Devlogs:
Setup vite project and added a notes app. It is a draggable window with title and a textarea to write notes.
Created clock app and some other UI improvements.
Added the photos app where you can view multiple images.
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS. I’ve added analog clock in the clock app. Plus, the photos app is improved also. Now, photos are cycled (when user is on last image, the next button takes to the first image and vice versa)
In this devlog, I want to tell that I’ve updated how the notes app works. Now, you can create multiple notes seamlessly and switch between them using a tab-like interface. Full CRUD functionality is available. Plus, images in the Photos app are cached now, so they load instantly when you scroll through them
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS, in this update, I’ve added an ambient sound mixer app. There are many sound options available, you can play them all at once or any combination you like. And I’ve also added window maximize/minimize feature.
In this devlog, I want to announce a major update to ViteOS: a new global chat app where anyone can connect and talk in real time! I built this application using Supabase. During its development, I learned how Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) works to protect data.

And I have also integrated a unique clock that I created as a side project in November 2025. Hope you will like it.
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS.I have created “Npm Explorer” app where you can search any npm package and view its details. It uses official npm registry for fetching data. Features included in Npm explorer: Package name and description shown at the top left corner. A button for viewing package on npm. Copy the command for installing package. Keywords, dependencies and maintainers displayed. Formatted readme displayed.
Welcome to another devlog of ViteOS. I’ve added a compiler app supporting python and javascript. It uses browser’s built-in WASM (Web Assembly) to run the code and display output.
Introducing “Windows 98” mode. I have made changes in every window, and every element to look exactly like the old UI of windows. You can easily switch between the two modes. It took a lot of time!
Final devlog before shipping. I thought I would complete the project after the previous devlog, but then I got idea of two more apps. And I thought they will be really useful and good. But, as I made my mind to ship after the previous devlog, I didn’t had any motivation to develop these apps (“Browser” and “Storage Lab”) myself, so I developed them using AI. Plus, I have also made all the windows resizable. Hope you will like them.
I have removed two apps that were fully generated by AI, because a stardance project reviewer said that my project mostly looks like AI built it. So, i removed the browser and “storage lab” apps.
Ships:
A WebOS that runs in the browser. Features: Multiple draggable windows. Windows like interface. Notes, Clock and Photos apps available.

Added initial implementation of multiple-section functionality, made images lazyload via loading=“lazy”, and made a few other miscellanious improvements (customized text selection color, added a lightbox border for consistency, probably some more stuff).
Added initial changelog functionality. It loads changelogs from an array, where each changelog is a dict with the content (multiline string), title (string), and date (Date object).
Added more changelogs from the modpack’s internal docs to the site. I plan to work on Markdown functionality for the changelogs next!
Ships:
Made a little personal site with placeholder stuff to refresh my HTML and CSS knowledge! It’s currently a bunch of placeholder links and images but it’s easily customizable.
Ship 2 - customized the site to be focused on my WIP modpack, added various responsibility improvements, and implemented a lightbox....

Rather than relying on a single powerful controller, HiveMind distributes tasks, communication, and decision-making across multiple low-cost nodes, creating a resilient and scalable network capable of adapting to changing environments and mission requirements. The project explores how large numbers of simple devices can work together to achieve complex objectives such as area mapping, search operations, environmental monitoring, surveillance, and autonomous exploration. Vision Traditional robotic systems often depend on centralized control, making them vulnerable to single points of failure. HiveMind aims to demonstrate a different approach: a decentralized network where individual nodes cooperate, share information, and dynamically allocate tasks based on the current state of the mission. Inspired by natural swarm systems such as ant colonies and bee hives, HiveMind focuses on collective intelligence emerging from many simple units working together.", "repo": "https://github.com/EnigmaGaming03/HiveMind", "demo": "https://hive-mind-simulator--menot58157.replit.app/"}]...

Working on a Drone swarming system that uses ESP32 with camera module for o2o( Object to object ) communication In this first session I made the drone frame and decided the placement of various components on the frame. As well as a bit of research about the components that may be necessary for the motor driver pcb that has to fabricated / designed at a later session
In this session, i worked on the driver board for the drone, which the ESP32 will connect to and be able to controll the motors, its a unidirectional 4 channel controller, it uses a Q_NMOS, 10K resistors and a 1N4148 Diode. Faced a few issues because most of the schematics needed to be found using different names Q_NMOS was known as SI2300 N-channel but that name doesnt work in the kicad library. furthermore when switching to the schematics to the PCB editor most of the components didnt have a footprint assigned so i had to work on assigning footprints to each component again.
In this session i worked on making the full driver board and fixing all the shorts on the schematic. due to certain crashes of KiCad there was a lot of component unsyncing happening so i had to force sync the schematic a few times to fix the errors , i also made the board to size based on the previously designed CAD model of the drone frame. a few issues were faced while wiring the board, causing the routes to no snap on to the place , although after some trouble shooting it was fixed by changing the settings in the interactice routing tab and selecting allow DRC violations. Though this caused more trouble shooting steps in the end it allowed me to be able to quickly build the initial board. i also had to redo the board J1 socket as seen in image attached as i had forgotten to add voltage in from the ESP32 cam to this additional board to run the motors
Finished with drone frame and component placement.Next is setting up of the O2O communication system and control system for the drone as well as other safety/ smart features

verview HiveMind is a modular swarm intelligence platform designed around interconnected ESP32-based nodes that can operate as a coordinated autonomous system. Rather than relying on a single powerful controller, HiveMind distributes tasks, communication, and decision-making across multiple low-cost nodes, creating a resilient and scalable network capable of adapting to changing environments and mission requirements. The project explores how large numbers of simple devices can work together to achieve complex objectives such as area mapping, search operations, environmental monitoring, surveillance, and autonomous exploration. Vision Traditional robotic systems often depend on centralized control, making them vulnerable to single points of failure. HiveMind aims to demonstrate a different approach: a decentralized network where individual nodes cooperate, share information, and dynamically allocate tasks based on the current state of the mission. Inspired by natural swarm systems such as ant colonies and bee hives, HiveMind focuses on collective intelligence emerging from many simple units working together....

Day 3 After a full day of work the game is technically playable, though a lot still needs to be done — from ship placement to UI polish.

IT’S COMPLETE IG After several technical problems which led me to rewrite the most important function like, CPP Void Hitbox(); , to allow the placement of larger ships, I decided to wrap up this project here, which turned out to be much harder than expected. See you in my other projects xcx

some great changes upcoming. stay tuned! :D
this is going to be the LAST devlog for this project. i have added a new page, LOTS of extra sections, and I have removed the F1 tracker section because ’twas givin me a headache ( i wasted 4 DAMN HOURS on that shi )

It was originally intended to be autonomous, but we wanted to focus more on the mechanical systems that were on the robot. I was in charge of designing and assembling the intake subsystem. It was very challenging to fit within the design constraints that we were provided but it was very rewarding once I saw my CAD come to life! This was my first time having something I designed online turn into something physical, so I was very surprised that when all my parts got shipped that it all came together nicely. I did this under a summer program in collaboration with Stardance called Definity Education Summer Camp and it was fun going through trial and error to see what worked and didn’t work. The hardest part was definitely having to make everything from scratch and not buying pre-made FTC or VEX parts, like getting our sheet metal manufactured was a risk in itself!

