I’ve also been taking a lot of inspiration from Awwwards sites. One thing I’ve noticed is that the best sites aren’t just crazy because they have crazy effects. The really good ones make those effects work properly across devices. That became a pretty big focus for me. performance I added separate cases for different hardware. If a device has hardware acceleration, it can use the full experience. If it doesn’t, the site falls back to a lighter version so the effects don’t completely destroy performance. There’s also a separate lite mode and a mobile mode .

The plan is to get the website to how i want it to look and finish it off in one commit. and ofc future changes will be committed, but i want something to show first. The entire thing is just pure html, css, and js. no frameworks.
devlog 02 - making the site work everywhere The site has changed quite a bit since the first version. the new look I’ve changed a lot of the actual interface and started pushing the visual direction much further. I also added the custom cursor from xenobiota . I really liked how something that small could change the whole feel of the site, so I wanted to try it here too. I’ve also been taking a lot of inspiration from Awwwards sites. One thing I’ve noticed is that the best sites aren’t just crazy because they have crazy effects. The really good ones make those effects work properly across devices. That became a pretty big focus for me. performance I added separate cases for different hardware. If a device has hardware acceleration, it can use the full experience. If it doesn’t, the site falls back to a lighter version so the effects don’t completely destroy performance. There’s also a separate lite mode and a mobile mode . I don’t want the site to only look good on the machine I built it on. small things I’ve also been making the interactions a bit more obvious, especially around muting and unmuting. There are still a lot of little things like this that I’m catching as I actually use the site instead of just looking at it. documenting the process I’m also working on something I want to add directly to the site: a breakdown of the design process. I want to explain why certain colours, fonts, layouts and effects were chosen instead of just putting the finished site in front of someone and leaving them to guess. The site is the portfolio piece, but the process behind making it should be part of it too.
devlog 03 - i think we’re done I think heith.me is done. Everything I wanted to implement is in now. The full site, the effects, the different device cases, the lite mode, the mobile mode, the interactions, the performance fallbacks, all of it. I’ve also finished the design process stuff I wanted to document, so the site isn’t just showing the final result. There is actually an explanation behind why I chose certain colours, fonts, layouts and effects. I wanted to build the whole thing as one process instead of constantly adding random features forever. So I’m stopping here. I don’t really plan on committing changes later down the line unless something is actually broken or I absolutely need to change something. I wanted this to be a finished piece, not another project that keeps getting new features until the original idea is gone. The only thing left is getting the domain. I’m waiting for the website domain grant to go through so I can finally buy the domain I designed this site around. So yeah. here guys. https://aamosm.github.io/heith.me/ ..the attached image is the portfolio page. also a note i wanted to add.. : this website has taken much longer than what is timed. the actual pen paper designs. getting together failed projects in other folders. designing in figma etc. was not tracked. This happens a lot with the projects i do in missions but somehow it affected a chunk of this one too. also i just realised this project has been listed as hardware???? its software. and i cant change it now. ill have to get help from support
guys. just to remind you before you rate this work. the best experience of the site is ona good pc with hardware acceleration *on in your browser. for mobile and lower end computers it is very basic. it will give out the same info but the design is very basic. and the design is the main thing abt it. it is very basic on phones etc. as seen below. ofc the effort has still been put in to make it look good with a video and other features.
Ships:
heith.me - shipping This site started from a pretty simple motivation: I wanted the portfolio itself to be part of the work, not just a page containing it. I wanted to see how far I could push a plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript site without a framework or build system, while still making it work properly across different devices. The visual direction came from a lot of different sites and ideas I liked, but the final site ended up being its own thing. The site tries to break all molds while being simple as well, If not a portfolio it serves as a learning experience. So yeah, it’s done. heith.me...

I made a dumb site where you just smash plates, cups, etc. I made it with the idea of a stress-relief website in mind. I built it as an experiment to learn about Matter.js — it’s not up to the mark, but I learned a lot while building it. The hardest part was definitely creating the shard shapes, and also lining up the objects to the shelf. The thing I’m most proud of is the sound — it’s completely generated live with the Web Audio API and sounds pretty realistic. To test it, just swipe or drag through any item....

That heart is only half real. I drew the left side and the editor drew the right side under my pencil, live. Mirror mode landed today, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time just watching the other half appear. Two more things came with it. The Export dialog now plays your actual GIF before you download it, next to its true size, same bytes as the download, so the dialog can’t lie to you. My greeting star comes out at 2.4 KB, using 125 of 256 colors. And the encoder learned to lose colors gracefully, which is my favorite thing I’ve built this week: How it works A GIF holds at most 256 colors. Until today, art with more colors hit a wall, an error message asking you to reduce your palette. I hated that message, so now the encoder runs median cut instead. Median cut, in human terms: pour every color in your drawing into one box. Find the box’s longest side, red, green or blue, whichever stretches widest, sort the colors along that side, and cut the box in half at the median. Repeat, always cutting the widest box you have left. After 255 cuts you hold 256 boxes, and each box’s average becomes one crayon in the final palette. Colors that sat close together end up sharing a crayon, which is exactly the kind of loss your eye forgives. The sneaky part is that the same drawing must produce the identical file every single time, so every sort breaks ties by the color’s own value and every average rounds the same way. There’s a test that encodes the same art twice and demands the bytes back, identical. Receipts 563 green tests ~10,000 colors in, 256 out, in about 23ms ffmpeg decodes the quantized file, and re-encoding what it hands back produces the identical bytes Last post I asked you to export a GIF and drop it in the comments. Nobody did :C, fair enough, the star was doing all the work. So today I made it personal: open starforge.lacorte.city , turn on mirror mode, and draw half a thing. The editor does the other half. Post what you get, I’ll feature my favorite in the next devlog :D. And a real question I can’t decide alone: diagonal axes or kaleidoscope. which should mirror mode learn first?

The GIF above was drawn, animated and exported inside Starforge. Yesterday I said I was writing the GIF encoder by hand. It’s finished, and already sitting behind the Export button in the editor. How it works A GIF doesn’t store pixels. It stores a conversation between two sides that build the same notebook and never send it. The encoder walks the image. The first time it meets a run of pixels it spells the run out, then writes that run in a notebook next to a number. The next time the same run shows up, it sends the number instead of the pixels. The decoder reads those numbers and builds the identical notebook as it goes, which is why the notebook itself never travels, both sides derive it from the same stream. That’s LZW, and it’s lovely right up until you notice the decoder is permanently one entry behind. It can’t file a new run until it has read the code that comes after it. So when the notebook outgrows the current code width, the two sides widen at different moments, and the encoder has to wait one step longer than feels correct. Get that off-by-one wrong and the file is perfect for a few hundred bytes and then dissolves into confetti. That was my morning. Receipts 545 green tests I encoded with my code and decoded with ffmpeg . Every pixel came back identical 16 frames of 256×256 encode in 135ms Browsers quietly treat any GIF delay under 2 centiseconds as 10, so the encoder floors every frame there.

The first ship reviews asked for three things: custom colors (two voters), a less twitchy zoom (one), and opening files (one). All three landed this week.

And you can now save and open editable .starforge projects, including inside a Portable PNG, a real image with the whole project embedded in it, so the file you post is also the file you can keep editing. Wheel deltas lie about intent A Mac voter said the zoom flew. They were right, and the bug was pretty interesting (it also ate my whole morning). One click of a mouse wheel arrives as a single event of about 100px, but a trackpad glide arrives as dozens of tiny ~4px events. The old code stepped the zoom once per event: a mouse user got one clean step per click, a trackpad user got twenty-five. And I didn’t even know pinch was part of the bug until I read how Chrome handles it: a pinch is faked as ctrl+wheel, so it lands in the same handler too. The fix: accumulate to 100, then discard the remainder. Every event banks its delta. A step only fires when the bank crosses a notch, and turning around mid-glide resets the bank instead of cancelling a step you already saw.

How it works Most web editors take your drawing with them when they break. This one doesn’t.

The browser only tells the page where the mouse is once per screen frame (~60fps), but a hand can cross half the canvas between two of those reports and a quick zigzag would become a trail of separated dots. The fix comes in two layers: First , the browser actually keeps the positions it skipped and hands them back in a bundle with each event, so I ask for those in-between samples. Second , even those have gaps when the gesture is really fast, so between every pair of samples I draw a tiny line using Bresenham algorithm , the same grid walker my line tool uses, it steps from one pixel to a touching neighbor and can’t skip a cell by construction. So every stroke you see is secretly dozens of tiny straight lines, stitched end to end. Tomorrow i will start landing Layers to our studio.

A sprite’s pixels live in one Uint8Array wrapped in an ImageData view, using only one buffer for model and image bytes. Stage one pushes just the changed rectangle onto an offscreen canvas (1:1) which ignores scaling and smoothing so it never blurs. Stage two is a single draw image that stretches the offscreen canvas to the current zoom with the GPU doing the nearest-neighbor upscaling for free. When the pencil lands next ship, the bytes it writes are already the bytes the renderer reads."}]...

