I decided to start off Stardance by coding a pen-and-paper strategy game that I loved playing as a child: Dots (aka Kropki or Tochki). First, I created a grid layout and implemented the ability to place dots.
Implemented the dot-capturing algorithm. A dot is captured when it is completely surrounded by opponents’ dots. This turned out to be much more complicated than expected.
Significantly increased the precision of the dot-capturing algorithm and added a scoreboard.
Lost against my little sister TWICE
Fully separated the game logic from the Pygame graphical interface. I am now considering making a web version of the game using Django
Implemented the ability to have more than 2 players! This is not part of the classical game rules but I found this variation to be very fun to play. Currently it supports up to 6 players. Implementing this functionality required me to change the way players are handled which made the code clearer.
I got inspired by Sebastian Lague’s series on Chess engines so I decided to create my own engine but for Dots. I implemented the Minimax algorithm with Alpha-beta pruning which is often used in Chess bots. It is worth mentioning that despite it’s simple nature, the computational complexity of a dots engine is WAY higher than that of a chess engine: there are about 10^40 possible positions in chess compared to 10^120 in Dots. Furthermore, there is very little documentation on Dots engines, except for one article from 2002. The image attached is a game between a depth 2 and a depth 4 engine.
Added a few menus to make launching the game more straightforward. Also included a short guide.
Worked on the readme file and polished the game for its first ship!
I’ve been wanting to learn how to use Blender for quite a while which is why I decided to make an icon for Dots using this software. I found it quite complicated a first but quickly learnt the basics of how it works. Choosing the right shades of red and blue took quite a lot of time.

Devlogs:
Implement PyQt6 & added exit button and search box
Implemented Thumbnails and title (with wrapping), thumbnails layout changes with resizing
Implemented basic video playback
Implemented settings with toggle options, haven’t populated it yet but implementing a toggle switch was hard as there isn’t one natively in PyQt6
Implemented (Working) Dark and light mode, not currently persistent but was annoying because I had to make a custom toggle switch.
Made settings persistent and added a toggle to set duration label to time left, making settings persistent was easier than expected as it was just a couple lines of code but getting syntax correctly was annoying.
Added ability to change the playback speed, it was somehow easier than having the icons change colours ( I am still procrastinating it)
Implemented ability to resize thumbnails
Added a Windows executable, was annoying because there is not an easy way to convert python to windows executable on Linux ( PyInstaller converts it to a Linux executable)

This is a long overdue devlog. I spent about five hours with this project without even noticing time going by because I was so excited to make this cool new UI.

Still to do: Fix the constellation (Corvus is wrong and I need to recalculate the star positions) Figure out how to add sidereal time + UTC to the page Fix the top nav bar cause the links are hard to click right now Add more lines to the background so it seems written on
The changes made in this iteration were mostly unnoticable small bugs. For one, the bar at the top was not leaving the page when I scrolled. This was of my own fault for adding a setting that I didn’t want. I changed the constellation to better fit, but it still needs tweaking. The three clocks for important astrophysics times were added. To Do: change clock position to a better place (I take suggestions!) add more to the background improve the star positioning for the constellation
There are minimal changes to the site, but also rather time-consuming ones. The main difference is the background, which required much trial and error. The clock section was also changed and the constellation fixed.
I am starting a new UI in addition to my previous one, as I had a lot of fun with it. Here is currently a preview of it. The rest will take a very long time, but it likely won’t seem like much as it’s mostly just adding movement to the background. Some of the issues I have had include drawing out all the gears in the background and just figuring out a unique UI that both matches with the star chart one and reflects my interest in engineering.

Finished putting the site up. The whole thing’s made to look like an old star chart, mostly because I think they look cool. The constellation on the front is Corvus. There’s also a little clock that runs solar, sidereal, and dynamical time at once, which nobody actually needs except astrophysicists, but it’s cool.
The second version of the site is up. This one has added a new UI (as I had a lot of fun with the last one) that moves as the user scrolls. This UI is based on engineering blueprints, as that is the career I’m hoping to go into in the future. There were a few interesting bugs with page links that I’ve never encountered before, but that was sorted out pretty quickly....

The entire classification system has been reworked to be more memory-efficient and accurate in general, so Extinction should be able to block AI-generated articles much more effectively now. It was quite brain-damaging (to be honest) trying to figure out what changes I could possibly make to improve such a simple algorithm, but I ended up gaining a lot more knowledge about logistic functions (and sigmoids in general) and how useful math can be when making something like this. It was worth it. I also fixed several issues along the way while updating the options page. As I mentioned in my last devlog, there was a signal calibration logic error along with a potential division-by-zero error in calculating the fluency score of a text. Now with those pesky bugs out of the way, I can actually focus on improving the things that really matter for this project, such as keeping it fast and lightweight . Yes, the size of the package is really only around 100 KB (which is pretty lightweight), but some features still feel a little over-complicated. I enjoy looking at my code and feeling proud about all the new things I’ve learned, but, at the end of the day, the whole point of this extension is to tackle the problems most other AI detectors couldn’t: being easy on memory and all that. I do not plan on making Extinction ML-based. That defeats the whole purpose and will most certainly kill this experiment (or rather a proof-of-concept). That said, the main goal of the next ship will most likely be making some optimizations for both the UI and the detection system. As for this ship, most of the changes are related to the new options tab. To be fully transparent, the default values for these fields were NOT selected by a machine/algorithm, since that would probably hit the gray area of “machine learning.” All of the defaults were chosen by me, a real person! Since they are all based on observation rather than extreme experimentation (which I cannot carry out anyway), accuracy may vary depending on what you’re reading. If anyone happens to discover a better combination, feel free to let me know or make a pull request! Anyway, that wraps it up for my second ship. If you’d like to try out Extinction, you can install it officially from the Mozilla Add-ons store (if you’re on Firefox or a Firefox-based browser) OR build it from source using the GitHub repo. Unfortunately, Extinction will not be available on the Chrome Web Store because of the $5 registration fee (that I can’t pay right now). Things aren’t very appealing for Safari users either, since Apple places a $99/year registration fee (which is arguably a total rip-off that I’m not willing to give into at all). For now, Chrome and Safari users can stick to building and installing from source. Good news for Chrome users though: custom extensions don’t seem to be ephemeral or suddenly disappear the moment you exit the app, so once you’ve built it, you’ll be good until the next release. Thank you for checking out Extinction. I hope it’s as useful to you as it is to me! :)", "repo": "https://github.com/v81d/extinction", "demo": "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extinction"}, {"ship_num": 2, "ts": "2026-06-27T19:54:16Z", "hours": 10.0, "multiplier": 15.86, "payout": 126, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "Extinction is an ultra-lightweight AI content blocker browser extension powered by regex-based pattern matching and linguistic analysis. But why block AI? Well, the answer is quite simple. The World Wide Web is becoming increasingly plagued with low-quality AI-generated content. The content AI produces is often misleading or blatantly incorrect. While some may not particularly see this is an issue, many people wish to escape from or completely hide such content. What makes Extinction any different? Traditional AI content detectors rely on machine learning and heavy analysis to product a result. Besides the irony of using such a mechanism, these AI detectors are often less trustworthy when it comes to respecting user privacy. Since the content is fed into an external API, users cannot reliably confirm that the data they send is kept confidential. Extinction, on the other hand, does not send any data to an external endpoint; all analyses are done locally, meaning there is no compromise in user privacy. It does not use machine-learning to classify text, but rather simple pattern matching with regular expressions (regexes) paired with sentence variation analyses. Keep in mind that Extinction is not (and will never be) 100% foolproof, as with all AI detectors in general. There will always be false positives and false negatives, but we will try our best to improve Extinction over time and make it as accurate as possible without sacrificing user privacy or Extinction’s quality of being lightweight. The extension comes with an exclusion list to prevent trusted sites from being flagged.", "repo": "https://github.com/v81d/extinction", "demo": "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extinction"}]...

You can now basically customize every single parameter that Extinction’s underlying system uses. Funny thing, I actually caught two bugs when adding the signal calibrator and lexical diversity / burstiness weight fields. The first bug: the signal calibration math actually didn’t allow for decimal calibrators because it was doing plain exponentiation (meaning negative signals would fail in that step). To fix this, I added a very basic change that would simply preserve the sign of the signal during calibration. That way, negative signals stay negative and positive signals stay positive. The second bug: if both the lexical diversity weight AND the burstiness weight are 0, there would be a division-by-zero error when calculating fluency score (which is the value that represents how natural-sounding the text is). Pretty simple fix. I just added a check using a ternary operation."}, {"post_id": 21139, "ts": "2026-07-02T22:57:42Z", "hours": 2.2169, "text": "Added even more fields to the parameter options! You can now edit the suspicion threshold along with some more sensitive options like the adjustment offset (basically the horizontal shift of the logistic function that is used to normalize the score). Also, while adding this, I realized I forgot to actually enforce the default value for all fields outside of just the options page. (Essentially, if you were to install the extension and never open the parameters tab, all the variables in there would default to null when it actually analyzes web pages.) Made sure to include a fix for that in these changes! I also learned a little more about sigmoid functions in general while trying to come up with a good enough caption for the new field, so that’s a nice bonus. Also had to add a little note at the top of the page because the defaults for these fields were not really chosen based on tested accuracy (they are simply based on my own observations of what seems to produce the most satisfactory results). By the way, I’d like to take some time to acknowledge the amazing feedback I got after my first ship! For Chrome users wanting justice after seeing that this extension is only published on AMO, I should mention that publishing to the Chrome Web Store requires a $5 fee, which I (unfortunately) cannot pay at this time. For now, Chrome/Safari users can stick to following the official build instructions listed in the README. In the future, I’ll also try to optimize Extinction’s detection system since I’m starting to feel like its status of being “lightweight” is slowly slipping away as I add new features.