i continued to work on the intake system, which we plan to do a roller and conveyor system to hold/intake the tennis balls. i found several components online and compiled them into a spreadsheet to check the costs. i ran into some issues, especially with figuring out how to pivot the entire conveyor while being able to secure the two plates so they move together.
today, my teammates and i first worked on getting the 3d printed center parts of our wheels to fit. the pneumatic wheels were really difficult to work with, especially because the prints weren’t fitting on perfectly (it took us like 1-2 hours). while the others worked on driving with the new wheels and drafting the climbing mechanism, i worked on designing our intake and shooter. i made a 3d model and a geometry sketch to figure out how the pivot would work and how our motors would be mounted. i eventually landed on this design that i will edit more tomorrow.
yesterday i worked on combining our intake system with a pivot. i realized that there was very little space between both motors, so i moved the pivot between where two motors are, where a shaft would be placed under the intake. however, in order to fit under the 8 inch limit, the pvc pipes would have to be smaller or the walls of the intake would have to be shorter. i also started putting other components into the CAD, including the bearings, pipes, and pulleys that might be on the robot. lastly, i tried to modify the bottom pan of the robot’s frame to allow for the intake to turn downwards at a more drastic angle.
i mostly researched different parts to purchase and further refined how the intake would work. to run the conveyor, one motor would power the first roller, then the rest would be connected by pulleys and belts. i also added a motor mount to the side plate of the intake. for the chassis itself, i extended the base plate and L-brackets so that it would be 15x15 inches, which was one of the constraints.
today, i worked on editing our parts that will be machined for our intake. instead of making it three pieces, we realized we could just bend one large piece of metal. for the motor mount, i added a way to allow it to tension so that when we add belts, we can adjust accordingly. i also ordered all the parts we need for the intake system, including the shafts, motor, bearings, etc. lastly, we also started planning out how our shooter would work, which we chose to do two flywheels at the end of the conveyor.
i worked on our shooter design, coming up with different ways to get the tennis balls into a bucket while fitting into our size constraints. especially with having a pivot on our intake, having the motors for the flywheels in the back would add too much weight, so i am still figuring out how to get that to work. i am testing out different orientations for the motors and flywheel, such as a dual horizontal flywheel shooter and a single flywheel shooter.
some of our parts for the intake arrived, so i was able to design more parts of our intake around it. i adjusted the rollers and came up with two different iterations, depending on the width of the rubber we will use to wrap around the rollers. i also measured the diameter of the hex shafts that arrived, which let me test printing out GT2 gears. i edited the gear by finding a part on McMaster-Carr and cutting out the hex shape and chopping off the extruded portion.
here’s an update on what the robot has been doing! i haven’t been working much on the driving part, so my teammates did a majority of figuring out how to navigate the course and how to drive. our robot was able to make it over the hill (but it flipped over if you watch the video lol). i am still working on the intake, but i have gotten further by printing out some pulleys and some shaft to bearing attachments we might use on the robot. tomorrow we will hopefully order sheet metal to hold our intake system. also, one of our prints turned into a blob
today i iterated more on the design of the intake. after printing the pulleys, we realized the belt was slipping and skipping teeth on the pulleys because we were using GT2 belts. we’re now pivoting to HTD-5M belts so we can hopefully not have any slipping happen on our intake. we also ordered more parts and added them to our purchase list!! when the sheet metal comes, we will be able to test the fit of bearings and other parts as well.
yesterday i worked on making the shaft collars and pulleys to print out. our pulley prints were not very successful, but the shaft collars turned out great. i downloaded a free shaft collar file from this link and i changed the size of the screw hole, the width, and i adjusted it so there were two flat ends (so we could use a screw and nut). my team also cut the shafts so we can start making our intake
on friday and today, i mounted the 3d prints to the shafts to start assembling the intake. i was struggling to attach a lot of these parts to the shafts because a layer of the prints kept on stopping the shaft from going all the way through. someone else had to hammer the parts onto the shafts in order for it to work :’) we’re still waiting on our metal part that will contain all of our intake parts, but we do have other components printed. our rollers were printed using TPU, and we also got our pulleys and shaft collars finished as well. we also have very very colorful filament now!!
i worked on assembling the intake, which was mostly the last part of the day today. we got our metal parts in the afternoon ish, so earlier in the day i was working on the guides to funnel the balls into the intake. i also continued refining the cad so now it looks like this!! the intake itself is working decently okay, i have to attach the motor tomorrow. one problem is that i have to wrap around the rubber onto the conveyor, otherwise there is no contact from the rollers on the conveyor to the tennis balls.
i had to take apart and reassemble the intake because the pulleys were on the wrong side… since the pulley on the motor shaft doesn’t fit over the set screw on the shaft, the final belt had to be on the opposite side, so i had to take everything apart :’) my teammate attached the shooter system onto the intake after i was done, so our robot is finally coming together!!
we finally got our intake and shooter to work! i mostly helped by tensioning the neoprene rubber strips and using rubber glue to secure it. earlier, i was trying to make a 3d print to make it easier to cut the rubber strip so that it can be cut at an angle, allowing me to overlap the rubber without making the conveyor too thick. however, that didn’t end up working because the rubber was difficult to cut, so we just decided to glue one on top of the other. one issue we ran into was that on the overlapped portion, it would jam into the pulley for the shooter. this was eventually fixed by cutting the part of the rubber conveyor that was too thick and would hit the pulley! with the extra scraps of rubber that i messed up on, i made a little dude with scissors
i finally have a good idea on how to slice for bambu printers!! i did a lot of 3d printing today, and i started by reprinting the side funnel walls . i also helped to make an attachment so that the limit switch would be pressed once the intake has pivoted past a certain point, to make sure it doesn’t touch the ground. it is definitely not the best solution but i was able to make it work with a bunch of tape and 3d print iterations !!
i just updated our limit switch arm because it ended up snapping!! i thickened the arm and i also included a filleted part to prevent it from snapping so easily. that’s it for today!!
Ships:
Alongside a team of 2 other high schoolers, I helped to make a robot that can intake balls, shoot balls, and navigate across an obstacle course. It was originally intended to be autonomous, but we wanted to focus more on the mechanical systems that were on the robot. I was in charge of designing and assembling the intake subsystem. It was very challenging to fit within the design constraints that we were provided but it was very rewarding once I saw my CAD come to life! This was my first time having something I designed online turn into something physical, so I was very surprised that when all my parts got shipped that it all came together nicely. I did this under a summer program in collaboration with Stardance called Definity Education Summer Camp and it was fun going through trial and error to see what worked and didn’t work. The hardest part was definitely having to make everything from scratch and not buying pre-made FTC or VEX parts, like getting our sheet metal manufactured was a risk in itself! But it was totally worth it....

Day 3 - 4: Footer and Finishing Touches I added the footer section and made it responsive. Then I fixed other small bugs which were of UI and React. Lastly I made the UI a bit better by adding smooth scroll and made most of the buttons work. I have started making the info section. Time Distribution: 0h 40m: Footer Section 0h 10m: Making it Responsive 0h 10m: Fixing other minor bugs 0h 50m: Making some changes to UI 0h 40m: Started Info Section
Day 5 - 6: Created Info Page I have now completed the whole webpage. The info page has been added which contains five sections: Hero About Me Skills Ongoing Project Footer Time Distribution: 0h 20m: Hero Section 1h 10m: Skills Section 0h 30m: About Me Section 0h 30m: Ongoing Project Section
Ships:
I completed making my portfolio page. It was kinda fun and i tried my best to make it look good as im not a UI designer. I have used AI only for some text content and helper functions. Not much to see but I hope you guys like it!...

