I want to make this into some sort of like gamefied website, but so far I just put a 15-minute timer. im planning on adding features like: Shop for customization Booklist Streaks i hope this will turn out well, since thatd be pretty cool! it was a bit difficult knowing how i wanted the website to look like, but for now i made it a simple blue scheme. might make it a pixelated sort of style? dunno yet!
Book Helper DEVLOG: #2 more apps! coolio, i have added TWO!! window thingies stats ambient noises i had a REALLY long rain file… like . . . 120 mb. not good. i am currently trimming it down cause it was an hour long and it’ll be compressed too. i tried doing some javascript for the stats, with some help of ai, but i havent gotten to testing it yet. hopefully it works ! it was a struggle formatting it, and also programming the buttons so that theyd play the right audio and would change text and all that fun stuff. regardless of all that, i think its coming along nicely :)
Book Helper DEVLOG: #3 new tabs + stylization alrighty, i have made the site a bit more colorful and changed the formatting so that its more centered on the page. i have added features like: Trophies Customization Settings i asked ai to help me connect the buttons to actually opening up a window thingy, since i was struggling with it for a long time. the javascript was also a bit hard with all of the localstorage and badge system, but with searching and debugging i think it works?? i haven’t tested it yet so who knows… i do know that streaks work though! at least some what
Book Helper DEVLOG: #4 tested site, pixelated it! i have tested the website, and it WORKS?! i had to tweak some things like making each theme look a bit nicer and configure colors, but it works! Levels actually unlock new themes Trophies are awarded when the right requirements are met In settings, you can properly change the timer time im pretty happy with how this is turning out, but now im not sure what to do. i had mentioned of adding some sort of shop and book list, but i dont plan on implementing them right now. i think i will make my own assets for the trophies instead of just using emojis, either that or find a free use image online. maybe ill even add a lil mascot guy to this???
Book Helper DEVLOG: #5 worm mascot… ship?! i have added a little worm mascot guy! with some research and ai debugging, i managed to create a mascot that changes colors based off the theme. it was a bit weird learning it, but i understood it eventually, since it basically only puts an overlay on the image. i think it adds a nice little touch! i have also made my readme, talking about all the features such as the timer, stats, and why the site was made. im ready to ship!
Book Helper DEVLOG: #6 rewriting code! alrighty, i have rewritten parts of my code since i got feedback of it being over the 30% ai threshold. one of the things i rewrote was the white noise generator, since that used web api and i didn’t really understand it. i decided to just add a mp3 of white noise and use the same function for the rain noise that also used mp3. i also took away some fallback stuff and extreme security stuff since a simple book project like this does NOT need stuff like that, but it was nice to learn ways of fallback if i ever needed it! i have also changed the badge icons with… very rough drawings of mine, but atleast it aint emojis!
Book Helper DEVLOG: #7 change up ui + booklist?! alright! so, i have changed up the ui to make it less ai looking? reverted to original font borders now round at 20px i have also added a new modal / window, a booklist! Booklist the booklist is a simple notepad where the user can write down anything, but the intention is to write down book titles or information about the books theyve read! i used my old maryOS code that had a notepad to help me figure out how to make it so that the text saves. it was a bit funky implementing that code into this new project due to having to rename ids and variables having to match, but i managed to figure it out! i also removed unnecessary code that ai gave me such as escape key to leave the modal, since theres already a close button on it.
Book Helper DEVLOG: #7 spotify + quotes! i have added TWO! features: Spotify: a reading playlist for more variety in sound so that its not just white noise and rain Quotes: a little tab to give a random motivational quote(BY ME!) when you log in. tuff right? then i changed a feature: Timer Change: some people didnt know that settings would allow you to change the timer time, so i have placed the input into the timer box itself and put a button next to it saying “Change Time” so that its more obvious and less tedious to open up settings for it. and since i made that change, i also REMOVED! one feature… Settings button: i DELETED it since the only thing in settings was the timer changer, which was relocated as stated earlier. i was struggling to figure out what i should add to improve this site, but looking back on feedback, people talked about added more ambience noises, so why not a full playlist? i also added quotes because i had learned how to do randomized quotes from the snowglobe program with the little motivational snowglove site, so i reused my code! i also added back the pixelated font, cause i think it makes more sense. i want to change the corners to look more pixelated too, but i want to do it in an unique way and not in a boring, “ai looking” way.
Book Helper DEVLOG: #8 booklist update . . ship?! alright, this was a quick devlog! i have made my book list better, rather than just being a text book. update includes: Checklist system, add book titles of your own Notes for personal use Counter of how many books are listed and how many are read i wanted to do some sort of like search for a book thing like an api? but that seemed too complicated for me so i just opted for a simple checklist system.

No copy pasting into a browser tab, no breaking your flow. This is the first real release. You can download it, run it, and it just works. What it does Summarize — highlight a wall of text, press F9, get back a few skimmable bullet points instead of the whole thing. Enhance — highlight a rough draft, press F10, and it cleans up the tone and grammar while keeping your meaning. Great for firing off an email you didnt want to overthink. Ask anything — dont want a preset? Select text, open the popup and just type your own instruction at it. Translate this, explain this, make it shorter, whatever you want. The two hotkeys are the fast path, this is the everything else. The nice touches Real glass popup — it appears right at your cursor with proper native acrylic blur, not a fake CSS imitation. It animates as the response streams in. Lives in the tray — close the window and it just keeps running in the background listening for your hotkeys. Launches on startup so its always there. Esc to dismiss, one click to copy — get the result back to your clipboard instantly, or hit esc and its gone. Auto updates — it pulls new versions itself so you never have to come back and re download anything. Under the hood Your Groq API key lives entirely on the Rust side so it never touches the frontend bundle. The whole thing is a native desktop app, not a browser extension, so theres no chromium bloat and it works system wide across every app. The honest part This was my first time ever writing Rust. Most of this build was me learning Tauri and Rust from absolute zero, which the devlogs cover in detail. The day I lost to an invisible black box rendering over my entire window is a personal favorite. Worth a read if you like watching someone figure things out the hard way. Get it Download the installer from the releases page, run it, done. It bundles the WebView2 check so it works even on a fresh machine. Feedback very welcome, especially on how the popup feels to actually use.", "repo": "https://github.com/firancly/tldr-app", "demo": "https://github.com/firancly/tldr-app/releases/latest"}]...

Heres everything that landed. Custom hotkeys — you can now reassign the shortcuts to whatever keys you want instead of being stuck with F9/F10/F11.The tricky part wasnt setting them, it was getting them to stay after closing the app. They kept resetting every restart. Found tauri plugin store which turned out to be exactly what I needed now the hotkeys save properly between sessions. Custom API key field — drop in your own Groq key right in the settings instead of it living in a file, so you’re not tied to the shared tester key. Customizable summary length — pick how short or detailed you want your summaries to be. Window controls — added proper minimize, expand and close buttons to the window and got them all wired up. Also added drag to settings window. Auto start on launch — Snap now starts itself when you boot up so its just always ready in the background. Scroll fixes — sorted out the scrolling on the settings page. This one annoyed me, I was trying to style the webkit scrollbar to match the rest of the UI and it just would not budge no matter what I threw at it. Eventually I gave up fighting it and settled for the default scrollbar, sometimes its not worth burning more time on something that small. That was the session, about 4.5 hours all up. Snap went from set in stone shortcuts to something you can actually configure and make your own, which makes it a real step toward it being a finished product. Next up : make auto updates seamless so you never re download.

A bunch of stuff landed that took this from “cool demo” to “actually a product.” Heres what will ship. The headline: ask anything Until now Snap had two fixed actions, summarize and enhance. Now you can select text, open the popup and just type your own instruction at it. Translate this, explain this, make it shorter, rewrite it angrier, whatever. The two hotkeys stay as the fast path, this is for everything else. This was the idea I was most hyped about and its finally real. It updates itself now Before this, a new version meant everyone had to go re download the installer, which means nobody would. Now the app checks for updates and pulls them in on its own. Getting this working felt like the moment it stopped being a hobby project. Quality of life Launch on startup so its just always there listening, no opening it every morning. Esc to close the popup instead of clicking away. Custom icons finally rendering properly everywhere after fighting them for a bit. Seamless popup cleanup so it actually feels polished now. Tester API key baked in so people can try it without making a Groq account first. Improved the prompts so it doesn’t sound ai generated and can pass as human text Still cooking Custom hotkeys and screen edge aware positioning so the popup never opens half off your monitor.

Dev log #1 What I’m building: Snap - a desktop tool that lets you run AI actions on selected text anywhere on your system. Highlight text in any app, press a shortcut, and get an instant result in a floating window. No copy and paste, no switching to a browser tab. The idea came from the tldr repo on GitHub. I wanted to generalize that concept system-wide into two workflows: Summarize ( Alt + S ) — highlight a dense article or long thread, and a floating window appears with a summary. Rewrite ( Alt + E ) — highlight a prompt like “write an email to my boss” , and the AI returns finished email ready to send. Framework choice: I looked at Electron and Tauri.

The upside is the frontend is TypeScript + React, which I’m already strong in, so the learning curve is contained to the system level layer. Today’s goal: setup the Tauri app, register the Alt + S / Alt + E global shortcuts, and get the silent copy -> clipboard read working so a selection in any app lands in the Rust backend. If that’s solid, wire one shortcut end-to-end to an LLM call and render the result in the floating window.
Dev log #2 Getting the hotkeys to actually work The shortcuts finally fire and copy text. Getting there took most of the session though. I first set up the Alt+S and Alt+E shortcuts in TypeScript since that’s the language I’m comfortable in. Bad idea. They broke every time I reloaded the page, threw errors I didn’t understand, and sometimes fired twice. After a lot of digging I figured out the problem.

I also added a little system tray icon, with menus, so it runs in the background. Next up : make the floating window pop up near my cursor and show the result. Wire a shortcut to an LLM call.
Devlog 3 — The floating glass popup and a full day chasing a black box The popup window itself was the easy part. It spawns at my cursor, reuses itself on repeat triggers instead of opening a new one every time, and the captured text streams into it with a little typewriter effect. That whole thing took maybe 20 minutes. Then I tried to make it look like frosted glass and that ate the entire rest of the day. Every time I turned on Tauri’s built in blur effect the window just rendered as a solid black box instead. I went around in circles on this for hours. I killed the native window shadow which fixed one version of the black box but it came right back the moment I re added the blur.

Even after fixing that Tauri’s built in blur still refused to work so I stopped using its wrapper entirely and called the underlying Windows blur library directly from a small Rust command. It worked immediately. Real native glass, no black box, first try. After a whole day of that seeing it finally render was such a relief. One more dumb one ill note so I dont forget it. My rounded corners werent showing up and it turned out the browser paints the page background across the whole window and ignores the corner radius if you put it on the root element. Moved it onto a normal div and it was fine. Next up is hooking the actual Groq API call in so the popup shows a real summary instead of just the copied text.
Devlog #4 Groq is wired in and the popup actually feels like a product now Groq is hooked up and the app does its actual job now The summarize and enhance shortcuts now actually call Groq and return real text instead of just echoing back what I copied. The API call lives on the Rust side so the key never touches the frontend, and the popup shows a little loading state while it thinks. Seeing it summarize an actual paragraph for the first time was a moment this is finally the thing I set out to build. The invisible icon bug Then I hit a quick bug that made no sense at first. I added a copy button to the popup with a little icon and the icon just refused to show up. Blank space where it should be. The element was there right size, right color the DOM looked totally fine it just wasnt painting. Turns out its a WebView2 thing where svg icons go invisible specifically on a transparent acrylic window. Took me a minute to even believe that was the actual cause. For the fix I settled on emojis for now. A decent workaround but it works, and theres a little checkmark when you click now so you know the copy landed. Polish pass The rest was polish and it went fast. The window resize is animated now instead of snapping to size which makes it feel a lot smoother, I hid the scrollbars everywhere, and I fixed a button that kept coming out rectangular instead of square because of some default browser padding I didnt know about. Also settled on the proper acrylic glass blur after the mess from last session and gave it a tint. Next up is making the popup smart about screen edges so it cant open half off screen, esc to close it, and a little settings screen so I can change the hotkeys without editing code.
Devlog 5 — Polish, prompts, and the first real release Bit of a cleanup session before shipping. First thing, I reworked the summarize prompt. It used to spit out a 1-3 sentence paragraph and I found myself still having to read the whole thing to find what mattered, so now it breaks the text into a few short skimmable bullet points instead. Way nicer to actually use. Then I wrote up a proper README. Demo GIFs, feature list, setup steps, the whole thing, so anyone landing on the repo gets what Snap is and how to run it. And the big one, I built the first actual release. Set up the icon, ran the Tauri build, and it spat out a real installer that bundles the WebView2 check so it works on a fresh machine. So Snap is now something you can just download and run, not just clone and build yourself. Linked it at the top of the README. About an hour all up. Next up is probably finishing translate so theres a proper third action.
Devlog #6 Snap grew up this session Big one. A bunch of stuff landed that took this from “cool demo” to “actually a product.” Heres what will ship. The headline: ask anything Until now Snap had two fixed actions, summarize and enhance. Now you can select text, open the popup and just type your own instruction at it. Translate this, explain this, make it shorter, rewrite it angrier, whatever. The two hotkeys stay as the fast path, this is for everything else. This was the idea I was most hyped about and its finally real. It updates itself now Before this, a new version meant everyone had to go re download the installer, which means nobody would. Now the app checks for updates and pulls them in on its own. Getting this working felt like the moment it stopped being a hobby project. Quality of life Launch on startup so its just always there listening, no opening it every morning. Esc to close the popup instead of clicking away. Custom icons finally rendering properly everywhere after fighting them for a bit. Seamless popup cleanup so it actually feels polished now. Tester API key baked in so people can try it without making a Groq account first. Improved the prompts so it doesn’t sound ai generated and can pass as human text Still cooking Custom hotkeys and screen edge aware positioning so the popup never opens half off your monitor. Potential language spin off to aid language learners (custom in app language, ai response langauge). Those are next, then this thing is ready to really show off. Honestly this was the most satisfying session so far. Not because anything was hard, but because every single thing I added made it feel more like a real app and less like something held together with tape.
Snap is live, and the first batch of testers gets in free ⚡ Select any text on your screen, hit a hotkey, and AI handles it — summarize, rewrite, or ask anything — in a popup right at your cursor. No browser tab, no copy-paste, no setup. I’m opening a limited number of free tester spots : download it, no API key needed, just run it and go. First come first served while the spots last. Built solo in a weekend. First time ever writing Rust — the devlogs cover the whole messy journey, including the day I lost to an invisible black box rendering over my entire window. 👀👀Watch the demo down below 👉 Grab it: [download link]
Wednesday? Added draggable windows Improve ai prompts More to come. Currently busy with life. Touching graass 🌳🌳🌳
Spent about 4.5 hours this session building out the main window into a proper settings page so you can set Snap up however you want without ever touching the code. Heres everything that landed. Custom hotkeys — you can now reassign the shortcuts to whatever keys you want instead of being stuck with F9/F10/F11.The tricky part wasnt setting them, it was getting them to stay after closing the app. They kept resetting every restart. Found tauri plugin store which turned out to be exactly what I needed now the hotkeys save properly between sessions. Custom API key field — drop in your own Groq key right in the settings instead of it living in a file, so you’re not tied to the shared tester key. Customizable summary length — pick how short or detailed you want your summaries to be. Window controls — added proper minimize, expand and close buttons to the window and got them all wired up. Also added drag to settings window. Auto start on launch — Snap now starts itself when you boot up so its just always ready in the background. Scroll fixes — sorted out the scrolling on the settings page. This one annoyed me, I was trying to style the webkit scrollbar to match the rest of the UI and it just would not budge no matter what I threw at it. Eventually I gave up fighting it and settled for the default scrollbar, sometimes its not worth burning more time on something that small. That was the session, about 4.5 hours all up. Snap went from set in stone shortcuts to something you can actually configure and make your own, which makes it a real step toward it being a finished product. Next up : make auto updates seamless so you never re download. Discrepancy in the hours because Wakatime wasn’t connected (offline)
Ships:
Snap is live Select text anywhere on Windows, hit a hotkey, and get an AI result in a glass popup right next to your cursor. No copy pasting into a browser tab, no breaking your flow. This is the first real release. You can download it, run it, and it just works. What it does Summarize — highlight a wall of text, press F9, get back a few skimmable bullet points instead of the whole thing. Enhance — highlight a rough draft, press F10, and it cleans up the tone and grammar while keeping your meaning. Great for firing off an email you didnt want to overthink. Ask anything — dont want a preset? Select text, open the popup and just type your own instruction at it. Translate this, explain this, make it shorter, whatever you want. The two hotkeys are the fast path, this is the everything else. The nice touches Real glass popup — it appears right at your cursor with proper native acrylic blur, not a fake CSS imitation. It animates as the response streams in. Lives in the tray — close the window and it just keeps running in the background listening for your hotkeys. Launches on startup so its always there. Esc to dismiss, one click to copy — get the result back to your clipboard instantly, or hit esc and its gone. Auto updates — it pulls new versions itself so you never have to come back and re download anything. Under the hood Your Groq API key lives entirely on the Rust side so it never touches the frontend bundle. The whole thing is a native desktop app, not a browser extension, so theres no chromium bloat and it works system wide across every app. The honest part This was my first time ever writing Rust. Most of this build was me learning Tauri and Rust from absolute zero, which the devlogs cover in detail. The day I lost to an invisible black box rendering over my entire window is a personal favorite. Worth a read if you like watching someone figure things out the hard way. Get it Download the installer from the releases page, run it, done. It bundles the WebView2 check so it works even on a fresh machine. Feedback very welcome, especially on how the popup feels to actually use....