Devlogs:
Finally reached a working version of Extinction, a lightweight AI content blocker extension that uses regex pattern matching and basic sentence analysis for detection (not LLM-based like almost every other AI detector, so it’s fully local). It’s definitely not foolproof, but it does a sufficiently decent job at detecting AI-generated articles despite its significant limitations. It also comes with a configurable exception list to exclude domains and pages from detections! (This is a project I’ve been working on for several months, but I’ve been making a lot more progress ever since Stardance began!)
Made a decent amount of changes today with Extinction’s classification algorithm and a few UI elements. Detections should be more accurate now with these new changes. (For those who want more detail: I added Type-Token Ratio calculations for determining lexical diversity along with better-tuned weights/constants. Also now using a sigmoid function for score normalization. A decent amount of math involved with this, but I’d say it works a lot better now.)
Added a “Suspicion threshold” option so anyone who uses Extinction can customize the detector’s aggressiveness. I also plan on making many of the other weights configurable as well in the near future!
Added even more fields to the parameter options! You can now edit the suspicion threshold along with some more sensitive options like the adjustment offset (basically the horizontal shift of the logistic function that is used to normalize the score). Also, while adding this, I realized I forgot to actually enforce the default value for all fields outside of just the options page. (Essentially, if you were to install the extension and never open the parameters tab, all the variables in there would default to null when it actually analyzes web pages.) Made sure to include a fix for that in these changes! I also learned a little more about sigmoid functions in general while trying to come up with a good enough caption for the new field, so that’s a nice bonus. Also had to add a little note at the top of the page because the defaults for these fields were not really chosen based on tested accuracy (they are simply based on my own observations of what seems to produce the most satisfactory results). By the way, I’d like to take some time to acknowledge the amazing feedback I got after my first ship! For Chrome users wanting justice after seeing that this extension is only published on AMO, I should mention that publishing to the Chrome Web Store requires a $5 fee, which I (unfortunately) cannot pay at this time. For now, Chrome/Safari users can stick to following the official build instructions listed in the README. In the future, I’ll also try to optimize Extinction’s detection system since I’m starting to feel like its status of being “lightweight” is slowly slipping away as I add new features. Anyway, thank you all for your wonderful comments, and I hope to fulfill as many of your suggestions as I can! :)
Expanded the options page even further! You can now basically customize every single parameter that Extinction’s underlying system uses. Funny thing, I actually caught two bugs when adding the signal calibrator and lexical diversity / burstiness weight fields. The first bug: the signal calibration math actually didn’t allow for decimal calibrators because it was doing plain exponentiation (meaning negative signals would fail in that step). To fix this, I added a very basic change that would simply preserve the sign of the signal during calibration. That way, negative signals stay negative and positive signals stay positive. The second bug: if both the lexical diversity weight AND the burstiness weight are 0, there would be a division-by-zero error when calculating fluency score (which is the value that represents how natural-sounding the text is). Pretty simple fix. I just added a check using a ternary operation.
Ships:
Extinction is an ultra-lightweight AI content blocker browser extension powered by regex-based pattern matching and linguistic analysis. But why block AI? Well, the answer is quite simple. The World Wide Web is becoming increasingly plagued with low-quality AI-generated content. The content AI produces is often misleading or blatantly incorrect. While some may not particularly see this is an issue, many people wish to escape from or completely hide such content. What makes Extinction any different? Traditional AI content detectors rely on machine learning and heavy analysis to product a result. Besides the irony of using such a mechanism, these AI detectors are often less trustworthy when it comes to respecting user privacy. Since the content is fed into an external API, users cannot reliably confirm that the data they send is kept confidential. Extinction, on the other hand, does not send any data to an external endpoint; all analyses are done locally, meaning there is no compromise in user privacy. It does not use machine-learning to classify text, but rather simple pattern matching with regular expressions (regexes) paired with sentence variation analyses. Keep in mind that Extinction is not (and will never be) 100% foolproof, as with all AI detectors in general. There will always be false positives and false negatives, but we will try our best to improve Extinction over time and make it as accurate as possible without sacrificing user privacy or Extinction’s quality of being lightweight. The extension comes with an exclusion list to prevent trusted sites from being flagged.
Extinction is now much more customizable with the newly added “Parameters” tab! The entire classification system has been reworked to be more memory-efficient and accurate in general, so Extinction should be able to block AI-generated articles much more effectively now. It was quite brain-damaging (to be honest) trying to figure out what changes I could possibly make to improve such a simple algorithm, but I ended up gaining a lot more knowledge about logistic functions (and sigmoids in general) and how useful math can be when making something like this. It was worth it. I also fixed several issues along the way while updating the options page. As I mentioned in my last devlog, there was a signal calibration logic error along with a potential division-by-zero error in calculating the fluency score of a text. Now with those pesky bugs out of the way, I can actually focus on improving the things that really matter for this project, such as keeping it fast and lightweight . Yes, the size of the package is really only around 100 KB (which is pretty lightweight), but some features still feel a little over-complicated. I enjoy looking at my code and feeling proud about all the new things I’ve learned, but, at the end of the day, the whole point of this extension is to tackle the problems most other AI detectors couldn’t: being easy on memory and all that. I do not plan on making Extinction ML-based. That defeats the whole purpose and will most certainly kill this experiment (or rather a proof-of-concept). That said, the main goal of the next ship will most likely be making some optimizations for both the UI and the detection system. As for this ship, most of the changes are related to the new options tab. To be fully transparent, the default values for these fields were NOT selected by a machine/algorithm, since that would probably hit the gray area of “machine learning.” All of the defaults were chosen by me, a real person! Since they are all based on observation rather than extreme experimentation (which I cannot carry out anyway), accuracy may vary depending on what you’re reading. If anyone happens to discover a better combination, feel free to let me know or make a pull request! Anyway, that wraps it up for my second ship. If you’d like to try out Extinction, you can install it officially from the Mozilla Add-ons store (if you’re on Firefox or a Firefox-based browser) OR build it from source using the GitHub repo. Unfortunately, Extinction will not be available on the Chrome Web Store because of the $5 registration fee (that I can’t pay right now). Things aren’t very appealing for Safari users either, since Apple places a $99/year registration fee (which is arguably a total rip-off that I’m not willing to give into at all). For now, Chrome and Safari users can stick to building and installing from source. Good news for Chrome users though: custom extensions don’t seem to be ephemeral or suddenly disappear the moment you exit the app, so once you’ve built it, you’ll be good until the next release. Thank you for checking out Extinction. I hope it’s as useful to you as it is to me! :)...

Started working on My Chess Engine! I am still learning how to effectively use Pygame for the board, but I have completed my research on how to build chess engines. I shall soon obtain all of the required skills for building the chessboard, but until then, I can’t wait to learn how to use PyGame! Wanted to learn it for a long time, but never had a reason to.
Been working on my Chess Engine Project. Today, I finished the basic chessboard! It has everything from Promotion to checkmate and even Stalemate. However, my next step (Before I start building the chess engine) will be to add advanced movements, such as Castling and En Passant, and to optimize my code (So that my future chess engine moves at a reasonable speed).
Hi Everyone! I finally finished the whole chess game, adding features such as Castling and En Passant. Next, I have started building a evaluation function, similar to those on chess websites, but wayyy worse. I hope to make it half decent before I move onto the final part of my project, the Search algorithm.
Finished the evaluation function for my Chess Engine project! While this is still barely comparable to Chess evaluation on websites like Chess.com, it is actually working reasonably well now! My next step will be to actually make the engine, though this will definitely be the hardest part of the project.
Finally built the first iteration of my Chess Engine. While still not being quite good at the game (Likely around 700-1000 elo) it is able to play chess reasonably and in fact, was able to checkmate my younger brother (9 years old). Now, I will be continuously improving this Chess Engine until it can beat me comfortably (1600 elo) and then we will see from there. The image below is the final position, with my brother as white, and the engine as black.
Improved the performance of my Chess Project, but now the movement speed of the engine has significantly gotten worse. I will now need to start working on improved efficiency for the engine. However, it does look to be playing at a level similar to mine, if not slightly better. We will see in a bit if it has continued to improve.
I’ve finished my Chess Engine for now! I have made the code more efficient, and the engine was able to beat a Chess.com 1600 bot comfortably, probably putting it on a higher skill level than myself. In the future, I may revisit this project, but for now, I will be working on another project. I also named it DumbFish, as a parody of the famous Chess Engine Stockfish
Made changes to DumbFish to make it easier for testing, as well as fixing a bug related to how the release worked. This will hopefully be my final work on DumbFish for now.
Ships:
Shipped DumbFish! While I may improve the bot further on in the future, I feel quite content where it currently is, and I wish to move onto other projects. Let me know if you have any feedback for me!
Added a few more features to DumbFish, to ensure that it is ready! They are now also part of the newest release, feel free to try them out. Still only Mac exclusive though, but this is a goal for next years stardance challenge. Even Magnus gotta be worried by my progress....

Also, they mentioned that I hashed the credentials badly, where there could be overlaps with separate accounts, which is now fixed as well. If you are unsure how to use PasswordKeeper, have a look at SHIP #1 below and find out! Thank you so much to the person who left that review, it has helped my development heaps! P.S.

There were many challenging parts of it, with the most notable one being how I tried to make my dialog windows appear in the centre of the screen, but ran into some problems due to dpi scaling. I am very proud of what I have achieved as I believe it shows off some of my best skills in a practical and useful app. Note: to get the latest version of PasswordKeeper, you can either download the installer/binary manually from the releases section of the GitHub repo, or you can click the download link in the readme. Then, run the installer/binary, follow the installation prompts (or extract the tarball for Linux) and you’re good to go! To try my project, it would be good to know how it actually works (obviously). When you first run it, you will see a login window like screenshot 1. Because it stores all of your data locally, you don’t have an account yet, so create one! Select the big blue “Create One” button and it will open a new window that looks like screenshot 2. Enter a username and password, and hit “Sign Up”. (The “Remember Username” checkbox is just for ease of access, so you don’t need to type out your username next time you open PasswordKeeper). IT WORKS! Now it’s time to use it: Get started by creating a category (or more) on the left, and then create some passwords for category! If you like, click the account icon in the top right corner and fiddle around with your settings (try out some nice colour themes).", "repo": "https://github.com/zacianculovici/PasswordKeeper", "demo": "https://github.com/zacianculovici/PasswordKeeper/releases/latest"}]...

Fixed security issue with PasswordKeeper! One of my ship reviews mentioned that I didn’t use proper salting in PasswordKeeper, making it slightly easier for hackers to hack it. I have fixed this as well as a couple of other tiny issues, and made v1.1.5 as secure as possible!
Ships:
I made a cool password manager application with python, to store, manage and edit your passwords and pins securely. There were many challenging parts of it, with the most notable one being how I tried to make my dialog windows appear in the centre of the screen, but ran into some problems due to dpi scaling. I am very proud of what I have achieved as I believe it shows off some of my best skills in a practical and useful app. Note: to get the latest version of PasswordKeeper, you can either download the installer/binary manually from the releases section of the GitHub repo, or you can click the download link in the readme. Then, run the installer/binary, follow the installation prompts (or extract the tarball for Linux) and you’re good to go! To try my project, it would be good to know how it actually works (obviously). When you first run it, you will see a login window like screenshot 1. Because it stores all of your data locally, you don’t have an account yet, so create one! Select the big blue “Create One” button and it will open a new window that looks like screenshot 2. Enter a username and password, and hit “Sign Up”. (The “Remember Username” checkbox is just for ease of access, so you don’t need to type out your username next time you open PasswordKeeper). IT WORKS! Now it’s time to use it: Get started by creating a category (or more) on the left, and then create some passwords for category! If you like, click the account icon in the top right corner and fiddle around with your settings (try out some nice colour themes).
SHIP #2! PasswordKeeper 1.1.5 is out! Fixed a few security issues to give you the best secure experience possible! One of my ship reviews mentioned a security issue with improper salting of accounts. I have fixed this and a couple of other small bugs for security. Also, they mentioned that I hashed the credentials badly, where there could be overlaps with separate accounts, which is now fixed as well. If you are unsure how to use PasswordKeeper, have a look at SHIP #1 below and find out! Thank you so much to the person who left that review, it has helped my development heaps! P.S. Just because my README looks nice (with emojis) doesn’t mean that it’s AI. (Take a look at screenshot 2)...

#Devlog 2: completed its CSS file seems okay for now lets see how many bugs now we have to fix 🥀🥀
Devlog 3 : i made its UI and its button works i need to add javascript now the most hard part is now starting and it was really hard to build till now but its almost done yeahhhhhh!!!!!!🔥🔥
Devlog 4: added some new features with some cool gifs and will going to fix API in place of gifs so that it can get new GIFs and new Images everytime we click and it need more polishing and fixing of bugs i am really tired of bugs 😒😒
Devlog 5: Fixed the bug and added all API needed for project and also made it look awesome filled with new feature 🤌✨
Devlog 6 : completed README.md file and finally this project was real fun at last i finished it yeahhhhh ✨✨🔥🔥
Devlog 7 : i have fixed all the bugs and also added a loading screen so that it wont look like the website is freezed and i am going to add more features to it so that it will not be only cat centered but for other things too
Devlog 8 : i was thinking of adding more fun features but i thought i should first add more customizable feature so it will make quality memes instead of quantity memes and i am thinking of adding more but nothing is coming in my mind rn if you have something please tell me in comment section i will be waiting ✨✨✨✨
Devlog 9 : i have added fuctionality in it so every button works and do its work it was a pain in neck though but its finally completed and also i have added emoji fuction where people can also use emoji in their made memes if they want it was pretty tough though but its over and i am thinking of adding other features but for now its pretty awesome 🔥🔥✨✨

Overview: N Gram Model is a fundamental model in Natural Language Processing used to predict next word in a given sequence.

What I have made uptill now: I have made the first module required for this project which is a Tokenizer, a tokenizer takes a text corpus and separately stores each word or token in a lookup table. Future Direction: The core mechanism of N gram models, which is probability estimates for each n word sequence using frequency found in the corpus. Further, I would want to add smoothing to these probability estimates and add model evaluating metrics like perplexity.
Made NGram class that can count occurences of the specified n grams in the corpus. Also, the tokenizer now has another module to map unique tokens to ints for memory efficiency. Now, I shall move onto estimating probabilities of each token given a context window.
Made module for estimating probabilities of words given a context window using MLE (Maximum Likelihood Estimation). Fixed the mapping of tokens back to strings, by using temporary dynamically allocated array and copying it into vector.
Implemented probability estimates of each word using the formula: Counts of gram sequence in corpus/ Counts of context window sequence in corpus Improved the I/O logic a bit aswell, the debug statements are there but commented.
Implemented Laplace Smoothing in the model Smoothing refers to generalization of n gram model to texts they haven’t seen before. Laplace smoothing (also known as add-one smoothing) is the simplest type of smoothing that avoids the probability estimates to reach zero when handling unseen token or sequences. It is quite easy to implement this in code, just add one in the numerator of probability formula and add vocabulary size in the denominator.
Implemented Model Evaluation with Perplexity Perplexity (a metric borrowed from information theory) acts a summarized evaluation metric for your model, that intuitively evaluates how much your model branches off in generating texts. Mathematically, it’s a geometric mean of the inverse probabilities as calculated by the model, normalized by sequence length. For seen texts, my model achieved a perplexity around 20-30, and for unseen texts it varied alot due to random picking of tokens in that case.
Progress Better CLI interface Wrote Readme for shipping. Bug fixes (unigram model input vectors processing without checks, etc).
Final touches Added a bigger corpus i.e. wikitext2 by salesforce AI Research. Credited corpus and linked associated license. Wrote a python script to read the parquet format corpus and turn it into .txt format. Some minor changes in code.
Changes Made the I/O interface more colourful Pushed the binary to repo, and attached it with the release Some bug fixes

I started the project with Vite and React and installed Tailwind CSS to speed up the interface. I structured the application to display a login screen as the app’s entry point. I created the basis of the authentication flow with simple name and email validation. I added local persistence with localStorage to save user data in this prototype.