Devlogs:
devlog #1 - let’s make an OS (sort of) ! building my own OS has been a dream of mine for a long, long time but i’ve never actually been able to make one before (because i know next to nothing about low-level programming). so imagine my reaction when i saw that i could get 50 stardust for making one? well, one small catch. it had to be a web-based OS. wait, is that really a catch though? its like a thousand times easier, and has just enough instant gratification for my short-form content-fried dopamine-addicted brain. so here we are. so far, tundra has a window and a status bar, and thats about it (also, the wallpaper is a photo i took down at the beach today !). i’m really looking forward to adding a ton more features to tundra in the future.
devlog #2 - windows i started working on the first iteration of caribou - tundra’s window manager (aka a window class and a list of open windows). so far, windows can be dragged around using some very janky freestyled code, and can also be closed (one of the can even be opened again !). it’s currently looking quite… webby , so next i’ll probably work on making it look a bit more personal (maybe a bit like my personal homepage??)
devlog #3 - windows (again!) windows and apps are now instanced and defined purely in their own classes in javascript instead of being predefined in HTML and shown / hidden. i know it’s not strictly part of the mission for WebOS 1 but it makes me feel a bit better about myself AND it’ll make things a whole lot easier for me down the line. since apps are instanced, i can have as many welcomes as i want !
devlog #4 - almost time to ship ! after much tedious work i added 2 other apps: a notes app that currently has a small TODO list and a changelog; and an image viewer that shows off a random image i’ve taken. i’ve also prettied the whole thing up a little bit by changing the font from [default] to Cozette, a nice cozy bitmap-ish font. finally, i added an app drawer so you can open all the (3) apps available in v0.1.0! i’m really looking forward to adding tons of new features and making it look super awesome!
devlog #5 - visual updates i decided i wanted to make tundra look a bit like serenityOS, so i modified the window header to include the distinctive red gradient. i also added a proper focusing system which required a decent rewrite of a portion of caribou (the wm). also, i worked on centralising the wm. previously, windows handled their own focusing and closing but since i’ve discovered customevents windows now request this behaviour from the wm. finally, windows now auto-focus when you open them!
devlog #6 - more taskbar stuff i decided that it’s probably a good idea to be able to see what apps you have open, so i implemented a little window list in the status bar. it’s pretty rudimentary - it just makes an element for each open window and updates any time a window is added or removed. eventually i’ll get around to adding window logos and context menus that let you close and minimise windows from the taskbar but that’s a bit advanced for the minute.
devlog #7 - now we’re getting somewhere! tundra is starting to take off! i’ve changed the look of the taskbar very slightly (there’s now more padding), and i’ve also revamped the appdrawer so that it looks cleaner (and more like SerenityOS). also, submenus! now the appdrawer can be more organised as I continue to add apps instead of turning into a wastebin of buttons. i deleted all of the original apps and have replaced them with (so far) an updated welcome/about (with wally, the derpy walrus who’s tundra’s new mascot), a proper changelog (eventually i’ll make it pull from github but for now it’s hardcoded), and a cube to test out threejs.

devlog #9 - files! what’s an operating system if you can’t have files? so, i decided to write a basic filesystem for tundra. paired with a simple terminal and now tundra is actually kind of cool! the filesystem tundra uses a really simple filesystem model: there’s a File and a Directory class that both inherit from FSNode, Files have names and contents and Directories have names and children. tundra uses a traditional unix file layout (/home, /bin, /etc and so on) because its cool. the terminal i really wanted some way to navigate the filesystem but didn’t feel like implementing an entire file browser so I added a simple terminal. it has a few methods like writeln and readline which you can use. all the commands (including the shell!) are defined in their own classes, just like apps, which makes it really easy to add new ones. so far, i’ve added cd, ls, mkdir, touch, cat, and my own version of neofetch. next steps an actual file browser some more commands ANSI escape codes for colours a text editor to make files for the filesystem

devlog #11 - ctrl+alt+delete this is a bit of a shorter devlog since I basically only added one thing - a functioning shutdown sequence! first a little dialog pops up asking if you’re sure, and then the whole screen goes black and says “shutting down…”, finally followed by an elite reference (Progressbar95 players rise up!)
devlog #12 - the end? (for now) this is going to be my last devlog before I ship tundra, i’m really proud of how far it’s come and the fact that i’ve actually managed to finish a project for once! I didn’t quite get to add everything I wanted but most of it is there text editor time! i added a real simple text editor that can save and load files from the “disk”. i don’t really have anything else to say about it rated D for dialogs in order for the text editor to work properly, I had to make save and open dialog boxes. these are basically an unholy frankenstein of the normal dialog box and the file browser app, and they work well enough object permanence using JSON and the world’s jankiest serialization/deserialization system I was able to save the user’s filesystem state to localStorage so that even of you reload or close the page, your precious writing will be preserved you’re getting the boot real operating systems don’t open straight to the desktop - theres a whole boot sequence that leads to this (and if you’re cool and use linux it’s all on display for you). inspired by @cooki ’s FPS-OS (go check it out it’s really cool) i added a boot screen that looks pretty alright I guess. visual imagery finally, I got around to adding icons for each app. they’re 16x16, made in aseprite over the course of about 10 minutes, and work just enough that I don’t need to redesign them constantly. next steps ship it!

tundra v0.1.0 (alpha) tundra is finally ready to release! it’s currently very much in its infancy and doesn’t have very many features but it meets the requirements of the ship and i’m proud of it! so far we have: multiple draggable windows that are instanceable and defined as classes in javascript (so you can open more than one of the same app!) a welcome message, notes app (which is really an editable changelog), and a nice assortment of images for you to look at a status bar with the date and a handy app drawer so you can access all (3 of) the cool apps on display! a beautiful font (cozette by the-moonwitch) i hope you all like it so far, and plenty more features will follow in the coming weeks
tundra OS i made a web OS called tundra. visually, it’s really similar to Serenity OS and it was a whole lot of fun to make. features lots of apps, like a browser, text editor, and file browser a working(ish) filesystem a whole dialog system 3d graphics elite references...

The Slack bot is now up and running on Slack through Nest. One of the biggest challenges for this phase was just navigating and understanding how an SSH works. Since the last update it gained an actual leaderboard (aligned table, usernames, claude counts), a logo of the Claude asterisk wearing a slightly crooked halo, and I lost twenty minutes to Slack’s manifest editor over how to display usernames instead of user id’s.
Ships:
I made claude-counter, a Slack bot that tallies every time someone says claude and replies with your running count, because so many people say it in another Slack I’m in. It counts the number of times a person says claude (/claude-counter-me), dispenses vibe coding sermons on request (/claude-counter-sermon), and ranks the faithful in the Vibe Coding Hall of Slop (/claude-counter-board or claudeboard)....

I am proud that even though I wouldn’t say this is the most sophisticated piece of software, I would say it’s pretty rudimentary compared to other games but I’ve come to expect reliability and modularity from it, which really came in handy when adding the maps and shapes. Even though there were some minor bugs here and there with the new maps and shapes at the beginning, it all ended up working with very small tweaks. What should people know so they can test your project? To test the project follow these steps: Go to releases section of the GitHub repository. Download the Client and Server executables.