⭐ Starforge is alive in the browser! This is day two building a multiplayer pixel art studio. So far the editor opens with a little star, and every pixel stays razor sharp at any zoom. With 37 green tests I already started coding the first drawing tools (pencil, eraser, bucket). The sharpness comes from a two stage blit with shared memory. A sprite’s pixels live in one Uint8Array wrapped in an ImageData view, using only one buffer for model and image bytes. Stage one pushes just the changed rectangle onto an offscreen canvas (1:1) which ignores scaling and smoothing so it never blurs. Stage two is a single draw image that stretches the offscreen canvas to the current zoom with the GPU doing the nearest-neighbor upscaling for free. When the pencil lands next ship, the bytes it writes are already the bytes the renderer reads.
⭐ Starfoge: A multiplayer pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. Day three, and it finally draws! The whole toolbox landed with six drawing tools and keyboard shortcuts already known by pixel artists. Yesterday’s 37 green tests are 117 today. Today i want to deep dive in one of the questions i had: why fast strokes come out dotted. The browser only tells the page where the mouse is once per screen frame (~60fps), but a hand can cross half the canvas between two of those reports and a quick zigzag would become a trail of separated dots. The fix comes in two layers: First , the browser actually keeps the positions it skipped and hands them back in a bundle with each event, so I ask for those in-between samples. Second , even those have gaps when the gesture is really fast, so between every pair of samples I draw a tiny line using Bresenham algorithm , the same grid walker my line tool uses, it steps from one pixel to a touching neighbor and can’t skip a cell by construction. So every stroke you see is secretly dozens of tiny straight lines, stitched end to end. Tomorrow i will start landing Layers to our studio. Thanks for reading and see you on the next devlog :D
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art editor that runs in your browser. Yesterday it could only draw in a single surface. Today the same old star is five stacked layers, carrying its own opacity, visibility and lock, plus a rule for how its colors blend with the layers below. How it works Compositing every layer on every frame can’t hold 60fps. At 256x256 with eight layers at 800% zoom that’s eight blits of 2048×2048 per frame, about 33 megapixels of work to show a picture that didn’t change. So the editor composites once per change into an offscreen canvas, and the screen just draws that one image. Rendering with no cost since that nothing changed. All with 169 green tests.
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art editor that runs in your browser. No engine work today, since I focused on a more important point: Whoever opens starforge.lacorte.city from a feed post, leaves in about two minutes, with no instructions and usually a phone in their hand, so the whole day went into that first visit. You can start your own document now insted of only erasing the star, your drawings survives a reload, and on a phone the layer panel became a drawer. How it works Most web editors take your drawing with them when they break. This one doesn’t. When a component throws, an error boundary renders a screen where Export PNG still works, if the editor dies, you get the PNG out before you reload. Two reasons that’s possible. The document never lived inside the component that broke: it belongs to the DocumentSession, outside the render tree. And the export never goes through the editor, it composites the frame straight from the document. The thing that holds your art and the thing that failed are not the same thing. Receipts: 208 green tests draw, reload, auto-save a keys help menu for shortcuts and gestures zoom by button, fit in one click Tomorrow morning the first real ship goes out :D
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. The first ship reviews asked for three things: custom colors (two voters), a less twitchy zoom (one), and opening files (one). All three landed this week. The Color Studio mixes any color in HSV, hex or per-channel RGBA and drops it straight into your palette. The zoom got tamed (story below). And you can now save and open editable .starforge projects, including inside a Portable PNG, a real image with the whole project embedded in it, so the file you post is also the file you can keep editing. Wheel deltas lie about intent A Mac voter said the zoom flew. They were right, and the bug was pretty interesting (it also ate my whole morning). One click of a mouse wheel arrives as a single event of about 100px, but a trackpad glide arrives as dozens of tiny ~4px events. The old code stepped the zoom once per event: a mouse user got one clean step per click, a trackpad user got twenty-five. And I didn’t even know pinch was part of the bug until I read how Chrome handles it: a pinch is faked as ctrl+wheel, so it lands in the same handler too. The fix: accumulate to 100, then discard the remainder. Every event banks its delta. A step only fires when the bank crosses a notch, and turning around mid-glide resets the bank instead of cancelling a step you already saw. Receipts : 511 green tests an e2e that draws, reloads the page and exports in a real browser golden ink fixtures pinned by SHA256 Those numbered cells at the bottom of the screenshot are tomorrow’s story :D
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. Yesterday I said those numbered cells at the bottom of the screenshot were today’s story. Here they are: every cell is a frame with its own duration in milliseconds, play runs the reel on the document’s own clock, and since today, the frame you’re drawing shows its neighbours behind it as ghosts. The star that greets you is a loop with 4 frames now, so you can already see the animation. Receipts : 527 green tests 3 recompositions parked with ghosts on three new end-to-end tests in a real browser Next : I’m writing a GIF encoder from scratch. By hand. :D
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. The GIF above was drawn, animated and exported inside Starforge. Yesterday I said I was writing the GIF encoder by hand. It’s finished, and already sitting behind the Export button in the editor. How it works A GIF doesn’t store pixels. It stores a conversation between two sides that build the same notebook and never send it. The encoder walks the image. The first time it meets a run of pixels it spells the run out, then writes that run in a notebook next to a number. The next time the same run shows up, it sends the number instead of the pixels. The decoder reads those numbers and builds the identical notebook as it goes, which is why the notebook itself never travels, both sides derive it from the same stream. That’s LZW, and it’s lovely right up until you notice the decoder is permanently one entry behind. It can’t file a new run until it has read the code that comes after it. So when the notebook outgrows the current code width, the two sides widen at different moments, and the encoder has to wait one step longer than feels correct. Get that off-by-one wrong and the file is perfect for a few hundred bytes and then dissolves into confetti. That was my morning. Receipts 545 green tests I encoded with my code and decoded with ffmpeg . Every pixel came back identical 16 frames of 256×256 encode in 135ms Browsers quietly treat any GIF delay under 2 centiseconds as 10, so the encoder floors every frame there. Draw something at starforge.lacorte.city , export the GIF, and drop it in the comments! I’ll feature my favorites in the next devlog :D.
⭐ Day 18 of building Starforge, a pixel art & animation studio that lives in your browser. That heart is only half real. I drew the left side and the editor drew the right side under my pencil, live. Mirror mode landed today, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time just watching the other half appear. Two more things came with it. The Export dialog now plays your actual GIF before you download it, next to its true size, same bytes as the download, so the dialog can’t lie to you. My greeting star comes out at 2.4 KB, using 125 of 256 colors. And the encoder learned to lose colors gracefully, which is my favorite thing I’ve built this week: How it works A GIF holds at most 256 colors. Until today, art with more colors hit a wall, an error message asking you to reduce your palette. I hated that message, so now the encoder runs median cut instead. Median cut, in human terms: pour every color in your drawing into one box. Find the box’s longest side, red, green or blue, whichever stretches widest, sort the colors along that side, and cut the box in half at the median. Repeat, always cutting the widest box you have left. After 255 cuts you hold 256 boxes, and each box’s average becomes one crayon in the final palette. Colors that sat close together end up sharing a crayon, which is exactly the kind of loss your eye forgives. The sneaky part is that the same drawing must produce the identical file every single time, so every sort breaks ties by the color’s own value and every average rounds the same way. There’s a test that encodes the same art twice and demands the bytes back, identical. Receipts 563 green tests ~10,000 colors in, 256 out, in about 23ms ffmpeg decodes the quantized file, and re-encoding what it hands back produces the identical bytes Last post I asked you to export a GIF and drop it in the comments. Nobody did :C, fair enough, the star was doing all the work. So today I made it personal: open starforge.lacorte.city , turn on mirror mode, and draw half a thing. The editor does the other half. Post what you get, I’ll feature my favorite in the next devlog :D. And a real question I can’t decide alone: diagonal axes or kaleidoscope. which should mirror mode learn first? Both are on the backlog. You can decide the order. (If you want to catch the next post, follow the project, that button actually notifies you. )
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. Since last week Starforge learned how to disagree without falling apart, and got more comfortable on tablets along the way. This is the first piece of multiplayer, two complete editors, two independent copies of the same drawing, and a queue between them. There is no server yet. I can draw in both editors, hold every message back, reverse their order, deliver one twice, and the documents still finish on the same pixels. Alongside that invisible foundation, community conversations pointed at five visible workflow breaks: the compact tablet layout only kicked in below 720 px, colours sat with layers and frames instead of the brush, palette authoring bounced between two dialogs, brush opacity used a tiny track while layer opacity had a fine large slider, and precise add/subtract selection hid behind keyboard modifiers touch users never see. All five are fixed in this pass. Receipts 633 green unit tests, with 4 ffmpeg cross four pinned seeds × 100 generated operations across three replicas, including pixel conflicts, scalar edits, palette replacement, layer/frame creation, deletion and ordering 20 Chromium E2E tests pass receiving and applying a 900-pixel patch averages about 0.49 ms on my development machine (2,034 patches/second in the recorded run) zero production dependencies in the core Next: the queue becomes a real wire, WebSocket handshake will be written by hand on node:http with the relay on a Raspberry Pi.
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser. Last time the relay queue was in memory. Now it is a real wire using native WebSocket to talk with the relay I wrote by hand on node:http , handshake, framing, mask, fragmentation, ping/pong, close codes, all of it. Draw a horizontal stroke here, a vertical one there, and both canvases land on the same pixels. 900 pixels travel in 2,730 bytes. Raw it would be 7,200 (8 bytes per pixel: u16 x , u16 y , u32 color ). On the wire the cells sort by (y, x) , coordinates go as zigzag deltas, colors go as an index into a 1-entry table. That is 3.033 bytes per pixel, and every one of the 19 operation kinds round-trips byte-for-byte. The server does not trust a single byte, each op is validated with the same applyOperation the editor uses, on a clone. A bad op earns an ERROR and the connection stays open. Receipts: 662 unit tests green 23 Chromium E2E zero production dependencies Next: the ephemeral room becomes shareable rooms /r/<id>
Ships:
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art studio that runs entirely in your browser. Open starforge.lacorte.city and draw. This first ship is the whole editor core, built from scratch in TypeScript with zero dependencies in the core. Draw : pencil, eraser, line, rectangle and ellipse (outline or filled), and a bucket fill with per-channel tolerance and a contiguous/global switch. Rectangular selection that lifts the pixels and lets you drag them anywhere. Layers : add, duplicate, reorder, rename. Per-layer opacity, seven blend modes, visibility and lock. Keep your work : undo/redo across pixel strokes and structural edits alike, autosave in the browser, and PNG export If the editor ever crashes, the error screen still exports your drawing. Under the hood : 208 tests, including property tests that throw hundreds of random actions at the history and require a byte-identical document back. The renderer composites once per change, not once per layer: the cache key is two integers, and panning triggers zero recompositions. Flood fill, Bresenham lines, ellipse rasterizer, composito, all hand-rolled, no graphics libraries. Where it’s going : the “multiplayer” in the tagline is the arc: a hand-rolled CRDT (last-writer-wins per cell with Lamport clocks) and shareable rooms are the next major ships. Works on your phone. Shortcuts follow Aseprite. Press ? in the editor.
⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs entirely in your browser. Open (starforge.lacorte.city)[https://starforge.lacorte.city] and draw, as of this ship, your drawing moves. Ship 2 is the Animation Update. Animate : a frame timeline where every frame carries its own duration in milliseconds. Add, reorder and duplicate frames, play the reel on the document’s own clock, and draw with onion skinning. Export : an animated GIF encoder written byte by byte, from the GIF89a header to the LZW dictionary resets. When your art has more than 256 colors, a hand-rolled median-cut quantizer folds it into a legal palette instead of refusing. The Export dialog plays the actual GIF before you download it, next to its true byte size. Spritesheets come out of the same door. Draw : mirror mode, switch on an axis and the editor paints the reflection live under your pencil. The Color Studio mixes any color in HSV, hex or per-channel RGBA. Trackpad zoom got tamed: wheel deltas accumulate into clean notches instead of stepping twenty-five times per glide. Keep your work : editable .starforge project files, and Portable PNG, a real image with the whole project embedded inside, so the file you post is also the file you keep editing. Autosave still catches every stroke, and even a crash screen can still export your drawing. Under the hood : 563 tests, zero dependencies in the core. The encoder is proven against ffmpeg that decodes my GIFs and every pixel comes back identical, including a noise frame built to overflow the LZW dictionary. Quantization is deterministic, same art to the same bytes, and folds ~10,000 colors into 256 in about 23ms. Where it’s going : next ship, the “multiplayer” in the tagline becomes real, a hand-rolled CRDT (last-writer-wins per cell, Lamport clocks) and shareable rooms. Works on your phone. Shortcuts follow Aseprite. Press ? in the editor....