Since the last update, I moved the project from a simple login prototype into a small routed app with actual navigation flow. I installed React Router, created public and protected routes, and wired the login so it now sends the user to the dashboard after saving their data locally. I also built a first provisional dashboard with a greeting, logout action, and a placeholder projects section.

After that, I polished the styling of both the dashboard and the new project page so the app feels more consistent and usable
Since the last devlog, I focused on the generators layer of the project. I created a utility that turns a project’s data into formatted output files, including README, GitHub description, DevLog, checklist, AI usage statement, and submission text. I also added filename generation for each resource so the exported content is organized and easy to reuse. This gave the app its first real content-generation workflow instead of just storing project information.
This update focused on the project detail flow. I created a dedicated page for each project, updated the routes so users can open a project directly from the dashboard, and added an “Open project” action to the project cards. I also polished the styling of the project page to keep the new flow consistent with the rest of the app. I made a few small improvements to the generators utility too, so it can handle project data more reliably when building formatted files like README, DevLog, checklist, and submission text.

i made the circuit for the motor speed controller its really simple. i also got all the git hub repository set up
i printed the old case and it didn’t work at all so i spent all day redesign the case from scratch and i made a lot of changes while i was doing it size: i made everything a bit bigger because things didn’t fit mainly the place where the fan it no screws: i hade screws before because i thought is is just a good way to hold things together how ever i realized while redesigning they don’t work for this project because they are just to big and heavy so i am instead relying on the elasticity of plastic to hold the cover on the little flaps: in the old design i had these tiny flaps that was spoused to increase stability with rails to let it fold up however i made the rails waaay to small so this time i made the rail 5x bigger along with making the flaps longer to increase surface area rails: last time i designed the legs, before i designed the rails that they will go in to this resulted it really bad rails so this time i made the rails first then designed the legs so that it will be stronger because i can actually make strong rails

Today I finished the first usable version of Asa Chan for Slack. 🎉
Implemented a full migration from JSON-based persistence to SQLite. Added automated daily SQLite backups to improve reliability, data safety, and long-term maintainability.
🚀 New Features 🤖 AI Weather Fusion Transforms raw weather data into personalized, cozy responses.

I found out that the weather report is not accurate outside East Asia. I think this is due to the weather information provider I’m currently using. I’m looking for a better provider. If you know any good alternatives, please let me know!
Added automatic fallback model support! If a model goes down or becomes unavailable, the bot seamlessly switches to a backup model to keep things running.

Added better logging.
I just got an idea. I saw Slack’s Modal feature, and I think using it could make the bot cleaner and more interesting. Here’s the official documentation: https://docs.slack.dev/surfaces/modals/
I redesigned the settings using Slack Modals. Before, you had to use several different commands to configure everything. Now, you can just run /asachan-settings to open the settings page and manage everything in one place. It’s much easier to use now. Next, I’m planning to improve AQI display and weather alerts display, and fix a few small issues that don’t affect functionality but still aren’t quite perfect.
I added /asachan-settings, now you can configure AsaChan through a Slack modal instead of using multiple commands.

First devlog! I’ve been wanting to build something that feels like actual secret agent stuff, and steganography caught my eye, hiding messages inside images that look completely normal. Nobody would ever know. Getting started was harder than I expected. I didn’t know how pixel data actually worked at first, I just knew images were made of pixels. Turns out every pixel has three numbers (R, G, B) and ASCII characters are also just numbers, so you can literally swap one for the other. That clicked for me and I got excited. Built the two core helper functions today: message_to_numbers which converts text to ASCII values, and numbers_to_message which does the reverse. The stop signal (0) idea came from wondering “how does the decoder know when to stop?” you need a flag at the end, like a period at the end of a sentence.
Devlog 2! Ran into my first real problem today, the SimpleImage library I started with wasn’t giving me direct pixel access the way I needed. Switched to Pillow and it made things a lot easier. getpixel() and putpixel() are what I needed. Writing the encoder felt satisfying. You loop through every pixel, overwrite the Red channel with your character’s ASCII value, move to the next pixel, repeat. It sounds almost too simple but it works and the encoded image looks identical to the original. Added a safety check too: if your message is longer than the image has pixels, it’ll tell you instead of crashing silently.
Devlog 3 — the decoder! This one took more thinking than I expected. The decoder has to follow the exact same path as the encoder: same starting corner, same row-by-row order, otherwise it reads the wrong pixels and gets messy. The trickiest part was the stop signal logic. The decoder reads Red values one by one and asks “is this a 0?” at every pixel. If yes, stop and convert everything collected so far back to text. If no, keep going. Sounds simple but getting the edge cases right (what if the image has no message at all? what if it hits the end without finding a stop?) took a few tries. When I finally ran encode → decode end to end and saw my message come back perfectly that was a relief.
Shipping day! Spent the last couple of days on everything around the code, which turned out to be way more work than I expected. Setting up git properly, fixing merge conflicts, getting PyPI to accept the upload, writing a .gitignore, creating a release tag. None of this is hard individually but it’s a lot of steps and each one has its own way of going wrong. Also fixed two real bugs I hadn’t noticed: the tool would crash on non-ASCII characters like emoji, and nothing stopped you from saving the output as a .jpg (which would silently destroy the hidden data since JPEG is lossy). Both are one-liners to fix but they matter. The project is now on PyPI at pip install steganohide, fully open source, with a proper README and release. It actually works and anyone can try it.
Ships:
I built SteganoHide, a CLI tool that hides secret text messages inside PNG images using LSB steganography. The image looks completely normal to the human eye, but the hidden data is stored in the Red channel of each pixel. The most challenging part was the decoder, it has to follow the exact same pixel path as the encoder, and getting the stop signal logic right took a few tries. I’m proud that it’s fully installable via pip install steganohide and works in under a minute. To test it: install it, grab any PNG image, run the tool, hide a message, then decode it back. Windows users may need to run the full .exe path from the Scripts folder if the command isn’t recognized....

The browser gave me two completely different problems, each one hiding behind the last. Problem one: search engines don’t want to be embedded With the real browser wired up, the address bar, back/forward/reload/home and an actual iframe, it looked done. Typing a URL worked but typing a search term did not. Every search just sat there, blank. I got to know why that was very soon from the console: textFraming 'https://html.duckduckgo.com/' violates the following ContentSecurity Policy directive: \"frame-ancestors 'self'\". The request hasbeen blocked. DuckDuckGo sends a header that basically says “don’t let anyone put me inside another page” but that’s not just a DuckDuckGo thing though, it’s standard for basically every search engine because a framed search results page is a classic clickjacking setup. No amount of JavaScript on my end changes an HTTP header the other server is sending. Well, this can’t be considered a bug, it was like a wall and every search engine has the same one. So the fix wasn’t really a fix, it was about rethinking the whole situation. I had to stop trying to show search results inside the embedded view and just open them in a real new tab instead where framing rules don’t apply. Direct URLs still load inside the app like before since plenty of ordinary sites don’t block framing, it’s the search engines specifically. Problem two: it worked but it didn’t feel like it worked Search now actually functioned since New tab pops open with real results every time. And the very next thing I thought of was “it acts like a separate window opener instead of being part of the browser app” and it was a fair thought. What I really wanted was to show search results inside the iframe which loops straight back to problem one. I didn’t have much choice. I pushed back on that hard. Everything else in AuriaOS does what it claims to do. The terminal runs real commands, the calculator does real math and I didn’t want the browser to be the one app quietly faking it. But I eventually decided to keep the new tab. Added a small toast inside the browser window itself. “Opened search in a new tab” that fades in for about two seconds and back out. Doesn’t change where the search happens it just closes the feedback gap. Something visibly happens inside the app the moment you hit Go instead of the window just sitting there while a tab opens somewhere else on screen"}, {"post_id": 69933, "ts": "2026-09-18T02:56:22Z", "hours": 3.8267, "text": "Devlog: Right-clicks, calendars and… a fortune cookie?! Fresh update to AuriaOS. Two new interface features, one new app and a bug that crashed the entire desktop before it got fixed. Right-clicking finally does something! Before this, right-clicking almost anything in AuriaOS just opened the browser’s own menu (“Reload / Inspect”) which ruined the illusion of a real little operating system. Now right-clicking gives you a proper menu where it should: A window’s title bar -> Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Always on Top, Close An app in the taskbar -> Restore/Minimize, Close Empty taskbar space -> Show Desktop, Close All Windows, Settings Empty desktop space -> Personalize, Open a Terminal, Refresh A desktop icon -> Open The genuinely new trick is “Always on Top”. Pin a window and it stays above every other window, no matter what else you click instead of getting buried like normal windows. The clock finally does something! The taskbar clock used to just show the time. Now you can click it and get a small calendar for the current month just like on a real computer. The calendar handles the fiddly stuff automatically. It knows how many days are in each month, accounts for February 29 in leap years and always lines up with Sunday as the start of the week. The faded days at the beginning and end fill out the grid so it doesn’t have awkward gaps. And if you leave the calendar open when midnight hits, it updates itself and moves the highlight to the new day without needing to be closed and reopened. Actually building the Fortune Cookie App It’s basically what it sounds like. A fortune cookie that you click to crack open. It shrinks and fades as if it’s actually being cracked,then a little paper slip slides into view with a fortune and six “lucky numbers” underneath just like a real fortune cookie. The bug that broke everything This was the messy part. It wasn’t really one bug but two bugs back to back both caused by the same basic mistake. Bug one: the crash. To make the calendar auto-update, the clock code runs every second and checks whether the calendar popup is open. The problem was an ordering mistake. That check ran before the calendar popup had actually been set up. Because the error happened near the top of the file, everything after it never got initialized including the taskbar and Start Menu click handlers. From the outside, the whole desktop looked dead. Frozen clock, dead Start Menu and an unresponsive taskbar. Bug two: After fixing the crash, the calendar still wouldn’t open. Turns out I’d written all the code for the popup but forgotten to actually add the popup to the page. Most of the code quietly ignored the missing element but one part wasn’t so forgiving and could throw an error on every click anywhere in the app. Adding the missing element fixed it and I added safety checks around similar code so missing elements can’t cause the same mess again"}, {"post_id": 64213, "ts": "2026-09-08T13:28:36Z", "hours": 2.2125, "text": "Devlog: giving AuriaOS two real apps (and finding out neither of them worked) Calculator and Mood Lamp had been placeholders since day one. A folder icon and a div that said “🧮 Calculator app” and nothing else. A window opened, technically. Nothing else did. For the second submission I finally built them for real. Building them Calculator got a real display and button grid, doing immediate-execution math on purpose: 6 + 3 × 2 = gives 18 not 12 because that’s how an actual physical calculator behaves and a proper order-of-operations parser felt like solving a problem nobody asked for. Divide by zero gives Error like it should. Keyboard input works too but only while the calculator window is actually focused so it can’t hijack typing elsewhere. Mood Lamp got more ambition! Instead of a “click a button, see a color” toy, it’s a global ambient tint over the whole desktop not just its own window. Four presets pulled from the existing accent palette, plus a real color picker and intensity slider for anyone who wants to go off-menu. Wrote the CSS, wrote the JS, wired both in, called it done. It was not done. The buttons that did nothing. Time for the First bug! Mood Lamp’s buttons didn’t work. No errors, no visual change, just silence..which is a specific kind of bug since broken JS usually throws. Silence like that means the code never actually ran. That’s exactly what happened. wireCalculator() and wireMoodLamp() were both fully written and correct and never called from anywhere. openWindow() still had the old dispatch list from before either app existed so every button in both apps existed in the DOM with zero listeners attached. Not a typo, just two lines I never wrote. The command that lied about itself From the previous reviews, I got to know that typing lightmode on in the terminal printed darkmode turned on . The Dark Mode → Light Mode rename happened everywhere except one spot. The shared toggleBooleanSetting() helper used the internal state key (darkmode, which still has to exist since the actual effect is a literal CSS invert) for the confirmation message too. I split those apart so the message reflects what you actually typed not the plumbing underneath it. The mood lamp that had no mood Once the wiring was fixed, buttons visibly responded but the desktop itself looked exactly the same. Sampling the actual rendered pixel before/after at max intensity confirmed it. The shift was small enough to round to nothing. The overlay used mix-blend-mode: soft-light which was picked for subtlety. Except soft-light scales toward zero as the base color approaches black and AuriaOS’s desktop is about as close to black as a color gets (almost). The mode I chose for subtlety was almost mathematically guaranteed to do nothing on this exact theme. I switched it to screen, which always adds light regardless of how dark the base is. Same 30% intensity setting, suddenly an actual visible wash instead of a rounding error. The actual lesson? None of these three were exotic bugs. A missing function call, a copy mismatch, a blend mode never checked against the theme it’d run on. All three shipped unnoticed because each one failed quietly instead of throwing. Worth remembering “it’s not doing anything” isn’t a shrug, it’s a symptom!"}, {"post_id": 21937, "ts": "2026-07-04T04:10:49Z", "hours": 3.1672, "text": "Devlog: Reworking AuriaOS’s Visual Identity I thought AuriaOS was ready to ship. The window manager was working, apps launched, windows could be dragged, resized, minimized and restored. And the logic was solid. Then the project got flagged as AI-generated, well I wouldn’t say AI-generated but maybe traits similar to that of one. It wasn’t because of the code but because of the UI. Looking back, I understood why. The dark navy background, teal accents, frosted glass, soft glows and identical rounded corners looked a lot like the visual style that’s become common in AI-generated interface concepts. Those chosen elements together, they unintentionally resembled that aesthetic. So I decided to redesign the visual system without touching the underlying functionality! Redesigning the UI The HTML and Javascript mostly stayed the same but most of the CSS was reworked. Replaced the glassy navy and teal theme with a warmer ink and brass palette Split the single border radius into multiple sizes so controls, windows and tiles each have their own geometry Removed glow-heavy styling in favor of flat panels, subtle borders and offset shadows Simplified typography by using JetBrains Mono for the interface with Fraunces reserved for the Start menu greeting Replaced decorative gradients with a subtle SVG grain texture Added small details like a window seal, custom text selection and distinct hover treatments across different UI regions Swapped macOS-style traffic-light controls for simpler outlined window buttons My goal was simple, it wasn’t to make the UI less polished, it was to give it a clearer identity. Bugs I Found Along the Way Rewriting and going through every CSS rule also uncovered a few real bugs Broken resize handles Some resize handle selectors accidentally used descendant selectors instead of grouped selectors so several resize directions silently stopped working Invisible desktop Adding overflow: hidden exposed another issue: #desktop never had an explicit height. Because every child was absolutely positioned, the container collapsed to zero height and clipped everything inside it. Restoring width: 100% and height: 100% fixed it immediately A backwards theme toggle The old “Dark Mode” toggle now made the already-dark interface lighter so i renamed the user-facing option to Light Mode while keeping the internal setting unchanged Looking Back Getting the project flagged was frustrating but it pushed me to reconsider the design instead of just accepting my first version. The redesign gave AuriaOS a stronger visual identity and the careful review of the stylesheet ended up revealing several bugs that had gone unnoticed during the rewrite. In the end, the project became better both visually and technically"}, {"post_id": 17634, "ts": "2026-06-28T14:49:11Z", "hours": 2.1547, "text": "Devlog 5 Picked up right where Devlog 4 left off. It was finally time to touch something nobody had looked at since day one, the Terminal. Before any of that though, I had a genuinely interesting detour into why I can’t just load real websites in an iframe . It turns out most sites send headers specifically designed to stop other pages from embedding them. That’s also the real secret behind those slick “browser inside a browser” demos we sometimes see online. They’re either fully staged or quietly running an actual browser on a server somewhere and just streaming a picture of it back to you, good to know. Also good to know I’m not building a server anytime soon. Future Aiden can deal with that one… if he ever does. The Terminal ended up being the most satisfying thing I’ve built so far. Real command parsing, arrow keys cycling through history and commands that genuinely do things instead of just printing text back at you. The command pin calculator actually pins an app. theme #ff6b6b actually repaints the whole OS live. It’s one of those features that finally makes the desktop feel interactive rather than just clickable And then, almost immediately, the most expected yet unexpected bug. I’d spent all that time getting the commands working, the history system behaving and everything feeling right.. only to forget the single line that actually connects the Terminal to its window when it opens. Fully built but completely silent because of one missing function call I closed it out by fixing a bug that’s been sitting in plain sight since the very first day of this project.