It was quite challenging getting the client to render and interpolate the packets sent from the server because without taking into account the time difference the players might overshoot, and because the projectiles didn’t have an id at the time, they would flicker in positions where they shouldn’t have been. I am very proud of my server and the client-server communication because were the most reliable and straightforward things during the development of this project, even though I firstly started to build the server, the collision simulation, aiming, map and shape changes were very intuitive which proved to be extremely reliable. This reliability of the server really did come in handy when debugging the numerous bugs of the client, but most of the bugs that I found in the client are now fixed, but if someone finds more, I wouldn’t be surprised and you can contact me and describe the issue. What should people know so they can test your project? To test the project follow these steps: Go to releases section of the GitHub repository. Download the Client and Server executables. Download the “maps” folder from the root directory of the repository. Place the Client and Server executables and the “maps” folder inside 1 directory. Start the Server and then the Client. For multiple clients just spin up new instances of the Client. It is only on Windows at the moment, but in a future update it will be cross platform, even on mobile.", "repo": "https://github.com/AliendsOG/Geometrical-Brawl-Stars", "demo": "https://github.com/AliendsOG/Geometrical-Brawl-Stars/releases/tag/Pre-alpha"}]...

Devlogs:
Test the server side movement functionality
I’ve implemented shooting and health in the game. Next I have to add a reload and ammo count. After that I could start to focus onto implementing some interpolation in the player and bullet’s movement to make it move at 144FPS not at the 30Hz tick rate of the server.
I’ve implemented a “fog of war” so the server only sends to the player the data about the other players that they can actually see. I made the camera follow the current player. The game now uses interpolation to smooth out the data packets coming from the server, so players can enjoy smoother gameplay. Also the tick rate was increased to 69Hz. The network packets are now dynamic, they do not have a fixed size, this saves network bandwidth. What I wanna do next: create some basic UI; create a basic game over screen; introduce new shapes as playable “characters”; maybe introduce a trophy system
Now users can resize the window and the game scales perfectly. There is now a main menu and a game over screen is in the works.
Added a title screen, lobby waiting screen and a game over screen
Introduced a new tech inspired design into the game. Now players that are in a “bush” get invisible. Made the game modular and added support for multiple maps on the server side. P.S.: In Hackatime I have 54 hours logged on this project, 8 more than Stardance logged, this discrepancy appeared 2-3 devlogs ago and I asked on the stardance-help chat about it, but I got no response.
Added support for new shapes and levels. Different shapes have different stats and some of them can be upgraded with a leveling up system. Also added a sine wave animation to a tile.
Implemented settings and a save file. Now whenever the user reopens the game it remembers their last used shape and map so they don’t have to reselect them. The settings UI is only partially made. P.S.: Hackatime shows the 2 linked project times to be 31hrs 55min and 35hrs 8 min respectively, but the total somehow is 57hrs 19 min.
Trying to get the settings menu to work. Firstly I made a general menu class, then I added to it a submenu vector, and I got it to work when I was only focused on getting the resolution to change. But then I tried to implement the frame rate setting and so the class had to be redesigned and now, let’s say it’s halfway there. PS: the total time across the 2 Hackatime projects (server and client) linked to this Stardance project is 71hrs.
Finally got the settings to work, but the user has to press Enter twice for the change to happen, but hey, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature. 😅 I’m getting ready to ship this first alpha version of Geomatrix. It has been such a journey managing UDP packet types, the server physics simulations, the client interpolation and the Raylib rendering pipeline.

Added Linux support!!!

P.S.: I’m trying to make longer devlogs as that was suggested numerous times in the reviews of the first ship.

Each icon is drawn using their specific function, but I am thinking of combining them into one function in the future.
I’m starting the development of an Predictive Coding AI model that would play my game as a bot. I’ll make it in Python so I can learn a new language and as it is the standard language used in AI development. Currently I’m building a kind of “mega client” which acts as 10 client that connect to the server and it displays the whole map on the screen with all the players. After this I will link the Python project with the “Mega Client” through standard streams as ENet on Python isn’t really a modern supported thing and this will cut down network bandwidth and I think will decrease the CPU overhead while the model trains. When the link between the Python and C++ program is finished then I’ll start the development of the actual AI model, which will involve reading through some scientific papers on the topic. Right now I have 2 of them bookmarked, but you never know when something new may pop up.
These past days I am trying to figure out how to implement the IPC (inter process communication) between Python (where the AI model will be made) and the C++ “megaclient” that acts as 10 clients that connect to the game server. From what I’ve seen one of the easiest ways to implement it is through binary standard streams because I’ll have to move 14KB of data per frame, and because I will unlock the speed of the server physics simulation, it will be like thousands of frames per second, which will add up pretty fast.

But at the same time I’ve been watching more and more videos about how to build AI models and for the first version I’ll build a standard Backprop model as I’ve read in a paper that Predictive Coding approximates Backprop. The problem is this will have to come after the IPC is implemented successfully, which currently it is not. If anyone sees and reads this I would happily accept any suggestions on how to implement the IPC between Python and C++.
After a bit of a pause on this project because I wanted to clear my mind a little and do the Hackpad hardware project I returned and made the Game Over screen a bit nicer and so everything is beginning to tie together. I wrote Reals and Quanta so that new users will know what those icons mean. In addition I redesigned the map selection screen to show a preview of the map before selecting it. I am also thinking of adding an aim overview and the players just hold the arrow keys or move the right joystick on the controller.
I added the aiming line overlay to make it easier for players to see where they are aiming. It was actually a little bit of spaghetti code involved in the making of this as I use a function to draw the match and another function calculates the last point of the line and returns it but I made it work and it does so beautifully and reliably. I am thinking of maybe adding 1 or 2 more shapes and 1 or 2 new maps and I’d say the project is ready for another ship!
I added 2 new shapes that will fight for supremacy in the math world. They are the Astroid and the Reuleaux Triangle. The Astroid is more of a sniper with long range and lots of damage, but smaller ammo. The Reuleaux Triangle is more of a tank with a shorter range and smaller speed but tons of ammo and damage and also loads of health. Also I added 2 new maps, one is a team mode map and another is a PVE map in which each shape has to fight to be the only one standing at the end of the match.
Ships:
What did you make? What was challenging? What are you proud of? I made a multiplayer game where interesting geometrical shapes fight each other to dominate the world of maths called Geomatrix. It is built fully in C++ with ENet being used for the client-server communication over UDP and Raylib being used to display graphics on the client side. In Geomatrix different shapes have their own strengths and weaknesses and players have to leverage them in the best way possible so they can win. It was quite challenging getting the client to render and interpolate the packets sent from the server because without taking into account the time difference the players might overshoot, and because the projectiles didn’t have an id at the time, they would flicker in positions where they shouldn’t have been. I am very proud of my server and the client-server communication because were the most reliable and straightforward things during the development of this project, even though I firstly started to build the server, the collision simulation, aiming, map and shape changes were very intuitive which proved to be extremely reliable.

For multiple clients just spin up new instances of the Client. It is only on Windows at the moment, but in a future update it will be cross platform, even on mobile.

In Geomatrix different shapes have their own strengths and weaknesses and players have to leverage them in the best way possible so they can win. It was quite challenging trying to stay consistent and not get overwhelmed by the loads of things I could add to the game as my time is limited and I easily ended up in a rabbit-hole about AI models that could play my game, which I didn’t end up making. I am proud that even though I wouldn’t say this is the most sophisticated piece of software, I would say it’s pretty rudimentary compared to other games but I’ve come to expect reliability and modularity from it, which really came in handy when adding the maps and shapes. Even though there were some minor bugs here and there with the new maps and shapes at the beginning, it all ended up working with very small tweaks.