DevLog_6 So My dum Brain found out that Python Envs cannot just be “Packaged “ and Used on another Computer Sooooo I Updated the Startup Scripts to Make One On startup. Also IDK why but my dummahh tried to Retrain a local 2B pretrained Model but after getting 1 Epoch in 2 HOURS I just Lost Hope and Dumped the Idea.
So I was Finally Able to get Pyrunner Working and Make the Godamm executables for Linux and Windows. Well Finally after 22 Hours of Working and a dead Pen Drive (Idk why tf its Firmware Got erased) I finally Completed Cue
So I Found out that One of the Model I was Using Was Not Capable of the Task 🥀🥀, So I Updated the code to Use New Capable Models and also Retry If the Model Could not Extract the Data. And Now I gotta Wait Till Tommorrow Till I can ReMake the Windows Exe File (I use Linux soooo) 😭😭😭
So I Broke it Again , the Models were Broken So i Just Updated the Models and Increased The Number of API Tries to 15
So I noticed that I had put the AI usage to None in the beginning but later i used it to find some bugs etc and make the startup scripts so heres my AI usage if you wanna know
So my ship was rejected as I had used AI to generate the UI, so i just worked on the new Ui and some Bugs.

Also another thing was Getting the Models to Cooperate and Stop “Hallucinating” Random Output The thing I’m Proud of the Most is that I was Able to Get the Wayland Screenshot Working and Also How I implemented the Paralled AI model Contacting Architecture for speed. So To try Cue out, You Just Click Try Project it will download a ZIP file, Extract that and Open the Folder. In the Folder Run “Cue_Windows.bat” for Windows and “Cue_Linux-Mac.sh” for Linux or Mac. Ensure that python is Installed and For Mac The Program has Permissions (In more detail on github Readme)...

Local-first, no account, no server. What was challenging? The markdown parser broke on multi-line constructs. Rewrote it line-by-line. KaTeX loads async so had to chain CSS then JS then auto-render. Formula OCR needed a text-to-LaTeX converter since Tesseract is for text not math. What are you proud of?

A markdown note editor called Margen, built with a “digital typewriter” aesthetic. The app is a three-column layout: a sidebar with the list of notes, a raw markdown editor pane, and a live preview pane that renders the markdown as you type. The markdown parser is written from scratch, no marked.js or any library, just a chain of regex and line-by-line processing. Built in four planned betas, currently on Beta 3. Beta 1 was the basics: editor, preview, note list, search, auto-save. Beta 2 fixed a bug where opening a note to read it would mark it as modified, added a markdown cheat sheet accessible via a button, and rewrote the markdown parser which had bugs with lists, blockquotes and code blocks. Beta 3 added LaTeX support via KaTeX for math formulas, a formula toolbar with 16 buttons that insert LaTeX at the cursor so you don’t need to know LaTeX syntax, a dark mode with a warm dark palette, and an ES/EN language toggle. Everything is local-first, stored in localStorage, no account, no server, no tracking. The goal is a clean, offline place to write university notes with formulas, without the bloat of Notion or the online-only dependency of most editors. What was challenging? The markdown parser was the hardest part. My first version used a single regex per element type, which broke on multi-line constructs like lists and blockquotes. The blockquote bug was sneaky: after escaping HTML, the > character becomes >, but my regex was looking for > literally, so blockquotes never matched. Rewrote the parser to process line by line, opening and closing ul/ol/blockquote tags as it goes, and protecting code blocks in a temporary array so other regexes don’t touch them. The LaTeX integration had a loading order issue. KaTeX loads from CDN asynchronously, so the first renderMathInElement call would fail because the library wasn’t ready yet. Had to chain the loads: first KaTeX CSS, then KaTeX JS, then the auto-render extension, and only then try to render. If a formula has a syntax error, I set throwOnError to false so it shows the raw LaTeX instead of breaking the whole preview. The dirty flag bug from Beta 2 was a design problem. Before, every time you opened a note it would save with modificada=now and jump to the top of the sidebar, which made browsing notes frustrating. Had to track whether the user actually changed anything before marking a note as modified. What are you proud of? The markdown parser, written entirely from scratch, no library. About 150 lines of regex and line-by-line processing, handles headers, bold, italic, lists, code blocks, inline code, links, images, blockquotes and horizontal rules. The formula toolbar with 16 buttons that insert LaTeX at the cursor position, so you can write math without knowing LaTeX syntax. And the “digital typewriter” aesthetic: Bitter serif for rendered content, Inter for UI, JetBrains Mono for the raw editor, thin dividing lines instead of cards or shadows. What should people know so they can test your project? Open the demo URL. A welcome note with markdown examples appears on first launch. Click the + button in the sidebar to create a new note. Type markdown in the left pane, see it rendered live in the right pane. Click the ? button to open a markdown cheat sheet. Click the “formulas” button in the editor header to open a toolbar with 16 math buttons (square root, integral, fraction, etc.) that insert LaTeX at the cursor. Click the “ajustes” button to switch between light/dark mode and ES/EN language. Notes auto-save to localStorage, nothing is sent anywhere.

Started a new project called Margen, a markdown note editor for university notes. The idea came from wanting a clean, offline place to write notes with formulas, without the bloat of Notion or the online-only dependency of most editors. Beta 1 is the basics.

The sidebar shows title, first line preview and relative date for each note, and filters instantly as you type in the search bar. Next version will add subjects (folders), tags, and better organization.
Beta 2 of Margen fixes a usability bug and adds helpful features. Fixed the modified timestamp bug. Before, every time you opened a note to read it, it would save with modificada=now and jump to the top of the sidebar list. Now there is a dirty flag that tracks whether you actually changed anything. Opening a note to read it does not mark it as modified. The sidebar list stays stable when you are just browsing.

