I am proud of I made the very first version of a custom operating system with minimal use of ai! what comes in the next ship In the next ship of this project, I will add features to create/edit/delete files and a custom text editor. for people testing the project Download the iso file from the GitHub releases page. use qemu with the following command - qemu-system-i386 -cdrom KernOS.iso -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x04...

Devlogs:
Starting work This is a really ambitious project I doubt I’ll be able to finish completely by October, but I’ll try to get as far as possible, so lets see :3
Devlog 2 - Added Nodes for generation These nodes are clickable by the player in order to buy Generators, which create Energy or other resources. They are comparable to the Cell to Singularity nodes. There will be Generator and Upgrade Nodes; Generator Nodes will be able to be bought multiple times, while upgrade nodes will only be able to be bought once.
Devlog 3 I have continued my work on Pocket Universe, and have added following: Split Node Prefabs into Generator and Upgrade Nodes Added a NodeBoost Scriptable Object Worked on Node Visibility Logic One problem I have is that a lot of the code for Generator and Upgrade Nodes is identical. I would have made a Node Monobehavior script that handles both and individual sub-classes, but that is kind of messy, at least for now. We will see in about 5 Devlogs if I made the right choice :p
Devlog 4 Changes Added functionality to pan & zoom around Moved the HUD (Energy Display) into a separate canvas Notes this took me longer than I’d like to admit, because Unity was being a bit finicky about my GameObject and refused to run its code for some reason. I used AI for troubleshooting the problem, but used none of its code.
Devlog 5 Changes Added code to allow for generation of different resource types Notes I have been on a long creative block, I can’t really seem to pick up my laptop and continue coding. It might have a bit to do with the fact that I was very busy the last week or so, so i didn’t have much energy and motivation left to program. I kind of forced myself to implement this feature which i half-assed earlier this week, it’s really simple but it’s a start at getting more motivated :) Next week I don’t have as many exams, pressure from DLRG tests and all that stuff, so I’ll have more time to code :]
Devlog 6 Changes Added Generator Production cost: Each generator can now require a certain amount of every resource Notes This is a rather small update, but I’m still trying to get back on my feet from my hiatus. More updates coming soon though, I’ve got some more motivation *By the way: If there’s anyone that would like to do some texture designing, I would be more than happy to accept your work! Credit is, of course, guaranteed (I’m working on a credit screen anyways ;p).
Devlog 7 Changes Added Modal Functionality Test Modal for debug purposes Alert Modal for important stuff (save on exit, etc.) Made HUD better for cross-device formatting Included a vertical layout group for all of the displayed currencies Notes It’s been a bit annoying, to say the least. First off, I wanted the Modals to be completely modular from the start, but I kept getting NullReference errors that didn’t make sense to me, so I had to make a script for each modal type and serialize the GameObjects and other stuff individually. It’s not as modular as I want, but what can ya do :p As for the HUD, I hope it works across devices, I sometimes code on my MacBook and sometimes on my PC, and the layout always breaks. I haven’t tested it yet, so I’ll be as surprised as you are if it doesn’t work.
Devlog 7.1 Changes Added Line Drawn to Parent node Will be used for hierarchical unlocking in the future Started work on the sidebar Notes Yeah, I’m a bit screwed. The current structure of my nodes is kind of weird; I have two types of nodes: Generators and Upgrades, each having two unique scripts. That’s good, because they have different logic. Thats not so good because they also share some logic. That’s horrific because they sometimes need to be accessed interchangeably. So here are a few things i could do: Merge both scripts into one, with an enum or something for the different node types Make a base which both nodes can inherit and use give up and cry option 3 sounds the easiest right now, my brain is so broken :’)
Devlog 8 Changes Added Node Info Text Box Shows Title, info about the node, and a button to buy with a set price Refactored Node Script Structure Notes I have been saved by the power of abstract classes! I unified the nodes into one abstract Node class, and made completion classes for Generators and Upgrades. Now it works by simply accessing the base Node class instead of not knowing whether the class is GeneratorNode or UpgradeNode. This makes it much easier. I am planning now to get some interesting node names from physics, like building up from quarks to larger structures, and i also am going to make some textures so the game doesnt look as shitty :p
Devlog 9 Changes Completed Node Info Box Header Description for the Node Effect, basically what the node does Button to buy the node Added 2 Starting nodes 1 Generator Node named “Fundamental Interaction” 1 Upgrade Node named “Strong Nuclear Force” AI was used in this timespan for troubleshooting max width for the Node info box Notes This was honestly very fun to work on.

Devlog 10 Changes Added 6 Nodes Added 3 Generator Nodes Added 3 Upgrade Nodes Implemented handling of locked/invisible nodes Locked nodes now won’t be able to be bought unless the parent node is bought at least once Nodes behind a locked node are invisible until the locked node is bought Notes This is fun!

I am a bit worried about making textures, though, since they all look like some weird corporate/ai generated logo because i’m not good enough at art / graphic design
Devlog 11 - wow it finally looks okay Changes Added Icons Made NodeInfo Effect Text yellow AI was used to create the icons - This is temporary * until I figure out how to use Inkscape Notes Didn’t do a lot of programming, and unity refused to track my time for some reason, i did more like an hour, so its not a big deal
Devlog 12 Changes Added button colors for hover, select, and normal events made button in the Node Info modal uninteractible if node is locked fixed unlocked check for Upgrade Nodes
Devlog 13 - double parents :3 Changes Allowed multiple parents per node Fixed false dragging assertions Notes I’m almost done with the base game mechanics, after that it’s just textures, sounds, and gameplay and then I’m ready for my first ship!
Devlog 14 - I am an IDIOT Changes Recreated all SOs to fix their attached script Build 5 broken and 1 working prototype Remove quarks as a resource Add menu with exit button Notes I am the definition of stupid. I had a problem for 2 WHOLE HOURS, and the fix was simply putting the script for the SOs into its own file. I am my own worst enemy, because of my own stupidity. Well, the more you know.
Devlog 15 - Trying to make it look a bit better Changes Added Modal Background Moved Menu and Energy Display into Top Bar ** AI was used to generate an SVG for the modal background and to fix the positioning of the elements ** Notes I originally only shipped this project because I thought The event was going to end soon and I was gonna be busy with Haven, but now since the event has been extended, I figured I can continue working on it :)

I is the pulsar’s moment of inertia, which describes how difficult it is to change its rotation. Ω is its angular velocity, measured in radians per second. Ω̇ is the rate of change of angular velocity, measured in radians per second squared. The negative sign is for the loss of rotational energy. Since the pulsar is slowing down, its spin down rate is negative, while the pulsar’s radiated power is positive Lastly, connecting everything I updated my pybind11 bindings to integrate the new C++ code into my pygame visualization.