Arivu (അറിവ്) is a bilingual science career literacy platform for +2 students in Palakkad, Kerala — built in Malayalam and English because the language itself is the point. Most students here are told there are two paths in science: IIT-JEE or NEET. There are over fifty. We mapped them. The hardest part wasn’t the tech — it’s a single index.html, deliberately. The hardest part was writing career descriptions in Malayalam that didn’t read like translated English, and building a heritage module that treats the Kerala School of Mathematics (c. 1300–1600 CE) as the living tradition it actually is, not a footnote. Mādhava of Saṅgamagrāma derived the series for π 300 years before Leibniz. That’s rendered live in KaTeX on the site. What I’m most proud of: the Exam Calendar PDF — 13 major STEM entrance exams, 8 pages, designed to be printed and pinned on a classroom wall. It’s already being used in schools. To test it: go to arivu-pallakad.netlify.app, try the Career Matcher (pick your subjects and interests), explore the Pathways Map, and download the Exam Calendar. The site works on a ₹6,000 phone on 2G — that was a hard constraint, not an afterthought.
I have reviewed all of the errors, made the project better, added Malayalam as a new language, and added more career pathways. The UI was inspired by old mobile notes apps, and we have done a lot of research for this version. I have done a lot of work for this passion project :)
Just added a bunch more Malayalam across the site and finally got the career guide PDF in. Figured people should be able to save something and actually walk away with it instead of just scrolling through once. Also cleaned up the readability and squeezed out some performance while I was in there. Honestly the Malayalam translations were the hard part. A lot of career/science terms just don’t have a clean Malayalam equivalent, so it wasn’t a translate-and-done job; it took a lot of rewriting until it sounded like something a person would actually say instead of a textbook. Still not 100% happy with a couple of sections, but it’s way better than before. What I’m most happy with is that Arivu finally feels bilingual instead of just having a language toggle that doesn’t mean much. That was the whole point of building this. If you’re testing it, take a look at the translations between Malayalam and English, download the career guide PDF, and let me know if anything seems sluggish....

I made HyprTools, an open source suite of tools made for the average Windows PC user, so they can get more done, in less time (Supports only windows 10/11) It contains a bunch of tools, including: One-click “Fix my PC Button” [SFC & DISM] PC Cache cleanser Wi-Fi Cache cleanser One-click “Update all apps and drivers” button Refresh Display Drivers PC stress test Startup app recommendations GUI for building and running terminal commands Folder organiser File converter Fast image editor Spotlight-search-style quick access bar Voice typing helper Image to text [OCR] Auto Typer Fast anywhere-on-screen color picker Web Apps Launcher Auto Clicker Image to ASCII art Webcam feed to ASCII art (you can use this in google meet, zoom, and while streaming!) Fake Windows update and error screen Each of them assists the user in some way WHAT WAS CHALLENGING? Well, a lot of stuff, firstly this app is made in tkinter, which is torture in itself but to make it look good, I needed ICONS, but that is so hard because then you need to download the icons, use Tk.Image and yk, actually place the icons in the final zip, which takes unnecessary space, eventually, I used EMOJIS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, with the trade-off that now my code looks straight out of GPT-3 Also making the exes with pyinstaller is a hassle, you always forget smth small and have to change it all again. WHAT AM I PROUD OF? The thing I’m most proud of is HyprSearch. Its a spotlight seasrch like app and it is very impressive, I love how managed to handle the searching better than Windows search , because it dosen’t prioritise web search, and is really great when you need to locate something in a pinch. I spent a literal day in school, deciding how the fallback chain for a search string would be (I got punished for not paying attention in class, but WORTH IT). It is the largest tool outside of the launcher, and for good reason!, Also I think I did a good job with the GUI on this one. WHAT PREREQUISITES DO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TESTING? Well, this suite is made for average windows users, who aren’t tech savvy, so almost all dependencies are bundled in the .zip file in releases. The only one you need to have is VLC Media Player, which most people have, and is only for the fake update screen. Thanks for reviewing my project, I spent a lot of thime on this, and i hope you like it! baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii", "repo": "https://github.com/THEbluefirestudios/hyprtools", "demo": "https://github.com/THEbluefirestudios/hyprtools/releases"}]...