The whole idea of the project lies in making an entertaining game, where all the elements are responsive to user actions, game rules, score, etc. And everything works directly inside the browser, no installations required. The hardest task for me was to make sure that the game mechanics work correctly and the application remains responsive. I have worked on fixing bugs and optimizing performance as well.

It checks important Windows security settings and gives your system a security score, making it easier to understand how well your PC is protected and what could be improved. One of the hardest parts of building TungstenScore was working with the Windows APIs and reading security-related information from the Windows Registry. Different security features expose their state in different ways, so figuring out how to reliably retrieve and interpret that information was one of the biggest challenges during development. What I’m most proud of, though, is the structure of the project. TungstenScore still has a relatively small set of features, but I focused on making its foundation small, solid, and extensible. New security checks and other features can be added without having to redesign the entire application. Building that solid foundation is probably the part of this project I’m most proud of. TungstenScore is still under development, and I plan to add more security checks and improve the scoring system over time. You can now try TungstenScore yourself! You can download a pre-built version from my website, or download the source code and build it yourself using Cargo.

devlog #7 (v0.5.1) I fixed some bugs for my first release!
Ships:
TungstenScore (v0.5.1) TungstenScore is a lightweight, open-source security assessment tool for Windows. It checks important Windows security settings and gives your system a security score, making it easier to understand how well your PC is protected and what could be improved. One of the hardest parts of building TungstenScore was working with the Windows APIs and reading security-related information from the Windows Registry. Different security features expose their state in different ways, so figuring out how to reliably retrieve and interpret that information was one of the biggest challenges during development. What I’m most proud of, though, is the structure of the project. TungstenScore still has a relatively small set of features, but I focused on making its foundation small, solid, and extensible. New security checks and other features can be added without having to redesign the entire application. Building that solid foundation is probably the part of this project I’m most proud of. TungstenScore is still under development, and I plan to add more security checks and improve the scoring system over time. You can now try TungstenScore yourself! You can download a pre-built version from my website, or download the source code and build it yourself using Cargo. Language note: English is not my native language, and I’m not very confident writing in English yet. I originally wrote this devlog in Korean and used an AI tool to help translate it into English....

Just a little development update on KeyGlow. Over the past few days I’ve been working on polishing the project instead of constantly adding new features.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it before, KeyGlow is a privacy-first keyboard usage analyzer. It generates keyboard usage statistics and a simple heatmap while never storing what you type. No typed text, no passwords, no key sequences - only anonymous key frequency counters stored locally on your own machine. Since the last update, quite a lot has changed: • I added real-time keyboard monitoring. • I implemented automatic saving while monitoring. • Added keyboard and mouse inactivity detection with configurable timeout. • Added the ability to disable automatic shutdown when desired. • Improved local storage by moving everything into a dedicated ~/KeyGlow/ directory. • Added JSON, CSV and TXT export support. • Added an information command displaying database size, stored keys, total presses and other useful details. • Added confirmation before deleting collected data, along with a –force / -f option for power users. • Improved error handling for corrupted databases and invalid data. • Added automatic creation of missing storage/export directories. • Cleaned up dozens of small edge cases and improved the overall stability of the application. • Wrote a complete README and documentation. • Added a completely unnecessary but absolutely essential keyglow joke command because every CLI deserves at least a little personality. At this point, most of my work isn’t about adding new features anymore (though it is tempting not gonna lie)-it’s about making sure the tool behaves correctly in every situation. That means testing fresh installations, handling invalid input gracefully, making the CLI feel polished, and improving the overall user experience. The project is now very close to its first public release. Before I publish it, there are only a few things left to finish: Debug a few remaining pieces of code. Update the KeyGlow ASCII logo.

After coding, testing and debugging for a while, I got online multiplayer to work on LAN. But it is still pretty buggy.

So, i’ll have to work with some debugging now.
I have fixed movement and interaction in online, but now there is something wrong with the camera system. It seems like they aren’t synced which changes the game mode for one of the players.

The Void is an anonymous thought delivery system for Stardancers. You write something, once a day, and it gets delivered to a random Stardancer somewhere. They can dissolve it forever or release it back into the void for someone else to find. No names, no likes, no algorithm. Just thoughts drifting between strangers. It has a WebGL vortex shader background, HCA login so only real Stardancers can enter, AI content moderation through Groq, and a full delivery system backed by Supabase. What was challenging? Honestly, almost everything on the backend. OAuth flows are really painful, specially when there’s like 0 documentation for how to actually use them, or atleast on my. case. Getting HCA login to work across three different URLs (the main site, the callback page, and a Vercel serverless function) took longer than building the entire frontend. CORS errors, mismatched redirect URIs, req.body being undefined for no obvious reason, a Groq model getting decommissioned mid-development. Honestly, The hardest parts where the ones where I eventually gave up and recurred to the usage of AI. It’s not really a bad thing in my opinion. People think it’s wrong to use it, but how I see it is, if you can understand your code, but you need help fix it, but there is no one available to help you with it, just use AI to understand and fix it. It is a tool for your mind, not a replacement. What am I proud of? The moment it actually worked end to end for the first time. I sent a thought from one account, opened another window as a second account, clicked “[ void speaks ]”, and saw my own words appear on screen in the color I had chosen. That moment felt like something. The vortex shader is also something I’m genuinely proud of. I had never touched WebGL or GLSL before this project and learned it from scratch specifically for this, so I feel like it’s really neat how after all this time, it has been put together in a rough beta really nice. What should people know to test it? Go to https://the-void-dusky.vercel.app and log in with your Hack Club account. Give yourself a name and pick a color. Write something true and hit release. Then come back tomorrow. If other Stardancers are using it, something will drift your way eventually. The void speaks button appears in the bottom right corner when you have a pending thought. Check back. It might take a little while for the void to find you. Honestly, I just can’t believe how this project turned out. Well, the beta at least. There is still tons of work to do. Polishing is now the only thing between the beta, and the good first public release. I plan to run the project up until the end of the event, and then in the Slack maybe even make a post with the top leaderboard of the thoughts with the highest released count, who knows!", "repo": "https://github.com/Just-Alan/The-Void", "demo": "https://the-void-dusky.vercel.app"}]...

I’m sure the three or four people following this project will be very glad to know that, as of today July 23rd, The Void is officially open to beta!!!!!!! It’s a rough draft of the eventual thing. Missing art, sound, music, and basically everything that would make it feel polished. But right now, with this build, it is everything I could have asked for and more. So now, what was so revolucionary that it finally is on a beta status? On a very short tl;dr, the thought and delivery system finally came to life. The gist of it is as follows. You open The Void. You type something, anything, what’s weighing on you, what you can’t say out loud, whatever. You hit release. It drifts into the database, tagged with the color you chose when you first arrived. Somewhere, another Stardancer opens The Void. A small button appears in the corner of their screen. “[ void speaks ]”. They click it. Your words materialize on their screen, glowing in your color. They have two choices: dissolve it forever, or release it back into the void for someone else to find. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. And it’s so awesomesauce omg. what is happening behind the scenes: The moderation system runs every thought through Groq’s AI before it reaches anyone. If it contains hate speech or harmful content, the void rejects it. It took an embarrassingly long time to get working, mostly because the model I was using got decommissioned mid-development and nobody told me. The delivery system picks a random Stardancer from the database every time a thought is released. If they release it again, it goes to someone new. A thought that keeps getting released glows a little brighter every time, though most people won’t notice that yet. So… what’s next? Well, really glad you asked random person idk anything about! What I’m planning for the roadwork ahead is to add sound design, some visual polish, and Supabase Realtime so you actually get notified when a thought arrives without having to refresh. I just can’t believe that this idea is finally coming to life. I’ve been wanting to make it for a while, but between some complications and going to places with no way of working in, I took a long 21 day break. But now, finally, I’m ready to make my actual first project and ship it!"}, {"post_id": 20082, "ts": "2026-07-01T16:30:57Z", "hours": 2.4047, "text": "devlog #5 of The Void She star on my dance till I say hello everyone new devlog woo. Ok, so the flow of how the void works has now been updated! To keep things short, I will assume that the other devlog has already been read, and I will just add on on the new stuff. But, for a really basic tl;dr: When you press enter, the void opens the HCA login website, where you… well login. This is to both keep track of the users in the users table of data, and to know if you are a certified Stardancer™ or not. Then, it’ll promptly take you to the callback site, where it uses a code that the HCA gives in order to identify you. If succesful, the page will say “the void recognizes you” as per the video, and you will log into the void. If not, it will say “something went wrong. the void rejects you.” Simple enough. Now onto the new stuff that was added: When the callback website successfully registers your HCA code, it will take you back to The Void, now new stuff appears. You are able to choose your name, 6 characters only, and your thought color, which will be the color that your… well thoughts are in. Really self explanatory. All that info is saved in the Supabase table of users, just for a more simpler way of being able to save all the data. Now, whenever you enter the main site, it’ll check if you are already logged in. If you are, you will automatically be thrown into the main page of the void (which is the one that just says phase 5 coming soon for now). So, to summarize the technical side of stuff about what everything is doing so far: The Void itself runs on HTML, CSS and JS. Supabase is used for the database. Vercel is used for its serverless functions for the auth backend. And finally, HCA (Hack Club Auth) api is used for the login. And that’s all folks. Honestly, all of this was more easily said than done. I spent like at least 40 minutes trying to fix the connection issues between the sites. But, in the end, it worked as intended, and that’s the best I can hope for. As of moving forward, the next phase will definitely be the hardest one, which is to make the entire thought and delivery system as well as finding a way of testing it with another person. So, yeah thats cool. If anyone is reading to the bottom of this, and is cool with testing, stay updated for the next devlog where I think I will finally be able to post and ship the beta of The Void! Sleep tight everyone, don’t let the bed bugs bite."}, {"post_id": 15969, "ts": "2026-06-25T22:43:30Z", "hours": 2.1331, "text": "The voices in my head say hi stardancers. So, this is kind of a big one. Basically, the hardest problem right now was understanding how to use the HCA (Hack Club Auth) to make it so that the website recognizes that you are indeed a Stardance member. To basically skip all the hassle, it works like this: The moment you press enter, the button opens the HCA website. In my case, I was already logged in, but in browsers without a yet known Hack Club acc it will prompt to log in and use the verification code and what not. Then, when you do all that, it goes to the window in the video, where it tells you if you are sure to give that info to the website.