I personally like this version, this is like, the base of what i want to build, i would leave it like this and thats it, but I feel that i can get better at coding if i just add more things, it would be more usefull
Beta 3 of Margen adds LaTeX support, dark mode and multi-language. LaTeX is the big one. KaTeX loads from CDN the first time you need it, then renders $…$ as inline math and $$…$$ as block math. So you can write $E=mc^2$ inline or a full integral in a block. If a formula has an error it just shows the raw text instead of breaking the preview. The formula toolbar was important to me because I don’t know LaTeX syntax by heart. A “formulas” button in the editor header opens a bar with 16 buttons: square root, integral, fraction, superscript, subscript, sum, limit, Greek letters, infinity, plus-minus, inequalities, arrows.

Dark mode uses a warm dark palette instead of the usual cold gray, so it still feels like the typewriter aesthetic. The toggle is in a settings panel in the sidebar, along with an ES/EN language switch that translates the whole UI. Next version will be the last: code syntax highlighting, PDF export, and PWA installable for offline use on desktop and Android. But I’m starting to get tired, so i wil be on vacation for the next week!
Beta 4 of Margen, the final version. Four additions. Code syntax highlighting via highlight.js. Code blocks in the preview now get colored based on language. Works in dark mode too. Export and import. An export button downloads the current note as a standalone HTML file with markdown, LaTeX and code already rendered, and opens the print dialog so you can save it as PDF. An import button lets you load an existing .md file as a new note. PWA installable. A service worker caches the core files so the app works offline on desktop and Android.

What did you make? A markdown note editor called Margen, built with a “digital typewriter” aesthetic. The app is a three-column layout: a sidebar with the list of notes, a raw markdown editor pane, and a live preview pane that renders the markdown as you type. The markdown parser is written from scratch, no marked.js or any library, just a chain of regex and line-by-line processing. Built in four planned betas, currently on Beta 3. Beta 1 was the basics: editor, preview, note list, search, auto-save. Beta 2 fixed a bug where opening a note to read it would mark it as modified, added a markdown cheat sheet accessible via a button, and rewrote the markdown parser which had bugs with lists, blockquotes and code blocks. Beta 3 added LaTeX support via KaTeX for math formulas, a formula toolbar with 16 buttons that insert LaTeX at the cursor so you don’t need to know LaTeX syntax, a dark mode with a warm dark palette, and an ES/EN language toggle. Everything is local-first, stored in localStorage, no account, no server, no tracking. The goal is a clean, offline place to write university notes with formulas, without the bloat of Notion or the online-only dependency of most editors. What was challenging? The markdown parser was the hardest part. My first version used a single regex per element type, which broke on multi-line constructs like lists and blockquotes. The blockquote bug was sneaky: after escaping HTML, the > character becomes >, but my regex was looking for > literally, so blockquotes never matched. Rewrote the parser to process line by line, opening and closing ul/ol/blockquote tags as it goes, and protecting code blocks in a temporary array so other regexes don’t touch them. The LaTeX integration had a loading order issue. KaTeX loads from CDN asynchronously, so the first renderMathInElement call would fail because the library wasn’t ready yet. Had to chain the loads: first KaTeX CSS, then KaTeX JS, then the auto-render extension, and only then try to render. If a formula has a syntax error, I set throwOnError to false so it shows the raw LaTeX instead of breaking the whole preview. The dirty flag bug from Beta 2 was a design problem. Before, every time you opened a note it would save with modificada=now and jump to the top of the sidebar, which made browsing notes frustrating. Had to track whether the user actually changed anything before marking a note as modified. What are you proud of? The markdown parser, written entirely from scratch, no library. About 150 lines of regex and line-by-line processing, handles headers, bold, italic, lists, code blocks, inline code, links, images, blockquotes and horizontal rules. The formula toolbar with 16 buttons that insert LaTeX at the cursor position, so you can write math without knowing LaTeX syntax. And the “digital typewriter” aesthetic: Bitter serif for rendered content, Inter for UI, JetBrains Mono for the raw editor, thin dividing lines instead of cards or shadows. What should people know so they can test your project? Open the demo URL. A welcome note with markdown examples appears on first launch. Click the + button in the sidebar to create a new note. Type markdown in the left pane, see it rendered live in the right pane. Click the ? button to open a markdown cheat sheet. Click the “formulas” button in the editor header to open a toolbar with 16 math buttons (square root, integral, fraction, etc.) that insert LaTeX at the cursor. Click the “ajustes” button to switch between light/dark mode and ES/EN language. Notes auto-save to localStorage, nothing is sent anywhere.

What did you make? A markdown note editor called Margen with a digital typewriter aesthetic. Three columns: sidebar with notes, raw markdown editor, live preview. The parser is written from scratch, no library. Six betas added LaTeX support with KaTeX, a formula toolbar, dark mode, ES/EN i18n, code highlighting, PWA offline, import/export, folders with colors, linked notes via [[wiki-style]] syntax, and formula OCR via Tesseract.js. Local-first, no account, no server. What was challenging? The markdown parser broke on multi-line constructs. Rewrote it line-by-line. KaTeX loads async so had to chain CSS then JS then auto-render. Formula OCR needed a text-to-LaTeX converter since Tesseract is for text not math. What are you proud of? The parser from scratch, the formula toolbar for non-LaTeX users, and the whole thing working offline as a PWA. What should people know so they can test? Open the demo. Choose language on first launch. Click + for new note. Type markdown, see live preview. Press ? for cheat sheet. Click “formulas” for math buttons. Click camera to scan a formula. Create folders with colors. Link notes with [[Title]]. Gear icon for dark mode and language. Live demo: https://notjuangamer10.github.io/margen/ Source: https://github.com/notjuangamer10/margen...

I also added a navbar item that just is the link to actually open timetable, and when you hover it shows options to either open the app in testflight or open the web version which just redirects to /login. and its background switches to black when you start scrolling, which will make more sense later. i haven’t really planned the rest of the landing page, and i might remove this entire component if i find a good liquid glass implementation i can use, especially with bouncy animations etc. but yeah.

The toolbar is just glass buttons + a black fade effect + progressives blur, also tuned to look like ipados. the icon in the sidebar is pretty ugly honestly so i need to replace that with the non-bordered icon.