I wanna get it up to par with the rest of my work which is in the README (go check it out 😊). Although, not having models/assets is a big obstacle so I’m forced to draw everything with Pygame. Currently, the physics is simplified so I can get a minimum viable product of the simulation. So now I’m stuck between two choices: A) Get the simulator to look significantly better or B) Unsimplify the physics and make it technically impressive I’ll go start figuring out that one next
Devlog 3 The pulsar is finally starting to look 3D Today I connected it to the camera system from the rest of the simulator, so I can rotate and zoom around it properly now. I also added a 3D background starfield, which surprisingly helped a lot because you can actually between the front and the back of the simulation The magnetic field lines were also moved from 2D plane into a 3D plane around the neutron star. I added some glow to them and worked on a feature where the lines that go behind it just disappear instead of awkwardly just being in the background There were a couple annoying bugs with lines randomly disappearing and even entering the star itself, but those are fixed now It still has a LONG way to go visually, but I think it’s starting to resemble the kind of pulsar simulation I had in mind
I thought the hardest part would be the pulsar physics, turns out it was the rendering that was a genuine pain I reworked the field lines into 3D instead of the ugly previous 2D, added rotation, added a beam that you see in pulsars, and basic camera controls. I’m quite happy with how its all coming together.
I just finished the final touches on the pulsar visualization. I changed the beams to be more cone-like for visualization purposes, added control panel functionality and packaged it all into a .exe for you guys to try I’ll try to create alternative for the goated non-Windows users https://github.com/Coverst-ux/space-sim/releases/tag/v1.0.0 <- .exe file https://github.com/Coverst-ux/space-sim <- github repo/readme
I spent most of my time today polishing up my README for the stardance so I can actually reship the project I really just broke down the details of the stardance/pulsar work with a little more explanation so the reader knows what’s going on such as rotation period, light cylinder, magnetic dipole field, etc… Finally, I updated the demo website on my github to have the github icon actually point to the source code instead of just pointing to my general github profile Probably not my most productive/impressive session but definitely was needed Any feedback or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Energy loss Normally, a pulsar loses energy when the magnetic field rotates. My simulation previously didn’t account for that. So that brought me to the idea of making the pulsar more realistic by implementing an energy loss system that causes the pulsar to slow down over time New physics that was implemented Magnetic field radiation power: Calculated how much rotational energy the pulsar loses Spin down: Using that energy loss to calculate how quickly the velocity decreases Sneak peek into the actual physics behind this : P = -I × Ω × Ω̇ Where: P is the power radiated by the pulsar, measured in watts. I is the pulsar’s moment of inertia, which describes how difficult it is to change its rotation. Ω is its angular velocity, measured in radians per second. Ω̇ is the rate of change of angular velocity, measured in radians per second squared. The negative sign is for the loss of rotational energy. Since the pulsar is slowing down, its spin down rate is negative, while the pulsar’s radiated power is positive Lastly, connecting everything I updated my pybind11 bindings to integrate the new C++ code into my pygame visualization. I also made sure that rotation speed doesn’t cause the magnetic axis to jump and that everything works as intended https://github.com/Coverst-ux/Space-sim-Cpp-Port
README rework I did a MAJOR readme overhaul by restructuring it into like one continuous story while also making it sound less like a research paper (although the research paper vibe was my goal at the start) Before, my readme was messy with no structure and just mixed into each other My cleanup was mainly just reordering it and changing a few paragraphs to sound less research-y and more fun/story vibe Most of the info was already previously there from the first version of the readme so this session was just about presentation
Ships:
I made an interactive pulsar simulation with 3D magnetic field lines, rotating polar beams, adjustable rotation speed/tilt, camera controls and a few live values. The most annoying part was probably getting the field lines, depth and render order to stop looking weird together, but I got it into a state I’m actually happy with. The physics side is handled through my C++ backend and the rendering is done in Python/Pygame. For testing: arrow keys rotate the camera, scroll zooms, A/D changes rotation speed, W/S changes the magnetic tilt and Space pauses it. I also packaged it into a Windows .exe so you can just download it and try it This is the github release, the website is just for documentation and research purposes, a fancy README https://github.com/Coverst-ux/space-sim/releases/tag/v1.0.0...

I worked for six hours and finally got the mechanism to work and completed 90% of the 3d model I finally got most of the 3d modeling done and did some test prints with the new food safe filament I got I did some testing with the mechanism and I confirmed that the mechanism does work (I think) I started the first print today and hopefully it works 🤞(it’s ten hours long)

Previously my site was really laggy. my pc used 2gb of ram and 90% GPU (on a 3070 😭) on my site alone. This is why i wanted to rewrite the site. my old site just used basic html/css, thats also another reason i wanted to rewrite my site Since i wanted to learn create a site in react a chose that. Changes: Rewrote and redesigned my site in react. Add secret menu to change the text and colors of the site. Added possibility to add more languages
The site was still pretty laggy on lower end devices. So i reduces the amount of electrons for lower end devices. I also rewrote the whole UI with the mantine UI library. because of this i didn’t have to write my own widget dragging system.
added a page to display all my roblox accounts. it fetches the avatars, usernames and group info from the roblox api based on a list of userid’s.
added a portfolio page to display all the projects that i’ve worked on! I use multiple mantine packages to make the UI creation much easier. for example for the carousel, image compare and lightbox
I updated the readme so i can ship my website!
Added a sandbox page so you can play around with the text and colors and stuff. you can also do this by pressing “ctrl + /” on any page. Also added a projects widget so you can easily go to my portfolio from the homepage
Added a page to paint the pixels. https://daintydust.dev/paint you can use tools like: pencil, brush, rectangle, circle, eraser. or change the brush size or grid size. At first i thought it was pretty easy since i already had a working grid system that could display text. But after alot of trial and error i managed to add the first pen tool. After that was done it was pretty easy adding the other tools
added a text tool to my paint page, you can now add text in different sizes. this was pretty easy to do since i already had a system to display text on my homepage, so i reused most stuff for that also added a tech stack to my portfolio, so others can see what languages i can program in. and I fix a bug where the electrons wouldn’t follow the grid when changing the grid size.
I added a fill tool, this was pretty hard to do since there are some complicated calculations that needed to be made. So for the really hard calculations i used forms online and a bit of AI
Fixed the lag on small grid sizes by rebuilding the paint rendering by doing these changes: Drawings are now cached on an offscreen canvas and rendered via a single drawImage() call every frame instead of running 30,000+ fillRect() calls per second. Grouped pixels by color to avoid expensive canvas context switching. maybe still needs some work, but its already alot faster for things like text rendering
Added proper mobile support by changing some css selectors
Ships:
I made a portfolio website to show of my projects. I made the site using react + mantine because mantine UI makes it really easy to add and create components. In the beginning it was pretty challenging because i never created a site in react or with mantine before. So i had to learn all of those from the beginning A friend of mine recommended mantine UI, because it has really nice looking UI components, its free and its opensource! Since i updated my already existing site and rewriting it in react + mantine. I already had a stylesheet to style my website. So i could easily reuse that. Visit the site at: https://daintydust.dev View my portfolio at: https://daintydust.dev/portfolio
I added a sandbox page so people can play around with the text and pixel colors since alot of reviews like that! you can access it at https://daintydust.dev/sandbox (or press “ctrl+/” on any page to popup the commands menu But I didn’t find that enough, i wanted more. So a friend of mine suggested making a kind of paint program where you can draw pixels, shapes and text!
In the reviews on my previous ships, people gave me alot of feedback on things that were missing or bugged, So i fixed most of them this update. First people asked for a for a fill tool. Secondly a few people pointed out that in a low grid size the paint page was really laggy. Lastly people mentioned that the mobile version was pretty bad. Try out the paint page at: https://daintydust.dev/paint Check out the site at: https://daintydust.dev...

Devlogs:
this is my project manager i have a lot of features i want to add to this but i have never made an actual app before so its a bit of a learning curve hack a time split my stuff in to 2 projects and i dont know why but idk i just lost like 1.5 hr i fixed it by making a new project and linking both projects to it i made 4 tabs that you can switch between with the tab bar at the top
ui is really buggy so i am using like the really weird color to help me see and design better but in the future i want to make it like slighly transparent gray with neon blue highlights in like a semi futureistic style i made the page for the list there is a list of projects o the left this list is auto generated it holds the title of your project you can scroll right title description bugs the scrollview was like really long for sum reason * i think it was beclouds i was using a tab bar witch is normal horezontal * after trying like every thing i ended up making it not a tab bar * i made it a column with with java scrip that checks witch ta is selected for a while all the stuff was layed on ton of one another * it made like this weird lump of assests * ngl i dont realy know how it fixed it just kinda did at sum point and i am not going to try to mes with it if i dont have to
so i managed to make negative progress i forgot to save then today has been kinda bad and my code was just really bad so it ended up worst then before
project page it is not the list page there difrent i finished up the project page list on the left there is a list that will hold all projects i am working on each list item holds 4 things picture/logo title * short description of the project * button to open a bigger description drecription this is a page that you quick ly see and be riminded of what your project does there is a title and picture at the top there is quick links to make feting to certent parts of your project easyer then there is a place where you can list all the featues and constraints you want font.pointSize: parent.height - 15 > parent.width/ text.length ? parent.width/ text.length : parent.height - 15 this code snipit was something i wrote that makes it so that text auto scales withe the page i just thought it was cool it works by setting the point size to the height but this would have not worked if the box gets to tall so what i did was to check if the width or height is small then do the smaller one and to check the width i devise the width by the text.lenghth
Calender i spent a lot of time coming up with the genral lay out i am planing to refine it more latter
i made the home page i also spent like a really long time getting git hub set up on the left i have tasks that i want to do today on the right there is some quick notes and the time if you click the time it will take you to a timer/ stopwatch
so like i havent worked on this project like at all idk how i got 2-3 hrs on it if yo are a goi you can deflate this devlog
i made the task description and i started the logic part
i started the logic i have the bulk of it done just not all of it i made most of the variables load into the qml before in my other project i hade the cpp and the qml talk to each other and it was suppper jaky so now i basicly have the cpp controlling the entirer thing i made it so it can view files using recursion i think it was a cool way to do it idk also i have seperated the qml in to like 500 difrent files becouse it is just esier to use that way i also desided to ditch the sql becouse it takes a lot of set up and i am going to try to use json lastime i used nolmman it kept breaking so hopefully i can figure it out this time
some wack ui i did like a ton of crap i did the clear ui the files indents timer most of the functiuoanlty links can now open in a tab and the parts tab can expand and contract tasks can be checked on and off i seperated the elements in the qml so there arnt sync bugs
editing and creating data i am making it so that you can edit the data in the projects. i am posting becouse of the 10hr limit i will make a goood devlog later to day
i be doing json so i made it so that all the the difrent types of data have an edit menu and it saves it to json so you can have the file saved basicly every page has a edit page that repaces everything with text boxes and edits it
last minut changes there were tones of bugs because the JSON was made with spaghetti code so it was index out of range every where so i had to just go through all of them 1x1 i also made a windows build
read me stuff i had a friend test it really fast he told me some problem then i fixed them then i wrote a long read me file
Ships:
this is a project manager that i made. you have probably seen tones of project managers but this one is slightly different . the main things that i wanted to make for this i want it to be something you can keep on your desktop at all times. another thing i wanted to do is project ideas. i have hundreds of project ideas but its hard to remember all of them so i wanted to make a project manager that can store a list off all these ideas however at the same time i want a project manager that can still hold all my project data to help develop. so i also added that in but i also want something that will also have some simple use full tools so i added them all in to one a project manager / project idea list / simple tools some of the tools i added is stop watch quick notes timer you can click a button to copy the time i also was very car full to make it not take up a lot of ram so you can just leave it open i also tried to make to make it so in the future i can add stuff i am thinning a calculator and stuff also this was my first experience with qml/qt and it was an awesome learning experience...