So, I had a thought. Started really simple with a small idea of making a way for people to talk with each other, but as it has developed, it has become more and more interesting and intricate. There isn’t much yet, just wanted to get an early devlog, so enjoy this simple particle code as the project goes on.
Hi hello hi stardancers. Just made a very simple text sequence in a div with a button that does nothing at the bottom, nothing too fancy really. I’m just trying to get ideas captured instead of writing since I don’t really remember most of the time I write stuff? This is theorically just the intro the user would see only the first time they enter The Void. And, it’s still missing the sort of space vortex shader on the background, which I am learning to make as we speak.
What’s cooking my stardancers. I was able to put the vortex shader on the main file, so now the background for The Void is basically complete! Pure frontend as of now, so now I think it’s time to finally start working on the actual website instead of js vibes.
The voices in my head say hi stardancers. So, this is kind of a big one. Basically, the hardest problem right now was understanding how to use the HCA (Hack Club Auth) to make it so that the website recognizes that you are indeed a Stardance member. To basically skip all the hassle, it works like this: The moment you press enter, the button opens the HCA website. In my case, I was already logged in, but in browsers without a yet known Hack Club acc it will prompt to log in and use the verification code and what not. Then, when you do all that, it goes to the window in the video, where it tells you if you are sure to give that info to the website. What the website does with said info is it sends you to a callback website with a temporary code in the URL. Then, it sends said code to HCA, where it gives back a verification code that this user is indeed a hackclub certified member, more specifically, a Stardance member. After that, it uses that token to ask who is said user, where HCA responds with their ID and verif. status. If the account exist, and it’s a Stardance member, they will be let in. Otherwise, the page says “the void doesn’t recognize you” (I don’t really have a “way” of testing this, so just trust me on this one that it exists). Finally, the website saves said info, and lets you in The Void. That was more easy said than done, but with good work and like 3-4 hours later, it got done. But, on a really bad turn of events, the stardance timer didn’t get all that time, and instead logged in 2 hours only. But, it ain’t about the time spent (It actually is but what can i do honestly), but about it working, and if it works, then that’s a job well done (I guess). Oh yeah I forgot but I switched from github Pages to Vercel in order to hide my Client Secret from being pushed into the repo, which I… almost did. Like 3 times. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for future devlongs.
devlog #5 of The Void She star on my dance till I say hello everyone new devlog woo. Ok, so the flow of how the void works has now been updated! To keep things short, I will assume that the other devlog has already been read, and I will just add on on the new stuff. But, for a really basic tl;dr: When you press enter, the void opens the HCA login website, where you… well login. This is to both keep track of the users in the users table of data, and to know if you are a certified Stardancer™ or not. Then, it’ll promptly take you to the callback site, where it uses a code that the HCA gives in order to identify you. If succesful, the page will say “the void recognizes you” as per the video, and you will log into the void. If not, it will say “something went wrong. the void rejects you.” Simple enough. Now onto the new stuff that was added: When the callback website successfully registers your HCA code, it will take you back to The Void, now new stuff appears. You are able to choose your name, 6 characters only, and your thought color, which will be the color that your… well thoughts are in. Really self explanatory. All that info is saved in the Supabase table of users, just for a more simpler way of being able to save all the data. Now, whenever you enter the main site, it’ll check if you are already logged in. If you are, you will automatically be thrown into the main page of the void (which is the one that just says phase 5 coming soon for now). So, to summarize the technical side of stuff about what everything is doing so far: The Void itself runs on HTML, CSS and JS. Supabase is used for the database. Vercel is used for its serverless functions for the auth backend. And finally, HCA (Hack Club Auth) api is used for the login. And that’s all folks. Honestly, all of this was more easily said than done. I spent like at least 40 minutes trying to fix the connection issues between the sites. But, in the end, it worked as intended, and that’s the best I can hope for. As of moving forward, the next phase will definitely be the hardest one, which is to make the entire thought and delivery system as well as finding a way of testing it with another person. So, yeah thats cool. If anyone is reading to the bottom of this, and is cool with testing, stay updated for the next devlog where I think I will finally be able to post and ship the beta of The Void! Sleep tight everyone, don’t let the bed bugs bite.
devlog #6 of The Void: NO WAY IT WORKS Hello, Stardancers. I’m sure the three or four people following this project will be very glad to know that, as of today July 23rd, The Void is officially open to beta!!!!!!! It’s a rough draft of the eventual thing. Missing art, sound, music, and basically everything that would make it feel polished. But right now, with this build, it is everything I could have asked for and more. So now, what was so revolucionary that it finally is on a beta status? On a very short tl;dr, the thought and delivery system finally came to life. The gist of it is as follows. You open The Void. You type something, anything, what’s weighing on you, what you can’t say out loud, whatever. You hit release. It drifts into the database, tagged with the color you chose when you first arrived. Somewhere, another Stardancer opens The Void. A small button appears in the corner of their screen. “[ void speaks ]”. They click it. Your words materialize on their screen, glowing in your color. They have two choices: dissolve it forever, or release it back into the void for someone else to find. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. And it’s so awesomesauce omg. what is happening behind the scenes: The moderation system runs every thought through Groq’s AI before it reaches anyone. If it contains hate speech or harmful content, the void rejects it. It took an embarrassingly long time to get working, mostly because the model I was using got decommissioned mid-development and nobody told me. The delivery system picks a random Stardancer from the database every time a thought is released. If they release it again, it goes to someone new. A thought that keeps getting released glows a little brighter every time, though most people won’t notice that yet. So… what’s next? Well, really glad you asked random person idk anything about! What I’m planning for the roadwork ahead is to add sound design, some visual polish, and Supabase Realtime so you actually get notified when a thought arrives without having to refresh. I just can’t believe that this idea is finally coming to life. I’ve been wanting to make it for a while, but between some complications and going to places with no way of working in, I took a long 21 day break. But now, finally, I’m ready to make my actual first project and ship it!
Ships:
What did I make? The Void is an anonymous thought delivery system for Stardancers. You write something, once a day, and it gets delivered to a random Stardancer somewhere. They can dissolve it forever or release it back into the void for someone else to find. No names, no likes, no algorithm. Just thoughts drifting between strangers. It has a WebGL vortex shader background, HCA login so only real Stardancers can enter, AI content moderation through Groq, and a full delivery system backed by Supabase. What was challenging? Honestly, almost everything on the backend. OAuth flows are really painful, specially when there’s like 0 documentation for how to actually use them, or atleast on my. case. Getting HCA login to work across three different URLs (the main site, the callback page, and a Vercel serverless function) took longer than building the entire frontend. CORS errors, mismatched redirect URIs, req.body being undefined for no obvious reason, a Groq model getting decommissioned mid-development. Honestly, The hardest parts where the ones where I eventually gave up and recurred to the usage of AI. It’s not really a bad thing in my opinion. People think it’s wrong to use it, but how I see it is, if you can understand your code, but you need help fix it, but there is no one available to help you with it, just use AI to understand and fix it. It is a tool for your mind, not a replacement. What am I proud of? The moment it actually worked end to end for the first time. I sent a thought from one account, opened another window as a second account, clicked “[ void speaks ]”, and saw my own words appear on screen in the color I had chosen. That moment felt like something. The vortex shader is also something I’m genuinely proud of. I had never touched WebGL or GLSL before this project and learned it from scratch specifically for this, so I feel like it’s really neat how after all this time, it has been put together in a rough beta really nice. What should people know to test it? Go to https://the-void-dusky.vercel.app and log in with your Hack Club account. Give yourself a name and pick a color. Write something true and hit release. Then come back tomorrow. If other Stardancers are using it, something will drift your way eventually. The void speaks button appears in the bottom right corner when you have a pending thought. Check back. It might take a little while for the void to find you. Honestly, I just can’t believe how this project turned out. Well, the beta at least. There is still tons of work to do. Polishing is now the only thing between the beta, and the good first public release. I plan to run the project up until the end of the event, and then in the Slack maybe even make a post with the top leaderboard of the thoughts with the highest released count, who knows!...

Pause Button : If you want to see the time in a specific metric, you no longer have ot wait for the animation to cycle back. You can just hit the pause button to freeze what metric it shows (like seconds, minutes, years, etc). And considering my 1 month gap in web dev, I’m incredibly surprised that I managed to get this done in under 2 hours. I guess it was mainly the simplicity of the pause button. And the whole thing went pretty smoothly but I guess that’s just luck. Message The whole point of this update, is to prove that I value your reviews.

Half the time was layout debugging and responsiveness It is fully functional with no known bugs, successfully updating the date with the JS code and displaying the time since that date at 12am.

(planned for tomorrow) Hour, minute, and second configuration for the time Manual control over the unit of time A nice showcase video A ship! BUG FIXES This also took up a huge chunk of time I fixed a property in css that was causing the transitions to not work correctly Fixed a big that causes the page to break when reloaded Even without the features, v2 is already turning out to be smoother, cleaner, more functional, and more responsive. I thank you reviewers for the nice detailed reviews you have given, it really helps me see my project from a different perspective. And I really do value it, which is why I am fulfilling every single suggestion. Stay tuned for the final result tomorrow. Imma go enjoy a nice (sarcasm) 7 hours of sleep now (ugh gotta get up for practice tomorrow).

COMPLETE FOR REAL And just letting you all know, the one I showed my parents is unblurred and uses the real unix time they were married.

BRINGING IT BACK– and improving! Hey yall, So after my first ship, a lot of people didn’t see much usability in it other than it being a gift for my parents. So… I couldn’t resist taking like an hour or so to create a v2 for this. So here’s the plan: Feature #1: Usability The background will be a more generic one, and you will be able to input your own parents’ marriage date and time to see how long they’ve been married. Feature #2: Control You will be able to swipe through the minutes, hours, seconds, etc. Instead of an animation playing. Excited to bring these suggestions to life! So stay up to date!

THE CHANGES ARE ROLLING To be honest I did not expect it to take this long to add a little bar that can take an input. But I guess it is how it is. Feature #1: Date Configuration Bar! I spent the longest on this, and this is what most of the reviews I got wanted. Half the time was layout debugging and responsiveness It is fully functional with no known bugs, successfully updating the date with the JS code and displaying the time since that date at 12am. Feature #2: Readability Someone in my reviews requested to make the note in the second page to be more readable… Well AS YOU WISH! There is now a clean, blurred, dark background around it. Feature #- Oh wait… that was it… But wait–theres more coming! (planned for tomorrow) Hour, minute, and second configuration for the time Manual control over the unit of time A nice showcase video A ship! BUG FIXES This also took up a huge chunk of time I fixed a property in css that was causing the transitions to not work correctly Fixed a big that causes the page to break when reloaded Even without the features, v2 is already turning out to be smoother, cleaner, more functional, and more responsive.

Completed! Wow… I got carried away. I know in my previous devlog I said I would finish this project the day after it, but as you can see its been like over a month now. But I guess things just got in the way like robotics, summer classes, and can’t forget about watching tv. Anyways… lets start the devlog. Features added: Time Selection Option : So now instead of just picking the date which you want the time from, you can be extra precise and pick to the last minute. Pause Button : If you want to see the time in a specific metric, you no longer have ot wait for the animation to cycle back. You can just hit the pause button to freeze what metric it shows (like seconds, minutes, years, etc). And considering my 1 month gap in web dev, I’m incredibly surprised that I managed to get this done in under 2 hours. I guess it was mainly the simplicity of the pause button. And the whole thing went pretty smoothly but I guess that’s just luck. Message The whole point of this update, is to prove that I value your reviews. I thank you Stardance shipwrights for the nice detailed reviews which helped elevate my project to whole ’nother level. Signing off, Ash-ioL
Ships:
Showcase video: https://youtu.be/SUqgM_ie4QI?si=yR0SwjIOD9eaOhl2 I created a marriage clock tracking the exact time my parents have been married to each other. The public version uses a random fixed time rather than the actual time for privacy reasons. The most challenging part was wrestling with CSS layout systems like CSS grid and CSS flexbox since it’s been months since I last worked with them and they just have tricky behaviors. The second challenging part was working on this while avoiding my parents to keep it as a surprise. My first drafts of anything In this project looked absolutely hideous (as expected), so I had to make a lot of minor tweaks and adjustments to get it as responsive and aesthetic as I can. But after all that, the end result was 200% worth it. I showed it to my parents and they were happy and it was a pretty nice moment. How to test my project: click the link, mess around with the arrows, and observe the magic!
This update focuses on the critiques and recommendations I got from my previous ship’s reviews. It completes every request and makes the project USABLE, and more readable. The biggest challenge was deciding how to prevent the time form swiping too quickly, in the end I was able to figure out that a pause button was the best solution. At first, I was able to use this to show my parents how long they’ve been married. Now YOU also have that opportunity. Feel free to also use this as a stopwatch, or just a general time tracker since any event in history. Please see the demo video here: https://youtu.be/d_lGbp6TXaE...

Devlogs:
devlog -1 complete some part of my pizza ordering web . I gave the name as Pixel Pizza. I am using : html ,css , js , vite and will use firebase for backend
devlog-2 created marquee of some items and add section on how to order with that done with the main index page . next will move to create the menu page . thats all for today thanks :D
DEVLOP-3 currently working on menu items . please suggest something that i can add in it .
Devlog-4 completing the menu section , will try to improve more and will add more features , in side total price display and also the cart in side bar . Any suggestion , comment down it will really help me thats all for today thanks
devlog-5 added the side bar cart and updated the menu section . Any suggestion drop in the comment will sure add your idea. thats all for today ,thanks.
devlog-6 now you can add item to cart , increase/decrease quantity , remove the item , and grand total ,bill is their . completed the cart part of the pixel pizza , it was really challenging , it took a lot of time to debug the code , but finally did it. thats all for today , thanks : D
devlog-7 added firebase in menu to store the orders in the database , really working with database is fun , actually i got stuck but chatgpt helped me to beat the bug and error . more updates coming soon
devlog-8 done with the backend part and added sweet alert . It was really fun to do backend T_T . some time i got stuck in sweet alert but chat gpt help me to find out the problem . it was really fun thats all for now . next move , will create a admin dashboard to manage all orders .
devlog-9 getting started with admin dashboard . It will have all the features that a good dashboard must have .
#devlog - 9 working on dasboard , to make it more comfortable for user to use (best ux of all time)
devlog 11 gyus actully i meshed up my mistakely but any how i done every thing in organised manner . I was about to lose all my changes but i saved it this all happend because i want make some changes in ui , after clearing all thing it took me about 1.5 hours but anyway did it guys
devlog -12 ** guys very funny thing happened while i am retrieve todays data in mu admin dashboard , i was coding from 11 pm something and my code started working when its about to change the date ( 5 min before 00:00 ) and i completed all the work and then run the code and check the and its not working it started showing 0 , 0 , 0 in every field , because of 00:01 am , I was about what the hell going on , then suddenly i realised that and seen the time that time i was laughing for a while and put some more data for today then the it start working again lmao ** thats all thanks
devlog - 13 completed the admin dashboard with all the features . now you can do this all see all order check a specific order details mark order for out of deliver cancel any order suggest more features in the comment .
devlog-14 now , added admin login in the admin dashboard to secure the data , it was simple using firebase https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/password-auth every thing is almost ready i am very happy will ship it soon
devlog-15 added admin login box link in the index page and also add a big button for make a order , and finally the pixel pizza is ready to ship .
Ships:
I have created a pizza ordering web using html , css , js , vite and firebase for backend .