I renamed PMS Timetable to Timetable, which took more time than I expected cos it was embedded in like every single file and I even had to go through binary files and just delete all the instances of “pms” . then this managed to corrupt Xcode and make it crash every time I opened it, and i had to delete some stuff to fix that. Now I’m on the OS27 version and I’m going to start fixing some UI.
I’m just refining the software a but before I start adding Siri support and improving Messages import/export flow. I fixed this comparison view, improved the class editor to show the glass nicer, and the settings toolbar has a gradient blur effect instead of hard blur, which was made the new default toolbar background style, which imo is ugly.
I moved the sync button to settings, so that the toolbar in the timetable tab could be removed. this is to make way for this new bottom half of the screen that shows other people’s timetables when you click on the slot in the top half, replacing the previous system of letting you select someone else and see their whole timetable covering your timetable. this system lets you view your own timetable and compare it with everyone else’s at a particular period. It uses a soft scroll edge effect at the bottom, and a hard effect at the top, which i think looks really nice. the second image shows the content scrolling under the timetable, which i really liked.
I fixed the sync button visuals, it now has a blur replace transition effect. the timetable comparison view also blurs in and out when you click around
I added these views to the watch, so you can see how much time is left in a session for yourself, and also for others. i also refined the timetable view to not use so much glass because it was lagging the TabView. The main clock uses a liquid glass background against the background progressview, and what class is next.
I ported the app over to macOS, which was harder than I thought because there was a lot of code throughout every screen that was for connecting iphone to apple watch or some other iOS-only thing, which I had to conditionally compile out for macOS. then I needed to refine the views to work on macOS well, for example the class editor sheet used a sidebar instead of the scrolling tabview on iOS. There’s still more work to do to refine it more and get CloudKit working so that the timetable syncs across devices.
I added support for these widgets from only watch to iphone and ipad and macOS, and currently they are ugly and unrefined, so I’m going to fix them now.
I fixed the widget extension problem by making two widget extensions, one for watch and one for other platforms, and made them use identical code. And then I refined the widget design for macOS and iOS and i think they look really nice now.
I continued to refine the design of the macOS widget, and I really like it now.
I added some buttons and refined the UI of settings view
I made some design adjustments to the macOS app, giving it a blur background. Also, the weekly shedule widget has had its corner radiuses and colours adjusted to be less harsh and look better.
I made some refinements to the watchOS and iOS app, including design and performance.
I updated the background of the window, including in light mode, and I also remade the icon. The settings also looks much better than it was before, and I made a nice window animation for when you click a slot to see what your friends have.
I upgraded the watch views, like making the progress rectangle rounded, and this very colourful background for when its recess and lunch
I added some App Intents, below is my current subject intent, and also a list of received timetables intent. It took a lot longer than expected because the app intents framework was quite confusing to get working, but i got a nice UI in the end.
So added the ability to share timetables using apple wallet, along with sending them using messages, i think that background will need to get fixed for readability, but otherwise, i like it alot.
I added a share button in the bottom left, which allows the user to share their timetable in one press, using the .prominent Tab style so that it looks seperate from the other tabs while still looking consistent.
I added this blur effect behind the share sheet, and I think it looks really nice. I had to import a package to get a blur this clear
I changed the blur effect to this, which i think is much better, because it has less blur, and doesnt add an ugly grey tint, so black background stays black background.
Xcode seems to have become extremely broken or something, i spent the last 4 hours trying to make my widget work but Xcode kept erroring out and eating memory swap, and now i have some trouble with making the imported timetables actually show up in the widgets i already made 😡
I have started building the server, using swift vapor. i chose vapor because it is written with swift, like my project, which made it easier to share code between the two files.
I finally got the server working! took a really long time to get https working though, nginx was impressively difficult
I’ve built a few endpoints and documented them in rapidapi, ready to import into the client app.
It took quite some time, but i got some really nice looking status badges! I’m really proud of how they came out, they look very juicy, and i cant show it here but i promise its very touchable and squishy and animated! 🥰
I did some debugging and made quite a lot more endpoints, I think I’m ready to move on to making the app.
I finished the search view, and i spent a very long time on perfecting some visual animations and stuff. when you click on a search result it separately animates the title in. also, before you search anything, i thought instead of showing most downloaded timetables or something i show this really squishy and fun pokemon-style timetable wallet pass. the settings view has also been improved a bit, to make some settings more clear, but i still need to refine it alot further to get it working really nicely.
The timetable has some shadow behind it. I wanted to make the card HDR, but after a lot of experimenting i found apple doesn’t let you use hdr in your app like this, so i had to instead do this shadow 😐
Much better blur, although the server is taking a full 2.5 seconds to send back the pass, and i need to reduce that as much as possible
I added notifications to the app, so that people can receive information in the form of notifications as well as live activities and app intents and widgets. I also improved the share pass button in the prominent tab bar, so that you see this sheet to select what pass you want to share, not just the user’s own timetable.
I have added an onboarding view that i really like, its very colourful and stuff. i also improved the server to be able to send notifications to users, to tell them when their next class is.
In the onboarding I added pages to teach the user the features of the app, but I havent finished it yet. it needs a few more pages and refinement for smalelr phone screens
I added live activities, although they are currently kinda ugly and need much improvement. I also made the watch app independent, because it doesnt need the iphone much really, it can just contact the server. i still have more work in making the server work better and stop giving me random errors, but yeah.
I refined the live activities (that background is for recess and lunch, even though this preview text says before school)
I think I have built out pretty much all of the projects, but i need to fix the abundance of bugs and problems that i have. the first one was fixing a problem with server syncing, and making watch depend on signing in on the phone, not by itself.
I improved the friends subjects widgets with concentric corners and stuff.
I;m nearly read to release version 2 of the app, so i made a list of final tweaks and little improvements to make it as best I can, i think i can release it in a few days.
I can’t really show you haptics but i added haptics to buttons and the status badges. not much to say honestly. theres a toggle in settings to turn that on and off.
I added some more pages to the onboarding, since that’s the only way I can show users how the app works cos it ngl is kinda obscure. i also added a report feedback or bug button, which needs some ui adjustments bruh
I made some final refinements to make sure account management on macOS works, so that my users can actually use the app, and then some other UI refinements, mainly for settings. there are a bunch of weird things i am yet to fix, but im really tired and just want to get this app out, so ill fix them later.
After releasing v2 testflight, my friends pointed out a very large amounts of bugs in the app 😭 so I am now just trying to fix everything they pointed out. I’m pretty sure the server doesn’t have any issues, so at least that’s good. First bug is this bottom bar looks horrendous, This was fine for me cos I set my dynamic text size to small 😭
I got carried away, since right now I am just going through and fixing the feedback my beta users gave me, starting with these: improving the onboarding flow to decrease the amount of pages, and condense some other pages, since testers said there were too many. Upgrade the server so that it only allows iOS to make changes to anything, since watchos and ipados and macos can only view, not edit. i added some tests, using codex, on the server. I’m getting tired of manually debugging every single problem I find by hand, I just make tests and its a much easier way of guaranteeing your server works perfectly. the client app is going to be much harder to add tests to, though. and more other random stuff I found and UI fixes etc. The screenshots are some broken UI stuff I found, I can’t really show you server bugs other than these error alerts. Going good so far though, can’t wait to release this as a v3!
I have also decided to remove Apple wallet integration, it just kinda got too messy. so im now going to revert (yes, revert 😭) back to an iMessage extension that lets you share timetables with a link. it fixes some annoying things that wallet integration has, like syncing etc. I can even allow custom link urls for a shared timetable!
I needed a new design system for my app, currently it was just a font and thats about it. Below are some experimental app icons I’ve been tweaking in sigma, they are made out of “paper” and represent a new theme I could use, which is literal paper as the design language. I think it could merge with Liquid Glass really nicely if done properly. Otherwise, other improvements: New App Intents for Apple Intelligence Allow users to set a custom share link URL, for example timetable.adonis.pt/sharedtimetable/adon’s_timetable More server tests + server improvements due to finding bugs in tests
More experiments, cos the previous multicolour outline was kinda ugly, now i’m thinking of adding the fake handwriting instead, it might look nice
I think it’s looking preetty good so far
I think they are coming along really nicely!!!! The watchOS version has bigger title text and less handwriting rows cos its a smaller display size, i really like this 😃 the refraction effects 👌
Many many iterations later… I’m leaning towards that paper one, it looks really tasteful i think. im not sure what to put on the paper though
So many variants! and idk which one is best
I think I’ve locked in to this one. Now I need to figure out what to actually put on the papar, im thinking it has to be a kind of simplifed version of the existing main UI of my app. something kinda like a calendar schedule
I think I’m getting there
I think this is pretty much it.
Plus a version for debug builds, I think they came out really nice!!
Fixed some server bugs, a user reported getting “forbidden” status messages, turns out I forgot to migrate the database 😐 And other UI refinements: Tab bar uses monospace font version and build in settings feedback sheet
Updated splash screen Notificaitons now have threads (each school day is a thread) macos window size animation fixed (the macos window resizes depending on the current state of the app, like currently selected tab etc. fixed some bugs in live activities and server authentication
As you saw before the onboarding UI was a bit broken, so I went through and fixed it up and also trimmed down how many pgaes it has. Those bottom buttons aren’t concentric for some reason, even though I am using the built-in toolbar API, so I can’t fix it. Oh well. And it’s done to 8 pages, from 13. I still have som non-UI bugs to fix.
😍
I had a bug where the device could receive 2 notifications and live activities for each device, so I had to remake the APNs (apple push notification service) token management. I also added a highlight around the current day, with the setting to disable it. i thought a stroke was better than a fill because its less overwhelming and doesn’t break the ui style.
I did a bunch of things: current day highlight in ios improve the notification early sending, to allow users to send notifications at multiple offsets remake the ui for share timetable sheet also the ui for the link customisation, tinted mint for whatever reason sharing links is now a URL, which prompts you to open the app but uses decently ugly html, ill fix later. New icon for apple watch that is optimised for the smaller display size (just made the components bigger and removed some duplicate elements added some mroe developer items at the bottom, doesnt serve much purpose just looks cool lol i removed the status badges that show success, cos i thought they would annoy the user with too many success alerts, and success when you are toggling settings doesnt really need alerts, so yeah. i also hit a bug where notifications would send twice, i had to improve the apns token system to not duplicate tokens for a device. on startup the app shows “restoring account…” every time, so i had to cache the profile data to make it stay signed in until explicitly signed out. its kinda hard to see in the screenshot but there is progressivew blur at the bottom and top, looks nice
I made some UI rehauls again lol Current day receives theis blur effect which kinda looks like real light bouncing inside a box under the current day The accent colour of the app is now brown, as I am trying to make the app feel more like paper, which will become more obvious as i later add paper elements and views inside the app. My last update released a new account backend, which meant some users were not able to log in, so i decided to nuke the database and reset everything 💀 but anyway it worked and i upgraded the server to be better at handling this The sheet to add a shared timetable is improved, with blur effects and stuff, and that tiemtable preview has gotten much better it was pretty bad before ngl
So I made a few more adjustments like removing the APNs registration page from onboarding to make onboarding even more seamless Not important though. I discovered a really annoying problem: When I try to add iPad support, build fails because its trying to embed the watch app which obviously doesnt work on ipad. and xcode isnt letting me fix that. 😐
I found an xcode bug, something to do with compilation errors for incorrect architecture, i dont get it but i gave apple feedback.
I improved the UI for this view, to better show classroom and teacher labels. I also renamed “Authored” to “Created”, apparently its better copy, according to my friend. The settings got cleaned up a bit, and importing from calendar again needs confirmation
This is currently the message extension ui. kinda ugly. that needs fixing I also updated the created timetables detail view, and (ignore the screenshot) removes the save button cos no one is going to remember to press save when they change details, so this should save some frustration.
I’m adding countdowns everywhere, even when school is out, so that you can count the hours until your next period
Message extension got improved, it now checks if you have enabled sharing before allowing you to even sahre it, and tells
I have expanded the home tab!! Theres three tabs at the top, today, week, and upcoming. week is what it already was upcoming shows term dates, no school days, school events, and also the users own personal events they make. the today view is a bit ugly but its sort of there! there also an admin page now, so that i dont have to hardcode term dates etc, i can just send them as api requests (for admin accounts only lol)