Sick Bae is not meant to replace a school nurse or other healthcare professional. Instead, it provides basic guidance while encouraging students to seek professional help whenever necessary. What I found challenging is the new programming language and framework I had to use which are dart and flutter respectively. This project was a bit challenging and broadened my skills for which I’m very grateful. Please let me know you’re thoughts about it...

Deblog #1: New Project The end goal is to have an app that can compare prices between different grocery stores and can tell you where you can get your items the cheapest. I have set up a basic project in Docker with Rust and Postgres. Current capabilities are loading product data from SPAR deserializing, structuring and storing it in the db. There is no UI yet, but thats the next step.
Devlog #2: Data Expansion After I got everything set up last devlog I now added some real data collection capabilities. We now track: name brand vendor price of one unit size of one unit (The thing in the image, not necessarily 1 kg/L/etc) image URL reference price (How much does 1 kg/L/etc cost?) tags like “organic”, “gluten-free”, etc I also restructured some of the code to make it easier to add new vendors, befor we were kinda fixed on SPAR. That’s all for now, I will now go and create a frontend so that next time I can show you more than some db schema.
Devlog #3: The frontend I restructured my project a bit, so I could have a simple web UI for my project. Nothing fancy yet, but it proofs that everything works.

Devlog #4: Setting up a server So for the last day or so I’ve been working on setting up an online server.

#6 Devlog (not really) Almost forgot to ship this; and I was kinda panicing because the server was broken. Was a quick fix at least. But now I found that the search system is a bit whacky and I am really scared to fix it. Let’s hope I don’t break the server, because it has been some time since I set it up and I have no idea on how to fix it if it breaks.

Whoops! I forgot the README. Now its there.
Mods: The proejct description and the ship still say that it may have startup times. This is no longer true. Could someone remove that as I can’t do that any longer?