I did NOT expect that to become the biggest sprint of the whole project but here we are… Built a proper pin/unpin system. My first version was a bit problematic so I sat with it for a while then rebuilt it the right way with an actual right-click context menu and everything. It felt genuinely satisfying once it finally clicked. Then I somehow convinced myself to add six more features to give the start menu a new life: greeting header, search bar, pinned grid, recent activity, system widgets and a whole user profile footer. Small moments of panic…? Definitely.. then I broke it into phases so I didn’t drown trying to build an entire desktop in one sitting. What nobody tells you about “just redesign the start menu” is how many times you’ll open the same file and stare at the same fifteen lines wondering why they look right and behave wrong. Trial and error ate most of my time which is fair enough. I also gave every icon its own little color badge, wired up a real “/” keyboard shortcut to match the hint I’d put in the search bar then made the whole thing Tab-and-Enter navigable since none of it was there before. Every “small fix” somehow turned into reopening three different files and rechecking things I was already convinced were correct which… more often than not, they weren’t. But that part actually felt rewarding. Little by little, the menu finally started feeling alive. And then, the bugs… I found out my own Start button was secretly broken, well… not heartbroken like me, at least. Clicking it did nothing at all because an old line of code was quietly fighting a newer one inside the same click handler. THAT took way TOO long to spot. The sneakiest ones weren’t even logic bugs.. a single missing dash in a CSS variable. A class name one word off from the real HTML. Completely invisible unless you go hunting line by line, just quietly doing nothing the whole time. The JavaScript is by far the most nerve-wracking, head-splitting experience ever. Absolute horror. I don’t wanna touch that file ever again. My eyes are bloodshot. The amount of time I spent just staring at the code, hunting down errors one by one is honestly concerning.. The menu actually works now, start to finish. Search, pinning, keyboard navigation and all. It cost way more blood than a start menu has any right to. Genuinely proud of this one precisely because of how much it fought back. Terminal’s turn next. And it should be VERY afraid. Note: Snuck localStorage into the project too!

Windows could be dragged anywhere including straight off the edge of the screen with no way to get them back short of refreshing. No resizing at all. No snapping. All the stuff that makes an OS feel like an OS instead of a box you can shove around. So this was the sprint where I tried to fix that and it took way longer than I thought, mostly because of bugs I caused myself. First up was resize handles, eight invisible strips around each window’s edges and corners so you can grab any side and resize from there. First try did nothing. Not an error, just nothing. Turned out my windows have overflow: hidden for the rounded corners and I’d put the handles slightly outside the window’s box so the browser was just clipping them out of existence along with their mouse events. Moved them inside the edge instead and they worked. Then, while retyping some of it by hand, I wrote .querySelectorAll(\".resize-handle\".forEach(...)) instead of .querySelectorAll(\".resize-handle\").forEach(...) . One parenthesis in the wrong spot and I was calling .forEach on a plain string instead of on the actual list of elements. Broke resizing AND window-opening at the same time since the error happened before the window even got added to the page. Bounds clamping was a smaller fix but it’s the one I’m most relieved about. Windows can hang halfway off an edge now but they physically can’t disappear off-screen anymore, there’s always a grabbable strip of titlebar left no matter how far you drag. And then snapping, the one I was most excited for. Drag a window to the left or right edge and a ghost preview shows up where it’ll land, let go and it snaps into half the screen. Drag to the top and it maximizes. I almost skipped the detail where dragging a snapped window away from the edge pops it back to its old size first instead of just dragging the half-screen shape around looking weird but glad I didn’t, that’s the part that actually sells it. Then dragging itself went completely haywire right after snapping started working, windows flying way faster than my mouse was moving, snapping in the wrong spots, clamping not holding. Assumed snapping broke it. It hadn’t. Found a line where I was adding the drag delta twice, once to calculate the clamped position and then again by accident when actually setting it. Double-clicking a titlebar now maximizes/restores too, it felt wrong not having that once snapping existed. Window manager finally feels solid instead of held together with tape.

Up until now everything was just static UI. At first, I was building app content directly inside JavaScript strings… which worked but got messy really fast. The big breakthrough was moving all of that into proper HTML <template> tags instead. Sounds small but it made the code way easier to manage. Don’t have to squint at quotation marks trying to understand layout and styles. Got the window manager fully working! open, close, minimize, maximize, drag around. Each window now gets a taskbar button that reflects its state. Clicking a minimized window restores it, clicking an active one minimizes it. The Start menu can launch apps now and desktop icons work too. You can double-click an icon to open an app which is a small thing but makes it feel a lot more real. Also wired up the Settings panel. Toggles switch between ON/OFF, accent colors update the theme live and dark mode works (kind of a hack using CSS filters but it works). The Apps folder opens in its own window and can launch other apps from inside it. It’s all small features but they’re finally connected. Spent way too long debugging why desktop icons weren’t responding. Turned out to be a typo in a template ID (“windows-template” vs “window-template”) combined with the script running before the DOM loaded. Very classic… huh? Wrapped everything in DOMContentLoaded and double-checked all IDs after that. Most of the apps (Browser, Terminal, Calculator, Mood Lamp, Fortune Cookie) are still just placeholders with static content. But the system around them feels solid now.