As usual, I did a very assorted bunch of things: new admin tab so that i can change stuff without having to go onto my mac and hardcode stuff today view looks like paper - reminscient of the app icon! new about view the popover for subject details is smaller, removing bloat and a bunch of server improvements due to all of my users finding bugs and stuff!
Theres now brown and white paper combined. its an interesting ui concept, makes no sense in real life, but i think it looks nonetheless! it definitely creates an app theme, regardless of if this theme looks good or not…
I made some UX adjsutments in the settings app, added some images, reordered haptics, etc the planner sub-tab has been rehauled, and shows items chronologically instead of in sections, which i thought was more intuitive. it still needs much more thought though, im not sure how to space them out since some gaps are months long.
Me and my friend did a bit of brainstorming, to get ideas on how to improve the app UI, UX and future features. cos we are planning a future release hopefully. so we gained a good idea of consolidating friends into a more clear friends tab, combingin the currently spread-around-everywhere friends stuff.
so me and my friend did some more brainstorming focussing on the new friends tab, and how friend accounts work, and profiles and pfps etc. we also aggregated a list of bugs and UI glitches in the app that still need fixing. the current first version is (moderately) broken 😭
i added a section in teh administration to be able to turn off the server for everyone except for me, so that i can maintain the server and test it. and also a section to manage other admins.
I made this widget, which is kinda like a summary widget for the user. it requires this large widget size to fit everything, and its goign to be more dynamic than the other widget which always show the same layout. i haven’t thought exactly how i’m going to do it though, below is a rough first version.
I’ve been busy remaking the profile editor, its coming together really nicely. that profile picture at the top is designed so that lets the other components take up their space, and then the pfp takes up the rest of the space. this allows the same view to not scroll while working on different phones and text sizes etc. and the background is animated!!!
The bottom colour grid is concentric to the device!!! although making the white outlines also behave nicely is proving really really hard, as you can see below
you can add special badges to people now, for like early birds or something idk. the profile picutre bakground has been upgraded a bit, but im going to have to fork the repo and adjust it myself, its currently not looking like a gradient but a single noisy colour, im gonna fix that.
Given the theme of this app, paper, widgets now get paper too! settings for profiles has been updated too you can now select black → white in the colour selector. friend detail view still kinda looks a bit empty and bland, im not quite sure how to make it feel alive
So the header in settings now reflects with your pfp colours for the profile editor, i made it now scrolling so that you could fit in all of the various options, like animation speed and noise and stuff. when you click on a class in today view, it shows some more details about the class like teacher and location. friends view also looks a bit nicer, both the list view and the detail view.
friends detail view shows a bit more content, and is redesigned for more paper you can reorder the badges around now for priority when they show in their overlay event tags editor looks a bit nicer plus, users can edit their year group after signing in.
some people were saying that it was really annoying that you could drag anywhere in a sheet to dismiss the sheet, you would be halfway through something and then you have to restart. so i went through all the sheets in the app and checked if they needed to remove this swiping. luckily it only needed one modifier per sheet. also, more tester feedback was that i shouldnt have sections for tags, so yeah i did that. also, now that there is a concept known as friends, instead of just shared timetables, i removed the option to allow people to have their timetables searched publicly. i havent figured out what i want for specific created timetables, i might lwk have to just remove that also users now have to fill in what year group they are when onboarding. for tags.
i just read an article that said @Environment(\.dismiss) is bad for performance dismiss() is a very simple and fast way to make a sheet or other modal view dismiss , but because its so simple and dynamic, that introduces lots of bugs apparently. so I had to go through all the sheets and this time replace dismiss() with better state management. i hope ill notice the performance improvements!
before and after some small ui improvements!!
I checked the localisation and it went down to 25%, so I went and pushed that back up to 100%. and the friend detail view has been improved a bit more
So so far up to now, I have completely neglected everything other than iPhone. i needed this so that i could focus on making iphone as seamless and intuitive and possible, and to push features faster. so now i have to go and basically remove all of the non-iPhone code and replace it with iphone code, and then try to make that work multiplatform. so i decided iphone is going to remain as a tabview, for now at least, but ipados, macos, and big iphones can use a navigation split view, shown below. so a sidebar and main view and an inspector on the right sometimes.
first version of timetable for macos 😭 its really ugly and lwk broken. so im gonna spend the next few hours fixing this incredibly “interesting” UI.
working with macOS is infuriating me, so i decided im going to make the macos app actually be mac catalyst, so its technically just running an ipad app. which makes sense. still needs alot more work, this refactor is proving very very annoying
its getting there! mac catalyst is definitely better than trying to make native macOS work. swiftui isnt really making it any better, its really really restrictive in terms of how i can structure my app. like for example that right column, has so many glitches that i cant really find solutions to because the bugs aren’t in my code, its infuriating.
Still just refactoring and remaking the app. i decided to remove OS 26 compatibility, because there is just too many APIs and stuff the images below are some stuff I’ve been refining: dragging friends around sideays iphone support (same thing as macOS + iPadOS) but I’ve decided now to not work on macOS (which is just iPadOS) and ipad until i perfect iphone and watch. should be fun!
I finished the refactoring for now, to make the app multi platform. So then i did some more brainstorming and I have consolidated what is the next few features I need to do tips, to tell the user about features the app has they sound easy but each tip needs rules and parameters and all kinds of obscure annoying things, so its going to be harder than it looks my first tip shown below An indicator next to each friend about their status, which is going to take the user’s location, taken in the background, to tell if they are on campus or off campus So from this you can tell when a user arrives at school or if they are sick iOS provides a function that will call my app, from the background, every time the user crosses a specific map polygon (The school). so i dont even need to do any map processing, my app just gets called every time the device goes in or out of school! plus i can add cool related features like the user’s average arrival time to school, which will be pretty cool!
Few things! Adminsitration gets new items for reported users and freinds-since requests sections in adminstration statistics for number of users, etc you can now see your status and other people’s status, like on or off campus new page that asks for location access ofc (ill move it into the onboarding later improved the add a friend sheet admins get emails for reported users, etc
user account data now has highlighted rows for faster navigation user reports look much better, as well as friends-since requests reporting or sending feedback sends notifications instead of emails, now
lots of little things instead of one big feature: i used to send emails, and i reached limits on the email provider so i had to move to only sending notifications, like device notifications. i still need an alternative, im looking through options now there used to be different settings view between iPhone and iPad, so i consolidated them into one view.you can now see your friend’s status as on or off campus. this uses location to check when you reach school or leave. this also allows some cool statistics like average school arrival time!there is better moderation, it shows in the admins view and lets the admin block or do nothing about the account. it will be expanded later to have more features and actions and stuff you can request to change your friends-since tag, also approved by admin.i deleted all (most) references to #if os(macOS) , since there is no more macOS build, its just iPad running on mac. small ui improvements: added search to some more administration views tapping an existing photo pro allows crop the tabview gets tab transitions, like the ones iOS 26 had (that ios27 removed 😡)year-level tags are separated from other tags expanded statistics!added archived events - events in the past - plus an option to automatically delete old events added a button to reset tips, since the app is getting more and more complicated the onboarding is less condensed, when that permission is first needed, its permission sheet request shows.more stuff gets cached in Defaults, making it more offline-safe.and some toolbar and blur and navigation title stuff.
some ui improvements (that weird box in the account view is Metal debug overlay, not my app)
Grade tracker!!! I know this is a very cliche topic but I had to implement this because it integrates so seamlessly with the app for example, it already knows your subjects (duh) and when you input the date of your assessment, it also knows which period of the day that is, because it knows your subjects! (duh) I also added ATAR, sthe user can set goals and stuff for what they want to achieve.
I decided to remove created timetables. they just don’t work anymore with the Friends concept, which makes it really annoying to adjacently share other timetables alongside having friends. its a shame, i wish it could have worked, maybe ill add it again later. oh well. im still just combing through the app and fixing all the little things i see: grade tracker gets a next item in the top for the top 4 subjects, which is important for atar. improved the friend detail view a bit better, because the old one had not enough information and was displaying badly.added more statistics to administration view cos its fun lol the tag selector view was improved, looks nicer and is a tiny bit more legible nowi changed the grade tracker weighting from semester to year. apparently thats the norm more friend detail view improvements
improving the friend detail view the padding is so much nicer, and the detail view also shows more info and in a better way the week subtab shows a similar timetable to the user’s own, and shows more info. and some more statistics lol
You can now change the font! this took more work than you would expect, because i did a find on the project and saw there were like 60 references to .monospaced, and each one had to be manually upgraded to dynamically apply font. i also tried to make the rounded font expanded, but after some inspection i found it doesnt even have a .expanded variant 😐 so the options i ended up with were monospaced, rounded, and expanded. no normal font. it just looks boring at this point. below is the same screen with each option! widgets also get the fonts, and they look actually insane ngl
I started work on rehauling the watchOS app And I really like how it’s coming out The watch is supposed to distill down the information the user needs, so i picked the current and next period, time, and their location. all these elements are glassy and stuff, so they are clickable, and its in a tabview that scrolls between each card. The first tab is the week view for the user. so I spent a good 2 hours trying to make a ScrollView work, but it didnt. sometimes the views teleported, some lagged, some glitched, and it was overall insanely annoying. so I moved to a tabview, which was considerably more stable, but removed the animations I wanted. it had its own animations which were fine, but yeah. Also, fonts also reflect on the watch! the one in the screenshots below is the expanded style, which to be honest isnt that good on watch since the watch is constrained as is, but yeah. The glass timetable actually looks insane I am still thinking of how to include other content, like grades maybe, and other things, but i dont want to make it too dense and slow
there is a new progress background: its not a background! inspired by the app icon / ios app, the progress view is now this marker thingy which fits into the app’s theme much nicer I’ve also been tweaking the font sizing, image sizing, padding, and gaps between the items here to make sure they look good at all possible subejct names etc. i also had to fight a bit with the safe area of the view, you can see in the image below the name “bob” ends slightly above the text, took me a lot longer than expected to fix that
I also made some improvements to the card height for the user’s own item. before, it was just the full width. Halfway while I was working on that, my TabView suddenly froze for a straight 20 seconds every time i changed the tab. this was very weird, and the CPU shows 0% usage, so I was quite surprised. After a large round of commenting things out and seeing what broke, I found it was a single .glassEffect() that I was using for the progress marker. I have no idea how a glass effect can make an entire tabview freeze, but fine. i replaced it with a simple red colour, as shown below, with a stroke and shadow, and i think it looks fine now.
I added a new devices statistics view. or more accurately, i expanded it. before, it just shows device platforms. now, it shows the os version, minor os version, and if it is a beta or not. i also added support for iOS 26 (previous builds only supported OS27 or later). this involved me just making some features not work on os26 😐 and supporting anything before OS26 would probably be legitimately impossible, so yeah not that.
Big update! Light mode! The app used to be dark mode only, it let me make it look much more pixel-perfect and refine colours and stuff, but its kinda obvious you cant keep the app dark mode only, its just not good. so i went through everything, adding light mode versions of paper, text, glass, etc. took me quite a bit of time because i was trying to maintain consistency while doing it, which included alot of redoing things and creating view modifiers and manually applying each one, etc i also added weatherkit, its just a single line in the today tab, but its nice. while adding light mode support, i found a really nice blur view i could add to lists, so now each lists’s background is nothing other than a blur! i also decided to make all backgrounds made out of paper, and i think it looks nice? theres also now a statistics page for deices and os versions and builds and stuff, itll be more useful later. as well as knowing when your friends arrive to school, i added the ability to know when they are within 5 or 10 mins, and to send notifications for that. average arrival also is split by day now, because people arrive to school at different times per day theres a new tab picker, which you can see int eh controls, its much more glassy than the last one, which is really really playful and stuff! i still have more work to do in terms of ui work, excluding light mode refinements, like notifications and widgets, but yeah.
I added accessibility improvements, mainly like labels and tags and stuff, for use with voice over etc. this was triggered by me installing a developer process into my app which allowed me to iterate on design faster, and it depended on accessibility elements to discover each element. (the purple thing lets you tap elements and comment on them) i also tried a new background for the cards, as you can see below, its just glass and i think it looks pretty nice
You can now edit the foreground colours for your profile picture monogram i also completed light mode support for widgets