I shifted the architecture a little bit: tools that require to be GUIless and run in the background are now seperate .pyw files, so I have made edits to the wraparound feature and made it toggle on shortcut Ctrl (right) + Insert . I also added the fake error screen and it look really convincing! Other features i added include: update all apps, autoclicker, and the PC stress test (some of these were done before the previous devlog but I forgot to mention that). Sadly, my efforts on the Enable EU features and Reset PC are in vail so they may not be added.
As of now I have made the fake BSOD, VERY VERY CONVINCING. it has a counter that changes the percent text and it automatically locks your pc the moment it finishes, making it look like your pc just restarted. I am now working on the fake update screen
I added the fake update and actually autosave for ms office! thats it… byeee…. (image unrelated)
I added the image to ASCII feature (sample below) and its really nice! Consequentially I am also working on the ASCII camera feature but thats going rough….. Hope I dont die from caffiene overdose…. and now I shall continue to work on it.
Aaandd. I’m done with the ASCII Camera! Its really jank - you need to open the app, click start, the set the app as a window capture source in OBS, then turn on virtual camera, and then can you use the ASCII camera effect in your desired use case, its also fully local so very laggy, but this is the best I can do as pyvirtualcam refuses to work on my PC
So I am now working on the Pretend to Type autotyper (it needs a better name ik) and you don’t konow how much it escalated, just for some pretend typing, i made functions for calculating distance between keys on a keyboard, a function to do spelling mistakes/fat fingering on purpose, it detects the current window to strip chars like \t if the curent window is an IDE, AND I decided to put a hard deadline of the 31st of July. I’m so cooked. Also due to copyright, bureaucracy, my incompetence in writing production-ready code, and my refusal to use AI, the features: Desktop Pet, HyprSearch, and ffmpeg GUI will not come in HyprTools. I’m sorry :((( (image unrelated)
Finally I started working on this again, I am currently working on other features like the Game prioritize, and made ASCII camera more customised and performant! Not a lot of coding as I distributed my time between Candela Shaders and Hyprtools (image unrelated)
Its time i work on this again: Today I just spent some time making the terminal command generator, as of now, it supports 'shutdown', 'echo', 'cd', 'ping', 'mkdir', 'del', 'copy', 'ipconfig', 'dir', 'cls', 'tasklist', 'taskkill', 'netstat', 'systeminfo', 'whoami', 'tree', 'xcopy', 'timeout', 'start', 'attrib', commands, I should add more but this is it as of now! d=====(￣▽￣*)b
YESS, vry usefule Today I made the Fileconverter, simple enough, as of now, it supports these filetypes cat_exts = { #cats such a cute shortform for 'category' ^owo^ ' image ' : [ ' jpg ' , ' jpeg ' , ' png ' , ' webp ' , ' bmp ' , ' gif ' , ' ico ' , ' tiff ' ], ' audio ' : [ ' mp3 ' , ' wav ' , ' flac ' , ' ogg ' , ' aac ' , ' m4a ' , ' wma ' ], ' video ' : [ ' mp4 ' , ' mkv ' , ' webm ' , ' avi ' , ' mov ' , ' flv ' , ' wmv ' ],} …and it just works, what can I say? baiiiiii
Pretend to type is now TypeGhost! Its a better name tbh, as for its features, you can set a typing speed, and % change for a spelling error, when the ‘ghost’ accidentally presses an adjacent key, hits backspace, and corrects itself. There are 3 modes: Boilerplate : For repetitive paragraphs, or statements Code : For code snippets, it ‘thinks’ for a while after opening brackets or hitting enter. It also strips off tab-spaces as IDEs usually autoindent. Essay : For well… essays and large paras of English text, pauses after full stop, excalamation mark, question mark to ‘think’ and also after paragraphs (newlines) baiii for today!
Today i made the backend for the voice typing ‘HyprVoice’ It just uses the python lib speech recognition so it wasnt that bad, but….. I spent SOOOOOOOOOOOO long debugging it because it couldn’t actually recognise….. and then I realised my microphone wire got pulled off. bye. (i feel ashamed) (The image is how I plan to make the GUI.)
Hyprtools - Web apps is complete, alongside voice typing! The HyprVoice was almost done yesterday, I just needed to add a Tkinter GUI. As for web apps, it was a completely finished app I made a while ago, so I just had to rebrand it a little with the courier font and - HyprTools in the titlebar. Thats it for the day! baiiiiiiiiii
HyprPicker is done! Its yet again, an I had built before, just had to do some improvements like giving it system tray functionality via pystray , and giving it toast messages and a nice hovering tooltip ( the screenshot ) so that it dosent just give no feedback that it is working. If you are wondering how it works, I just take a screenshot of the full screen, make a tkinter fullscreen window that forces focus, use mouse coords and PIL to get the color at a particular coord, and the entire actual GUI the user sees is just 2 toasts, one spawned at the mouse previewing color and hex code, and a toast showing that the hex code was copied to clipboard As of now, I’m making basic icons with PIL again, but I will surely replace them! baiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Did a BIG one today This is HyprPhotos, a basic, yet fast photo editor, crop images by just clicking on 2 points, rotate, sharpen, upscale, downscale and do so much more in a very short timespan! It just uses PIL s built in functions really, so it wasn’t hard to make the functioning for, and ik the UI looks bad ok baiiiiii
Bruh, Idk what i have been doing lately, I have been sick lately sooo….. I was unable to code or even talk about my other project at the stardance AMA with Jared Isaacman (yes I was invited) The only thing I’ve really been doing, is aimlessly just make functions for a HyprSearch that I decided to revive, so far features are: File search App search Web search + open URL Quick install apps (uses winget ) The current time for some reason Math solver Run command !bangs as a cooler way to search, does the above functions but quicker a single covalent bond (inside joke) btw this is a spotlight search clone baiiiiiii
After 2 hours, and 44 minutes, HyprSearch’s backend logic is READYYYYYY!!! This did NOT need to take this less time, but I will briefly go over what it can do: Solve mathematical expressions Run terminal commands Open apps and websites by just their name (not even a URL domain like .com is required!) Install from winget (bang only) Tell the current time (bang only) Perform a file search Fetch a Wikipedia summary (largely bang only) Search on a search engine of your choice Then, there are !bangs - short keywords to put before your query to do a specific thing and a specific thing only: Current list of bangs include: bangs = [ ' !open ' , ' !app ' , ' !web ' , ' !websearch ' , ' !file ' , ' !wiki ' , ' !time ' , ' !install ' , ' !math ' , ' !cmd ' , ] This is kinda a massive shortcut library, disguised as a search bar! baiiiiiiiiiiiiii
So I have started building the frontend for HyprSearch This is definitely the most largest hyprtool, as it needs the extra code for the titlebarless appearance, pystray integration, spawn on keyboard shortcut, settings, displaying of results, and the ROUNDED CORNERS (dont get me started, basically u need to chroma key out a specific color that is present on the edges of the screen Well, features: You can, via this tool, open websites with only name, search using search engine, fetch wiki summary, install apps, open apps, find files, tell the time, solve math, run commands from this little bar Each search can show multiple results in order of relevance, max five results, for example, searching “Minecraft” will pull up Open app: Minecraft, then open folder “.minecraft”, then open website “ minecraft.net “ then engine search “ minecraft “ Some basic keyboard shortcuts: Alt + Q for spawning the search bar, Esc for closing the search bar, Enter for well, yk (idk how to describe it), like entering the query? (also it automatically opens the top result), and Ctrl + <1 - 5 num row keys> for opening one of the results. It lives in ur system tray! (not a lot to say here) As of writing this devlog, I am just testing stuff, like UI jank, and stuff, ik the border is thick, I am working on it PS: IMPORTANT: im fucked. u see, i am using a python lib called AppOpener for opening apps, but it cannot detect UWP apps or apps in external drives, and I use a lot of UWP apps (yk, like minecraft) and apps on external drives, so I have to remake the entire app-opening part (also i am a responsible dev and i think abt other people’s setup while coding)
Okie Hyprsearch is done! It can: Open apps and websites only with name Run commands Solve math Install apps Search for files Search engine query Wikipedia summary bangs for quick results In a very MacOS-like package! I have also started the startup time booster, which will list out all apps in your startup apps that you may or may not need and take action accordingly baiiiiiiiii
YEAHH After quite the break, 1 hour, and 24 minutes, HyprOCR is ready! It just reads text from images (uses WindowsOCR engine in the background). There is not really anything special about it so well… baiiiiiiiiiii (image kinda unrelated)
Ok so I made the icons for Hyprtools and saved them, also for the tools that lived in the system tray, I replaced the temp icons with the actual thing, taking some help from my newly acquired github copilot for student! Also uhh, I forgot to down the icons as transparent images so i had to do that later. Lapse recording This is one of the icons, watch the timelapse for the full catalog!
Ok I kinda feel ashamed yeah but…. I used AI In my defense it was for a bulk, tedious task - converting all tool.py files to .exes, and then because pyinstaller hates me, delete them and redo it with slightly diff settings for like an hour, so I installed opencode and made the AI go through the suffering, not me, But GLM did a good job with only like 3 prompts so I don,t care, but all works now! Now the only thing left is the main app that handles all tools, and like gives user easy toggle to turn on/turn off/ use all these tools baiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (avengers assemble! ahh screenshot)
OH MY GOD I JUST SPENT 4 HOURS ON A LAUNCHER APP WTFFF
I just added a warning saying that you need vlc to use some tools. I need to add a log system. [image unrelated]
AAAAND ITS DONE the github is ready, I ahve committed all changes, you can download the releases, bugs fixed all done! Now i press ship! Hope it goes well
Ships:
WHAT DID I MAKE? I made HyprTools, an open source suite of tools made for the average Windows PC user, so they can get more done, in less time (Supports only windows 10/11) It contains a bunch of tools, including: One-click “Fix my PC Button” [SFC & DISM] PC Cache cleanser Wi-Fi Cache cleanser One-click “Update all apps and drivers” button Refresh Display Drivers PC stress test Startup app recommendations GUI for building and running terminal commands Folder organiser File converter Fast image editor Spotlight-search-style quick access bar Voice typing helper Image to text [OCR] Auto Typer Fast anywhere-on-screen color picker Web Apps Launcher Auto Clicker Image to ASCII art Webcam feed to ASCII art (you can use this in google meet, zoom, and while streaming!) Fake Windows update and error screen Each of them assists the user in some way WHAT WAS CHALLENGING? Well, a lot of stuff, firstly this app is made in tkinter, which is torture in itself but to make it look good, I needed ICONS, but that is so hard because then you need to download the icons, use Tk.Image and yk, actually place the icons in the final zip, which takes unnecessary space, eventually, I used EMOJIS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, with the trade-off that now my code looks straight out of GPT-3 Also making the exes with pyinstaller is a hassle, you always forget smth small and have to change it all again. WHAT AM I PROUD OF? The thing I’m most proud of is HyprSearch. Its a spotlight seasrch like app and it is very impressive, I love how managed to handle the searching better than Windows search , because it dosen’t prioritise web search, and is really great when you need to locate something in a pinch. I spent a literal day in school, deciding how the fallback chain for a search string would be (I got punished for not paying attention in class, but WORTH IT). It is the largest tool outside of the launcher, and for good reason!, Also I think I did a good job with the GUI on this one. WHAT PREREQUISITES DO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TESTING? Well, this suite is made for average windows users, who aren’t tech savvy, so almost all dependencies are bundled in the .zip file in releases. The only one you need to have is VLC Media Player, which most people have, and is only for the fake update screen. Thanks for reviewing my project, I spent a lot of thime on this, and i hope you like it! baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...