I set up a dark theme with variables so I don’t have to keep rewriting stuff later, which feels like it’ll help. Also added a window template system so I can reuse it when I actually start making apps. Right now it’s just sitting there but I think it’ll make things easier later. There’s a settings page UI and an apps folder too but they’re basically just placeholders. Buttons don’t really do anything yet. Overall, it doesn’t look like much for a full day but I guess this is just the setup phase. Still trying to understand how everything should fit together.
Devlog 2 — Things Finally Started Moving Picked this back up today and this was basically the point where I started adding JavaScript and making things actually work. Up until now everything was just static UI. At first, I was building app content directly inside JavaScript strings… which worked but got messy really fast. The big breakthrough was moving all of that into proper HTML <template> tags instead. Sounds small but it made the code way easier to manage. Don’t have to squint at quotation marks trying to understand layout and styles. Got the window manager fully working! open, close, minimize, maximize, drag around. Each window now gets a taskbar button that reflects its state. Clicking a minimized window restores it, clicking an active one minimizes it. The Start menu can launch apps now and desktop icons work too. You can double-click an icon to open an app which is a small thing but makes it feel a lot more real. Also wired up the Settings panel. Toggles switch between ON/OFF, accent colors update the theme live and dark mode works (kind of a hack using CSS filters but it works). The Apps folder opens in its own window and can launch other apps from inside it. It’s all small features but they’re finally connected. Spent way too long debugging why desktop icons weren’t responding. Turned out to be a typo in a template ID (“windows-template” vs “window-template”) combined with the script running before the DOM loaded. Very classic… huh? Wrapped everything in DOMContentLoaded and double-checked all IDs after that. Most of the apps (Browser, Terminal, Calculator, Mood Lamp, Fortune Cookie) are still just placeholders with static content. But the system around them feels solid now. Next step is making at least one of them actually do something interesting.. probably either a fake-command Terminal or a Mood Lamp with real color interaction. Also: the Start button didn’t even have an icon before. Just an empty button sitting there. Fixed that. Small wins matter!
Devlog 3 - Window Manager Upgrade Came back to the window manager because it was bugging me. Windows could be dragged anywhere including straight off the edge of the screen with no way to get them back short of refreshing. No resizing at all. No snapping. All the stuff that makes an OS feel like an OS instead of a box you can shove around. So this was the sprint where I tried to fix that and it took way longer than I thought, mostly because of bugs I caused myself. First up was resize handles, eight invisible strips around each window’s edges and corners so you can grab any side and resize from there. First try did nothing. Not an error, just nothing. Turned out my windows have overflow: hidden for the rounded corners and I’d put the handles slightly outside the window’s box so the browser was just clipping them out of existence along with their mouse events. Moved them inside the edge instead and they worked. Then, while retyping some of it by hand, I wrote .querySelectorAll(".resize-handle".forEach(...)) instead of .querySelectorAll(".resize-handle").forEach(...) . One parenthesis in the wrong spot and I was calling .forEach on a plain string instead of on the actual list of elements. Broke resizing AND window-opening at the same time since the error happened before the window even got added to the page. Bounds clamping was a smaller fix but it’s the one I’m most relieved about. Windows can hang halfway off an edge now but they physically can’t disappear off-screen anymore, there’s always a grabbable strip of titlebar left no matter how far you drag. And then snapping, the one I was most excited for. Drag a window to the left or right edge and a ghost preview shows up where it’ll land, let go and it snaps into half the screen. Drag to the top and it maximizes. I almost skipped the detail where dragging a snapped window away from the edge pops it back to its old size first instead of just dragging the half-screen shape around looking weird but glad I didn’t, that’s the part that actually sells it. Then dragging itself went completely haywire right after snapping started working, windows flying way faster than my mouse was moving, snapping in the wrong spots, clamping not holding. Assumed snapping broke it. It hadn’t. Found a line where I was adding the drag delta twice, once to calculate the clamped position and then again by accident when actually setting it. Double-clicking a titlebar now maximizes/restores too, it felt wrong not having that once snapping existed. Window manager finally feels solid instead of held together with tape. Small wins matter! even the ones that take an embarrassingly long time to find.
Devlog 4 - The Start Menu Ate My Week I js wanted to give the start menu some real attention instead of leaving it as a sad little list forever. I did NOT expect that to become the biggest sprint of the whole project but here we are… Built a proper pin/unpin system. My first version was a bit problematic so I sat with it for a while then rebuilt it the right way with an actual right-click context menu and everything. It felt genuinely satisfying once it finally clicked. Then I somehow convinced myself to add six more features to give the start menu a new life: greeting header, search bar, pinned grid, recent activity, system widgets and a whole user profile footer. Small moments of panic…? Definitely.. then I broke it into phases so I didn’t drown trying to build an entire desktop in one sitting. What nobody tells you about “just redesign the start menu” is how many times you’ll open the same file and stare at the same fifteen lines wondering why they look right and behave wrong. Trial and error ate most of my time which is fair enough. I also gave every icon its own little color badge, wired up a real “/” keyboard shortcut to match the hint I’d put in the search bar then made the whole thing Tab-and-Enter navigable since none of it was there before. Every “small fix” somehow turned into reopening three different files and rechecking things I was already convinced were correct which… more often than not, they weren’t. But that part actually felt rewarding. Little by little, the menu finally started feeling alive. And then, the bugs… I found out my own Start button was secretly broken, well… not heartbroken like me, at least. Clicking it did nothing at all because an old line of code was quietly fighting a newer one inside the same click handler. THAT took way TOO long to spot. The sneakiest ones weren’t even logic bugs.. a single missing dash in a CSS variable. A class name one word off from the real HTML. Completely invisible unless you go hunting line by line, just quietly doing nothing the whole time. The JavaScript is by far the most nerve-wracking, head-splitting experience ever. Absolute horror. I don’t wanna touch that file ever again. My eyes are bloodshot. The amount of time I spent just staring at the code, hunting down errors one by one is honestly concerning.. The menu actually works now, start to finish. Search, pinning, keyboard navigation and all. It cost way more blood than a start menu has any right to. Genuinely proud of this one precisely because of how much it fought back. Terminal’s turn next. And it should be VERY afraid. Note: Snuck localStorage into the project too! Turns out users generally prefer their settings, notes and pinned apps to exist for longer than five seconds. Weird bunch.
Devlog 5 Picked up right where Devlog 4 left off. It was finally time to touch something nobody had looked at since day one, the Terminal. Before any of that though, I had a genuinely interesting detour into why I can’t just load real websites in an iframe . It turns out most sites send headers specifically designed to stop other pages from embedding them. That’s also the real secret behind those slick “browser inside a browser” demos we sometimes see online. They’re either fully staged or quietly running an actual browser on a server somewhere and just streaming a picture of it back to you, good to know. Also good to know I’m not building a server anytime soon. Future Aiden can deal with that one… if he ever does. The Terminal ended up being the most satisfying thing I’ve built so far. Real command parsing, arrow keys cycling through history and commands that genuinely do things instead of just printing text back at you. The command pin calculator actually pins an app. theme #ff6b6b actually repaints the whole OS live. It’s one of those features that finally makes the desktop feel interactive rather than just clickable And then, almost immediately, the most expected yet unexpected bug. I’d spent all that time getting the commands working, the history system behaving and everything feeling right.. only to forget the single line that actually connects the Terminal to its window when it opens. Fully built but completely silent because of one missing function call I closed it out by fixing a bug that’s been sitting in plain sight since the very first day of this project. Maximizing a window always left a thin strip of empty space hovering just above the taskbar because the math was quietly subtracting the taskbar’s height twice instead of once Hopefully my last devlog before shipping… ..for now sigh…
Devlog: Reworking AuriaOS’s Visual Identity I thought AuriaOS was ready to ship. The window manager was working, apps launched, windows could be dragged, resized, minimized and restored. And the logic was solid. Then the project got flagged as AI-generated, well I wouldn’t say AI-generated but maybe traits similar to that of one. It wasn’t because of the code but because of the UI. Looking back, I understood why. The dark navy background, teal accents, frosted glass, soft glows and identical rounded corners looked a lot like the visual style that’s become common in AI-generated interface concepts. Those chosen elements together, they unintentionally resembled that aesthetic. So I decided to redesign the visual system without touching the underlying functionality! Redesigning the UI The HTML and Javascript mostly stayed the same but most of the CSS was reworked. Replaced the glassy navy and teal theme with a warmer ink and brass palette Split the single border radius into multiple sizes so controls, windows and tiles each have their own geometry Removed glow-heavy styling in favor of flat panels, subtle borders and offset shadows Simplified typography by using JetBrains Mono for the interface with Fraunces reserved for the Start menu greeting Replaced decorative gradients with a subtle SVG grain texture Added small details like a window seal, custom text selection and distinct hover treatments across different UI regions Swapped macOS-style traffic-light controls for simpler outlined window buttons My goal was simple, it wasn’t to make the UI less polished, it was to give it a clearer identity. Bugs I Found Along the Way Rewriting and going through every CSS rule also uncovered a few real bugs Broken resize handles Some resize handle selectors accidentally used descendant selectors instead of grouped selectors so several resize directions silently stopped working Invisible desktop Adding overflow: hidden exposed another issue: #desktop never had an explicit height. Because every child was absolutely positioned, the container collapsed to zero height and clipped everything inside it. Restoring width: 100% and height: 100% fixed it immediately A backwards theme toggle The old “Dark Mode” toggle now made the already-dark interface lighter so i renamed the user-facing option to Light Mode while keeping the internal setting unchanged Looking Back Getting the project flagged was frustrating but it pushed me to reconsider the design instead of just accepting my first version. The redesign gave AuriaOS a stronger visual identity and the careful review of the stylesheet ended up revealing several bugs that had gone unnoticed during the rewrite. In the end, the project became better both visually and technically
Devlog: giving AuriaOS two real apps (and finding out neither of them worked) Calculator and Mood Lamp had been placeholders since day one. A folder icon and a div that said “🧮 Calculator app” and nothing else. A window opened, technically. Nothing else did. For the second submission I finally built them for real. Building them Calculator got a real display and button grid, doing immediate-execution math on purpose: 6 + 3 × 2 = gives 18 not 12 because that’s how an actual physical calculator behaves and a proper order-of-operations parser felt like solving a problem nobody asked for. Divide by zero gives Error like it should. Keyboard input works too but only while the calculator window is actually focused so it can’t hijack typing elsewhere. Mood Lamp got more ambition! Instead of a “click a button, see a color” toy, it’s a global ambient tint over the whole desktop not just its own window. Four presets pulled from the existing accent palette, plus a real color picker and intensity slider for anyone who wants to go off-menu. Wrote the CSS, wrote the JS, wired both in, called it done. It was not done. The buttons that did nothing. Time for the First bug! Mood Lamp’s buttons didn’t work. No errors, no visual change, just silence..which is a specific kind of bug since broken JS usually throws. Silence like that means the code never actually ran. That’s exactly what happened. wireCalculator() and wireMoodLamp() were both fully written and correct and never called from anywhere. openWindow() still had the old dispatch list from before either app existed so every button in both apps existed in the DOM with zero listeners attached. Not a typo, just two lines I never wrote. The command that lied about itself From the previous reviews, I got to know that typing lightmode on in the terminal printed darkmode turned on . The Dark Mode → Light Mode rename happened everywhere except one spot. The shared toggleBooleanSetting() helper used the internal state key (darkmode, which still has to exist since the actual effect is a literal CSS invert) for the confirmation message too. I split those apart so the message reflects what you actually typed not the plumbing underneath it. The mood lamp that had no mood Once the wiring was fixed, buttons visibly responded but the desktop itself looked exactly the same. Sampling the actual rendered pixel before/after at max intensity confirmed it. The shift was small enough to round to nothing. The overlay used mix-blend-mode: soft-light which was picked for subtlety. Except soft-light scales toward zero as the base color approaches black and AuriaOS’s desktop is about as close to black as a color gets (almost). The mode I chose for subtlety was almost mathematically guaranteed to do nothing on this exact theme. I switched it to screen, which always adds light regardless of how dark the base is. Same 30% intensity setting, suddenly an actual visible wash instead of a rounding error. The actual lesson? None of these three were exotic bugs. A missing function call, a copy mismatch, a blend mode never checked against the theme it’d run on. All three shipped unnoticed because each one failed quietly instead of throwing. Worth remembering “it’s not doing anything” isn’t a shrug, it’s a symptom!
Devlog: Right-clicks, calendars and… a fortune cookie?! Fresh update to AuriaOS. Two new interface features, one new app and a bug that crashed the entire desktop before it got fixed. Right-clicking finally does something! Before this, right-clicking almost anything in AuriaOS just opened the browser’s own menu (“Reload / Inspect”) which ruined the illusion of a real little operating system. Now right-clicking gives you a proper menu where it should: A window’s title bar -> Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Always on Top, Close An app in the taskbar -> Restore/Minimize, Close Empty taskbar space -> Show Desktop, Close All Windows, Settings Empty desktop space -> Personalize, Open a Terminal, Refresh A desktop icon -> Open The genuinely new trick is “Always on Top”. Pin a window and it stays above every other window, no matter what else you click instead of getting buried like normal windows. The clock finally does something! The taskbar clock used to just show the time. Now you can click it and get a small calendar for the current month just like on a real computer. The calendar handles the fiddly stuff automatically. It knows how many days are in each month, accounts for February 29 in leap years and always lines up with Sunday as the start of the week. The faded days at the beginning and end fill out the grid so it doesn’t have awkward gaps. And if you leave the calendar open when midnight hits, it updates itself and moves the highlight to the new day without needing to be closed and reopened. Actually building the Fortune Cookie App It’s basically what it sounds like. A fortune cookie that you click to crack open. It shrinks and fades as if it’s actually being cracked,then a little paper slip slides into view with a fortune and six “lucky numbers” underneath just like a real fortune cookie. The bug that broke everything This was the messy part. It wasn’t really one bug but two bugs back to back both caused by the same basic mistake. Bug one: the crash. To make the calendar auto-update, the clock code runs every second and checks whether the calendar popup is open. The problem was an ordering mistake. That check ran before the calendar popup had actually been set up. Because the error happened near the top of the file, everything after it never got initialized including the taskbar and Start Menu click handlers. From the outside, the whole desktop looked dead. Frozen clock, dead Start Menu and an unresponsive taskbar. Bug two: After fixing the crash, the calendar still wouldn’t open. Turns out I’d written all the code for the popup but forgotten to actually add the popup to the page. Most of the code quietly ignored the missing element but one part wasn’t so forgiving and could throw an error on every click anywhere in the app. Adding the missing element fixed it and I added safety checks around similar code so missing elements can’t cause the same mess again
Devlog: building the browser interface Every other app in AuriaOS gave me something real and had bugs that behaved normally. The browser gave me two completely different problems, each one hiding behind the last. Problem one: search engines don’t want to be embedded With the real browser wired up, the address bar, back/forward/reload/home and an actual iframe, it looked done. Typing a URL worked but typing a search term did not. Every search just sat there, blank. I got to know why that was very soon from the console: textFraming 'https://html.duckduckgo.com/' violates the following ContentSecurity Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self'". The request hasbeen blocked. DuckDuckGo sends a header that basically says “don’t let anyone put me inside another page” but that’s not just a DuckDuckGo thing though, it’s standard for basically every search engine because a framed search results page is a classic clickjacking setup. No amount of JavaScript on my end changes an HTTP header the other server is sending. Well, this can’t be considered a bug, it was like a wall and every search engine has the same one. So the fix wasn’t really a fix, it was about rethinking the whole situation. I had to stop trying to show search results inside the embedded view and just open them in a real new tab instead where framing rules don’t apply. Direct URLs still load inside the app like before since plenty of ordinary sites don’t block framing, it’s the search engines specifically. Problem two: it worked but it didn’t feel like it worked Search now actually functioned since New tab pops open with real results every time. And the very next thing I thought of was “it acts like a separate window opener instead of being part of the browser app” and it was a fair thought. What I really wanted was to show search results inside the iframe which loops straight back to problem one. I didn’t have much choice. I pushed back on that hard. Everything else in AuriaOS does what it claims to do. The terminal runs real commands, the calculator does real math and I didn’t want the browser to be the one app quietly faking it. But I eventually decided to keep the new tab. Added a small toast inside the browser window itself. “Opened search in a new tab” that fades in for about two seconds and back out. Doesn’t change where the search happens it just closes the feedback gap. Something visibly happens inside the app the moment you hit Go instead of the window just sitting there while a tab opens somewhere else on screen
Ships:
AuriaOS is a browser-based web OS built entirely with vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It includes a full window manager (drag, resize, edge snapping, maximize), a Start Menu with live search, pinning, recent apps and keyboard navigation, plus a Terminal where commands like theme, pin, darkmode and shutdown actually control the OS. Settings, notes, pinned apps and recent activity all persist through localStorage. The hardest part wasn’t writing new features. It was debugging them. The JavaScript logic itself was just as challenging. I spent a lot of time debugging, reworking functions and figuring out why seemingly correct code behaved unexpectedly. I got stuck plenty of times but I decided to stick with it until everything finally clicked. Keeping the project’s scope under control was another challenge so I broke large features into smaller phases instead of trying to build an entire desktop at once. I’m proud that AuriaOS feels like one coherent system instead of separate features glued together. The Start Menu, Settings and Terminal all share the same underlying state so changing something in one place updates the rest of the desktop automatically. I’m also proud that the Terminal is genuinely functional rather than decorative. The window manager, Start Menu, Settings, Notepad and Terminal are fully functional. Browser, Calculator, Mood Lamp and Fortune Cookie are still placeholder apps. Things worth trying: Drag a window to a screen edge to snap it Open the Start Menu and use “/” to search or navigate entirely with the keyboard Right-click an app to pin or unpin it Open Terminal and run help then try pin calculator or theme #4ecdc4 Refresh the page to verify that settings, notes and pinned apps persist
AuriaOS is a browser-based desktop environment built entirely with vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It features a complete window manager with dragging, resizing, edge snapping, maximizing and minimizing alongside a Start Menu with live search, pinning, recent apps and full keyboard navigation. It also includes a functional Terminal where commands like theme, pin, darkmode and shutdown interact with the operating system itself. Settings, notes, pinned apps and recent activity are all persisted using localStorage. The biggest challenge wasn’t adding features. It was making them work together reliably. I spent a lot of time debugging Javascript, tracing unexpected behaviour and reworking functions until interactions felt consistent across the entire desktop. I also kept the scope manageable by building the OS incrementally. I treated each subsystem as its own milestone instead of trying to create everything at once. One of the parts I’m happiest with is that AuriaOS behaves like a single, connected system rather than a collection of isolated apps. The Start Menu, Settings and Terminal all share the same state so changes made in one place are reflected everywhere else. The terminal is fully functional too! It isn’t just a visual prop. Current apps -> Fully functional (Mentioned below) Window Manager, Start Menu, Settings, Notepad, Terminal Placeholder apps Browser, Calculator, Mood Lamp, Fortune Cookie
This ship finishes off every placeholder app and adds two real interface upgrades. Calculator does immediate-execution arithmetic with full keyboard support. Mood Lamp applies a real ambient color wash across the whole desktop and not just its own window (fortunately). Fortune Cookie cracks open into an actual paper slip with a fortune and six lucky numbers. The Browser now has a working address bar with back/forward/reload and typed URLs load inline. Searches open in a new tab since search engines block being framed no matter what you do. Right-click also does something everywhere now including titlebars, taskbar and desktop and also including a new “Always on Top” pin. And the taskbar clock isn’t static anymore! Click it for a small calendar with today marked and leap years are handled correctly without any special-case code. Current apps → Fully functional: Settings, Notepad, Terminal, Calculator, Mood Lamp, Browser, Fortune Cookie Placeholder apps → None remaining!...