I added custom backgrounds! Theres the paper backgrounds i added recently, and then the solid colours, and then also some of the really nice apple ones idk what they are called (i hope apple doesnt copyright me 😭) so yeah it applies to all backgrounds in the app i think it merges really nice with the liquid glass and blur backgrounds different views have it also shows on watch i also added an option to choose how far forward you see events. theres also even more statistics for what app version people are using!
So supporting light mode calls for an icon redesign, at least just for light mode, and here they are! Though to be honest, the entire app is gonna need a redesign, because I need to rename it from Timetable, because it has expanded into doing so much more, and timetable is a bit of a boring name. finding names is so insanely annoying though, but oh well.
I spent some time to work on this search button and its animation. idk if the video plays, but it uses apples glass effect transitions! I also made the confirmation dialogs for removing and reporting a friend better, before they just popped up in the middle of the screen, now it comes out of the menu (also found another ios27 beta bug 😐)
A somewhat interesting devlog this time. I spend a good 2 hours just trying to make live activities work. the miserable part is that they were already working before 😭 I dont even know what I did but it broke. And while i was trying to make a debug button to start a live activity, yeah it just wasn’t working. all kinds of problems with not submitting a good APNs token. and i had to like stop activities before starting new ones and stuff it was just in general really annoying. there was even more problems but its too much to say here 😔 anyway, i have started cleaning up the app. no more big features, to be honest, until i add a website for this thing!! should be really easy since the backend is clearly all done lol events can show weather for them, such as the athletics carnival i removed the ridiculous backgrounds i allowed users to choose, theres no only solid black/white and paper. more reasonable, i think. as part of my optimisation, i removed settings i found useless. haptics are now always on, and highlighting the current day is always on. profile pictures can now have their foreground colour set, like the Monogram can have its colour optimised.you can see the average for when your friends arrive to school per day, instead of in total. developer settings also got reorganised, more settings only show to developers. yet again cleaning up the app experience. the location status was a bit unreliable, if users were offline, etc, so i added multiple ways the app pushes updates to the server, and queued statuses when the device was offline. i also refined the actual radius for what counts as within 5 / 10 minutes, should be a bit better. i havent thought about people who live within 10 minutes, thats an interesting case the subject editors grid also looks nicer (still needs more improvement though the tabview now hides while scrolling, like it collapses into the corner, like apple apps! you can manually turn off sharing your status, for privacy reasons. and some more things i forgot 🥹 im so excited for this thing to actually launch!!!!!
new icons. the old one that now supports light mode was kinda ugly.
Ok so after a bunch of wrestling with nginx and bun and next.js, i have added the website! its at https://timetable.adonis.pt/ and the current api has been moved to https://timetable.adonis.pt/api Its the usual next.js thing. and it uses bun. my design idea for this is to look like its an ipad app, essentially, and im going to see exactly how far i can take the mimicking, maybe i can even add liquid glass to the web 💀 So yeah no more app building, now its website! It’s gonna be so much easier as well because I aleady have the backend done and tested, so this should be all design which will be really fun.
The website is alive! I got a screenshot of an iOS26 sidebar, and i am copying it, as you can see. looks nice i think
Hehehehe I’ve got a working version of liquid glass It uses gsap, which is nice the second image is an earlier version 😭
Its nice and squishy now! It uses gsap for this as well gsap is a great framework ngl
And now it scales up and down and stuff!!! I still can’t believe this is just html and css and js 😭 Theres so many parameters to tweak to make it feel right, its so finicky And depending on the size of the glass, you have to change the numbers, its kinda confusing honestly
So I’ve made the first version of the website, it’s really insanely buggy and broken, but the ui is there. so have the html good but no i need to really tweak the css to make it look nice, apple-style. i also need to figure out how to make loading states look nice, since unlike the the swiftui app, i can’t cache anything to not show loading state. in the plus side i dont have to deal with offline state, though. the sidebar and the toolbar are finished, and look really nice. the sidebar has an effect (from ipados) that basically reflects the content in a subtle blurred way, to make it feel like glass while not actually rendering anything expensive. The toolbar is just glass buttons + a black fade effect + progressives blur, also tuned to look like ipados. the icon in the sidebar is pretty ugly honestly so i need to replace that with the non-bordered icon. The other problem i am dealing with is that we are planning a complete redesign of the entire swiftui app, and obviously that has to propagate to the website, so any work i do now is kinda gonna be half wasted, depending on what the redesign actually looks like.
I’m still working on making the UI look much better, and I’m still figuring out some website stuff like how i should wire up the sidebar tabs as well as having like a nice homepage to advertise everything the app does, which will be a really fun sub-project. Turns out making nice looking lists in react is much harder than it looks, as shown below 😭 one problem is that each symbol has a different aspect ratio so i dont even know how to fit them nicely And unlike swiftui, its raelly raelly hard to stay consistent in your css and to keep using the ui tokens instead of making custom css everywhere. it looks like the website is gonna be harder than the app to make after all 😔 this classes card though, for example, i think its pretty much almost done. i might need a few more borders to make it look glassy and stuff but it looks exactly like the ios version, which is the end goal! And I added the animations to the classes card, again exactly like the iphone app. i also got a vscode extension that shows you all of your unused css classes, i highly recommend getting one and purging your codebase!
So the previous UI was really ugly, to be honest, so i decided I am oing to scrap half of the design and completely unstyle the entire app while making everything as standardised as possible, by trying to only use reused components as much as possible. So I spent all today stripping out components I didn’t need, then take the surviving components and adjusting them to my use case and making then look as nice as I can. alert dialogs drawers buttons lists section cards switches I have also decided to stop using tailwind because its quite simply messy and much more confusing than just moduled css, so ye
I have pretty much finished the components, I’m going to now go and add the other shared components and improve them too. then im gonna go through the css files and clear anything that is unused or overcomplicated, and then i can start remaking the website!
I think I have finished making all of the shared components I put everything inside accordions to organise the test components Overlays get the same translucency and outline every other component gets I think im happy with how the lists look, finally the option selectors are really really hot!!! The first page I have remade is the About view, which shows this badge if you are on localhost lol i also had to move the contributors up to the server instead of hardcoding them so that both website and app can see it And a really nice little animated gradient thingy for the about view!!
I have started using the shared components around the website, and its actually looking pretty nice! most importantly, these components can be changed once and work everywhere and i removed the drawers i was using everywhere, and i also made said drawers wider while i was rehauling the drawers i also kinda broke their animations and i don’t know how to fix it 😭 the whole website looks really basic now, since its obviously using now the shard unstyled components, and i was thinking about the theme and decided maybe it should be unstyled, and only the user’s own events and content etc can have colours.
I started to make the landing page, and i decided, after very much research from other landing sites I’ve seen, that the main item should be an interactive timetable, a version of the app icon. but interactive and glassy. im trying to recreate everything in css but its not looking as smooth and polished as real liquid glass does so ye. im kinda getting close though! I also added a navbar item that just is the link to actually open timetable, and when you hover it shows options to either open the app in testflight or open the web version which just redirects to /login. and its background switches to black when you start scrolling, which will make more sense later. i haven’t really planned the rest of the landing page, and i might remove this entire component if i find a good liquid glass implementation i can use, especially with bouncy animations etc. but yeah. (worst part is i might even just go change the entire app icon in a week so that kinda wastes all this time 😭😭😭)
After much trying to make glass, yet again, i failed. So now im just using blur and these edge effects, and i think it looks nice! theres even a hover eect, as shown in the second screenshot (class details show and the rectangle rotates a bit randomly)
I added a title to the lading site, but as you can see its not just any title. it uses this package called fitty to make the text size up to the full width of the page, and it does indeed look massive. and it also goes under the rectangles of the logo, so its like an apple depth effect you get on iphone lockscreens i found the website really laggy while scrolling somewhere while finishing of the main interactive icon, and i couldnt figure out why after removing everything that could have been gpu intensive (my gpu was spiking to 80% while just scrolling) so after all that my most likely theory is that the lag is just my computer and not the website (or both 😭😭) also when i made that main art, i made the border radii use px units, which made it look quite deformed on smaller screens, since the rectangle’s size is relative to screen width, whereas border radius is constant… so i went and fixed that too
I really wanted the first screen for timetable to look really really interesting and unique and instantly recognisable as Timetable, so i made the text instead of a boring white, it now has 3 really nice effects applied: A grain overlay, or noise, which in this case doesn’t make it look paper but looks nice nonetheless Its not flat white, its white at the top and goes to brown at the bottom, more noticeable when you close up. subtle but also nice The “white” isn’t even white. Its a particular white image i had a lot of difficulty in obtaining. it is the third screenshot, the “white” png. Its an .avif , and it uses some HDR-capable color space format something, which on compatible browsers make the timetable text show considerably brighter than everywhere else on your screen, which makes it really pop! i plan on using this effect in other places as well across the landing page to make it just pop a bit more. (the 4th image shows the white pixel showing as 1.25. anything above 1 is hdr.)
I did a few things in this devlog, got quite carried away frankly. So I migrated the codebase from Next.js to Tanstack. The reason was that i was seeing a lot of speed concerns, especially on the landing page. it was just lagging so much. i tried it on all my devices on all the browsers and it was there half the time. after a lot of commenting things out i just couldnt find a bug, so now i moved to tanstack. hopefully taht will remove at least some problems. in any case, i got bored of next.js and tanstack is a different framework to play with and make use of!! also, i continued the landing page by adding cards for each item. i don’t really like it right now, but i have established that i need to add these cards, if not in a different UI. The titles of each card are just image-masks, of Apple wallpapers! i went through some archive and picked out the ones i like, and applied a brightness 200% filter, and they look really nice now. after i finish the landing page im gonna work on rehauling the rest of the ui to be more intuitive and actually usable
ok so i think i have optimised it as much as i can lol tanstack clearly was a good idea, it just needed some optimisations!
Im making a 3d model of the school. this is so that i can show a whole literal map of the campus in the app, and then you can see where each user is, in 3d! i could even reexport it for the website, potentially its going to be interactive and everything
As well as migrating to Tanstack, I wanted even more speed, just for fun at this point honestly, so I decided to move to SolidJS from React. Its decently faster while looking similar to react, and it has some syntax stuff that i much prefer over react. this is basically just adding some margin for me to make bad code The end product looks identical so theres not much to show.. apart from the migration, I’ve also been designing the new landing page, which will also use the 3d model thing. the big question is figuring out how to make the 3d markers for each classroom register correctly, because i need to show a pin for each user at the right place, from swiftui, and somehow embed it into a realitykit 3d model. but im sure this use case has been done many times before so i can find something online!
Continuing the assorted improvements to the app: Fixed stacked drawers so nested drawer state updates reactively. Reworked the Friends page into shared List, ListSection, ListRow, and Card components. Preserved friend drag-and-drop ordering within the new layout. Improved timetable UX: i fixed the lesson selection in week view correctly aligned the “now” indicator in today view restricted timetable mode navigation to mobile through CSS, cos desktop already has the sidebar improved planner event styling. made the drawer compenent animate in and out, something i lost from the react -> solid migration I also added a reusable event-tag selection row with symbols and selected-state feedback.
Ships:
So I made a timetable app for my school, super-specialised and for ios, watchos, and macos. its got live activities and notifications to show you current and next subjects throughout the school day, widgets for your weekly schedule, ability to see your friends’ timetables, and server sync. and apple intelligence support!
This ship, I completely remade the app to work around accounts, and all the features that come with that I added a server, because it used to just store your timetable in your local storage and that was quite boring honestly creating a server for this has allowed me to add accounts, notifications, live activities, friends, shared events, multiple devices in the same account, and has made the website much easier to make (still in development, thats why the top devlogs are talking about the website not the app) The app now has all of this: Grades, track the score of all of your subjects notifications for each subject you have and your events etc live activity throughout each school day telling you your subjects etc sharing your location, subjects, and more with friends widgets that show your your subjects, upcoming events, and your friends’ schedules lots of administration options to manage pretty much everything, including who else is admin lol full support for siri, shortcuts, spotlight, and apple intelligence a full apple watch app btw i know 350 hours on a timetable app sounds insane (😭) but its because this project has 4 different aspects: swiftui client for iPhone, iPad, and mac swiftui client for apple watch a website client (still in development) the server that handles everything, and the database i promise it does more than just tell you your subjects 🙏...