Backpropagation It’s learning! I tried the network with a small synthetic dataset and it learned the pattern flawlessly, at least when you don’t let it run for too long: Below you can see the network’s performance (cost) at each epoch, it starts out strong - reducing the cost and getting better and better - until all of a sudden there is a massive spike and the cost goes way up again.

Softmax Activation and Digits I modified the API so that cost and activation functions can easily be changed. After opting for softmax activation at the output layer and changing the cost function to categorical cross-entropy, the model classified the numbers with 85.59% accuracy after 10.000 epochs. I’m surprised it works this well despite the small network and no regularization or tuning at all.

I wrapped all of this in an easy to use API: network = Network ( [ Layer ( 64 , activation = " input " ), Layer ( 50 ), Layer ( 30 ), Layer ( 10 , activation = " softmax " ), ], loss = " categorical_crossentropy " , ) network . fit ( X_train , y_train , epochs = 8000 , learning_rate = 1 , batch_size = 0.1 ) The math and backpropagation were the hardest parts, I derived the gradients of the cost function by hand and backpropagation didn’t really make sense to me at first. I started with mean squared error, and the gradients exploded quickly. Switching to cross-entropy fixed it. I’m really proud that I now understand why these networks are able to learn, seeing your own network learn feels amazing.

Not a diagram of one, not a gif: the real cipher engine, wired to a 3D model you can rotate, peel open, and rewire with your hands. What it is The brain is a historically correct Enigma engine written once in C++ and shared two ways — a CLI binary and a WASM module compiled with Emscripten — so the thing in your browser ciphers letter-for-letter the same as the command line. Double-stepping, ring settings, reflector, plugboard, all of it. It passes the standard test vector (rotors I·II·III / reflector B / rings TOU / start HOU / plugs ABCDXZ → TOUHOU encrypts to MQGGFI ). On top of that engine sits a Three.js machine you can actually operate: type on the keyboard, the rotors turn to their real angles and the matching lamp lights up. Flip on X-ray and the wooden case goes translucent, revealing all 26 wires inside — and the exact current path of the key you just pressed lights up and sparks along the wire, traced straight from the engine’s own answer. What was hard The engine was the easy part. Making it look like the real thing is what fought back. The case isn’t one lid — a real Enigma comes apart in three: the main hinged lid, a fold-down flap over the plugboard, and a separate rotor cover with little letter windows. Each one had to hinge and occlude correctly without clipping through the others. The plugboard cables kept poking through the closed front cover. I spent two rounds shrinking how far they sagged before realizing the problem was never depth — the cables sat in front of the closed cover on the z-axis, so they’d punch through the wood no matter how short I made them. Pull them back behind the cover face and it finally read right. Reflector and entry wheel looked like “a rotor with the letters erased.” Turns out on the real machine they’re fixed inside the housing and never visible from outside — so I hid them in normal view and only expose the contacts under X-ray. What I’m proud of The plugboard you wire with your hands. Grab a socket, drag to another, and a cable snaps in; the wire stretches under your cursor while you drag, the target socket highlights blue, and the patch feeds straight back into the engine so the encryption and the X-ray wiring update live. Pulling a cable out works the same way. It feels like handling the real hardware, not clicking a form. And the honesty of it: one engine, verified against a known test vector, with nothing faked between what you see and what actually ciphers. How to test it Type something. Watch the rotors step and the lamps light. Long messages show the rotors carrying over, double-step and all. Hit X-ray. The case turns to glass; press a key and follow the lit current path through plugboard → rotors → reflector → back out to the lamp. Wire the plugboard. Drag between two sockets to pair them, drag a cable out to remove it — the cipher changes immediately. Open it up. Toggle the lid, the rotor cover, and the front flap to see how the real case comes apart. Trust but verify. Set rotors I·II·III, reflector B, rings TOU, start HOU, plugs ABCDXZ, and type TOUHOU — you should get MQGGFI , the canonical Enigma test vector.

This is that The actual attack A crib is a guessed fragment of plaintext — operators were creatures of habit, and words like “Meldung” (report) show up in everything. With a crib, the cracker stops scoring vibes entirely: every candidate setting decrypts the text, and the crib either appears in it letter-for-letter or it doesn’t. Six exact letters out of 17,576 start positions leaves one setting standing. The five short intercepts that statistics couldn’t touch now each carry a crib — FUNKEN, MORGEN, STEINECKE (the Germans really did sign Steinecke twice) — and all of them break in under a second. One historical filter made it in: a letter never encrypts to itself, so a crib can only sit where no letter collides with the ciphertext. Fixed-offset guesses get rejected on that rule before the search even runs. The answer that was wrong and right The fun started in testing. One intercept’s documented start position is SWV, but my cracker’s top hit came back RVV — and RVV decrypts the message perfectly. Letter for letter, not just the crib window. I was convinced my engine was broken, so I compiled the reference C++ natively and compared: identical output on both. It’s not a bug. This key’s middle rotor sits exactly on its notch, so the famous double-step kicks the left rotor forward on the very first keypress — (R,V,V) and (S,W,V) converge to the same machine state before a single letter is encrypted. Two daily keys, one message. The codebreakers knew this class of equivalent settings; I rediscovered it by being confused for an hour.

Most of it still isn’t properly wired in, but the hours happened, so here’s the honest checkpoint. Share links The whole machine state — rotors, reflector, rings, start position, plugboard — plus a message now fits in the URL hash, like #I.II.III.B:TOU:HOU:ABCDXZ:HELLOWORLD . Opening the link configures the machine and runs the message through it, so the person on the other end watches their lampboard spell out the plaintext. “I encrypted this, try reading it” finally works as a link. My first version of the format forgot the reflector. Anyone opening those links would have gotten confident garbage, and I only noticed while writing the parser. It costs four characters in the URL. Real intercepts, verified I didn’t want to invent fake historical messages, so I went looking for real ones — and that hunt ate the first chunk of the day. Ended up at Ostwald and Weierud’s Cryptologia paper (2017)( https://cryptocellar.org ), which lists 13 authentic Wehrmacht messages from 1941, transcribed from the actual message forms, with keys recovered by modern cryptanalysis. I picked six — from a three-word “morning report canceled” up to an SS tank division complaining that two other divisions are blocking its road. Each form starts with a 5-letter group that looks like ciphertext but isn’t — it’s the Kenngruppe, a network discriminant. The paper warns you to skip it before decrypting, and for once I read the instructions first. All six decrypt on the site’s engine to exactly the plaintext on the forms. The cracker only spoke English The crack mode scored decryptions by English letter frequencies. These messages are German. Added a German frequency table and scored by whichever language fits better. Still not enough for the short ones. I ran a parameter sweep over the scoring weights and the 18-to-76-letter intercepts never rank first under any combination. That’s not a bug, it’s information theory — and it’s exactly why Bletchley Park needed cribs instead of brute force. So the panel is honest about it: only the 214-letter intercept gets a “Crack positions” button (it recovers the real start position, SDV, in about half a second), and the short ones say why they’re decrypt-only. Where the hours actually went Reading a cryptology paper instead of writing components. Rewriting the challenge card layout more than once. Re-running the sweep every time I changed my mind about the scoring. The code diff is small; the day was not. The remaining wiring is still in progress. Next up Crib-based cracking, the known-plaintext attack.

English is the default. There was a point raised in the feedback that the translator did not work properly, making it difficult to read. I apologize for not being considerate of you all. A guide panel has been added. It was added because feedback suggested that it would be helpful to have text explanations of how it works. A brief explanation of the Enigma and its principles has been added using a translator. A performance mode has been added. I received feedback that the browser was lagging, so I was struggling to figure out how to handle it. Depending on the mode, I lowered the pixel ratio or optimized the wiring calculations. The logo engraving has been changed. The black background plate has been removed, and a transparent texture with a dark groove and a bright rim has been created using a dual pass to make it look like it was carved into wood. To be honest, it still hasn’t reached the level I wanted, but I have wasted so much time here that I am honestly exhausted and plan to postpone it until next time. Rotation lock and camera presets have been added. I simply did exactly what was requested in the feedback, so there isn’t much to say about it. The crack mode was created simply because I was caught up in the strange idea that if there is an original cipher, there should also be a decryption function. It was the absolute hell; I will never do it again. Web workers use the same WASM engine as the simulator to [set] initial positions Scoring through brute force is difficult, involving the Interval of Concordance (IoC) as the primary axis plus the chi-square auxiliary for character frequency, plaintext previews for the top 5, and a button to apply directly to the machine… Trial and error: When I scored only the first 48 characters of each candidate in the full scope, a completely wrong rotor order happened to get a higher IoC and beat the correct answer (0.0677 vs 0.0651). However, when I selected the top 8 from a 64-character sample and re-scored and reordered the entire sentence, the correct answer won by a landslide (0.058 vs 0.012). Complete reconstruction of X-ray wiring. Honestly, I left the existing wiring as it was because it was a hassle, but it was tough working on it this time. I roughly standardized the thickness and connected the wires properly. Honestly, I still need to tidy it up a bit more, but I’m exhausted.

A real Enigma’s case isn’t one big lid you flip up. It splits into three: the main hinged lid, a fold-down flap in front of the plugboard, and a separate cover over the rotors with little letter windows. So I rebuilt all three. What actually works now Plugboard front flap. On the real machine the plugboard sat behind a panel that folds down from a hinge at the bottom. I added that front panel and tied it to the lid state, so closing the lid folds the flap up over the front too — the way it would look packed away for transport. Rotor cover (Walzenabdeckung). Instead of leaving the rotors fully exposed, there’s now a cover that hides everything except three letter windows and the finger-wheel slits, with brass bezels around each window. It rides its own ▢ 로터 toggle — closed gives the authentic operating look, open shows the rotors. Lid interior. The inside of the lid used to be empty; the real one carried spare bulbs, red/green filters, and a metal plate. Added a bulb-holder strip, the two filters, and a nameplate — and kept them on independent materials so they stay solid in X-ray instead of going transparent along with the case. Stuff that tripped me up Fully sinking the rotors into a well — so only the finger wheel and a single letter peek out, like the real machine — tangles with the X-ray wiring coordinates I’d already placed. Rather than move all the internal geometry, I got the same read from the cover: close it and you only ever see the letter windows. Same look, none of the rework."}, {"post_id": 14017, "ts": "2026-06-23T00:16:51Z", "hours": 1.0214, "text": "Devlog #5 The engine has been correct for a while now — rotor stepping, ring settings, reflector, all of it. This session wasn’t about correctness, it was about feel : making the wooden lid open and shut for real, and making a keypress light up an actual path of current through the machine instead of just blinking a lamp at the end. Then I committed all three changes in one go and the build blew up in my face. Worth it. What actually works now The lid hinges open and closed. A ▣ 뚜껑 toggle drives a hinge pivot, and the render loop lerps it toward the target angle so it swings instead of snapping shut. Rebuilt the lid as a real box. My first lid was a single flat plank — it clipped straight through the rotors and only covered half the keyboard. Now it’s a hollow box (top + front + two side walls) with the hinge raised above the rotor tops, so it clears everything when it closes. Live current path. Until now, pressing a key did nothing to the cabling — the keyboard-to-plugboard route was never visualized at all. Now I take the trace the engine hands back and draw the whole route — keycap → plugboard → rotor contacts → lamp — as one glowing tube, with a spark running along it. Heavier materials pass. Nudged the wood/brass/steel roughness, metalness, and env-map strength a notch heavier to kill the last of the plastic look. Stuff that tripped me up I committed all three changes at once and the build died on boot — three TypeScript errors, all from one mistake. My new lid store collided with an existing lid mesh variable, so the compiler threw Property 'subscribe' does not exist... , an implicit- any fell out of that, and on top of it I’d pasted over and deleted a partnerOf helper. Aliasing the import to lidStore and restoring the helper cleared all three at once. Lesson, paid the usual way: when you add a store with the same name as an existing mesh variable, alias it at the import line first — before TypeScript makes you. Next up The case opens and the wiring lights up, but it isn’t historically right yet. The real Enigma’s case came apart in three pieces — the main lid, a fold-down flap in front of the plugboard, and a separate cover over the rotors — and mine is still one lid sitting over fully exposed rotors. Next session: make it match the real thing."}, {"post_id": 12366, "ts": "2026-06-20T05:50:39Z", "hours": 2.8122, "text": "X-ray mode This is the part I said I was actually here for. Flip a switch and the wooden case turns to glass so you can see what’s been sealed inside the whole time. Getting it to look right was the fun part. Getting it to stay working cost me the better part of an afternoon. What I built Case → glass. The casing shells (body, rotor housing, plugboard panel) drop to ~28% opacity with depth-writing turned off, so you can see straight through the wood. A lit interior. A warm point light kicks on inside the case the moment X-ray turns on — otherwise the guts just read as a dark smudge instead of actual hardware. The hidden hardware. Built everything that’s normally sealed away: a battery block with brass terminals, and thick orange cable looms routing down beneath the rotors. The wiring map. A 26-strand bundle draws the actual internal permutation for the current rotor / ring / position setup, so what you see under the glass matches what the engine is really doing. Then it went dark — on a fresh load only Everything looked perfect while I was building it. Then I cleared the cache, cold-booted the dev server to check it clean… and X-ray did nothing . Solid wood. The button highlighted, the wiring was clearly toggling on, the opacity was being set — and the case flat-out refused to turn transparent.