I added a function to my website where I can recieve json from a discord bot that can update my gallery and add cards to it ! Its now easier to add cards to my gallery easier than ever!
I am loggin my hours for today! I added a feature that moves the nav link up !
Devlog #4 I added some features that people in my last ship said I should do and some that I wanted to do. Additions Added navbar across all pages I made the gallery and guide images on the cards actually fill their container instead of the old one cropped I also changed the join community link to the discord because that is where everyone is I also added a styles.css for each page because one styles.css was very hard to navigate and was tangled a lot Challenges I faced It was hard to code the css all over again and I had major setbacks, the things that were hard were the sizing and the layout if you touch one thing another thing moves so PHEW I finished that. Future Plans Fixing up the events page and integrating my discord bot to add and remove events there also to ping everyone! Add more things to the home page Add more starter guides because that is a huge hassle I also wanna add a faq because some questions are already answered A members page Contact Page Some more I hope!
I reworked the whole entire website Features I added were the ui I made it look better I also added the current programs we are running and thats it

We made our own website for our Hackclub Chapter . The parts that were challenging were the merge conflicts and the commits. Another thing that was challenging was integrating our discord bot into the gallery because it was my first time using a discord bot and other 3rd party libraries in python so I actually learned alot. If you want to try the project you have to join the discord server and go the gallery text channel and type in /add-gallery and type in your paramenters and then it will add it to the gallery section in our website!
I made a club website where my club members can find resources and learn about our website. A cool feature that I added is that my discord bot is integrated into my website. I can add things to the gallery and to the guides via our discord server. I am really proud of that!...

Note Picker First version of the note picker, it will need a re-do to prevent overlapping notes and to support sharps and flats. I also wrote a system that converts into an internal representation from which it’s easy to get the names of the notes and hopefully to locate them on the guitar fretboard.

Fretboard shows Notes The notes you pick in the staff show up on a guitar fretboard! One thing I learned from this project so far, it is to always make dumb React components: Don’t manage the component’s state internally when it can make sense wanting to access it from the parent component in the future. In my case: The fretboard is a “smart” component and when passed a note it knows and shows all the possible locations to play it - this works for now, but it’s hardly extendable: For a feature I’m planning, the parent component needs to control precisely where to show the dots - which as of now is impossible, because the fretboard only works with notes + it will show all possible locations, not precisely the ones I want to show. To fix this, I will expose a prop that controls not what notes to show, but what frets and strings dots should appear on.
Colored Notes and Architecture I fixed the architectual issues i wrote about in my previous devlog using a dedicated class for visualization. It uses the builder pattern and should be extendable so that new visualizations on the fretboard can easily be added. Moreover I gave each note its own color, numbered the frets and added little circle markers in the same pattern they appear on a guitar.
More Notes and Open Strings Besides updating the layout I “added new notes”. Of course you can have as many as you want, but I wanted to make sure lines outside of the staff become muted, so everything is easier to see. More importantly, open strings are now visualized on the fretboard - previously only notes where guitar players had to press down showed up. The architecture I talked about in previous devlogs worked wonderfully :)
Tuanble Strings & Expandable Fretboard with Dynamic Staff Sizing Users can now set how individual strings are tuned on the fretboard, as changing the tuning is required for some pieces on the guitar. Additionally, players can now choose how many frets they are comfortable using - the staff resizes (more/less staff lines) so that the entire fretboard can be utilised without cluttering the screen with notes you cannot play at the selected fret count.
Project Demo, small Fixes & Deployment In order to be ready to ship, I created a demo video using OpenScreen showing how to use the app, I also did some fixes here and there and finally deployed the app to GitHub Pages.

Their project really helped me fix my signal connecting issues cause I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. So, thank you latyrn for your amazing project (Starry Scramble) – Go check it out it’s really cool and well made!

(Inspired by @Gabl ’s Goose Games - Go check it out!) What else is new Created lose screen with retry button Lives and minigames done resets when button is clicked Created win screen with play again+menu buttons Background hasn’t been drawn yet The sprite now changes directions when you move left/right Bug fixes Extra info I decided to keep the title screen image, but I might change the title design. I did have some ideas because I was way too overambitious, but I’m happy with how the game turned out! I hope you do too. I’ll make one last devlog before shipping after I write my Readme and draw the winner’s screen Thank you for all the support so far. Until next time!
Star-Catcher — It’s finally here!! “Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission Last Devlog Star-Catcher is done! It feels a bit bittersweet, but I’m glad that I’m finished with this project. Thank you for everyone who supported thus far!! What’s new Finally drew the win screen background Updated the readme Set up the itch.io page Extra info Once again, I just want to thank everyone who liked or commented on my posts! If you see this, go ahead and check it out on my ship post. Until next time!
Star-Catcher “Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission Background info It’s back!!! When I saw the continuation to the WarioWare mission, I decided to do it! I haven’t been able to add a lot cause I’ve been busy these days. What’s new Sound effects! I added a lot of sound effects to make the gameplay feel more interactive/immersive Button clicks, star shines, etc. Added music So far only the settings and level scene have music I’ve been trying to find music for the levels and start screen but have been unsuccessful so far😞 I might create some custom music for it Updated settings added volume sliders Created a base for the 4th minigames The idea is that you catch the stars that fall from the sky while avoiding meteors. You lose the minigame if you touch the meteor To-do Finish 4th minigame Update character sprite Add music to minigames That’s it for now. Until next time!
Star-Catcher “Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission Background info Sooooo yea it’s been a while lmao. Genuinely I’ve been working on the 4th mini game for the longest cause I could figure out how to connect signals properly😭. But, we’re past that now! (thankfully) What’s new SO most of my effort has been put into making the 4th level so not much has been added Created and finished the 4th minigame Collect 8 stars in under 20 seconds, dodge the meteors (meteor icon hasn’t been drawn yet 💔) Minor bug fixes Appreciation section As I was making this minigame I saw that @lantyrn created a minigame similar to this! Their project really helped me fix my signal connecting issues cause I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. So, thank you latyrn for your amazing project (Starry Scramble) – Go check it out it’s really cool and well made! To-do Draw icons for meteor and new star icons Also finish making sprite animation while I’m at it Figure out how to fade out music using tweens Draw some more backgrounds Make the game more enjoyable to play! If you have any suggestions, let me know. That’s it for now. Until next time!
Star-Catcher - Last Devlog “Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission Background info It’s been a looong time since the last devlog. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this project for awhile now, but I’ve decided to ship this project. What’s new Made the meteor icon for 4th minigame Animations!!!! Meteor animation New sprite walking animation! Minor bug fixes Extra info Thanks for everyone who enjoyed my devlogs and this project, It was really nice seeing you guys enjoy it! I wish I could’ve added more to this game, but I’m happy with how it ended up. Maybe one day I’ll return to this game. Thank you for reading. Until next time!
Ships:

done with the bare logic and display just need to make them look good
now it supports scaling the X and Y so even is simulation gets big it still fits ur screen , and u can run one or more projectiles after each other with a working scale
fixed some bugs and tryed to make it responsive but gave up

