that to fill out the blanks. For example if I know the conversion between ft and in and in and cm. I can solve for the conversion between ft and cm.
added a timer to the thing, you also can instead of relying on autodetect to figure out what action you want to take you can say @tool_name instead where tool_name is the tool you are calling
Added a search feature. The feature just looks up what is currently in the search bar. Unfortunately the search feature uses Wikipedia’s API, which does make it much faster, than a bot crawling through google. But is susceptible to misinformation. I don’t think this is a massive problem because I am only taking the first sentence of the article. But I may look into alternatives in the future.
Added settings.json, the ability to open apps, and continued to attempt a frosted glass look. Settings.json will now allow for more customization. The ability to open apps is kind of the whole point its to avoid windows weird search bar thing that’s slow and not great to use. And after doing more looking into the blur effect it looks like the only way to do it is to have some js take screenshots of whats behind the page and then save that png and load it under the transparent thing than use the blur filter but, it seems slow, complicated, and not great for cross platform, so I am still looking for other solutions
I switched to an extension based thing. So anyone can make their own extensions for the app. The picture is of a JSON that has the data for all the extensions at the moment. I tried making the frosted glass look by adding random noise but I was not able to make it work.
Added more settings, added an app opener and added a file explorer. The file explorer and app opener used to be separate but I made them the same to simplify the users experience because I think that is what the application will be used for the most. They both work pretty well the file explorer can only fetch files a limited range of files it can use files in downloads, desktop, documents, music, videos, etc, can’t look for system level files and whatnot though. Added way more settings so you can change what the default tool it should use is if it can’t find a good one to use. Updated the readme for proper credit, and a bunch of other small things. I also made it compatible with several screens.
Added a GitHub and Duckduckgo extension so search does not have to be based on Wikipedia. The GitHub extension is made to quickly search for repos and users, however the API used has somewhat strict rate limits, but for occasional searches it should work fine. The DuckDuckGo or the dgg extention is just a search feature
Changes Made Added autocomplete for which action should be completed and added a music player. All extensions are now properly formatted, and no exceptions are given out. Autocomplete I found it a little difficult to quickly remember and spell out the extensions names but now I only have to type the first few letters and the app will give options for what the extension could be. Music Player Just opens the requested song in YouTube music.
Changes Made: Added an image viewer into the file explorer, added a copy button and improved file explorer functionality File explorer The file explorer now will show a preview image if it the target file is an image. The file explorer can also now take in a folder in which the target file is in and uses a search that allows for skipping folder in case the user forgets a folder inbetween. Copy Btn It just copies the result text into the users clipboard
Changes Made: I added a color picker and allowed for several tools to output at once. Color Picker Can use an eyedropper of the screen behind the interface or select from the color wheel. You can also just write out hex codes or RGB Multiple answers The main process can now handle and may call several extensions at once. The output order is determined by the order the main process calls the extensions, with an exception for asynchronous functions which get resolved upon completion. Still fixing small errors here and there in the system and may make a more intelligent main process
Changes Made: Improved several answers a lot. Added selector for which answer the user wants to interact with. And added a simple settings screen. Settings screen: The settings screen is temporary, but allows users to quickly change and save app settings. Selector: When multiple answers are present one of the answers will be highlighted the user can change which one is highlighted simply using the arrow keys. And when pressing Enter or Tab. They will call that extension. Better multiple answers: The new implementations allows for extensions to better manipulate their specific answer. And gives users a better amount of control through settings over the apps functionality.
Changes Made I did a lot and forgot to make Dev logs. I allow for the user to download extensions made by anyone to add to the website. And added a feature called pipelines. Downloading Extensions Anyone can make an extension and post it on Github, following the correct format if their extension is not listed you can put the username/extension_name in the text box above. When you restart the app the extension should be downloaded. Pipelines Pipelines let users without any code pipe extensions together so If I have a google translate and a search extension I can pipe them together. so that the result of the search is then translated.
Changes Made I finalized details for easy install and using it for the first time. Simple things like improving the functionality with the tray (the bottom right icons). How to use Whenever you want to open it you can either press Alt + Z or open the tray and press the icon see the image below for an example.
Changes made I made a far better readme.md file, and I added documentation for making your own extensions and pipelines Documentation I added very specific documentation for making your own extensions and pipelines. I don’t recommend making your own pipeline, because that is still in early development, but if you don’t have a stardance project yet I would absolutely recommend trying to make your own extension. It is difficult the first time but pretty easy afterwards.
Changes Made I added a list extensions feature, added extension specific settings, and removed a few nasty bugs. List all extensions feature All it does is when you press ? it will list all the extensions and you can just select the one you want from there. Extension Specific settings The settings page used to just have settings for the app now under the extensions tab will have extension specific settings that the dev of the extension can use. Bugs The implementation for removing the previous answers did not always remove all of the answers and sometimes left the user with answers that shouldn’t be there. I did a small rewrite which fixed the issue. The autocomplete feature did not like the list all expansions feature because the program will refuse to give answer past a certain amount of them to prevent 20 answers being given at once. But because the list all feature could expand to that point, the autocomplete feature thought there wasn’t enough room for it. But now I delete the previous answers before creating new ones for autocomplete.
Changes Made Improved fonts and spacing, improved opening apps, shows the icon of the app. I also improved the calculator Improved fonts I was just using the default fonts earlier because I am not very creative, but I decided to change it to Inter and Consolas. Improved app opening Earlier to determine the apps the user has installed as a temporary solution I just scrapped their desktop. But that did not return everything, and I finally fixed it I tried a bunch but the that worked for me was using some commands through power shell. That gets all the apps that windows knows about. The icons Now the program will show the user the icon of the app they want to open. there are three different kinds of app Id’s in windows and I have to assess their photos differently for each, which added alot of complexity and is the whole reason this devlog took so long. Better calculator The calculator has a few improvements the first being it now has the constants pi and e baked into it. It can also now do square roots and trigonometric functions. The trigonometric functions are interesting because they can be done with radians or degrees if the user types sin(90deg) . It will use 90 degrees instead of the default being radians.