I created an initial version to beautifully implement the existing CLI Enigma on the web.
Electrical signal implementation
Hardware fidelity pass — “wait, is this actually what the real Enigma looks like?” After the electrical signal path was rendering, I pulled up real Kriegsmarine M4 photos to compare — and the 3D model didn’t hold up. So before adding anything new, this one is a “make it historically accurate first” pass. What was wrong Floating letters. The rotor alphabet was hovering in mid-air beside each wheel instead of being on it. On the real machine the letters are engraved around the rotor’s circumference and you read one through a small window. The reflector and entry wheel looked fake. They were basically copy-pasted rotors with the letters wiped off.

Genuinely uncomfortable to type on.

Re-did it in two minutes, but the takeaway stands: run git status before --hard . Always. Next up: the X-ray translucent mode that exposes the internal wiring and lights up the live signal path through the rotors. That’s the part I actually started this whole thing for.
X-ray mode This is the part I said I was actually here for. Flip a switch and the wooden case turns to glass so you can see what’s been sealed inside the whole time. Getting it to look right was the fun part. Getting it to stay working cost me the better part of an afternoon. What I built Case → glass. The casing shells (body, rotor housing, plugboard panel) drop to ~28% opacity with depth-writing turned off, so you can see straight through the wood. A lit interior. A warm point light kicks on inside the case the moment X-ray turns on — otherwise the guts just read as a dark smudge instead of actual hardware. The hidden hardware. Built everything that’s normally sealed away: a battery block with brass terminals, and thick orange cable looms routing down beneath the rotors. The wiring map. A 26-strand bundle draws the actual internal permutation for the current rotor / ring / position setup, so what you see under the glass matches what the engine is really doing. Then it went dark — on a fresh load only Everything looked perfect while I was building it. Then I cleared the cache, cold-booted the dev server to check it clean… and X-ray did nothing . Solid wood. The button highlighted, the wiring was clearly toggling on, the opacity was being set — and the case flat-out refused to turn transparent. I burned a good while convinced a git reset had eaten the fix. The one-line culprit It wasn’t git — the code was byte-for-byte the version I’d already signed off on. The real reason: in three.js (r137+), if you flip a material’s transparent flag at runtime, the change won’t take effect unless you also set material.needsUpdate = true . My toggle was setting transparent and opacity but never needsUpdate , so blending never actually switched on and opacity = 0.28 was silently ignored. It “worked” during development purely because hot-reload kept rebuilding the materials from scratch — a real cold load exposed it instantly. One line in the toggle loop and the glass came back. Next up: make the current actually flow — each keypress lighting up the live signal path through the rotors and off the reflector, with a real cable running from the key you pressed into the loom, so the glow starts where your finger does.
Devlog #5 The engine has been correct for a while now — rotor stepping, ring settings, reflector, all of it. This session wasn’t about correctness, it was about feel : making the wooden lid open and shut for real, and making a keypress light up an actual path of current through the machine instead of just blinking a lamp at the end. Then I committed all three changes in one go and the build blew up in my face. Worth it. What actually works now The lid hinges open and closed. A ▣ 뚜껑 toggle drives a hinge pivot, and the render loop lerps it toward the target angle so it swings instead of snapping shut. Rebuilt the lid as a real box. My first lid was a single flat plank — it clipped straight through the rotors and only covered half the keyboard. Now it’s a hollow box (top + front + two side walls) with the hinge raised above the rotor tops, so it clears everything when it closes. Live current path. Until now, pressing a key did nothing to the cabling — the keyboard-to-plugboard route was never visualized at all. Now I take the trace the engine hands back and draw the whole route — keycap → plugboard → rotor contacts → lamp — as one glowing tube, with a spark running along it. Heavier materials pass. Nudged the wood/brass/steel roughness, metalness, and env-map strength a notch heavier to kill the last of the plastic look. Stuff that tripped me up I committed all three changes at once and the build died on boot — three TypeScript errors, all from one mistake. My new lid store collided with an existing lid mesh variable, so the compiler threw Property 'subscribe' does not exist... , an implicit- any fell out of that, and on top of it I’d pasted over and deleted a partnerOf helper. Aliasing the import to lidStore and restoring the helper cleared all three at once. Lesson, paid the usual way: when you add a store with the same name as an existing mesh variable, alias it at the import line first — before TypeScript makes you. Next up The case opens and the wiring lights up, but it isn’t historically right yet. The real Enigma’s case came apart in three pieces — the main lid, a fold-down flap in front of the plugboard, and a separate cover over the rotors — and mine is still one lid sitting over fully exposed rotors. Next session: make it match the real thing.
Devlog #6 I asked the question — “is this actually accurate?” — and the answer was no. A real Enigma’s case isn’t one big lid you flip up. It splits into three: the main hinged lid, a fold-down flap in front of the plugboard, and a separate cover over the rotors with little letter windows. So I rebuilt all three. What actually works now Plugboard front flap. On the real machine the plugboard sat behind a panel that folds down from a hinge at the bottom. I added that front panel and tied it to the lid state, so closing the lid folds the flap up over the front too — the way it would look packed away for transport. Rotor cover (Walzenabdeckung). Instead of leaving the rotors fully exposed, there’s now a cover that hides everything except three letter windows and the finger-wheel slits, with brass bezels around each window. It rides its own ▢ 로터 toggle — closed gives the authentic operating look, open shows the rotors. Lid interior. The inside of the lid used to be empty; the real one carried spare bulbs, red/green filters, and a metal plate. Added a bulb-holder strip, the two filters, and a nameplate — and kept them on independent materials so they stay solid in X-ray instead of going transparent along with the case. Stuff that tripped me up Fully sinking the rotors into a well — so only the finger wheel and a single letter peek out, like the real machine — tangles with the X-ray wiring coordinates I’d already placed. Rather than move all the internal geometry, I got the same read from the cover: close it and you only ever see the letter windows. Same look, none of the rework.
Improvements made based on feedback English + Korean support has been applied. English is the default. There was a point raised in the feedback that the translator did not work properly, making it difficult to read. I apologize for not being considerate of you all. A guide panel has been added. It was added because feedback suggested that it would be helpful to have text explanations of how it works. A brief explanation of the Enigma and its principles has been added using a translator. A performance mode has been added. I received feedback that the browser was lagging, so I was struggling to figure out how to handle it. Depending on the mode, I lowered the pixel ratio or optimized the wiring calculations. The logo engraving has been changed. The black background plate has been removed, and a transparent texture with a dark groove and a bright rim has been created using a dual pass to make it look like it was carved into wood. To be honest, it still hasn’t reached the level I wanted, but I have wasted so much time here that I am honestly exhausted and plan to postpone it until next time. Rotation lock and camera presets have been added. I simply did exactly what was requested in the feedback, so there isn’t much to say about it. The crack mode was created simply because I was caught up in the strange idea that if there is an original cipher, there should also be a decryption function. It was the absolute hell; I will never do it again. Web workers use the same WASM engine as the simulator to [set] initial positions Scoring through brute force is difficult, involving the Interval of Concordance (IoC) as the primary axis plus the chi-square auxiliary for character frequency, plaintext previews for the top 5, and a button to apply directly to the machine… Trial and error: When I scored only the first 48 characters of each candidate in the full scope, a completely wrong rotor order happened to get a higher IoC and beat the correct answer (0.0677 vs 0.0651). However, when I selected the top 8 from a 64-character sample and re-scored and reordered the entire sentence, the correct answer won by a landslide (0.058 vs 0.012). Complete reconstruction of X-ray wiring. Honestly, I left the existing wiring as it was because it was a hassle, but it was tough working on it this time. I roughly standardized the thickness and connected the wires properly. Honestly, I still need to tidy it up a bit more, but I’m exhausted. Lastly, since some people claim my devlog was written by AI, I intentionally didn’t write a title or use Markdown this time. However, I’m not sure what the best approach would be. Please give me lots of feedback in the comments.
Devlog #10 This one is two small things instead of one big thing — share links, and a challenge mode built from real 1941 intercepts — plus an embarrassing amount of time spent not writing code. Most of it still isn’t properly wired in, but the hours happened, so here’s the honest checkpoint. Share links The whole machine state — rotors, reflector, rings, start position, plugboard — plus a message now fits in the URL hash, like #I.II.III.B:TOU:HOU:ABCDXZ:HELLOWORLD . Opening the link configures the machine and runs the message through it, so the person on the other end watches their lampboard spell out the plaintext. “I encrypted this, try reading it” finally works as a link. My first version of the format forgot the reflector. Anyone opening those links would have gotten confident garbage, and I only noticed while writing the parser. It costs four characters in the URL. Real intercepts, verified I didn’t want to invent fake historical messages, so I went looking for real ones — and that hunt ate the first chunk of the day. Ended up at Ostwald and Weierud’s Cryptologia paper (2017)( https://cryptocellar.org ), which lists 13 authentic Wehrmacht messages from 1941, transcribed from the actual message forms, with keys recovered by modern cryptanalysis. I picked six — from a three-word “morning report canceled” up to an SS tank division complaining that two other divisions are blocking its road. Each form starts with a 5-letter group that looks like ciphertext but isn’t — it’s the Kenngruppe, a network discriminant. The paper warns you to skip it before decrypting, and for once I read the instructions first. All six decrypt on the site’s engine to exactly the plaintext on the forms. The cracker only spoke English The crack mode scored decryptions by English letter frequencies. These messages are German. Added a German frequency table and scored by whichever language fits better. Still not enough for the short ones. I ran a parameter sweep over the scoring weights and the 18-to-76-letter intercepts never rank first under any combination. That’s not a bug, it’s information theory — and it’s exactly why Bletchley Park needed cribs instead of brute force. So the panel is honest about it: only the 214-letter intercept gets a “Crack positions” button (it recovers the real start position, SDV, in about half a second), and the short ones say why they’re decrypt-only. Where the hours actually went Reading a cryptology paper instead of writing components. Rewriting the challenge card layout more than once. Re-running the sweep every time I changed my mind about the scoring. The code diff is small; the day was not. The remaining wiring is still in progress. Next up Crib-based cracking, the known-plaintext attack. That’s what actually breaks the short ones, and it’s the historically accurate method
Devlog #11 Last devlog ended with me calling statistics-only scoring the last fake thing in the cracker, and promising the real attack. This is that The actual attack A crib is a guessed fragment of plaintext — operators were creatures of habit, and words like “Meldung” (report) show up in everything. With a crib, the cracker stops scoring vibes entirely: every candidate setting decrypts the text, and the crib either appears in it letter-for-letter or it doesn’t. Six exact letters out of 17,576 start positions leaves one setting standing. The five short intercepts that statistics couldn’t touch now each carry a crib — FUNKEN, MORGEN, STEINECKE (the Germans really did sign Steinecke twice) — and all of them break in under a second. One historical filter made it in: a letter never encrypts to itself, so a crib can only sit where no letter collides with the ciphertext. Fixed-offset guesses get rejected on that rule before the search even runs. The answer that was wrong and right The fun started in testing. One intercept’s documented start position is SWV, but my cracker’s top hit came back RVV — and RVV decrypts the message perfectly. Letter for letter, not just the crib window. I was convinced my engine was broken, so I compiled the reference C++ natively and compared: identical output on both. It’s not a bug. This key’s middle rotor sits exactly on its notch, so the famous double-step kicks the left rotor forward on the very first keypress — (R,V,V) and (S,W,V) converge to the same machine state before a single letter is encrypted. Two daily keys, one message. The codebreakers knew this class of equivalent settings; I rediscovered it by being confused for an hour. Next up The guided demo — the machine types, X-rays its own wiring, and cracks its own message while a first-time visitor watches.

Enigma I built a working Enigma machine you can use, take apart, and see the electricity move through — all in the browser. Not a diagram of one, not a gif: the real cipher engine, wired to a 3D model you can rotate, peel open, and rewire with your hands. What it is The brain is a historically correct Enigma engine written once in C++ and shared two ways — a CLI binary and a WASM module compiled with Emscripten — so the thing in your browser ciphers letter-for-letter the same as the command line. Double-stepping, ring settings, reflector, plugboard, all of it. It passes the standard test vector (rotors I·II·III / reflector B / rings TOU / start HOU / plugs ABCDXZ → TOUHOU encrypts to MQGGFI ). On top of that engine sits a Three.js machine you can actually operate: type on the keyboard, the rotors turn to their real angles and the matching lamp lights up. Flip on X-ray and the wooden case goes translucent, revealing all 26 wires inside — and the exact current path of the key you just pressed lights up and sparks along the wire, traced straight from the engine’s own answer. What was hard The engine was the easy part. Making it look like the real thing is what fought back. The case isn’t one lid — a real Enigma comes apart in three: the main hinged lid, a fold-down flap over the plugboard, and a separate rotor cover with little letter windows. Each one had to hinge and occlude correctly without clipping through the others. The plugboard cables kept poking through the closed front cover. I spent two rounds shrinking how far they sagged before realizing the problem was never depth — the cables sat in front of the closed cover on the z-axis, so they’d punch through the wood no matter how short I made them. Pull them back behind the cover face and it finally read right. Reflector and entry wheel looked like “a rotor with the letters erased.” Turns out on the real machine they’re fixed inside the housing and never visible from outside — so I hid them in normal view and only expose the contacts under X-ray. What I’m proud of The plugboard you wire with your hands. Grab a socket, drag to another, and a cable snaps in; the wire stretches under your cursor while you drag, the target socket highlights blue, and the patch feeds straight back into the engine so the encryption and the X-ray wiring update live. Pulling a cable out works the same way. It feels like handling the real hardware, not clicking a form. And the honesty of it: one engine, verified against a known test vector, with nothing faked between what you see and what actually ciphers. How to test it Type something. Watch the rotors step and the lamps light. Long messages show the rotors carrying over, double-step and all. Hit X-ray. The case turns to glass; press a key and follow the lit current path through plugboard → rotors → reflector → back out to the lamp. Wire the plugboard. Drag between two sockets to pair them, drag a cable out to remove it — the cipher changes immediately. Open it up. Toggle the lid, the rotor cover, and the front flap to see how the real case comes apart. Trust but verify. Set rotors I·II·III, reflector B, rings TOU, start HOU, plugs ABCDXZ, and type TOUHOU — you should get MQGGFI , the canonical Enigma test vector. ...