It treats every window as a physical object with mass, velocity and momentum, then simulates that every frame. This makes movement feel weighted, reactive, and surprisingly satisfying. The spring Every window tracks two positions- where it is, and where it’s going: currentX += (targetX - currentX) * 0.18 That 0.18 is the spring stiffness. Velocity After each position update, velocity is derived from the gap that remains: velocityX = targetX - currentX This is reused for every visual effect.

I started building wobblyOS!, a jellified web-os with some fancy animations that you will all be delighted to see. (using HTMX and github pages)
How wobblyOS windows feel alive The goal of this system is not to “animate” windows with CSS transitions. It treats every window as a physical object with mass, velocity and momentum, then simulates that every frame. This makes movement feel weighted, reactive, and surprisingly satisfying. The spring Every window tracks two positions- where it is, and where it’s going: currentX += (targetX - currentX) * 0.18 That 0.18 is the spring stiffness. Velocity After each position update, velocity is derived from the gap that remains: velocityX = targetX - currentX This is reused for every visual effect. Rotation The window tilts based on how fast it’s moving horizontally: rotate = velocityX * 0.08 Drag it left and it leans left. Etc etc. Squash & stretch Animation principle, applied physically: stretchX = 1 + abs(velocityX) * 0.0015 stretchY = 1 - abs(velocityX) * 0.0008 Fast horizontal movement makes it wider and slightly shorter. Bounce A sine wave modulated by current velocity adds a subtle wobble while moving: bounce = sin(time * 0.015) * min(speed, 25) * 0.15 When still, it does nothing- moving, it oscillates. Open & close A second spring drives the scale when windows appear or disappear: velocity += (target - value) * stiffness value += velocity Open: spring launches from 0 with an initial velocity kick, overshoots 1, bounces back. Close: target flips to 0, the window squashes down toward the taskbar and vanishes. Taskbar Waits 500ms after the window is gone, then pops in on its own spring. Restore reverses it- button springs out first, then the window pops back. Summary Every effect shares one velocity value derived from one spring equation. No CSS transitions, no keyframes, just position, momentum, and a multiply.
Best way to make my “web os” feel like a real app? Disabling user text selection (seriously 😭)
Ships:
I built a minimal “web-os” project using HTMX, Tailwind, DaisyUI, and GitHub Pages! Loosely based on the guide - I look some license to build the app in the way that I’m used to. My incredible, unseen new feature: wobbly windows! The windows wobble around and move super smoothly :p...

I have only slept 6 hours (3:30 prev night and around 2 at evening) for the past 35+ hours. I am only one coffee deep rn. So lets talk about the bugs and all in a little detail. The latest bug I was facing was, I am using an paginate plugin in the backend mongoose aggregate paginate v2 so it doesn’t allow complex queries and stuff and there is a option countQuery which is to be set to the same aggregate used in aggregatePaginate, let me show you with the code const payments = await Payment.aggregatePaginate(paymentAggregate, { page, limit, countQuery: Payment.aggregate(pipeline) }); I had no idea this thing existed because the docs are not well properly documented for the plugin. First of all I was thinking why isn’t the search working my code is completely right, then I came to the conclusion with the help of AI also debugging with me ofc that aggregatePaginate is the problem then I found out that i can use countQuery. Also before this, the search in products table wasn’t working, as I am using a template underneath so I checked the implementation, nuqs package is used for searchParams and for the table I’m using Tanstack Table which also had search filter so I had to get the value from the tanstack table search filter instead of from nuqs which also took me a while to debug. Then before that bug, I had a bug where the table weren’t getting updated if actions were performed on the same page without refresh like delete or in client page create or update, so the issue was I was invalidating queris serverSide instead I had to invalidate clientSide.

Devlog - 05 After adding tests, I decided to dockerize the project. But i was using puppeteer and it causes some issues in docker so i changed it to puppeteer-core and add install commands for chromium separately in docker file. I made everything work after some brutal hours of debugging and fixing and learning as this is my first time working with docker

Finally was able to get my docker deployment working
Devlog - 08 Since I was building a front end for this project and when designing the front end I didn’t had a route for getting all the businesses the logged in user is part of. So I added that route to show all the businesses on the home page of dashboard And also I have email, password login so I needed a route to verify the user who has used email password using a verification code sent on their email.

One more thing is left in this project is to have separate analytics routes for separate modules like clients analytics, products analytics then main dashboard analytics.

Devlog 09 So, I combine two stardance projects (backend, frontend) into one (fullstack), at the time I thought I could ship both together but I had to have both repos connected in one project, I didn’t know at the time and I then abandoned the project and this project was the backend & I added the frontend repo to it so all the fronted devlogs are gone.

Devlog - 10 So now that I’m continuing this project, I decided to use a admin dashboard template and adjust it according to my needs as the main thing I wanna show is my backend skills.

Also I was using a mongodb cluster free tier, now I am using a mongodb replica set on docker. Also the global rate limiter was applied on everything not just /api/v1 so fixed that.

So the client components call the nextjs backend and that backend calls the express Api whereas server component directly call the express Api so I created fetch wrappers for client calls and server calls.

Devlog 11 So i fixed a bug in backend, zod url validation is strict and also requires the protocol https:// to be in the url but now I am using string with regex. For the NextJS part Sign In, Sign Up page fully done with Backend For Frontend (BFF) architecture. Improved fetch wrappers a bit.

I’ve been working for almost 8 hours on this for two days, so tired rn goal is to finish this by tomorrow or I can say today as 1:20 am rn.

There is nothing to say as the time was taken by the coding part, the type errors I faced and all Invoice form was a little complex as I had to add a combobox with debounced search to add products and link to a client. In this devlog there is really nothing much to say as It was all trial and error as this tech is new to me.
Devlog 12 So I added the payments page and fixed a lot of bugs. I have only slept 6 hours (3:30 prev night and around 2 at evening) for the past 35+ hours. I am only one coffee deep rn. So lets talk about the bugs and all in a little detail. The latest bug I was facing was, I am using an paginate plugin in the backend mongoose aggregate paginate v2 so it doesn’t allow complex queries and stuff and there is a option countQuery which is to be set to the same aggregate used in aggregatePaginate, let me show you with the code const payments = await Payment.aggregatePaginate(paymentAggregate, { page, limit, countQuery: Payment.aggregate(pipeline) }); I had no idea this thing existed because the docs are not well properly documented for the plugin.