BREAKING NEWS, i added and changed a lot of things so i could make a delicious soup of changes that changed my old changed code that i yes. minimal frontend work called making the passkey section button go crazy with colors, authenticator icon (just search “aaguid explorer”, its not crazy work) and having a dialog telling “hi do you want to rename this, no? okay”. I also have collapsibles that hide info from your lil nonfluffy face when its useless. Now my crappy server knows from where you are connecting (who would have known that a server could know that) and where you live (oh no [its approximated from your ip]). THe latter only works when the instance is proxied under cloudflare (it even gets mad if a request doesnt have the headers it wants when you have enabled the “under cloudflare” mode). the audit log single method to do everything™ has been swapped with a builder (i love this), AND its info now includes that same ip and location (actor related [who did it]). all fields are now obligatory for… audit log purposes, because before i just pushed null on the db for things i didnt want to show the user MAKING a pretty stinker audit log that does not show who did what. i really dont know whata past me thought, because you can keep everything on the db and just show what you want to the user. idk, past me thinking in uhm not portals (yes). okay, more slurry of things. mah beautiful fix so the JWKS (signing keys used to… sign a jwt! [important for OpenID]) update when the database JWKS changed, spammed the hell out of the db and log as it polled instead of waiting for the db (or an instance) to say “I UPDATED IT GUYSS!1”!1”. This comes from the instances cache’ing JWKS instead of saying “could you repeat that” to the db (too many requests = blue elephant cry and explosions), so they need to know when the db changes or THEY WILL BE out of sync!! mr past me also thought that it was a good idea to store the oauth token code (used to get an access token) in plaintext in the muffing db, SMTH YOU SHOULDNT AT ALL DO. now its just hashed via hmac just like everything else. man i am GOOOD at this job of so called programming, having to go back to edit a thing i called done AND then HAVINGTO edit and edit and edit. this is so fun that I WILL BURST into FLAMES because of how stoopid i am meanwhile, you also have me deserving to be cooked with rice because I made a condition in the oauth token exchange that when SOMEONE somehow miss types or gets access to the oauth token code but has the wrong client_id, the temporary code gets deleted… and you know what i forgot? i forgot to commit the changes to the db, so the code never was deleted lol. i love these kind of stupid goofy pain errors that arent even errors. AALSO I reprettyfied the oauth helpers because after working on them a long time ago, i didnt know what were they doing and it wasnt fun nor funny >:( [i was mad {i am still mad, with that space birb… i want to sentence past moon to sad corner jail for 12 seconds}]. NOW teeny tiny additions!“1 the ratelimiter now exposes a “Retry-After” per a hacker news old moldy article i found, plus exposes its headers on cors. the audit log now does its job even in more parts! now it also tracks the totp recovery code usage [i frankly forgot about it :(].Changing your email or name now requires sudo minus the name on register. AND the app startup has now a beautiful banner saying “meow auth” in cursive. its pretty :3, makes it stylishinning. I also moved and added to the service manager (the watcher) a way to have service names and to launch services from inside of it (for some reason i used a method that was outof place for ages lol). oh no my time has come nnonono, i give you permission to see my trashy work in screenshot format (so modern)… yet i shall push towards completion of this meowing meow meow authing meow auth server:"}, {"post_id": 65650, "ts": "2026-09-10T22:39:28Z", "hours": 11.2656, "text": "hi hello hiiii, stupid space birb back from long bed sleep break. CATCHING UP, i have swapped to resident passkeys, fixed jwk refresh feature not working, beautified toml settings, added 2fa replay protection and audit log beautification. alright.. prepare for a long boring devlog as always. I finally swapped to resident passkeys after thinking about it for days (hours)! That means.. NO MORE user enumeration problemo with passkeys, yippie. it wasnt really a pain in the feathered buttocks, like it was just enabling a crate flag and boomy boom (and it even works on the frontend!). also, i patched with scotch tape a stupid buggy bug about the email templates, becuase I used a lazylock to store the email templater engine stuffy, when SOME random goofy template or data was wrong for whatever reason, it would poison the lazylock and the next time it was used it would just say “oh noes, i am broken, poisoned my childs. GO HECK YOUR SELF”… i just fixed the template part by checking if tera likes them in the global state creation. i love scotch tape, it smells great. while doing that, i finally addressed the beautiful jwks not updating on all instances because in MY JOB QUEUE only one running server instance can eat the job. that means, if you have 2 instances running, the one that is the unfortunate one that didnt eat the job will have stale jwks until the next time it is restarted. fixed it with some beautiful blue elephant database screaming “HEY GUYS, THE JWKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED” and the other instances will be like “oh, okay, i will update my beautiful jwks now”. finally, 2fa, or as i like to call it, TOTP, has been taken cared like a baby and then thrown again to the battle field after giving it the power up of replay protection. That means, if you use a code, it will be marked as used and you cant use it again (this only works with valid codes). makes you wait more smh. THE SETTINGS got a layer of microscopic makeup because i was like “man, these setting name are weired? what if the settings file had comments to know what the heck is this beautiful knob named ‘do_not_touch_this’”. yes i did that. it was a big red booty pain as i had rerereremember how to do proc_macros and how the heck did i even update the toml files with new entries without making them implode with gibrish. AND WE ALL KNOW NOW that ‘do_not_touch_this’ is a setting that if you set it to true, it will make this space birb implode in flames and become dust (yes, like a real firework going CHIRPAAAAAAAAAAAH pop ). and the final thing given some body work spray was the audit log. no more caveman moonbeeper style ‘log’ method with a thousand things. now we have the SAME thing but as a builder with a ‘save’ method. it just makes the code easier to read and understand. also, the audit log now has a “what resource¿” and “what ip?” and i removed the audit entry making from inside the auth helpers to outside. it was just an inconvenient place to put it, i dont evne know why would moonbeeper put it there… oh right i am moonbeeper. I DID IT BECAUSE it was a great place in those times. alright, HERE’s your typical bad screenshots that are trashign and god i am sleepy:"}, {"post_id": 53541, "ts": "2026-08-24T04:13:41Z", "hours": 9.2344, "text": "hi hello this is space bird. i have eaten 9h hours of real world time in just making the dialog component. I mean, IT WAS for making the 2FA prompts for when you wanted to enable it or disable and bleh bluh.. atleast it does look great… and i still need to add icons. the prompt is just the typical 2fa enable that gives you a qr or the 2fa secret if you cant scan the qr. The dialog component was pretty much made in nothing, in air time (free :D). the thing that took a bit was just the styling BUT WAHT did take a BIG LOOOT of time was just making the 2FA dialogs. lik gha damn hecking “2FA prompt” and “beep boop enabling dialogs”.. why?! becuase they are PACKED like a lasagna with forms, tanstack fetching, dialog steps and other stupid stuff to make it atleast not confusing for the user to navigate with tree sized buttons that dont work (becuase you are on the wrong step!!!!1 or already did everything lol). i mean, besides that custom stuff, it just reuses components like the pin or qr svg and… for now, also uses the spinner icon on the buttons you click to manage 2fa as i couldnt be asked to add real icons for now (leaving them for lasts). next up working work is more dialogs (for the passkey setup [so it isnt just a spinner without any “magic guideance”]), a collapsible comp to wrap the info items to show EVENTUALLY some metadata like, in the session items, browser, ip, what user was that did that thing and etc. Its just so i dont balloon the “info items” BECaUSE they are supposed to be some kind of “quick info”. broom brroom, i love wasting time on these stupid things (and wiring them!) >:3. LEAVING that tiny goofy work that apparently took hours to do. I am thinking and WILL be doing a beautiful swap into using resident passkeys (the ones that dont require me to know the user’s email in advance). yes, i know i said before that i dont wanted and ew ew resident. but man, its just easier for the end user to click a magical button to login directly. AND AND this even protects me from someone slapping the meowbackend with the email fish to see who is registered (with a passkey) by checking if the user’s email makes the selector appear. still, some part of me still thinks this is really bad idea but i want to do it tho… what could go wrong hah! i might aswell go to the cooking pot already and make some uhh chicken soup made of space birb. that’s it, i still feel like i havent done anything. Here’s your beautiful video of showing the beautiful dialog going “hi” “goodbye” (the video shows me enabling 2fa, viewing recovery codes and disabling it [with a recovery code]):"}, {"post_id": 47860, "ts": "2026-08-16T02:59:32Z", "hours": 10.5872, "text": "would you look at that, 10h… i love wasting time. Now THIS thing fetches some bits of data like the audit log, my passkeys, adding those and even modifying the username (you are forced to do it)! BUT big buty, i had to add the mr /signup/complete where you set your prefered username, like moon (its a me!), or else the backend will straight up refuse anything you want to do. AFTER changing it, you can do everything else a normal user can [by Default the username is just the user’s email AND THAT IS NOT PRETTY AT ALL >:(] FIRST OF all i grabbed my magic cup for tea and made the audit log page (it does not even have anything special)! .. oh right, for that i needed to know how the heck you even send requests with tanstack. so uhh,, blah bleh bluh wawa BOOM i now know how to call a method and get my data back AAnd even make infinite fetchers (IT kinda hates my way of giving data [its wrapped in {3} onion layers {request.data.data.data}, the ones that make you cry a bit]). i also synced my auth state with the tanstack client so it doesnt do two trips every time. okay now. TO make the audit log thingy, i did some beautiful matching so the type, creation and guy who did the action (probably the user) are actually human readable with a limit of 8 items (or else the /me page would be as long as this project’s crappy devlogs). When there’s more, a beautiful “view more” button appears (separate page). For this, so called “view more” page, i used the infinite queries. while at first i just puuushed the data into the dom with the #each (svelte thingy), chrome do be VERY very mad when there’s a lot of entries in there (The audit log, because it logs actions in your account, can get very huge. Because actions like the baddie Session action logs each time you log in or log out), SOO i did what someone whose browser is eating more than 10gb does, using a virtual list to render the it! (IT only renders items when they are visible, hidding [removing from the dom] non visible ones. this fixes the “OH gosh THOSE 200 things THAT I CANT EVEN SEE, ARE EATING MY precious ram”). OHh and you can press ESC to leave the page because i made a cool component that lets me plug in a callback for specific keyboard events :D. SECOND, the passkey stuff. yeah, pretty easy thanks to libraries like SimpleWebAuthn that do the hard work of telling the browser “hey, authenticate this guy please” or “hiya, registrate this passkey please”. its just querying what passkys you have to know… hwat passkeys you have and that’s it. BUT sadly, an actually sadly, my passkeys are non resident (I cant have a simple button to just login, I need you email before i can use the passkey). Thaaat means I havea teeny big tiny small user enumaration problemo becuase the backend can reveal that an user has a passkey registered and, in turn, we know that user is registered. a bad guy can just atack with “oh noes, your passkey has been stolen. pls give a undecillion of moneys”. third, i had to add the sudo page. It does what you think, reauthenticate to do sensitive operations like adding a passkey. Pretty simple, it redirects directly to an email code if the user does not have a passkey or totp enabled (email code is always enabled), if they have those, it just shows a selection screen. fourth, i had to fix up some stupid things with the api schema of the backend becuase I either forgot to put a body on the responses (like the passkey/webauthn routes) or just fix up a teeeeeny tiny setting thing that wasnt correct (its the webauthn/passkey rp_origin [allowed pages to register/use a passkey} becuase it jsut used the backend url and THAT is not correct). so tahat’s it, shall you see some stupid screenshots and not even a video because i havent even finished everything:"}, {"post_id": 44382, "ts": "2026-08-10T02:59:15Z", "hours": 6.0403, "text": "well hello again. space birb presents you the next devlog. I cleaned up the forms a bit (they are a still bit TOO messy ugly but they do work), REDID the ugly flags class to be a more EEEASIER TO WROK WITH (i dont even know how it worked before lol) and FINALIZED the auth pages! RIGHT right, first frontend. I finally finalized the most basic and empty and everything pages of the frontend! wahoo mee :). these pages practically include the otp one and the 2fa one (+ recovery).. and i just realized that i forgot about the passkey one, great so now it isnt finished (fried space bird thingy). Redid the pin component so it works with my Input form component AND also fixed some weired quicks of the pin component in phones (for some reason, my phone, didnt respect the max lenght of the input. i just sliced the value of the input on my max length lol). And finally, the frontend now has the most precious bit of any… i dont know. i just added the typical dropdown componetn for the avatars (yes, this was important for me). while on the backend, because mr past moon made some weired decisions, the 2FA recovery code generator and giver of the code the state was a messy mess that I frankly dont know if I even tested it, because it accepted wrong codes? i dont even remember if it worked haha in the past BUT now it works as it should and its at least better readable with normal method names (not plainly “recovery” [… what does that mean anyway!?? you would need to look at the code to understand it! and that’s bad]). ah, the typical moment has arrived, the one i always repeat. HERE’s your happily working auth pages for once, plus the “want to retry the email sending?”, the passkey one is still missing but that’s just slapping some paint (and painting my self) and boom (whhile this is practically the same as the past devlog, it just works better than the past devlog lol):"}, {"post_id": 43668, "ts": "2026-08-09T01:58:51Z", "hours": 10.3242, "text": "would you look at that!

AND the coolest compponent of all of them is the spinner one because it spins.

BUT i trashed it into the.. trash because I was fed up by having to repeat a thousand times the same snippet of code in each form or even page (I could have used a service like class to make it easier tho!). it was swapped by Orval! Orval works with the same openapi schema BUT gives methods! No more repeating the same things, just use the method and boom. and also that openapi-fetch was mad that i used a more recent typescript version.

For the layout of the settings, i even tried copying how I did it in the last iteration of this frontend (past server, not named meow auth).. i just did not like it because using a sidebar for this teeny tiny amount of information is wasteful (like this tiny [not really tiny] space birb).