Still creating stuff, don’t worry! A big devlog will be created soon of how stuff works. I am just creating an arena system and don’t want to lose hours on it.
Added arena system! An arena system has been added that allows you to make arenas with: Block Break/Place permissions Block decay time Explosion Damage/Block breaking Map regeneration time When creating the arena, you need to select 2 points with a wand you get from the /selection-wand command. Then, you can type the /add-arena <name> command, that opens the menu you can view in the first picture.

I just use a frick ton of markdown, and like to format my messages. AI wasn’t used in this message at all.
Added more options to arena editing Now you can access the arena adding options to the arena editing menu!
Added Combat System, Warps and Item Dropping option! The latest version includes a combat system. Here’s how it works: If a user is in an arena and attacks/is attacked by another player, they get tagged and cannot log on until it expires . The tag gets set to 30 seconds by default. This helps prevent combat logging , which is basically leaving from a fight to save your K/D ratio or items. If you log off while tagged, you die . Drop option You can now enable or disable if items should be dropped after death. Warps Users can now type /warp to warp to an arena. They cannot do that in combat to prevent combat logging.
Cleaning up some stuff, edited readme
Message to the reviewer (image unreleated) EDIT!!!!!! In slack, they told this should be fine!!!
Added filters :o Added a filter system that basically doesn’t allow the users to break, place or craft certain blocks.

Started off with logic PSU and basic signals from the RCA jacks w/ the transistor amps.
I did like the whole thing and finished it. But basically the 555 timers aren’t oscillating right, and the signal from RCA jacks is going straight to FETs. And it kinda worked. like, I heard music play through magnetic restriction of the transformer core lol, but not plasma. Time Spent: 6 Hours
Got to work building Rev. 2, since this has to work for outpost. My wiring is a little cleaner this time and also I have the 555 timer wired differently so it should work. Time Spent: 2 Hours
Added in adjustment pots, did some more wiring to the 555s, etc.
Added in ports, did some more wiring, and made a second amp for the 555 signal. Time Spent: 3 Hours
Finished the build!

You watch patients move through the ER, labs, imaging, ICU and wards in real time, and it's all running on a simulation engine (FastAPI + WebSockets) that streams the state to the frontend constantly. On top of that I built an AI copilot that spots bottlenecks and actually recommends staffing changes using OR-Tools optimization + Holt-Winters forecasting. There's also a sandbox where you can throw crises at it (flu outbreak, CT scanner dying, mass casualty) and watch the hospital react. Plus it does shift handoff reports and tracks high-risk patients with AI care plans. The main thing I cared about was making it actually feel like real medical software, not a hackathon toy. So I built the whole UI around a design contract based on HIPAA, FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 and WCAG 2.1. PHI is hidden by default, there's an auto-logout timer, status is never just a color, and I ripped out every glow/gradient/animation so it's calm to look at on a long shift. Full dark/light mode too. ## What Was Challenging The real-time stuff, honestly. Keeping the frontend in sync with a simulation that never stops updating, over WebSockets, without it lagging or flickering, was a pain. The AI optimization was also tough, getting OR-Tools to give recommendations that actually made sense and then explaining them in plain English. And the dark mode almost killed me lol. All my status cards were hardcoded to light colors so dark mode looked HORRIBLE, and I had to rebuild the entire color system on CSS variable tokens to fix it (213 replacements). ## What I'm Proud Of That it genuinely doesn't feel like a toy. It feels like something you could actually stick in a hospital ops room. Running the copilot, getting a real recommendation, hitting \"Implement\" and watching the metrics actually move is so satisfying. And the compliance stuff isn't just for looks, every choice actually ties back to a real medical standard. ## How To Test It Just open the link and you're in, no setup needed. If you'd rather run it yourself, download everything and follow the instructions in the README. Once you're in, easiest thing is to hit **\"Auto Demo\"** in the sidebar, it's a 1-click walkthrough of the whole thing. After that go trigger a crisis in the **Sandbox** and flip to the **Command Center** to watch it hit the floor plan, run the **AI Copilot** and click Implement to see the numbers move, and toggle dark/light mode in the top right.", "repo": "https://github.com/DagaVedant/PulseFlow-AI", "demo": "https://pulse-flow-mjilr4qso-dagavedants-projects.vercel.app/command-center"}]...

Quick Fixes revised README demo link and Stardance “Try It Link” rewrote all the devlogs to match my style (mods can you create a way for me to update my ship message from before to show all the new features I added)
big decision no more vibecoding so basically im creating a new basic design because i dont want to make everything look vibecoded its going to be very simple, minimalistic, and just really tabular im going to slowly make it look better as I get better at coding everything myself unlike the previous liquid glass design where I made the design and it was implemented using AI
largest update yet what i built: removed the entire liquid-glass ui, glass, gradients, cursive headings, wallpaper animations- deleted all the older theme that was AI slop made a clean new navy theme that IIII coded myself- its a flat design, with a nice navy blue background,and some cool fonts like space grotesk and jetbrains mono removed the digital-twin page because it wasn’t even needed anymore fixed a nav bar bug and cleaned up the readme to match all the new changes wrote a run.py that boots backend and frontend together in one command instead of like 10000 commands deleted a bunch of unused old images and docs also removed all the old random things too what broke: basically two times the app wasnt loading at all…it ended up being some old runs that didnt leave the port how i fixed it just killed the programs and restarted everything
got everything read to be shipped added pictures updated README with new info cleaned up repo updated project description updated viewing link

# PulseFlow-AI — A Live Hospital Digital Twin + AI Ops Copilot ## What I Made Basically it's a live "digital twin" of a hospital. You watch patients move through the ER, labs, imaging, ICU and wards in real time, and it's all running on a simulation engine (FastAPI + WebSockets) that streams the state to the frontend constantly. On top of that I built an AI copilot that spots bottlenecks and actually recommends staffing changes using OR-Tools optimization + Holt-Winters forecasting. There's also a sandbox where you can throw crises at it (flu outbreak, CT scanner dying, mass casualty) and watch the hospital react. Plus it does shift handoff reports and tracks high-risk patients with AI care plans. The main thing I cared about was making it actually feel like real medical software, not a hackathon toy. So I built the whole UI around a design contract based on HIPAA, FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 and WCAG 2.1. PHI is hidden by default, there's an auto-logout timer, status is never just a color, and I ripped out every glow/gradient/animation so it's calm to look at on a long shift. Full dark/light mode too. ## What Was Challenging The real-time stuff, honestly. Keeping the frontend in sync with a simulation that never stops updating, over WebSockets, without it lagging or flickering, was a pain. The AI optimization was also tough, getting OR-Tools to give recommendations that actually made sense and then explaining them in plain English. And the dark mode almost killed me lol. All my status cards were hardcoded to light colors so dark mode looked HORRIBLE, and I had to rebuild the entire color system on CSS variable tokens to fix it (213 replacements). ## What I'm Proud Of That it genuinely doesn't feel like a toy. It feels like something you could actually stick in a hospital ops room. Running the copilot, getting a real recommendation, hitting "Implement" and watching the metrics actually move is so satisfying. And the compliance stuff isn't just for looks, every choice actually ties back to a real medical standard. ## How To Test It Just open the link and you're in, no setup needed. If you'd rather run it yourself, download everything and follow the instructions in the README. Once you're in, easiest thing is to hit **"Auto Demo"** in the sidebar, it's a 1-click walkthrough of the whole thing. After that go trigger a crisis in the **Sandbox** and flip to the **Command Center** to watch it hit the floor plan, run the **AI Copilot** and click Implement to see the numbers move, and toggle dark/light mode in the top right....

[{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-0 [{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-06-13T19:38:25Z", "hours": 10.0, "multiplier": 13.37, "payout": 134, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "What did you make? I built Recovery Quest, a web application that transforms recovery and healthy habits into an RPG-style experience. The idea started with a simple observation: taking care of ourselves often feels invisible. You sleep well, eat better, stay active, and make healthier choices, yet it’s hard to see the impact of those small decisions from day to day. Without visible progress, motivation fades. Recovery Quest changes that. Users log information related to their sleep, nutrition, and exercise, and the system evaluates their overall recovery state. Instead of just displaying numbers, the app presents meaningful feedback through game-inspired progression systems. Healthy choices contribute to a sense of growth, turning recovery from an abstract concept into a journey users can actively follow. The goal is simple: make taking care of yourself feel rewarding instead of repetitive. What was challenging? The biggest challenge was designing a system that felt encouraging without oversimplifying recovery. Recovery isn’t determined by a single factor. Sleep, nutrition, and physical activity all influence how someone feels, and I had to think carefully about how these elements should work together to generate useful feedback. Another challenge was balancing the RPG elements. I didn’t want Recovery Quest to become just another game with health-themed decorations. The progression systems had to support the main purpose of the app: helping users understand and improve their recovery habits. Finding that balance between engagement and meaningful feedback required a lot of experimentation and refinement. What are you proud of? I’m proud that Recovery Quest makes something invisible feel visible. Recovery is difficult to measure in everyday life. Most people don’t notice the cumulative effect of sleeping better, eating more consistently, or exercising regularly until weeks later. Recovery Quest highlights those small victories. Users can see how their habits influence their recovery state and receive feedback that encourages them to continue building healthier routines. I’m also proud that I built the entire experience as a fully functional front-end application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, combining recovery tracking with engaging progression mechanics into one cohesive experience. Most of all, I’m proud of creating something that encourages people to take care of themselves through positive reinforcement rather than guilt or pressure. What should people know so they can test your project? To test Recovery Quest, simply explore the app by entering information related to your sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits. The system will evaluate your recovery state and provide feedback based on the choices you make. One important thing to note is that this version does not include a backend. If you log out, your data will be lost. Despite this limitation, the complete recovery experience can still be explored, allowing users to understand the core idea behind Recovery Quest: turning the journey toward better well-being into an adventure worth returning to.", "repo": "https://github.com/medayedi123/Recvoery-Quest", "demo": "https://recoveryquest.netlify.app/"}]...

You’re just guessing your own state all the time. That bugged me more than it should’ve. So I got up, opened my editor, and started typing with zero plan. The first version was straight up homework What I had after that session was, with love, extremely boring: a sleep input, a workout log, a nutrition counter. Nothing different from the five other apps I’d already downloaded and quit on. Next day I looked at it and realized I’d just rebuilt what I was trying to escape. Cool. Great use of a night. The dumb little rename that fixed everything I changed “sleep hours” to “recovery impact.” I changed “workout logged” to “training XP gained.” Same data, same numbers, just different words. But seeing “+40 training XP” instead of “workout logged” did something weird. It stopped feeling like filling a form and started feeling like leveling up a character. Who is also me. That tiny change became the seed for everything else. Once that clicked, I couldn’t stop After that night I started designing systems for my own life without meaning to. The dashboard became home base. Streaks became a combo system. Recovery score became a condition stat. None of it was planned, it just kept clicking into place. I kept things simple: vanilla HTML, CSS, JS, no backend, everything in local storage. I didn’t want infrastructure slowing down an idea I wasn’t even sure about. And I didn’t want another fitness tracker. There are too many, and most feel identical after week two. I wanted something else — not “what did you do today,” but “what happens if you keep doing this?” The feature that hit harder than expected Memory Map started as a throwaway idea — one photo per day on a timeline. But scrolling back through it later actually hit me. You can watch yourself change, not as stats, but as a person. I went back two weeks once and just stared at it. Claude was in the room for basically all of this I didn’t build this alone. That night I had a feeling and no idea how to turn it into code. So I talked it through with Claude like a senior dev sitting next to me at 1am asking, “okay, but how would this work?” It helped me figure out recovery scoring, XP scaling, and why my first streak logic kept breaking. Stuff I’d been stuck on just got untangled. I still wrote the code and made every decision about what this was. But that back-and-forth made me willing to try things I’d normally overthink out of. Why I kept going Every time I added something, I’d get that “wait… this is actually a system now” feeling. Rare enough that I kept chasing it. Recovery Quest was still rough and missing most of what it has now, but it already changed how I think about habits — not as a checklist, but as mechanics affecting other mechanics. Hard to go back once you see it that way. Devlog #1, done.

Recovery Quest — Devlog #1: the night this started making sense Before Recovery Quest was Recovery Quest, it was just a mess on my screen at 1am. Idk how else to put it. Let me back up. The thought that wouldn’t leave me alone I was lying in bed, half scrolling, half thinking about nothing, when this question hit me: why does real life not have a UI? In games I always know exactly where I stand — health bar, stamina, XP, buffs, debuffs. In real life? Nothing. You wake up and wonder “am I tired or just overthinking it” with no number to check. You’re just guessing your own state all the time. That bugged me more than it should’ve. So I got up, opened my editor, and started typing with zero plan. The first version was straight up homework What I had after that session was, with love, extremely boring: a sleep input, a workout log, a nutrition counter. Nothing different from the five other apps I’d already downloaded and quit on. Next day I looked at it and realized I’d just rebuilt what I was trying to escape. Cool. Great use of a night. The dumb little rename that fixed everything I changed “sleep hours” to “recovery impact.” I changed “workout logged” to “training XP gained.” Same data, same numbers, just different words.