I built an open-source business management platform backend with authentication, Google OAuth, workspaces, clients, products/services, invoices, payments, analytics, PDF invoice generation, email delivery, and Docker support. What was challenging? Building a scalable architecture, writing integration tests, handling workspace permissions, debugging file uploads, and getting Puppeteer PDF generation working reliably in Docker. What are you proud of? The complete business workflow, clean architecture, Dockerized deployment, and 39+ integration tests that help ensure reliability. How can people test it? Docker setup and environment configuration are included. They can directly docker compose or run using bun or npm...

Made a window, a wallpaper, and a top bar that displays the time Next up im going to work on adding apps, and hopefully later ill add a boot screen!
I added the first app. I created a framework for adding apps and you can drag them around, select them, double click to open them, and they open windows (and possivly do anything since it just calls a function)
I added webrings to my site, when i eventually finish it fully ill apply to join them!!
I added 2 new apps. An about me and a net neighbors section. I added a bunch of image buttons to my top bar, they show stuff about me, like pc gamer, cat owner, etc. I added a font for the windows.

Sushupti - Devlog 1 Well I went to my hackatime dashboard to see how much I worked each day in graphically format and there was no way to do so, stardance website helps in that but telling a linux user to open a url on browser to see some hours is stupid…. Thus I am working on Sushupti a GO-CLI program that provides u daily based data on ur hackatime stats and even makes u a graph which can be used to flex. I am still working on it API is setup, I get the data lwk fine what left is to make the output beautiful and lwk make a export as png/jpg option
SUSHUPTI : We came a long way chat First I was making something just to show graph on terminal then I made a png export with gos image library which lets u make a png to flex on ur friend Both dark and white mode too both are in the screenshot below AND NOW I AM MAKING A WHOLE TUI APP LIKE FULLY TUI BASED IT WILL BE CRAZY SCOPE CREEPED CREEPED ON ME LIKE WTF I realised I cant upload more then 1 png so its how the project looks u can go on github I have image of graph there ITS TORTURE TBH like TUI SHI IS SO HARD whatever here is what i made
Sushupti Devlog 3 We came a very very long way….I worked more on TUI rn and this is how it looks [that menu does nothing I am about to remove it]….THIS IS MY BEST TUI PROJECT SO FAR I AM LOVING IT….hopefully hack club notices this…I would be great full….For those who dont know this is TUI version of Hackatime in ur terminal for those nerds like me that just like aesthetics of TUI or just wanna check there stats fast while doing code avoiding to use browser [Basically Linux Users]….Lets see How Far I can take this
Sushupti Devlog 4 I am loving this, I dont actually think anyone would download my CLI project but for me it looks so good and tuff its amazing….Rn I did more work on the UI, Finally lwk changed the hardcoded TUI…added Leaderboard box, created some modular functions for usability and plan to remove the sidebar as its useless tbh…but its cool at the end…idk remove it or spent 5 more hr doing it thing is…I dont think people would like the project….[idk i am maybe not that confident with this one] but I like it a lot [so i am lwk confused that should i spend more time on it or not]
Sushupti Devlog 5 Here are all the changes I did from last version/devlog added # for bar graph old one felt too perfect now these graphs animate into growth on startup now HEADER TITLE has this spinning line beside it on red color those are all the changes …u may notice none of them are a real feature because once a wise man [steve jobs] said “Design is how it works.”
Sushupti Devlog 6 here are all the changes that I did from the previous devlog removed useless side bar and then change the sidebar with something attractive and somewhat helpful Ig and earlier i was thinking to add a short the of user but then this felt way better as i need daily data personally then my lifetime stats tbh then I added the mascot of this product hackcat idk why i call it that…that space just felt empty and the hackcat felt right onto it….i might add more animation to it but adding just these 10 idle frame killed me
Sushupti Devlog 7 While hackatime is on maintenance I think its a good time to take a break from this project and work on something fun small….Cant even send SS of how it looks as Hackatime is on maintenance…..I got very much attached with TUI applications tbh…So I plan to make another TUI application….I wanna keep it short so I have not planned anything yet…maybe a wifi connector or bluetooth or whtver it depends tbh
Sushupti Devlog 8 Sad time for us chat, The Language line graph i was about to add cant be added…as HACKATIME API just doesnt provide data regarding it [if it does then pls tell me…]….so like…i am planning ot change this specific graph with a projects graph telling % of projects you used…I am out of ideas for more boxes so am Lwk open for any one you give me…Rn I am busy making the code better..because its a MESS TRUST ME DONT OPEN MY GITHUB REPO…ITS DEADLY…AND IF U DO JUST DONT READ THE COMMITS…U MIGHT DIE LAUGHING [my friend did] Lol Ok Aparts from joke ig rn i am 10h into this project…and its near end after some changes ig 5h more it will be done…hopefully it gets good rated i spent too much time making it lol….came a long way just go see my first devlog a entirely diff idea lol
Sushupti Devlog 9 I normally use Zed as my code editor, and rn making this TUI program, isnt it hypocrisy..So I decided to change that…TOOK 1 HOUR…OF EFFORT TO SETUP NEOVIM….and now i am saying if i use neovim for like 1month i am not going back, i am liking many of its thing and it just feels like something made for me…. Here is a screenshot of how my neovim looks rn after all config i did…I have neovim setup on my laptop as well as mobile so like soon you can see my coding hours exploding…There are also many changes I did from the last version which i will cover on devlog 10 lwk to make my devlogs strucutred af
Sushupti devlog 10 Just 1 word….CRAZY …this thing is crazy this one is probably my longest session so far for sushupti firstly i cleaned my whole code this task alone took 3h [i am doing this from ig past few days] and its still not done i still have to work on tui.go main.go graph.go and some other files But As I had just cleaned tui package fully, styles package fully [new package btw making my work sooo easy and clean] and utils package i decided to add some more boxes and make it better this i added Clock Box - I am using https://github.com/common-nighthawk/go-figure for the beautifull text you see there Date Box - I had to lwk make it too using go-figures but I had to add a popup area [will tell why in future devlogs if i add it] Project Graph box is complete ITS THE HARDEST BOX OF THEM ALL HARDER THEN OVERVIEW FOR SOME REASON IDK WHY but it looks soosoosososo otuffff I edited the leaderboard box in a manner so it shows the color codes used by project graph [quality of life feature ig] You see that cat, now it moves….from right to left…[idk why i added it tbh… i just wanted more moving things lol] And then other features that i did are mostly based on cleaning code like lwk each mathmatical stats function that i calculated everytime in every render has a func now in utils/stats.go Thats it for this devlog we are near the end of SUSHUPTI ig…I just dont get much views on devlogs so i dont really know people will like it or not…if you are reading this then pls comment
SUSHUPTI DEVLOG 11 HEY HUMAN this is a lesson making clean code doesn’t exist u tryna make clean code and u spent time cleaning it rather then making proj…what u should do is make clean code forms start dont be like me who changed scope 67 times and then messed code and now spent 3h just making what devs say as a CLEAN CODE…..dont do that…[this dont do that line made me remember a past trauma that i had gotten from that indie film….Obsession…has anyone watched it…ig most people had already lol]
SUSHUPTI DEVLOG 12 We came a long way, this is like the last devlog of the first commit everything is done readme is done installation is done just run this command for linux/mac/android/WSL users curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dat-one-dev/Sushupti/main/install.sh | sh So easy so well made just…fantastic u know, Now I can finally ship the project…
Sushupti Devlog 13 Never really thought i would have to make another devlog for this proj…but had to because well when i shipped it i got rejected cuz there was a error because I WASNT USING FLOAT64 INSTEAD OF INTEGER AAAAAA [and thats why i like go….]