So, I was doing the frontend design without using figma and uhh yes. And also removed the ability to use your login to.. login to the app. You just use your email (otp, and passkeys). First, I forgot how to use figma, I only remember some shortcuts. I was going to use it (for frontend and logos) but seeing how struggled to make simple things, I only used it to swap the colors of the logo of MEOW AUTH, hmm yes, very meow. . The frontend stuff… I frankly ALSO do not remember anything.. or well I do now remember some things thanks to me fighting to uncenter a div hah. The stack is practically svelte, as always, client rendered and scss (sassy :o) for the styling. In the start I was just going to use the same styling and structure of my first iteration of this project, beepauth (ew), and after doing all of that I thought “god, this looks pretty bad”, soo I then tried to make it look a bit better WITHOUT starting from zero again. And I did style it a bit better but I didn’t even like it. Like it felt like I hadnt even advanced at all, like if the same shitty fricking backend was the same from the past (probably noone would care because probably uhh noone cares.) [brains a weired and even more mine i guess, wawa]. So, naturally, i did the less sane thing, REDOING EVERYTHING again. Had to watch tutorials to relearn how use sass and picked up also some new css stuff that I wont even use (minus the layers! that pretty cool!!). And from that css stuff I discovered Oklch.. yes i swapped my whole color palette to that using their harmonizer that uses the equivalent of WCAG, APCA (contrast bg to text!). At least the frontend now looks decent (or the first blocks fo the website). sadly the only frcking shitting heckign parts ive made are the login (and register BUT THATS THE SAME). AWIT WAIT WAWA, I also swapped some gears in the BACKEND! I removed the login (username) entirely, now its just demoted to a non unique display name (for openid!). you must be asking why, because I changed it to use the login not long ago. Well, because I don’t have to force a user to give me a username AND their email on signup. Its easier to just give the email. And if you already have an account and hit, without knowing (our typical autopilot mode), the signup page, I can silently make a AuthChallenge for login instead of signup because both handlers return the same result. Then, after registering, I just force you to set a display name (by default its just the email, i could leave it like that but currently I want it to force you set a custom display name for OPENID). By doing that, I practically removed the “vectors” (ooh hackiry stuffiry) for user enumeration [those vectors were the endpoints to see if a login (username) or email was already taken] (I also made so the login endpoint gives you a fake challenge id when the email doesnt exist {This works thanks to having the auth exchange handlers return “invalid code” even if the challenge doesnt even exist}). here’s your screenshot of a login page that looks exactly like very other login page, maybe even shittier (sorry i am bad doing these kinds of things.)

EAch request eats 1 ticket AND the bucket tickets and refill rate can be set via the… middleware. who would have known wow. It always adds the typical “x-ratelimit-limit” bleh bleh bleh with all the info you can like that is useless BUT hey, its there for you. I like making my own stuffies because its cool.

Both are easy but for some goddamn reason I kept going circles and circles and honestly I dont even remember why anymore, like huh!? In the end I will only be doing ratelimits via IP because they are the easiest AND THEY DO NOT NEED TO be stored in the database. yes database, you read it right. IN this version of my backend I wanted to use the least things AAANd the oNly thing required is just the database to make everything. Adding redis would be waste (and waste of ram) for just storing the ratelimiter. Redis would be required if I wanted to run more than 1 instance of my application AND IF i wanted to distribute the info about “oh this guy is grounded, no entering the meow auth realm for 5 minutes” to all other running instances. BUTTT, as you might not see, I dont want to run more than instance nor want to distribute it to more instances if it were the case that I wnted to run more than 1 instance. Soo, I went in circles in my crapppy bird brain because to add ratelimits via the user id I would have to store the info somewhere that wouldnt be erased (like in the in-memmory storing that i will be using) or else the ratelimits would be useless because… THEY WOULD BE ERASED from this whole realm when the instance is restarted (memory goes boom to the void, so does the ratelimiter). That’s why I want to just implement the Ip based one, its the easiest one and the only one that I don’t care about loosing the information about the ratelimits when the instance is restarted. Also, i need to implement it yet lol i was just scrambling my head nuts and bolts hearing them clank while trying to ratchet them.

I first though about just having a bool saying “ah yeah admin” but meh, I think its better to have also an “actor_id”, the who did it user id, and boom. In the user side handlers for the audit log I just return the typical plain response of “yeah this was changed” (not sql joins, cheaper [?]) but in the admin side, I return the actor_id with some other things like the user login of the actor AND the user login of the user that was changed (cause why not!? its jsut another join statement in sql). Works wonderfully and even better now because before I had setup the user audit log to fetch AAAL the entries form the db and pee pee poo poo no, now that i have my paginated stuff, no way! SOO, the admin methods are just the typical ones, see what the user has changed or an admin changed from an user via its audit logs, the oauth applications and authorizations management and that’s it.

I also added the UserFlags to be able to set flags like “is the user an admin?” or “is this user allowed to manage its oauth applications?” and so on. Pretty cool.

WHY did i make it? idk man, i wanted because my bad coder brain thought that maybe someone could have more than 1 oauth application created (like a thousand) and that’s pretty bad for mr blue elephant database becuase that means eating 1000 rows in one go (and blue elephant doesnt like that, AND EVEN less if my vps has 1vcore and not really that much ram). SO, the best course of action was to make pagination to be able to cut in pieces the data and make it easier to load and handle.. even though the loaded rows are hardcoded (its 20 plus 1). The pagination practically works by seeing if there’s more data after 20 items (that’s why it has a “plus 1”!), if so, we take the LAST item’s id (using a trait to access it, because you can’t really know in what form or what id will be used in any database model) in those same 20 items to set the ‘next’ param.

As I said, I just redo’d everything and boom, simplified thigny you just call from the global state and boom, we do be working!

I did that to, in one part, give more use to my job manager and, to let all isntances update at the same time but big brain me did not think that a job is always locked to the instance that picks it up. also the token endpoint now supports using openid and spitting out a ‘id_token’ with the user info (some claims are gatekeept behind the scopes [like ‘profile’ or ‘email’ duh]). that’s it actually, like i started really pulling my hair, fluff, feathers whatever because I was trying to overcomplicate it a lot and i really dunno why. like, for another example, i kept swapping from the ‘jsonwebtokens’ and ‘compact_jwt’ crates because I wanted to use ES256 but didnt want the other because i never used it but then ended up using the latter because it was easier, and then that I wanted to use EC25519 which is apparently not really talked about in the rfcs (that’s why i ended up with ES256!

Basically, the same as always, traceback to try to understand what past me wanted to do, to then rework everything (or at least try) to unspaghettify those radiative peaces of code. So, practically it only the authorization method was half done and ugly, it was a big BIG monolithic method that did everything in a way that either past me or current me like at all because it takes a whole lotta things to work (8 to 9 argumentos lol).

added a better way to handle required authentication!… middleware. yup, i am very creative. it’s practically a qol improvement in the development side, making code look a bit nicer without seeing in every single protected route the same 3 lines to check if the user is authenticated. now i can “enforce” it when I want the user to be reallly unauthenticated to use a route. to use it, you just “add the middleware and maybe move one flag” and that’s it… goddamit I should have had that before to not write a heck ton of “if not authenticated or if authenticated…”. i am trying to delay the inevitable.. the need of making the oauth side and the frontend ;D

AAAH, sorry, did i startle you?