Pat I ch Notes: The “I Fixed That Annoying Stuff” UpdateHey everyone! I just rolled out a new update based on the feedback you gave me. I tackled the biggest pain points today:Security Upgrade: No more hardcoded keys! Quality of Life: Training Tab: Lookin’ cleaner and more organized. Nav Hover: Fixed that weird hover glitch that followed you between tabs.Check it out and let me know if you find anything else.
Ships:
What did you make? I built Recovery Quest, a web application that transforms recovery and healthy habits into an RPG-style experience. The idea started with a simple observation: taking care of ourselves often feels invisible. You sleep well, eat better, stay active, and make healthier choices, yet it’s hard to see the impact of those small decisions from day to day. Without visible progress, motivation fades. Recovery Quest changes that. Users log information related to their sleep, nutrition, and exercise, and the system evaluates their overall recovery state. Instead of just displaying numbers, the app presents meaningful feedback through game-inspired progression systems. Healthy choices contribute to a sense of growth, turning recovery from an abstract concept into a journey users can actively follow. The goal is simple: make taking care of yourself feel rewarding instead of repetitive. What was challenging? The biggest challenge was designing a system that felt encouraging without oversimplifying recovery. Recovery isn’t determined by a single factor. Sleep, nutrition, and physical activity all influence how someone feels, and I had to think carefully about how these elements should work together to generate useful feedback. Another challenge was balancing the RPG elements. I didn’t want Recovery Quest to become just another game with health-themed decorations. The progression systems had to support the main purpose of the app: helping users understand and improve their recovery habits. Finding that balance between engagement and meaningful feedback required a lot of experimentation and refinement. What are you proud of? I’m proud that Recovery Quest makes something invisible feel visible. Recovery is difficult to measure in everyday life. Most people don’t notice the cumulative effect of sleeping better, eating more consistently, or exercising regularly until weeks later. Recovery Quest highlights those small victories. Users can see how their habits influence their recovery state and receive feedback that encourages them to continue building healthier routines. I’m also proud that I built the entire experience as a fully functional front-end application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, combining recovery tracking with engaging progression mechanics into one cohesive experience. Most of all, I’m proud of creating something that encourages people to take care of themselves through positive reinforcement rather than guilt or pressure. What should people know so they can test your project? To test Recovery Quest, simply explore the app by entering information related to your sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits. The system will evaluate your recovery state and provide feedback based on the choices you make. One important thing to note is that this version does not include a backend. If you log out, your data will be lost. Despite this limitation, the complete recovery experience can still be explored, allowing users to understand the core idea behind Recovery Quest: turning the journey toward better well-being into an adventure worth returning to....

This took longer than it should but it was kind of a pain figuring out the position of stuff and thats why it took quite a bit of time. Next fifth level!
Level 5 is done! I think level 6 is going to be the very last level so next I just have to make that and a win/death screen. Although really you don’t die unless you like quit at the very beginning but oh well. Level 5 is again password protected, we have our little friendly hint man. You can click the paper to read some text, and the password is the number associated with the 4 objects. (ex. there are 4 hooks, 2 people, number 3 on clock is missing). Of course all windows are draggable what not. Level 6 next!
Level 6 is done at last! AKA the final level unless I spontaneously decide to add one more. Here there is a newspaper you reveal, and basically there is a clock on the wall and the paper tells you to look behind the clock, there’s the password but oh wait it has to be in numerical order least to greatest. Pretty fun and easy to make, and yeah I’m kind of running out of ideas for levels so this will probably be the last. A lot of repitive work mostly.
Quit screen is done! Pretty simple but I think that’s okay since the quit screen won’t be viewed very often… click session terminated and everything goes black and one would probably close the tab. Lastly the end screen!
This may just be the final devlog! Unless I add more although I don’t think I will. Here you can click on this guy and it opens a popup asking if you want to talk to him, and you guys can talk through the terminal. Finally you choose whether you want to stay and switches to this terminal room, or leave in which its just a black screen that says session terminated. I made a lot of silly errors in the terminal so debugging took a little while but its done now!
Ships:
I made a web based escape room made in HTML, CSS, and JS. There is a storyline that progresses throughout the game, and the user has to escape from being trapped inside a computer. Each level (there are 6) is password protected, and the passwords are hidden in different places throughout each level. There are multiple interactive elements, such as file explorers, terminals, open/close windows, draggable windows, choice buttons, and hidden objects. There is also a unique win and quit screen that can be achieved. I am happy with the way this turned out and the overall aesthetic of it. The Javascript was kind of difficult at times but for the most part just repetitive. Future improvements may be more levels or better graphics/storyline. Hope you enjoy!...

This site is meant to be fun, and I built it so we can remember the ISS forever, as its retiring soon. The challenging thing was probably the cursor. Aaand the scrollbar. Before, I knew the absolute basics of these 2 features, but in this project I learnt a lot more about them. I enjoyed making it bc of css - it was such a creative and smooth process. Please try on laptop/computer OR watch the videos attached in devlog 8. It do NOT work correctly on smartphones....

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

For example, advancement probabilities for each team at each position in their group. Note, when opening the link for the first time, it may take a while to load as it needs to grab the data through the GitHub repo, but after loading, it shouldn’t have many delays.
This is the second ship on my project, if you didn’t review the first one, it’s a world cup simulator made using a Random Forest model and Poisson distribution model to generate scores. All matches were simulated locally to generate a consensus result base viewable across the site. The new feature, reason for reship, was the knockout matchups starting and now there is an interactive bracket so you can simulate your own games but also keep real results once they occur. The site is updated daily, either at the end of the day when matches are complete, or the next morning so expect changes depending on when you view the site. A challenging aspect this time around was organizing the bracket structure such that the teams flow downward when they win. Two things to note, the site does take a while to load the first time as it needs to gather all the data and simulation function, but there should be no other lag or problems once active. Lastly, though the third place matchup doesn’t show up at first, it appears after both semifinal matchups are simulated. Enjoy!...

Hello. I started this project. Actually, I had thought of something different, and that’s why it has this name “Orbit”. But now that I’ve decided to do this, I’ll change the name later. Basically, I’m starting out in C (really learning it right now), and since I’m a beginner and I got my first laptop, which is Linux (because I didn’t want to pay for a Windows license/I don’t have anything tying me to it, considering this is my first machine), and since I’m in this Dev and Builder life and C is the basis of many things and OSs… So I decided to do something along the lines of Unix/Linux . I thought, “nothing better than playing with the Terminal for this,” so I started with this simple version here. Which: is in an infinite loop (1) has the echo command (to print) and sum (to sum) Uses strtok (which I’m learning) to manipulate strings and the tokens for what they call them. I think that’s it :p
Basically, I added a very simple history file to the app, like a .bash_history . But in this case, I’m using a history.txt file. It opens and writes exactly everything typed in the terminal, skipping a line . Man, messing with/manipulating files here is quite difficult… using * for pointers and dereferencing confused me a bit. Sometimes I forgot it and it gave me errors. The good part is that my own editor recommended clangd . Actually, I don’t know exactly what it is, but it seems like a lintter and automatic pre-compiler. It’s helping me… One thing I miss is being able to attach more than one media file. At least I had the copy and paste image option, and it didn’t work.
That’s a cool thing… I added a command to clear the history , which in this case is clear_history . It’s a simple thing, but it improves the app’s usability. That’s pretty much it.
So, here I put something REALLY COOL : executing system commands in the terminal inside the terminal -\°°/-. It’s kind of funny, but like, I can run ls, cat, date, pwd , etc. I thought it would take longer, but it didn’t. I just needed to pass the tokens, concatenate the command setting the `run’ as the one that connects the app to the system terminal . It turned out I was doing some C things for the course and I was already testing this… And I used M365 Copilot to help me. Well, I already use it to reinforce the content of the classes, lessons, learn some things and also to debug my code , exercises/lists that the teachers gave. So I kind of just continued where I was.
Continuing here, I was working and studying (Chemical Kinetics :\ ) with the M365 Copilot and it said something like: why not put an enumerator of the commands in the history? I thought it was a good idea and that’s what I went looking for . I had to change, replace, you know, the part where I saw the commands to keep doing a ++ for the counter . But when it worked (compiled and had changed to this new logic) it ended up, for some reason, printing 35949 commands in memory! . Basically some kind of memory flow or something like that related to the command that calls the system (run) . I have to see why this happened…
I started making the directory changes . Actually, I spent more time testing and thinking about what to do and running tests . I didn’t even get the idea to be able to see/repeat the last commands like ↑↓ that are in normal terminals. I haven’t done that many upgrades , but I’ve studied and am still developing the idea
Today I finished implementing the cd command. Now I can change directories within the project terminal. The process is to run run ls and then use cd . In this case, I left it without the run command, just using cd directly .
The available commands: help echo sum history clear_history run cd I’ve already finished the list for the available commands here. I left an array, and with that, we can keep *adding more stuff * later and make the help command actually helpful :)
It was supposed to be working here. Now the CLI has the repeat command that takes the number 'n' , which is the parameter the user puts in, and looks in history.txt for which 'n' command should be executed and repeats it. I realized that adding history using the ↑↓ (keyboard arrows) would be more complicated and could, not break/bug, but slow me down in what I was doing and testing.
Implemented a dynamic dispatch system using an array of structures and function pointers. Replaced the entire nested if/else chain inside main with a clean lookup table. Commands like echo, sum, and run are now isolated functions mapped to their respective triggers. Much easier to extend now.
Refactoring the main execution loop with M365 Copilot. Moving away from the messy string comparisons and building a cleaner internal structure for command handling. Spent time debugging memory allocations and ensuring tokens from strtok don’t leak between cycles.
Massive session in the last days. Honestly, the past few days have been a heavy grind balancing school work and academic study.

I’m done for now.

Starting working on FLashDash! Set up the project and made the readME becuase i didnt feel like programming that much But atleast i still had some styling from an old project so the bones are there now :D
I did some of the ui work and did the basic Download functions using aria2c and aria2p
Download Status added. I added a button to clear all commpleted, faild or missing.Also some Css got done, fixed a bug with the background
#Big update!! I worked for a bit and now u can pick the Dir where the file should be saved which is a nessassity. Also started working on the settings page: Now its possible to change the collors and set a default download dir!!! (Light mode is also avalible) as u can see not quite done yet but it will be in the next update
I genuenly forgot what i did at the start becuase i didnt work on it for a week so 30 min are just undocumented :C The rest tho is pretty cool!!I finally found a (sadly simple) fix to the background issue with white and dark mode! Also added a button to Pause and Resume downloads!!
NEW UPDATE I added 2 New big Features!! Now single downloades can be stopped or resumed Now downloads can be split aka downloaded in Parralel by 8 and 16 :3
Added the repositorys tab!! this is the final main feature! SO its done!!! also added a setup script ;3
I made an Install script that does pretty much everything for the user! The only thing the user has to do is to have the Programs installed: git python3 aria2 / aria2c (depends on the distro what the name is) I have also test it now on fedora, arch and debian!
Ships:
FlashDash is finally Done! FlashDash is a WebUI for Aria2c whats aria2c? Its a download manager for a remote server for the command line… And well i didnt really liked the way u had to use it remember alot of hotkeys so i build a WebUI for it! U can do all Fetures needed for a download Manager! Downloading stuff obviusly Parralel Downloading Spliting a download into multiple Stopping and Resuming single downloads Repositorys that are like bookmarks but cooler! Custom designes u can pick!! All of this works on one device if u dont like to download all ur Linux ISOs via a browser or for an Server so i can download all my stuff while i Sleep! Sadly this means i cant just have an open Demo to the public :( There is just no way i can let strangers use a download manager on my server x33 U can try it urself tho! I made instructions on how to use it and I tryed it again clean on my own system. For setting it up as a service u can just run the setup.sh file! Hope u have fun downloading with FLashDash!...

The encoder works by assigning each letter of your input text a numerical value. Then, the numbers are arranged into pairs like this: [8 5][12 12][15 0]. Finally, these small matrices are multiplied by a key matrix. This multiplication gives you the final result for the encoded message. The decoder works by taking numerical input and transforming it into a decoded message. The numerical input is also arranged into pairs. These pairs are then multiplied by the inverse of the key matrix. Finally, using the numbers you calculate for, you translate into their alphabetical equivalent. Did that make no sense? Do not worry! My website also includes a page explaining the process behind using matrices in cryptography. It does not only include text, but also little silly graphics to help you understand better. The goal isn’t just to have decoder, but also to spread my love of math to others!! Challenges: The biggest challenge I went through was that my code was not working according to my math. Instead of multiplying my pairs by the key matrix, it was multiplying them in the incorrect order. This caused the resulting output to be very off. Thankfully, was able to determine what to swap to make my encoder work. The best part: my favorite part of this project was creating the graphics. Even if they are not a major part of my project, they still add a cute whimsy to it!", "repo": "https://github.com/SILVENDz/matrixencoder", "demo": "https://silvendz.github.io/matrixencoder/"}]...

Jojk is a markup language im making, and im using it to learn haskell, so i anticipate a lot of issues. Right now it takes a file as an input and outputs the file but in html format
Jojk now has the following features: Support for text types (bold, italic, strikethrough, etc) Can do links! No compiler warnings! Ive learnt lots, most of it being that haskell is weird, but the compiler warnings are awesome. You forgot to specify the input and return type of a function? The compiler warning literally tells you the type, and gives you the exact codepiece you need to add! I did encounter a couple of errors, but most of them were just things like haskell needing an int instead of a “maybe int”(what the hell is a maybe int?)
Several notable changes, including: Support for lists!!! (Unordered, ordered coming soon) Lambda notation More concise code and shorter function names Getting the lists to work was a nightmare, i had to do some cheeky recursion thing and it was not easy. I also had to put parentheses like everywhere for the compiler to understand what ordering i wanted, but it didnt say that, it just said “Couldn’t match expected type with actual type”, and i had no idea what was going on.
I have made multiple large changes, including Support for both ordered and unordered lists Output in MarkDown format Rewrite of code to be more haskell like (for example, pattern matching) Making the markdown output took a lot of time, since i basically had to rewrite every formatting function, but it went faster than with html output, probably because im better at haskell now
Been a while scince the last devlog Since then i have: Written a readme and security policy Support for nested commands Compiles without warnings even more “haskell like” Nesting commands dont work super well, but for simpler nesting it should work fine I have also learnt that haskell types are super weird, somehow theres a difference between String and [Char] , and i have no idea what it is Screenshot is of it compiling without errors
Final prepares before shipping, and git merge conflicts
Ships:
Jojk is a markup interpreter for a markup langage i made. I used this project to learn haskell, so i had lots of issues along the way, but i made it through. Some of the features are: Output to both HTML and Markdown User specified output file Nested commands Completely deterministic Getting command nesting to work was difficult, and it still dosent work for edge cases (edge cases being about half the cases) This project only works on linux. WSL should work...