Title: Lucky OS! by @Makkonen | Stardance
Devlogs Title: Lucky OS! by @Makkonen | Stardance
Devlogs:
I worked on making the Link system work and added a link to YT and a Finnish waterpark, and i also made some text purple.
I added an draggable window so you can have everything where you want them.I also added an purple background to the os so it looks calmer,like an wallpaper
I added an bar where you can type anything and it google searches it so now you can browse the web(yay)
i started making the OS from scratch so it would be better in the future(the new one is still in its early stages right now)
i added fun liitle messages to the top bar and added an picture of my dog sleeping upside down(fun thing is he is by my side while im writing this) but this hour was mostly just debugging and stuff. The main problems are that there is a giant white baron the bottom for some reason and my window doesnt have an background so my dogs nose camoflauges the text but there is an easy fix to that (hopefully)
I remowed the white block that was blocking the screen,also added an clock to the top left(it will look better in the future), added an draggable window that you can drag with the picture of my dawg(im thinking about changing it for an different picture of him) made the task bar or what i made it “reminder and activity bar” actually work and not be gliched out all the time.
I added texts and different pictures to the buttons and added an close button (that is an picture of my dog), i also reworked the task bar and now you have an “open welcome screen” button that when you press, you guessed it: opens up the welcome screen.
I made an app called “Lucky gallery” where you can take an look at different pictures of Lucky, i also fixed some bugs where the apps werent draggable and where the clock didnt work.
I ADDED TWO NEW APPS!!! Hurray now the OS has some content in it, i added an info page about myself and then an games folder where you can try my other projects. I also updated the Lucky Gallery (for those that dont know Lucky is my dogs name) And also did some MAJOUR bug fixing because i miiight have broken the OS an time or two…..(I broke it twice) BUT NOW ITS FIXED! And that is a good thing because failure makes you better.
Hmm so i figured out im an complete IDIOT because when i shipped the project i accidentally put the github links to be the old super bad site and not the good site i have now so im writing this only that i can ship it NOW WITH THE CORRECT VERSION
I reworked the dragging and closing systems so now it looks alot more like windows. I also fixed alot of bugs that came along with the rework.
I added an new “Notepad” App where you can write anything and then press save and then it saves it to localstorage and even if you refresh the site, it stays! But the thing is, its not really… Nice looking? I mean yeah it gets the job done but its just plain white so im thinking about styling it an bit. Also an thing that irritates me is that the app names are tweaking out but it should be an easy fix in the next devlog.
I fixed both things that i didnt like! First i made the app names to behave by adding them to their individual divs (I think i had deleted them accidentally or something but it works now) And then i styled the notepad abit, i added an saved and not saved text in css and made it work in javascript. Im thinking of either adding smooth animations to the OS or adding an paint app that saves your masterpieses to your PC…
I added an “Lucky Paint” where you can paint masterpieces in various colours and clear the canvas if you dont like it, and THEN (drum roll) YOU CAN SAVE THEM IN PNGS! I know i know its cool (in my opinion the coolest app in the whole OS) But more cool things await in the future. And also i made it so the clock and date are in the taskbar and not in the middle of the screen.
I added an little hover animation to the desktop icons so the OS feels more responsive! And the biggest upgrade is that there now is an minimize button on all of the windows so the OS is more OSy. And alongside of the minimize button i added so now the windows on the bottom go on top of the other windows when interacted with! I put little arrows where all the interesting stuff happens.
I fixed an bug where the windows could go outside of the desktop. Added an calendar WIDGET(Not an app) with an ! easter egg in it bc may is my (devs) birthday, you can disable the calendar in the settings app. Probably the biggest feature i added is the minimize function, you click the “-” next to the X button and then the window gets minimized and appears in the taskboard.(So cool:O) Then i also made the window design an bit different and now it is like kinda seethrough and blurry (i still kept the purple theme bc it makes this OS unique) And i was inspired by macOS for this style bc i think it looks nice. I also added animations for the wallpaper changing and added MOVING WALLPAPERS(kinda) i made an animation for the wallpapers so they would move slowly left to right and right to left and it makes the os feel nice.
First of all, i added an new theme and got rid of the purple theme bc it was pretty bad, and in the progress confused all of my code so when you run the webOS it is completely normal but when you look at my code, glass means space, purple means glass and forest and Lucky are normal. But now it works and that is good enough for me. I might fix it before shipping though. OH and the new theme is an space theme with green and blue colors, not an image but colors (bc purple was just an color). Also i did an MASSIVE update to Lucky gallery and now theres like 8 more pictures(and some of them are not lucky) I also added in a little secret when you press one of the themes… I also added an small live wallpaper function to the Lucky theme so now everything is alive and well!

So thats that i guess and also (bc i love local storage) i made it so now the chosen style saves into local storage and not default it to Lucky. Then i fixed an little bug where the notes app wouldnt scale correctly. But to make everything work i had to remove the secret :(
I added not one but TWO new apps, first one is an simple calculator, and the other one is an user settings, in user settings you right now can put your username and your birthdate! The cool thing about this is that it higlights your birthday in the calendar! (not my actual birthday, just for show) So that is pretty nice. AND ALSO IT SAVES INTO LOCALSTORAGE BC LOCCALSTORAGE IS THE BEST!!!
I added an terminal(so cool) and made the OS an little better by making the taskbar say: hello(your username) So i think this might be my last devlog because the WebOS is starting to be done, but if there needs to be fixes ill do them
Ships:
I made an webOS that hasmultiple windows that are draggable, the os has has an google search bar so you can browse the web, two links ( one for YT and one for an Finnish waterpark) you can move the windows and the OS greets the user, the OS has purple text and an picture of an duck. The OS has an purple background that acts like an wallpaper. Im really proud of this because it is my first HTML coding experience.
This part is from the README cuz im lazy:I made an web OS that is themed about my dog Lucky, it has 4 working apps. 1 Welcome screen that has an picture of an duck and text. 2 Lucky gallery, that has pictures of Lucky and text about what is happening. 3 info, the app has info about me and an picture of lucky (of course). 4 games, the games app has links that directs the user to try my other projects. The OS has an purple theme and it also has an task bar that has reminders for the user. All of the windows are draggable,closeable and openable. I USED AI TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE CODE BECAUSE THIS WAS MY FIRST CODING PROJECT!!! I DIDNT USE AI TO CODE THE PROJECT! I mostly used the guide for the webOS but i made it my own with features not in the guide. I am proud of myself for being able to make this web OS while learning how to code.
In the last ship i accidentally put the wrong github links but now they are right and now THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION! This part is from the README cuz im lazy:I made an web OS that is themed about my dog Lucky, it has 4 working apps. 1 Welcome screen that has an picture of an duck and text. 2 Lucky gallery, that has pictures of Lucky and text about what is happening. 3 info, the app has info about me and an picture of lucky (of course). 4 games, the games app has links that directs the user to try my other projects.

I also made it so the windows are scrollable and that there is an top bar where you can drag or close the window
I made an webOS that is focused on my dog, Lucky. It has loads of features like changing themes, live wallpapers, apps like:Lucky gallery, web browser, Information, Games, notepad, paint, calculator, User settings, normal settings, terminal and the welcome screen. It also has smaller features like: an clock, an welcome message for the listed username, calendar, almost everything saving to localstorage and smooth hover animations. I am proud of how good this project turned out and how nice it feels to use it. Making this project was very hard but also very fun....

As part of the organising committee, I took the opportunity to create a nice website for both participants and facilitators to access information like the days schedule, certain activity materials, photos taken during the event, event teasers/storyline videos etc… When designing the website, I aimed it to be user centric by follow conventional navigation and UX. Additionally, I came up with a palette and then started creating the different pages of the website trying to make everything feel fresh and aesthetically pleasing. Some elements following this philosophy: animated timeline graphic instead of a google sheet, todo list or calendar component depth effect with animations in the landing page ability to search cheers for participants during the event animated hero for theme page embeds instead of plain links to the external resources glowing effect behind images some challenges I faced was ensuring the website was responsive on practically any screen size. I specially made a vertical poster for the landing page just for mobile and different layouts for mobile and larger screens. Additionally, another challenge was slow loading speeds for images, that would ruin the landing page especially when I first started out, luckily the fix was quite straightforward. I converted all the images to avif format and set it to a lower quality on low res screen as there wont be a big visible difference, reserving a max res of 2k for larger screens like 1440p. All in all, I would say this is one of the projects in which i had the most fun building, I got to learn even more about responsive web design, UX, performance optimisation and even got to experience how it’s like to program a website with tight deadlines and an actual production target. Even though theres only 14 hours logged on stardance, I have spent around 40-50 hours painstakingly coding most of this website by myself, AI was mostly sparingly only for debugging and refactoring some parts of the code or generating boilerplate.

https://y-lead-2026.vercel.app/ I’ve been working on a website for a local school event. Written in TSX using the Next JS framework. This devlog includes only the bug and UI inconsistency fixes for the theme and about pages.
https://y-lead-2026.vercel.app/ page for organising committee credits and acknowledgements. Can now be accessed via a button that redirected to /about/organising-committee. /about may be used for other stuff like this as well like certain event details and etc… Current at /about/organising-committee there ar pictures of each comm and they’re heads and members, the images are all have been converted into avif for faster loading times
Bug fixes extra features and even more content and redirects for participants to use: fixed padding inconsistencies on mobile changed content and info about panelists to be more accurate changed formatting of bios added in more info on locations of learning journeys added in a better text hiearchy for the blocks of text added glowing images for most uses
final devlog: added a resources page where all the videos, worksheets and documents can be accessed from. items are all embeds instead of plain lists of links to boost interaction. The resources use a bit of a bento grid with the most important one taking a full width size and the rest half width with padding. All content has been added finally, all animations intact, the embeds have a custom bg glow based on the initial embed content. the embed may be slow to load on mobile, which i will fix in a future update if ever needed as i will be moving to focus on other projects.

I made a website for one of my school’s events called Y.LEAD. The website serves as a common platform for participants and facilitators to access information like timeline, the different events, participant documents (soon to be added), overview, credit for people involved
Bug fixes, extra features and even more content and redirects for participants to use.
LIVE AT: https://y-lead-2026.vercel.app/ I made a website for one of my school’s events called Y.LEAD which is a 4 day leadership camp for my juniors. As part of the organising committee, I took the opportunity to create a nice website for both participants and facilitators to access information like the days schedule, certain activity materials, photos taken during the event, event teasers/storyline videos etc… When designing the website, I aimed it to be user centric by follow conventional navigation and UX. Additionally, I came up with a palette and then started creating the different pages of the website trying to make everything feel fresh and aesthetically pleasing. Some elements following this philosophy: animated timeline graphic instead of a google sheet, todo list or calendar component depth effect with animations in the landing page ability to search cheers for participants during the event animated hero for theme page embeds instead of plain links to the external resources glowing effect behind images some challenges I faced was ensuring the website was responsive on practically any screen size. I specially made a vertical poster for the landing page just for mobile and different layouts for mobile and larger screens. Additionally, another challenge was slow loading speeds for images, that would ruin the landing page especially when I first started out, luckily the fix was quite straightforward. I converted all the images to avif format and set it to a lower quality on low res screen as there wont be a big visible difference, reserving a max res of 2k for larger screens like 1440p. All in all, I would say this is one of the projects in which i had the most fun building, I got to learn even more about responsive web design, UX, performance optimisation and even got to experience how it’s like to program a website with tight deadlines and an actual production target. Even though theres only 14 hours logged on stardance, I have spent around 40-50 hours painstakingly coding most of this website by myself, AI was mostly sparingly only for debugging and refactoring some parts of the code or generating boilerplate. With that I have finally finished this project start to end!...

(I am planning to add a condition that would either ‘whisper’ it or just broadcast to the channel by default.

I added the QR code generation feature that lets you add a link or text, and lets you choose things like color or format. I added a stock checker function, but it doesnt work very well. I also added an email checker feature that works, but is kind of shallow information wise (APIs fault) I also added a “-q” flag that would determine if the response would be sent to the whole channel or just you.
I created the logo / icon for the slack app in figma using the anchor guide to remind myself on how to make nice logos.
I ended up adding eightball, trivia and polls. For the eightball, i used this api : https://www.eightballapi.com and it just outputs the text from the api. for trivia, I found an API that provides 4 answers (1 correct, 3 incorrect) and i made buttons that set as the answers.

i added a feature that switches my slack pfp every 5 minutes, and that took some while to set up, since the api slack uses is rrly weird. but with some help from ai, i finally got it working whichis really cool since now my pfp switches into a different fallout pfp every 5 mins.
I added a feedback form which can be triggered using /vjs feedback. I had AI help me with adding the form since I needed to use a view in slack and I didn’t know how to handle the feedback that was received.

Finished the personal website mission tutorial! Some basic stuff for now, just 3 segments (about me, projects ✨more✨) but i have big plans!
I already had a rough outline of how I wanted my website to look, but I designed a couple more things in Sketch. They’re subject to change, ofc, but this is what I want my website to have!
Recreated the design with html and css! It took me quite a while to get the div centered correctly and for objects to not jump around and stay on the desk no matter the viewport size, but I managed to do it at the end!

I want it to be a custom page with my photos. Also maybe it should be a different website altogether for mobile?

Designed and implemented the album page! It’s basically “my wall” showcasing some of my favorite photos I’ve taken. Will probably update with new ones in the feature, too. Also, I added some fade in to make page loading look nicer!
Designed a game page that showcases the games I’ve made that I’m the most proud of as gameb- uhhh I meant Poteto ALEX BOY™ cartridges!
Recreated the games page design with html and css, and renamed the project to Alex’s Desk. Also, the photos page was actually this extremely large (20mb) vector file, so I instead I exported it as png and compressed it, which resulted into a neat 1,4mb file instead!
Designed and implemented a nice social media embed for the website!
The website had some issues with hover animations, so I wrapped all animated objects inside divs that don’t themselves move. I also added a back button the the gallery and games page, since many people wanted that from the previous ship’s reviews!
Began working on the design for a mobile version of the site. It could look like a phone home screen? If I figure out how to do grids properly that is

Devlog #06 Working pipes! I added the pipe mechanic. So now it spawns at different Y levels and returns to the X initial position to not waste memory. It does not make the player die or anything, i’ll add this later.
Devlog #06 GAME COMPLETE I added the points and gameover system. I did it fast, so the code is crappy by the moment. But after i refactor it. I only need to port it to windows before shipping. (Yeah, i’m terrible in my own game, as yall can see in this clip)
Devlog #07 Added finally windows support! I added the tag _WIN32 to speciallized compile. As i do not have windows, i cannot compile the inary and put it on releases. If your’re on windows, you’ll need to build it from source… ;(

I creaded a AsciiBird! A flappy bird version on the terminal. I learned about frame buffers, memcpy() and how to handle user input without the canonical mode and the terminal ECHO. Space Jumps R restarts Q exits...