Changes Made I added aliases and Improved the search. Aliases Aliases are a user configurable feature that allows the user to type /<Shorthand> which will immediately be turned into some text. For example instead of writing “Google chrome” I can type /google which will be converted to Google Chrome Users can configure as many of these as they want. Improved search On the first ship I got complaints that the search did not always return an answer when asked questions. For example Where is Canada would return an invalid answer whilst Canada returned a valid answer. I added a fallback to make these scenarios less common.
Changes Made I added an auto update code and added metadata to extensions Auto update code Before I added this code a user would have to delete the current code, and reinstall the application from GitHub. However this code will automatically detect and update the app on the users machine. Added metadata to extensions This allows for extensions to give data about them to the extension marketplace giving users a better idea of what they are downloading. Sorry for the lack of videos, it was really a backend change
Changes Made Added start on boot and safer extension marketplace. Start on boot The app will now set itself up so if in settings you enabled start on boot the app will automatically start itself when you boot up your computer. Safer extension marketplace The way extensions work is all the extensions listed have a GitHub repository linked so when the user downloads the extension they download it off the repository, but the developer can change the GitHub repo so after it is accepted as safe the developer can change that without any warning. So now we grab from a specific point on the git tree. However even still the Dev can change the history so we check that the commit hash matches the stored hash meaning the developer cannot change their extension after approval Sorry for the lack of videos again its really a backend change
Changes Made Added an Icon to the app, fixed a hundred different bugs, added a fallback for the duckduckgo extension, and added the extension descriptions to the help menu The icon I added an icon its very simple, and definitely subject to change, but now it does not have the default electron icon in the task bar. Bugs Fixed Changed the codebase to made up of several modules instead of a few giant files (Should have done it a long time ago) Fixed the time formatter for the timer Changed the commit hash of the GitHub extension Changed Priority order Improved Duck duck go extension The duckduckgo extension uses their quick search API, which returns a JSON, in which the answer sometimes is in JSON.abstract and sometimes JSON.relatedTopics[0].text Now the extension looks in both places and returns the most relevant answer. Extension descriptions I recently added descriptions of the extensions in their metadata so now on the help tab you can get small descriptions of each one. Sorry about how their have been no videos but it has all been fixing a lot of small bugs most of which don’t even make it into the dev-log.
Changes Made: I added a linux version, it should work on most distros. I also cleaned up the codebase. The linux version It may not work on all distros I only tested Fedora KDE, but from that test it looks like it functions almost fully however I still need to get the code for global shortcuts updated so that also works on linux. The file should download on most distro’s its an AppImage (the executable), not a .deb file I had one but switched to purely AppImage, soon afterwards, it should not affect the user. Cleaned up codebase All functions and classes now have docstrings, this way I can tell what I wrote the function to do later. I also removed some redundant checks.
Changes Made The app now allows for the user to select what extension they want to call using the mouse, it also has a better GitHub action yml, and finally npm tests Mouse selection Before the app was entirely keyboard driven their was nothing for the mouse to even interact with. I prefer it like this but their is now the option to select extensions with the mouse instead. GitHub actions yml The way I publish the app executable is with GitHub actions I will call an action that compiles the app and publishes the compiled app. But now it will also automatically update the version number so I don’t have to Tests I forgot to make tests for the longest time for this app and I finally realized it so I added them
Changes Made I worked on fixing some bugs for linux, so it should now have support for Wayland. Wayland bug fixes Wayland is an API for accessing the user layer of a linux machine. Quite a few distro’s use Wayland for this however my code was not the most compatible with this so I needed to write a bunch of code so some components work with it. The biggest bug was that the global shortcuts were not registering. Sorry about the lack of video
Changes Made Added a confirmation modal for the extension marketplace, hid the users home path, and Fixed a bunch of bugs. Confirmation Modal I added a modal that warns users against downloading extensions that could be harmful. Hiding the users home directory In the scenario that the user is recording a video or something where they use this app their user name on their computer could have been revealed, which is not good to say the least. Now that is no longer an issue, because we obfuscate the home directory, replacing it with a tilde Bugs The Cancel button on the modal wouldn’t close it. Stuck in the download state when downloading an extension Extension marketplace still showed previously downloaded extensions
Ships:
What is it? Action bar an application that more easily allows for quick actions and allows for users to open apps very easily. Challenges: One of the hardest challenges was allowing the user to make their own extensions and to allow for them to share it with others in the end I managed to make an extension “marketplace” (a bit empty but it works). How To Use: In order to open the application you can press Alt + Z a shortcut that can be configured. Or press the Icon in the bottom right corner. More information in the read me file. Features: This application lets you: quickly open apps Run custom extensions Pipe extensions together.
Version 2. What changed in Version 2: Safer extension marketplace Far better DDG search and app opening functionality Improved calculator Aliases Fixed a lot of small bugs Added the icon of the app you are opening ====================================== What is it? Action bar an application that more easily allows for quick actions and allows for users to open apps very easily. Challenges: I have never coded anything that people other than me actually use, so there is more pressure to sort out the small bugs and improve the UX How To Use: In order to open the application you can press Alt + Z a shortcut that can be configured. Or press the Icon in the bottom right corner. More information in the read me file....