I made more room in the back of the robot for pinewood derby car weights (to make the robot drive better on two wheels) then changed the robot to have four wheels (which eliminates the need for the weights). I modified the washer part of a wheel hub on Printables to have a pulley for a belt to drive the front wheels from the back wheels.

I made Ace of Sharks a four wheel drive robot!

Then I realized the number I calculated was the circumference and I was using it as the diameter. That fixed it! Next, I will need to print out the parts and see what problems I missed in the CAD.
Five weeks before the next tournament, I decided to start over from scratch and completely redesign Ace of Sharks. Why?

I discovered that the gear on the shark arm was intersecting with the top plate. 3. There should be a wall around the gear inside the chassis to keep wires out of it. While writing this, I realized that I need a slot in the wall to have room for the servo wire.
It works! (Mostly!) There are a few silly bugs (like putting the screw pass through hole on the part it should screw into and vise versa) but it is assembled and can lift an old chassis iteration! I fixed the bugs in the CAD file and added some more decorations to the top plate. I was surprised at how few bugs there were in the first iteration. I have not tested the 4wd part yet because I don’t have the shoulder bolts yet, but that will come soon.
So when I went to order the shoulder bolts off Amazon, shipping takes a couple weeks and they will not get here in time for the tournament. Sigh. I did find a listing on Home Depot for regular bolts that might work (or at least be good enough for now). Hopefully I can find something that works for the tournament. I also began making the GitHub repository for Ace of Sharks and wrote a README.
I did the first drive test of Ace of Sharks 3.1 and had some fun throwing beanie babies around! The drive works amazing. With previous 2wd versions, driving backwards would not work well at all. This 4wd version fixes that issue, and backwards works just as well as forwards. I also began redesigning a logo for stickers to hand out at the tournament! I like having one with an image of my robot on it, so I got that one redesigned from v2 Ace of Sharks. I had to use some regular M3 bolts instead of the shoulder bolts for the wheel axels, but I think it will be good enough for the tournament!
4wd with belts is hard. I think most if not all of the time here was spent working on trying to get 4wd to work.

Ace of Sharks 3.1 Tournament! Shipwrights, please read the note at the end of this devlog. I brought Ace of Sharks 3.1 to a tournament and it went pretty well! I defiantly found some bugs that need fixed (like the whole weapon assembly falling off) but I was still able to lift other robots and the concept worked great. There was no four wheel drive for this iteration, but that will come soon as well as wheel guards and a stronger attachment point for the lifter assembly. I am ready to ship, with the tournament highlight video as the demo video for Ace of Sharks. Stay tuned to Ace of Sharks as I will continue to improve Ace of Sharks 3.2 to prepare for another tournament before Stardance is over! Edit for shipwrights because I can’t edit the ship post: I hope bonuses will retroactively apply as well as payout increases. I have a logo I make into stickers to give out a tournaments (a new one for v3 and I have three other Ace of Sharks logos I wish I could show you but I can’t add more pictures to a devlog), I edited a highlight video myself (that’s the demo video) and I designed the poster myself. I worked really hard on making this project do well in voting, so I am disappointed at the fixed 5 stardust an hour payout rate. The fixed payout makes sense with the way Stardance is formatted; it’s just disappointing because of how hard I worked on this project, trying to get 15-20 stardust an hour.
Next iteration: Ace of Sharks 3.2 So far, I have: Strengthened the weapon assembly Added wheel guards Changed the shape of the shark arm to hopefully reach over drum spinners I also decided I want to improve wheel traction (the grippiness of the wheel) to hopefully get more pushing power. I don’t have time to get funding, design, and iterate a cast polyurethane wheel for this tournament, so I decided I will get rubber cement and experiment with gluing rubber bands, electrical tape (sticky side out), and latex balloons to the foam wheels and see what works best.
Wheel guards! I added new wheel guards to Ace of Sharks (don’t mind the bright red, it’s just a test with random filament) and tested a bunch of wheel combos. The wheel guard print worked the first time (!), and seems ready. In the Duramic PLA+ filament, Ace of Sharks should be underweight and ready for a possible tournament next week! I tried rubber cement coated wheels to try to improve traction, and it worked really well. I also added rubber bands wrapped around the rubber cement, and that improves traction as well. That is probably what I will do in the tournament, and we will see how it works in a fight. Rubber cement does pick up dust, but a damp cloth will wipe it off and not significantly reduce stickiness. (I forgot to lapse the testing and chassis swap during the Stardance huddle, oops… )
It doesn’t break anymore! I brought Ace of Sharks to a tournament and it held up way better than last time. I made the nubs a separate piece so that it won’t break along layer lines anymore, and the weapon assembly never fell of! The wheel guards worked and I broke 0 motors. The rubber cement coating on the wheels worked decent with a new coat after every match. I asked other builders and liquid latex over rubber cement is common. I tied four other robots for 5th place and had a great time talking with and learning from other builders :)
Shipping again! With the new hardware rules, I can ship Ace of Sharks again with a new video and get more than the (previously) fixed rate of 5 stardust/hour! (Thanks, Hack Club staff! ) While I don’t have another tournament before Stardance ends, I have some changes in mind to make version 3.3. So far, I have decreased the thickness of the wheel guards to reduce weight because I was very close to the limit and the wheel guards didn’t really take any damage. They will still be able to protect the wheels from at least one hit, which could still be enough to save a fight. I will also be looking into liquid latex coatings for the foam wheels, which is something other builders mentioned for traction on wood floor arenas.
Ships:
Ace of Sharks is a grappler combat robot in the 1 lb plastic antweight division. A grappler combat robot is designed to grab and then lift opponents into the air, like Claw Viper from the TV show and YouTube channel BattleBots. Haven’t heard of combat robotics before? It’s basically custom RC cars with custom saws fighting each other to the death. A challenging part of designing this version of Ace of Sharks was having an idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like and figuring out how to create that idea. This is the first time I have done that, so getting this version of Ace of Sharks designed and working is something I am proud of accomplishing. Getting to see it do lift opponents at a tournament was definitely a moment I was proud of as well. The demo video is a highlight video from my first tournament, so enjoy watching!
Ace of Sharks 3.2 is a grappler style 1lb plastic antweight combat robot! It uses a compound grab-and-lift motion powered by a single servo to lift opponents into the air and flip them over. Since the last ship, I have added wheel guards and strengthened the weapon assembly because both of those kept falling off in the last event. I also added more traction, or grip, to the wheels by coating them in rubber cement. A challenge was staying under weight with the additions, but using a lighter plastic for some parts got it to work. The demo video is a highlight video from the tournament, so enjoy watching!
Ace of Sharks 3.1-2 is a grappler style combat robot that grabs and lifts other combat robots into the air and flips them over. Ace of Sharks competes in the Plastic Antweight (1lb) division. Ace of Sharks continues to get better and better after each event. Since the last ship, I have tried to fix the weight issue from last event by reducing the thickness of the wheel guards since they did not take much damage. This ship is because of the new stardust bonus for hardware projects shipped with a new video. I have shipped Ace of Sharks before, but this is the first since the announcement that said you can re-ship with a new video to get your stardust topped up if you leave a note for your reviewer. I have edited a new video and poster for this ship. Thanks! :)...

I’m currently building AeroGlass XAI, a web-based command center for jet engine maintenance. While I have a robust backend foundation using the NASA CMAPSS FD004 dataset, my focus for this hackathon is the “Glass Box” transition. I am taking pre-computed BiLSTM predictions and SHAP arrays and wrapping them into a production-ready Streamlit architecture.

I spent this session getting AeroGlass XAI completely ready. I successfully deployed the dashboard to Streamlit Community Cloud and handled some caching optimizations for the heavy SHAP tensors using mmap_mode. The project is officially live!
Migrated AeroGlass XAI to a Dedicated Server (Hack Club Nest) The Nest server uses an aggressive reverse proxy that is currently rate-limiting some of the dynamic JavaScript chunks required to render the heavy Plotly/SHAP visualizations.

In order to make your first wad of cash, you need to plant those seeds in your plot editor and then farm them right up to grab your crops! Then, after you farm your crops, you can sell them at the store for money! Upgrade your tools to get more money per crop! (make sure you have enough money left over to buy a seed as well!) Make sure not to run out of durability!! If you would like to do some butchering, feel free to buy some animals, which will allow you to unlock the butcher option! This will give you the ability to breed animals and sell their meats. Note: If there are numbers next to actions, please enter the numbers and not the words. If it asks a yes or no question, feel free to enter yes, no, y, n, etc.. a range of responses are accepted When it asks if you want to place something down and you have multiple times, please enter one item at a time!

Learning godot because i feel left out. i am using the haven jumpstart material to teach myself the basics, my character can currently: jump, move. I have also made a basic map. I am excited to develop this project further.
Currently there is an animated character sprite and collectable items as well as there being a significant improvement on the map (which has only been made using a single image). Next goal will be adding more places to go to
i had far too much fun making this, so now we have a killbox that restarts the level if you fall which took longer than it should and now i have started to make a new castle location with my amazing design skills
I think the castle looks okay atleast compared to everything else now, i did some more touch ups around the map - nothing major - the main focus was the castle which i think im keeping as is after sitting and trying to think of a design for it. Not sure where to take it next..
We now have a moving skeleton that took too long to make, as well as a key mechanism that takes you to the next level- this annoyed me for a while because it wouldnt work and all i had to do was link the next scene to the door, but it works now.
So much has gone wrong. i spent a long time trying to add in an attack animation and even after using multiple tutorials i couldnt get it to work so i gave up. In other news, i spent about 2 hours composing some music for the first level which is added and working and now i have started to work on the second level.
i have finished up the map for the second level and created music for it. I think im going to leave this project here as im losing interest in it and also becoming busier with other things and dont want to waste time adding useless things for the sake of having more.

But speedMath Training is my first own frontend project with React. The site is quite simple, but it wasn’t super easy for me to build it. I had never used Zustand state management solution, but I learned to use it to make state management easier. Other new thing I learned was publishing a site with github pages. It was kind of complicated, because i have separated folders for frontend (this project) and back end (almost empty).

#2 devlog, day2 Now I have worked on this project for 2hr during Stardance. The new feature works now: it is possible to choose which operators you want to be used (and it actually works!). I also realized that division is more tricky to implement, so that’s why I just deleted it. I’m coding this in typescript, because I wanted to challenge myself, but it takes sometimes so long to figure right types even for simple objects. At least I learned a lot of new things, hehe. Tomorrow -Timer
#3 devlog, day 3 Today I finally made the timer and now this project could be actually called a “game”. It wasn’t easy to code the timer and make it work as it’s supposed. For some reason updating the timer updated the questions (which happened every second), but it was easy to fix when I figured out why it happened.

#4 devlog, day 4 Today’s main progress happened with giving players more options to customize questions. Now it’s possible to choose how many digits they want their questions to have. Next thing to do is add question number chooser. There is only one little (big) problem with digits adjuster logic: numbers with more digits tend to be much more common because of the number generating logic. I hope I can find the solution to fix that soon. As you can see from the picture, I added some color to the website, but just to be able to see different component better. Hopefully the final design will be much more better.
#5 devlog, days 5-7 New updates: choose number of questions number generating fixed Daily challenge page How I fixed number generating How I tried before Math.floor(Math.random()*(Math.pow(10,digits[0]))*Math.pow(10, digits[1]-digits[0])) and Math.floor((Math.random() * 10)*(Math.pow(10, digits[0]-1))*Math.pow(10, Math.ceil(Math.random() * digits[1]-digits[0]))) Where digits[0] is minimum number of digits and digits[1] is maximum number of digits How it works now: A function randomNumber gets number of decimals as paramater and the function is called randomNumber(Math.round(Math.random() * (digits[1]-digits[0])) + digits[0]) Problems this fixes: Generating numbers with less digits that minimum generating different number of digits unequally (more digits was much more common) Next thing to do: UI upgrade
#6 devlog day 7 Today I continued working by starting to design UI. The image shows color palettes I have thought. The upper is for light mode and lower is for dark mode. I still have to figure out contrast things. I thought I’d use the green for buttons with either white or black text, but I barely could see the white text so something has to be done? Maybe other color or shadows for text.
#7 devlog, day 8 Today I finally managed to create a color palette that works with both light and dark mode. This is only beginning of the UI upgrade so more coming later. the most critical things to do next: -move the timer (why is it even there???) -scale content
#8 devlog, day 9 The UI is starting to look good and is much better than few days ago.

#10 devlog It’s (almost) a ready project! I fighted for over an hour to publish it in github pages. But it was worth it because it’s now liveee https://vilp357.github.io/speedMathTraining (pls test). Before shipping I still need to fix some responsive issues and finish readme, but we’re almost there.
#11 devlog The final devlog, I guess. I fixed responsive issues and finished readme and now I’m about to ship this project. (Sorry for short devlog, I just wanted to this 1 hour to be counted.)
Ships:
speedMath Training is a website for training mental math. It’s super simple to use and you can adjust how hard questions do you want. I built this site using React and typescript. I’m aware that similar sites exists already, but none of them was exactly what I wanted so I developed my own. Before this project I had done courses that taught me developing websites with React and those courses included coding simple projects. But speedMath Training is my first own frontend project with React. The site is quite simple, but it wasn’t super easy for me to build it. I had never used Zustand state management solution, but I learned to use it to make state management easier. Other new thing I learned was publishing a site with github pages. It was kind of complicated, because i have separated folders for frontend (this project) and back end (almost empty). But now I get a new site builded and deployed every time i push to the repository. Project README includes more details if someone is interested....