Added a context summarisation flag! You can now pass in –summarise-context for it to query free llms and summarise large repositories (any text-based files), saving tokens before the panel starts its work. Hopefully helpful for larger, unfeasibly large codebases, though rather dependent on the context-summarisation model (currently big-pickle, seemingly the most reliably-always-free model with respectable and reliable performance, with little errors or json issues).

Feature #2: Trial Song For this feature I basically created a box above the piano with the notes for the song: Mary had a little lamb. Instead of using musical notes I used the letters on the piano keys so everyone can easily play it.
Ships:
Virtual Piano: This is a digital piano that you can play on your browser. You can play it using your mouse, touchscreen, or your keyboard. Some Features: Adjustable Volume Bar: You can adjust the volume of the piano using the slider. Orange Keys: Checking this box off makes your white keys orange. Try playing: Mary had a little lamb: This given used the notes shown on the piano’s keys which are needed to play the famous song: Mary Had a Little Lamb....

Devlog 1: Building blocks I’ve been focusing on the scripting language, Ile, because to be honest the editor is the boring part.

For those who don’t know, the tokenizer is responsible for taking a blob of (hopefully) human-readable source code and converting it into tokens , which are used later on to build an abstract syntax tree. For now, all I’m concerned about is that cargo test passes!

I decided that the algorithm will use delimiters to decide which tokens correspond to which AST node and I’m working on a method for Node that determines how to add a child based on the Node ‘s type and the child’s type. The screenshot is some of the code for Node .

Mostly done with the fin can. I am facing a problem with fillets, as they will not apply for some reason. I will be troubleshooting the problem for a while.
Sooo I simulated the fin shape, and tried to fix the fin can. Regrettably, was not able to fix the fin can yet, but the fin shape seemed perfectly fine in simulation
I finished 3d printing the fin can, and am finally done, getting ready to ship. probably my last entry.

added the html and assets today . pretty easy peazy tbh . just made the basic html and added all the images into the images folder . also got the git repo connected and pushed the first commit . nothing too crazy yet , just getting the base ready for the rest of the website .
edited the html today and added another section to the website . now it has 3 proper sections and it looks way better than before . also fixed some of the layout stuff while i was at it . pretty simple changes but its starting to actually look like a proper website now .

i made kiberovcats , its just a simple website about big cats like lions , tigers , leopards and jaguars . i wanted to make something simple for this mission so i didnt add a bunch of extra stuff . i mostly focused on making it look nice with the images and css and gave it a jungle kinda theme . the kinda challenging part was getting the layout right . like making the images and text look good together and also making it work on smaller screens . some of the css took a bit of messing around with until it looked how i wanted lol . other than that it was pretty simple . also did the github stuff , readme and deployed the website in the end ....