Title: Configuring my Neovim by @sanji | Stardance Title: Configuring my Neovim by @sanji | Stardance
Devlogs:
Today I started working on configuring my own Neovim setup and turning it into a personal IDE. I have : -installed neovim -created directory structure and setup files -Started Using Lua for Configuration(using documentation) -I installed and configured Lazy.nvim as my plugin manager. -configured hackatime for neovim following documentation for configuration & debugging issues some of my time spent on debuggin and solving the errors, because it’s my first time working with Lua language
configured colors scheme for my editor, explored various colors schemes available by installing and I picked gruvbox.nvim for my IDE
configured all my settings in Neovim, here what I have done: -Map our Leader key to Space -Highlight search in the file. -Show line numbers. -Disable the mouse completely. -Enable copying between Neovim and the system clipboard. -Wrap our lines. -Disable swap files but keep undo history. -Decrease update time to make Neovim faster. -Configure how and where we open splits. -Change the indentation. -Adjust how we scroll on the screen.
Custom Keymaps For my Neovim setup, I kept the custom keymaps minimal. Neovim already provides many useful default keybindings, so there is no need to create hundreds of custom shortcuts. Some of the keymaps I added include: Space + s to save the current file k and j for smoother cursor movement H and L to jump to the beginning and end of a line Q to close the current buffer vv and ss to create vertical and horizontal splits Ctrl + h/j/k/l to navigate between splits Tab and Shift + Tab for indentation in visual mode Improved y and p behavior to move the cursor to the end of copied or pasted text Space + h to clear search highlights
A plugin is for commenting code. Now, I can use gcc , for example, to comment a line or gcG to comment the whole file. I used numToStr/Comment.nvim github repo and doc for this
Added Fuzzy finder in my Neovim It will help us find any files or text that we need quickly and efficiently. Ctrl + p finds files in the project Space + b shows a fuzzy finder with the list of opened buffers Space + / gives you live search in the project.
Added Status Line And I ndentation It displays contextual information about the current buffer, cursor, and editor state. By default, it shows the file path, modification status (e.g., [+] for unsaved changes), LSP diagnostics (error/warning counts), and cursor position (line and column). By default, this specific layout divides status line into distinct visual chunks: Far Left: Instantly shows what mode you are in (NORMAL, INSERT, VISUAL) with clear color changes. Middle Left: Hooks directly into your GitHub configuration to show you which branch you are on and if you have any uncommitted changes. Far Right: Displays the exact line and column number your cursor is sitting on, along with the file type (like lua or markdown). Indentation - plugin for displaying indentation in the file. You can see that vertical lines which show the indentation in the code.
Configured Mason and LSP think of them as an app store and an interpreter Mason: It is the Language Server. It’s the most powerful tool as it allows us to implement language validation, import dependencies, go to definition, renaming, and much more. It is your built-in App Store It downloads Language Engines It manages dependencies safely LSP: In Neovim, the Language Server Protocol (LSP) acts as a standardized bridge between the editor and external language servers, enabling IDE-like features without requiring a full IDE. This separation allows Neovim to handle text editing while third-party servers manage code analysis, resulting in support for many languages and composable components. It acts as the Bridge/Interpreter It activates servers dynamically It maps your power-shortcuts
Autocomplete Menu Feature Added a A beautiful, responsive autocomplete menu.without an autocomplete plugin, it has no way to actually show those suggestions while typing. This feature configures nvim-cmp, which is the autocomplete engine for your Neovim setup So I added Autocomplete menu feature, which - popup menu appears when you start typing code It decides what to show you (functions, variables, file paths, snippets) Gives auto code snippet
Added Conform Formatter ( code formatter) for Neovim This plugin is going to take Prettier (for your JavaScript/HTML) and hook it directly into your save command. Now the moment I save my file, it will instantly snap all my messy indentation and brackets into perfect alignment. Earlier in the setup, I mapped my Leader key + s (Space + s) to save the file. Now when I press Space + s. Conform will catch the save command, perfectly format the entire file using Prettier/Stylua, and then write it to the disk, all in a fraction of a millisecond!
Nvim-Tree Sidebar! Having a visual file tree on the left side of your screen is essential for navigating a large project. It lets you explore folders, create new files, and delete directories visually without memorizing paths. How It works - Press Space then e then e ( <leader>ee ). A clean, structural file panel will slide open on the left hand side of your screen! Use your standard j and k movements to navigate up and down the file tree. Press Enter on a folder to expand it, or Enter on a file to open it in your main window. To close the panel, just tap <leader>ee again. and more…
Added Terminal Feature a built-in terminal that slides up from the bottom of the screen is exactly like VSCode. Now when I Press Ctrl + \ on your keyboard.A sleek terminal will instantly slide up from the bottom of my screen, ready to type git commands, run servers, or compile code. If you press Ctrl + \ again, it will hide away but keep whatever process you started running in the background! Hit Esc (or type jk fast) to exit terminal insert mode.
Added a README.MD file and tested all the features of my neovim configuration. I used some AI for creating the readme
Ships:
I built a fully customized, lightweight Neovim IDE from scratch using Lua. It’s my first time I configured my neovim and its simple and just have main feature of IDE. Right now it’s Not a Full VSCode like configuration. I did it just for fun. And I really enjoyed it, I used documentation available on the internet for my help. Cause it’s my first time working with Lua language its challenging for me but I used the documentation and little bit ai(just for learning ) and then tried myself. I am incredibly proud of transforming a raw, blank terminal editor into a professional-grade development environment. I added a demo video so other can see what I have done, but if you want to try it by user-self then follow the readme.md file for installation....

I addded few more items and a boss level im working on
Im working on a basic boss level, gonna try to make it a bit harder and make the boss like the Undertale flower boss and red ball 2 boss combined

Zolt so Title: Zolt by @perr | Stardance
Devlogs:
Zolt so this is php but with lua instead. well i wanted to learn zig and lately i been working on php project, and i just really love how stuff seem so simple but i kinda hate php syntax and the server around it. so yea here zolt it a zig web server that read the lua file you are requesting via query path then use luau to run it and give you the response. right now it just a plain text response but more coming!
Devlog 2 so from the last time i added new api such as require allow you to load other luau file and use them as a module header add header to the response status set http status code for the response with require you can now create function that help you build, for example i created a render module that help me to render html easier without having to deal with writing html tags manually apart from new api there has been a lot of changes behind the scene such as concurrency and performance improvements for the next devlog i will be working on adding api support for query params , form data , json body , and cookies so that you can build more complex web app with zolt! not only that am working on a documentation site that will also serve as an example on how to build web app using zolt
Documentation!! so i been working on a documentation for zolt with guess what zolt well the doc right now is pretty barebone with just intro and install for now but it is made with zolt,html,css,js i also use hotwire turbo and stimulus, and it also use this cute font by creators of grug. ( https://handdrawn.software/grug/ ) you can access the doc page here https://zolt-doc.perr.dev
Quick Start i have added new entry to documentation such as installation using the new install script and your first zolt web guide along with lua api reference. for the zolt i have move status() and header() api into response.status() and response.header() to align more with request.path() and change webroot from current working dir to config parent dir.
Query ! i added new api to the lua vm call request.query it accept 1 parameters field: string and return a string so if your url is host/?field1=value running request.query(“field1”) will return “value”
HOL (Html On Lua) so from the last ship someone suggest that there should be a tsx like syntax that allow you to write html easier and i agree with that writing the whole layout in echo is a pain so i make hol a pretty simple html builder that ship with zolt so you can just import it anywhere without having to download it and am looking forward to add more feature such as native support for each element instead of H(“h1”) you can just do h1(“Header”) something like that
Sadly, There is such thing as a wrong decision when i first set out to make zolt i figure it will be a good place to learn zig i mean it such a small project just a simple http server that execute lua. but then i started using it myself and kept needing more feature but sadly even tho this project started as a way to learn zig. i just didn’t really click with it thus when implementing feature i kept having to relies a lot on codex. So what? so i started a new branch call experimental-go that contain a go rewrite of zoltd plan to be as much backward compatible as possible but not fully as zig zoltd use luau while go zoltd use gopher lua but otherwise i will try and implement all function in zig Naming even tho the project is being rewritten in go. the name will still remain zolt cuz golt sound worse What zolt go version like right now i just implement a lua runtime based on gopher-lua and implement 2 function echo() and print()
Core Function is here after the go rewrite i have now implement 3 core function back but with some changes from zig version so when the go merge it will be a breaking changes http_set_status(status: int) let you set http response code such as 404 500 403 http_content_type(type: string) let you set content type header for usecase like json api http_header_add(key: string,value: string) let you add to the headers i also implement require for loading module and bring back hol now as htmlkit so yea looking forward to merge the go branch into main in a few days but it will 100% be a breaking changes not that who cared anyways except me cuz am the only one using it and now i have to fix my code
Merge!! no more experimental-go branch the go rewrite has been merge to the master branch along with the new releases 0.4.0 with support for windows too!. the documentation is currently wip so no doc yet sadd T_T but that the next thing am working on
Documentation! just deploy a new version of documentation site and the go rewrite is complete! from the last update i also added http_request.header[“string”] let you get the header value http_request.query[“string”] let you get the parameters from request query http_request.method get the request method allow you to support POST and others turbokit module allow you to quickly create turbo-frame after this i will be working on form support so you can really build a web app with it
Template I guess so before all zolt app are written using .lua file and write to the response using echo which led to kind of bad dx so after the last ship there were some review on some kind of tsx like language so i been working on that and here zolt template build on top of go html/template with a lua block it will become a default way of writing app using zolt while .lua will be use for shared module and library
Ships:
a tiny zig web server that speaks luau. when user request the server run the lua code and return them. kinda like php but with lua....

Ships:
I made a Operating system using html, JavaScript, and Css which runs on the browser. My operating system is called “RaceOS” because the theme is RaceCars. My project also features very unique features such as a count down to the next F1 session and the wallpaper matches the track of the following race week.
New Feature from what I submitted in WebOS 1: Live Drivers Standings using database. Live Constructors Standings using database. Live Lap Records using Database. F1 Calendar app now has more info about race weekends and uses a database instead of a static image. F1 Teams app which has information about each F1 team, using 2 databases collectively. A intro video that transitions to the Start OS screen. New color scheme for windows, header, countdown, etc. Windows can be horizontally and vertically stretched and shrunk....

Setup vite project and added a notes app. It is a draggable window with title and a textarea to write notes.
Created clock app and some other UI improvements.
Added the photos app where you can view multiple images.
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS. I’ve added analog clock in the clock app. Plus, the photos app is improved also. Now, photos are cycled (when user is on last image, the next button takes to the first image and vice versa)
In this devlog, I want to tell that I’ve updated how the notes app works. Now, you can create multiple notes seamlessly and switch between them using a tab-like interface. Full CRUD functionality is available. Plus, images in the Photos app are cached now, so they load instantly when you scroll through them
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS, in this update, I’ve added an ambient sound mixer app. There are many sound options available, you can play them all at once or any combination you like. And I’ve also added window maximize/minimize feature.
In this devlog, I want to announce a major update to ViteOS: a new global chat app where anyone can connect and talk in real time! I built this application using Supabase. During its development, I learned how Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) works to protect data. Even though Supabase client keys are public, RLS ensures that users can only perform actions explicitly allowed by your policies, keeping the database safe from unauthorized writes or deletions. And I have also integrated a unique clock that I created as a side project in November 2025. Hope you will like it.
Welcome to new devlog of ViteOS.I have created “Npm Explorer” app where you can search any npm package and view its details. It uses official npm registry for fetching data. Features included in Npm explorer: Package name and description shown at the top left corner. A button for viewing package on npm. Copy the command for installing package. Keywords, dependencies and maintainers displayed. Formatted readme displayed.
Welcome to another devlog of ViteOS. I’ve added a compiler app supporting python and javascript. It uses browser’s built-in WASM (Web Assembly) to run the code and display output.
Introducing “Windows 98” mode. I have made changes in every window, and every element to look exactly like the old UI of windows. You can easily switch between the two modes. It took a lot of time!
Final devlog before shipping. I thought I would complete the project after the previous devlog, but then I got idea of two more apps. And I thought they will be really useful and good. But, as I made my mind to ship after the previous devlog, I didn’t had any motivation to develop these apps (“Browser” and “Storage Lab”) myself, so I developed them using AI. Plus, I have also made all the windows resizable. Hope you will like them.
I have removed two apps that were fully generated by AI, because a stardance project reviewer said that my project mostly looks like AI built it. So, i removed the browser and “storage lab” apps.