yayy! the first step of making oauth2 alive has been made. I rewrote the tiny part of the authorization handler of the oauth2 flow… there’s not much to it! It did took a while to reunderstand it because of how long I wrote it (2 months ago) and that I wrote it in a rush (and didn’t even make it work). Basically, the same as always, traceback to try to understand what past me wanted to do, to then rework everything (or at least try) to unspaghettify those radiative peaces of code. So, practically it only the authorization method was half done and ugly, it was a big BIG monolithic method that did everything in a way that either past me or current me like at all because it takes a whole lotta things to work (8 to 9 argumentos lol). In the end i just splitted the big MONOLITHIC (thick) method into two of the same kind but with at least clear and defined and bleh jobs. One when the user has already authorized the client and the other when he has never touched it in its life. I also did some qol for my self (or i think i did, probs not because it was already bad and rushed and stuff… i already said it at the start) with the oauth helpers and stuff by also prettifying them and simplying parts that I really don’t know why I added. Like I added mr “OauthResponse” which, as the name implies, makes the oauth response (redirect, plain error, error with redirect) instead of the 3 different methods I had to use to do the same thing, easier is better (and even understandable!). Ah, and i even tried to use strum but nope, it do not cut the job (it tries to cut the wall instead of the thing i want). NOW, sHALl the work continue to make the token making handler and then the OpenID stuff that may be a bit difficult because, with my shitty reading, i think ill have to juggle making jwks and stuffies to server correctly the food for the picky openid. here’s the video that shows, confusingly, that indeed the handler works (It does a “hi, oh you want to authenticate with ‘poop’, let me create a pending authentication. Oh! you accepted the consent, let me delete the pending one and create the actual lasting consent for ‘poop’.). god, i am so bad at coding or whatever the this is:
you know? i love debugging my code when the error was the entire time in the db. great job me!!!! I’ve made the token handler. again, as other devlogs, that’s all folks. Stupid me couldnt figure out why client secret was always bad, why the mr code verifier was always bad when it was the same as the stored one aaand why the heck scopes werent showing. i really do love that my code, practically, worked first try (MY CODE >:3). But did NOT love that i am still stupid and forgot that i had a database that works as the house for the data that my app ingests. god i am smart. time to go suffer with openid i guess. i have to touch jwt and stuff, eugh.. i like my opaque tokens more than jwts, because IF you want to revoke one of them you still HAVE TO STORE A LIST OF IDS… that defeats the whole hecking purpose dude, not worth it (or that’s what i think for now, smh i am just a space birb claking at keys). here’s your video that shows that it does work and gives the bearer opaque token and creates the db entry:
oh hi, did not know that you are really reading this. I added the openid stuff! Well not all of it, I still need to do the ‘userinfo’ endpoint but meh, it works as it should. I also added the cool JWK (the secret key [ES256] that is used to sign the JWTs) rotation stuff, which I can say that I tried at first over complicating it to then end up simplifying it because it was A HELL to use like you had to call a thousand hecking things or in one method give a thousand arguments (its an overestimation, probs not real [shy of 5, it wasnt generic, it was attached to the token flow] :3), it was a pain to use and IT EVEN GAVE ME a burn mark. As I said, I just redo’d everything and boom, simplified thigny you just call from the global state and boom, we do be working! The JWKs are rotated every 2 months, and the old one is retired at the same time. After 1 month, the retired one is deleted. So, at any given time, there’s a maximum of 2 keys, the current one and the retired one. The retired one, as the name implies, is not used to sign new tokens but is still valid to verify old token. And all of this is fetched at startup and then via a scheduled job it is updated. AND as you might have (NOT) guessed the JWKs are stored in the database, so if you have multiple instances of mah meow meow server running, they all share the same JWKs and rotate… OH GOD THEY DO NOT ROTATE THEM AT THE SAME TIME GODDAMIT AAAGH.. the intention was there okay? I did that to, in one part, give more use to my job manager and, to let all isntances update at the same time but big brain me did not think that a job is always locked to the instance that picks it up. also the token endpoint now supports using openid and spitting out a ‘id_token’ with the user info (some claims are gatekeept behind the scopes [like ‘profile’ or ‘email’ duh]). that’s it actually, like i started really pulling my hair, fluff, feathers whatever because I was trying to overcomplicate it a lot and i really dunno why. like, for another example, i kept swapping from the ‘jsonwebtokens’ and ‘compact_jwt’ crates because I wanted to use ES256 but didnt want the other because i never used it but then ended up using the latter because it was easier, and then that I wanted to use EC25519 which is apparently not really talked about in the rfcs (that’s why i ended up with ES256! [also supported on compact_jwt]). AH! and also in the job queue, for the JWK rotation, I wanted first to add cron job for that but… why tho, I don’t really need it, I just need a way to NOT run a job until a specific time and then reschedule it inside the same worker. here’s the shitty screenshots showing the oh wow ‘openid configuration’, oh wowie ‘it does output tokens and id_token’, oh thats nice ‘it does give out a valid jwt with valid claims that the programmer didn’t even do themselves because they used a library called compact_jwt’ and wow ‘it does have a job that tries to autorotate if the current key is older than two months’:
I made the User Info handler for the open id stuff. that’s the end of it. It works, wahoo my self yay good job, even though you had pretty much bad scrambled code, you did it hahaha. It practically, as the openid spec says, returns the claims used also on the id_token. Soo, because its sooo close to the id_token, i’ve decided to just eat the that same id_token but spit out a converted version with things I want. I also added the typical OauthManager and RequiresOauth. the latter one not having a param to decide what scopes you want because, whhy would you want that?! its just a one liner and it may change for each hecking endpoint or even the data the endpoint returns. its just over complicating it with wrapped trash. … and about my devlogs, i realized that mine are pretty bad and not interesting like other people’s devlogs. i simply write weird and long ones. but i don’t want to write a simple “I did this, commits, hardness of implementing, whatever” in bullet points like other people do. i dunno it feels flat like this devlog. Here’s you typical SINGLE screenshot showing that the user info works, that’s it:
hi, hello i am space birb in the sad corner and i am here to tell you that i added the the typical oauth management handlers that everything has. I also added a generic paginated database thingy to be able to make… pages when there’s more than 20 items (rows). firstly, everything was easy. yes, no rocks not nothing that could set me on fire… minus that I HAD TO MAKE a paginated database thingy. WHY did i make it? idk man, i wanted because my bad coder brain thought that maybe someone could have more than 1 oauth application created (like a thousand) and that’s pretty bad for mr blue elephant database becuase that means eating 1000 rows in one go (and blue elephant doesnt like that, AND EVEN less if my vps has 1vcore and not really that much ram). SO, the best course of action was to make pagination to be able to cut in pieces the data and make it easier to load and handle.. even though the loaded rows are hardcoded (its 20 plus 1). The pagination practically works by seeing if there’s more data after 20 items (that’s why it has a “plus 1”!), if so, we take the LAST item’s id (using a trait to access it, because you can’t really know in what form or what id will be used in any database model) in those same 20 items to set the ‘next’ param. That ‘next’ param is used to.. quite literally say “hi, uh could you give me the next rows after this id pretty please?” and boom works and i didnt set my self on fire but i did ruffle my feathers a bit because of. Ill probably implement it to more places because the only places that use it are the oauth applications and user sessions because i am a bit lazy haha (i mean, its just C&P the current find_many* and use the pagination stuff and caboosh). oh god, i forgot about the oauth consent management. great job me, NOW IT ISNT COMPLETE “everything” great coder i am great big bird brain. My next plans are just to do some general cleanup with the openapi schema, add comments to the code and then start doing the frontend in mr sveltekit.. although i am too rusty in ts land and i will have to learn some stuff again and touch again scss and stuffies and god, i am going to get cooked in the sun and roasted like the space birb i am because of me no longer touching anything javascript. here’s your really useless screenshots showing the INCOMPLETE oauth management handlers and the pagination thingy working:
hi and welcome to my unreadable journals. I added those oauth authorized applications management handlers that I forgot to add yesterday, like the typical “oh let me see what scopes does this thing use… OH GOD IT CAN SEE MY fur color I MUST revoke it NOW!11”. Then I moved AAAL the handlers that touched ME user data to the.. obvious /me route so its prettier and doesnt pollute the air of the real auth related things. and did some cleanup in the http error department by merging some repeated errors. god this is one of the shorter entries i’ve made i think. next up is doing ratelimting, probably roles or just an admin api and the “hey your account has been locked because of repeated tries to login”. i dont even know what will it take to make tests work god. here’s your shitty screenshot showing my only progress, the oauth management bleh bleh bleh:
hello again, its a me, a random space birb that is here to tell you that I completly forgot about the ratelimiting stuff. BUUT, I added the admin methods and UserFlags to be able to set… flags. not much rodeo this time. had to think how i wanted the audit logs to work for the admin stuff. I first though about just having a bool saying “ah yeah admin” but meh, I think its better to have also an “actor_id”, the who did it user id, and boom. In the user side handlers for the audit log I just return the typical plain response of “yeah this was changed” (not sql joins, cheaper [?]) but in the admin side, I return the actor_id with some other things like the user login of the actor AND the user login of the user that was changed (cause why not!? its jsut another join statement in sql). Works wonderfully and even better now because before I had setup the user audit log to fetch AAAL the entries form the db and pee pee poo poo no, now that i have my paginated stuff, no way! SOO, the admin methods are just the typical ones, see what the user has changed or an admin changed from an user via its audit logs, the oauth applications and authorizations management and that’s it. I will probably also add a way to know globally what the heck is being changed but idk about that, seems a big sql query (that is tiny but very costly in db terms) and I frankly want to avoid that… and even more avoid using redis because i hate it and that SOMEHOW i have better some beautiful organized code vs the first version of this backend where I used the typical DB+redis aaand it was ugly . i hate that. I also added the UserFlags to be able to set flags like “is the user an admin?” or “is this user allowed to manage its oauth applications?” and so on. Pretty cool. BUUT as always, I had to C&P some code (almost all of it) from past handlers to make the admin handlers work lol. I would really want to make a central place to put all the common handler code but meh. IT WORKS! and that’s what matters. THe next things are just making the ratelimiting WHICCHC probably will be only inside the instance the user is reaching and that’s it. I would like to have global ratelimiting using the IP of the user or its account id but that would (i think) require redis… I really need to think about this because someone with a crappy toaster can make explode my poor baby vps. ps. god do I really take that much time doing stuff? god i am slow at coding. i am bad goddamit. that’s it. shallllll you see my shiitty api docs with the admin stuff and admin auditlogs becuase why not:
wow. that’s a long time doing nothing. I just updated the deps, tera had a change on its templating because it was rewritten from the ground up. pretty cool, now it kinda looks like jsx and at the same time not. I also tried or well… I am thinking about making my own ratelimiter but was like, ugh. I was practically mega blocked on the idea of wanting a ratelimiter that used the IP + UserId. Both are easy but for some goddamn reason I kept going circles and circles and honestly I dont even remember why anymore, like huh!? In the end I will only be doing ratelimits via IP because they are the easiest AND THEY DO NOT NEED TO be stored in the database. yes database, you read it right. IN this version of my backend I wanted to use the least things AAANd the oNly thing required is just the database to make everything. Adding redis would be waste (and waste of ram) for just storing the ratelimiter. Redis would be required if I wanted to run more than 1 instance of my application AND IF i wanted to distribute the info about “oh this guy is grounded, no entering the meow auth realm for 5 minutes” to all other running instances. BUTTT, as you might not see, I dont want to run more than instance nor want to distribute it to more instances if it were the case that I wnted to run more than 1 instance. Soo, I went in circles in my crapppy bird brain because to add ratelimits via the user id I would have to store the info somewhere that wouldnt be erased (like in the in-memmory storing that i will be using) or else the ratelimits would be useless because… THEY WOULD BE ERASED from this whole realm when the instance is restarted (memory goes boom to the void, so does the ratelimiter). That’s why I want to just implement the Ip based one, its the easiest one and the only one that I don’t care about loosing the information about the ratelimits when the instance is restarted. Also, i need to implement it yet lol i was just scrambling my head nuts and bolts hearing them clank while trying to ratchet them. ALSO², i need to redo the email stuff because my brain has came up with a cool design lol but first gotta do the frontend to make it uhh look good before suffering making the email components. I also started to hate the tera zed language extension. its crap. bad crap the worst one. ALSO, here’s your really useless screenshot this time showing code that you can already see on the github page (yay!1):
right, its a me! the teeny tiny waist sized space birb that is here to tell you that I added the ratelimiter! It works just as i’ve explained in the last entry, it uses the IP of the user to limit the amount of requests via a ticket bucket. THe bucket is stored in memory, as again said before, so if the instance is restarted, goodbye ratelimits. EAch request eats 1 ticket AND the bucket tickets and refill rate can be set via the… middleware. who would have known wow. It always adds the typical “x-ratelimit-limit” bleh bleh bleh with all the info you can like that is useless BUT hey, its there for you. I like making my own stuffies because its cool. THe root has a limit of 500 requests, refilling after 1 second. While the auth routes have a limit of 10 (sudo) and 20 (auth flows) requests, refilling after 1 minute. The other routes are just uhh protected under the umbrella of the root ratelimiter lol, no need for having to add a ratelimiter to every single route (god). that’s it. there’s no more devlog. Now what i gotta start doing is the frontend. I will cry a bit because I am VERY very VEEERY rustified in the typescript department like I never touch it but meh I MUST do a frontend or else this is incomplete… and i will do be crying if i send it off in a incomplete state. THE frontend will be in svelte kit, because its cool and ive already used it in the last iteration and it left me with a good taste in my forked tongue (hahaha, i am space birb) AND thanks that Ive been using from the start utoipa to add an openapi schema, I can use it easily to make requests from the frontend! and i didnt need to suffer adding them after everything was done just like in the past iteration! here’s your useless screenshot showing teh ratelimiter working and the headers and stuffies… god i am a mediocre at best writting long hecking devlogs for nothing:
oopsy. shoooort one, sorry. I added the forgotten oauth error StatusCodes and Descriptions. there’s not much to it lol, I just forgot about it. as always, here’s your even uselesser screenshot with code taht you can already see in the guthub:
a. hi there mr svelte! I was wondering if I should be drafting first a design in figma but meh. I like to suffer and make bad designs that progress very slowly to look mediocre at best! yay!1!! anyways, ill be using scss as always (i frankly done even remember anything about it lol) and sveltekit. HERE’S YOUR stupid “hello world” from slevetkt (reaaly useful devlog):
hi hello. oh, ive been 10 hours doing the same thing!!1 god. So, I was doing the frontend design without using figma and uhh yes. And also removed the ability to use your login to.. login to the app. You just use your email (otp, and passkeys). First, I forgot how to use figma, I only remember some shortcuts. I was going to use it (for frontend and logos) but seeing how struggled to make simple things, I only used it to swap the colors of the logo of MEOW AUTH, hmm yes, very meow. . The frontend stuff… I frankly ALSO do not remember anything.. or well I do now remember some things thanks to me fighting to uncenter a div hah. The stack is practically svelte, as always, client rendered and scss (sassy :o) for the styling. In the start I was just going to use the same styling and structure of my first iteration of this project, beepauth (ew), and after doing all of that I thought “god, this looks pretty bad”, soo I then tried to make it look a bit better WITHOUT starting from zero again. And I did style it a bit better but I didn’t even like it. Like it felt like I hadnt even advanced at all, like if the same shitty fricking backend was the same from the past (probably noone would care because probably uhh noone cares.) [brains a weired and even more mine i guess, wawa]. So, naturally, i did the less sane thing, REDOING EVERYTHING again. Had to watch tutorials to relearn how use sass and picked up also some new css stuff that I wont even use (minus the layers! that pretty cool!!). And from that css stuff I discovered Oklch.. yes i swapped my whole color palette to that using their harmonizer that uses the equivalent of WCAG, APCA (contrast bg to text!). At least the frontend now looks decent (or the first blocks fo the website). sadly the only frcking shitting heckign parts ive made are the login (and register BUT THATS THE SAME). AWIT WAIT WAWA, I also swapped some gears in the BACKEND! I removed the login (username) entirely, now its just demoted to a non unique display name (for openid!). you must be asking why, because I changed it to use the login not long ago. Well, because I don’t have to force a user to give me a username AND their email on signup. Its easier to just give the email. And if you already have an account and hit, without knowing (our typical autopilot mode), the signup page, I can silently make a AuthChallenge for login instead of signup because both handlers return the same result. Then, after registering, I just force you to set a display name (by default its just the email, i could leave it like that but currently I want it to force you set a custom display name for OPENID). By doing that, I practically removed the “vectors” (ooh hackiry stuffiry) for user enumeration [those vectors were the endpoints to see if a login (username) or email was already taken] (I also made so the login endpoint gives you a fake challenge id when the email doesnt exist {This works thanks to having the auth exchange handlers return “invalid code” even if the challenge doesnt even exist}). here’s your screenshot of a login page that looks exactly like very other login page, maybe even shittier (sorry i am bad doing these kinds of things.) [also you have the logo colors, i went with purple because it looks cool and its a cool color] {the “Psst, over here” its just a random greeting, just like the ones i have in the emails} [[sorry for wasting 10 hours doing nothing]]:
i am ashamed. i am that bad or… well ive gotten to the point of real badness and what some call “skill issue” because I CANT make this hecking frontend. its just too hard, i am just way more slower than before and what i though i was. i hate that i am not usign tailwindcss and isntead I am building my own scss styles IN @layer when i could have been using svelte components with the style tag but ugh bad decisions that can be still reverted i guess. For the layout of the settings, i even tried copying how I did it in the last iteration of this frontend (past server, not named meow auth).. i just did not like it because using a sidebar for this teeny tiny amount of information is wasteful (like this tiny [not really tiny] space birb). Like the content is just the typical name, email, auditlog, 2fa, passkeys, sessions, oauth authorizations and user created oauth apps AND lets not forget about the admin panel. i am practically suffering with mundane crap that anyone can have done in probably 10 minutes by asking mr claude or even chatgpt OR even just copying an already made layout, but here i am suffering trying to make stuff my own way, telling my self that this was the worst decision i’ve made goddamit… at this point i will really become a hotpot space birb soup.. i just need one layout made and then it should be an easy job to then copy and paste to other tabs. then the enxt step is to wire it up the forms and have it communicate to the backend which should be an easy task (i think [… oh god please be easy])… i know this entries of the frontend will make my project go into deflation mode and stuff, and i even broken a promise that ive made my self to not make devlogs that are more than 5h long because of a review someone made of my project when i submitted it unfinished to flavourtown (yes, flavortown) which is sad but it is what is. you cant be perfect, that’s why i have a shit hecking design. i am just bad, a bad space bird i guess. i already rambled too much in this suppossedly simple devlog. here’s your half crap “inspiration” that I used to (quite literally did a C&P of the page) of my past proyect using a sidebar (not what i want with this iteration) and the current state of art of my REALLY REALLY SHITTY curernt state page:
in the end i gave up in the design or well… can you even call it “design” when it was ugly even at teh start? yes, i tried my best at making it look “good” in my own eyes but i could not for the love of birds. it was bad anyways, like actually bad. I, to make it easy for my self and be able to copy how other people do it because i am a lazy bastard (stupid space birb that klanks its keyboard for nothing), will be using the typical two columns for each section. One for “what the heck is this section for” and the other for the actual content (wow). man, i hate how the frontend is where i struggle the most when the backend should be where i should have struggled the most, not with this dude. agh. I also hate HOW i thought the layout i wanted initially was the best one and that i look great when in reality it was an aberration that didnt even look good and it really threw to the trash the unused space bruh. it just wasnt for this job, maybe for something else.. idk haha, what I know is that I think it already looks better with the simple sutff ive done lol [that’s sad btw :)]. as you may see int eh screen shooting, the audit log section instead of having a table it uses a… placeholder for a button with the same content it has currently because I frankly i am scared of making tables because of the probable difficulty i will have (because I am already struggling with teh simplest of things!). ALSO, i need to stop making .scss files, compounded into a single css file using @layer and @use , to just use svelte components that use the style tag. it really doesnt change anything, but atleast i wont be doing “class=‘meow’” each time i want something, just using “” is half better lol (doesnt really fix anything, I just want to give use the svelte components). finally, i am planning to use “services”.. they arent really services but more about wrappers around the openapi client. less manual labor for some shitty stuff that i wont need to do anymore. Still, its just a wrapper with nicer method names and namespaces. (also, ill be adding profile pictures. didnt think i would be adding them tho) here’s the typical dumb screenshot of what i think that looks “good” without doing that much work:
haha 10 days later. no progress just me rambling and going in circles. I am a bad space birb. RIGHT! I just were converting the css stuff into svelte components using the style tag (and the preprocessor duh). That’s actually it, quite literally. No progress at all. Wasted time on, still, falling on the loop of trying to get something that “looks good”, but i dont reall know what i want in reality. ofc i try to get “inspiratainionion” from other websites and try to mix them together to then dislike the result, undo and rinse and repeat (at this point my fur and feather soaked hard on water). YOu may imagine it as thinking that you ahve a finish line when you done even know where it is. i will just try to make the frontend work first without thinking about the design… AND i cant even promise THAT! because i will probbaly spiral into the same loop once again (saying oh this looks bad blah bleh bleh). god i am bad at making frontends or evne design or everything, but thats how people learn haha. it is a lesson that i should learn from now on.. i keep judging my work too harsly but i dont know. frontend is just harder for me. here’s the useless non functional three pages that atleast have something layout:
would you look at that! Finnaly some functional pages with forms, ALmost finalized components… oh they are just the login pages….. and its not even all of the auth pages, just selected ones so the auth flow barely works. BUT, THIS fLuffy (not fluffy) space bird has finalllizated converting (or thinks) the classes i had as global styles into beautiful svelte components with all those stars and happy things. happily, i am longer limited by having evertyhign in global space.. oh right, RIGHT. i wasnt even limited :). AND the coolest compponent of all of them is the spinner one because it spins. The first pages have been plugged into an outlet called SuperForms (not really super, mostly helping to validate)! thanks to that, we now have working forms that post to the backend! with all those classic things, red colors and form validation. but, how I THE unfluffy space bird is pushing envelopes with the form inside of it? by talking to my backend obviously! but not manually (doign every step each time manually), by using a library like the trusty openapi-fetch that eats the openapi schema of the server i used in the past iteration. BUT i trashed it into the.. trash because I was fed up by having to repeat a thousand times the same snippet of code in each form or even page (I could have used a service like class to make it easier tho!). it was swapped by Orval! Orval works with the same openapi schema BUT gives methods! No more repeating the same things, just use the method and boom. and also that openapi-fetch was mad that i used a more recent typescript version. ANND, finally, the auth context was upgraded with a leg made of clay so it can now parse the BITENUM flags of, for example, the user (UserFlags) that tell what is enabled and what is not, if you didnt remember. Its practically a generic class with everything that i considered necessary that must be extended to be able to use it. and that’s it. you may watch the shittiest video ever that just shows that it kinda works with the forms and logging in and that’s it with still mocked things:
well hello again. space birb presents you the next devlog. I cleaned up the forms a bit (they are a still bit TOO messy ugly but they do work), REDID the ugly flags class to be a more EEEASIER TO WROK WITH (i dont even know how it worked before lol) and FINALIZED the auth pages! RIGHT right, first frontend. I finally finalized the most basic and empty and everything pages of the frontend! wahoo mee :). these pages practically include the otp one and the 2fa one (+ recovery).. and i just realized that i forgot about the passkey one, great so now it isnt finished (fried space bird thingy). Redid the pin component so it works with my Input form component AND also fixed some weired quicks of the pin component in phones (for some reason, my phone, didnt respect the max lenght of the input. i just sliced the value of the input on my max length lol). And finally, the frontend now has the most precious bit of any… i dont know. i just added the typical dropdown componetn for the avatars (yes, this was important for me). while on the backend, because mr past moon made some weired decisions, the 2FA recovery code generator and giver of the code the state was a messy mess that I frankly dont know if I even tested it, because it accepted wrong codes? i dont even remember if it worked haha in the past BUT now it works as it should and its at least better readable with normal method names (not plainly “recovery” [… what does that mean anyway!?? you would need to look at the code to understand it! and that’s bad]). ah, the typical moment has arrived, the one i always repeat. HERE’s your happily working auth pages for once, plus the “want to retry the email sending?”, the passkey one is still missing but that’s just slapping some paint (and painting my self) and boom (whhile this is practically the same as the past devlog, it just works better than the past devlog lol):
would you look at that, 10h… i love wasting time. Now THIS thing fetches some bits of data like the audit log, my passkeys, adding those and even modifying the username (you are forced to do it)! BUT big buty, i had to add the mr /signup/complete where you set your prefered username, like moon (its a me!), or else the backend will straight up refuse anything you want to do. AFTER changing it, you can do everything else a normal user can [by Default the username is just the user’s email AND THAT IS NOT PRETTY AT ALL >:(] FIRST OF all i grabbed my magic cup for tea and made the audit log page (it does not even have anything special)! .. oh right, for that i needed to know how the heck you even send requests with tanstack. so uhh,, blah bleh bluh wawa BOOM i now know how to call a method and get my data back AAnd even make infinite fetchers (IT kinda hates my way of giving data [its wrapped in {3} onion layers {request.data.data.data}, the ones that make you cry a bit]). i also synced my auth state with the tanstack client so it doesnt do two trips every time. okay now. TO make the audit log thingy, i did some beautiful matching so the type, creation and guy who did the action (probably the user) are actually human readable with a limit of 8 items (or else the /me page would be as long as this project’s crappy devlogs). When there’s more, a beautiful “view more” button appears (separate page). For this, so called “view more” page, i used the infinite queries. while at first i just puuushed the data into the dom with the #each (svelte thingy), chrome do be VERY very mad when there’s a lot of entries in there (The audit log, because it logs actions in your account, can get very huge. Because actions like the baddie Session action logs each time you log in or log out), SOO i did what someone whose browser is eating more than 10gb does, using a virtual list to render the it! (IT only renders items when they are visible, hidding [removing from the dom] non visible ones. this fixes the “OH gosh THOSE 200 things THAT I CANT EVEN SEE, ARE EATING MY precious ram”). OHh and you can press ESC to leave the page because i made a cool component that lets me plug in a callback for specific keyboard events :D. SECOND, the passkey stuff. yeah, pretty easy thanks to libraries like SimpleWebAuthn that do the hard work of telling the browser “hey, authenticate this guy please” or “hiya, registrate this passkey please”. its just querying what passkys you have to know… hwat passkeys you have and that’s it. BUT sadly, an actually sadly, my passkeys are non resident (I cant have a simple button to just login, I need you email before i can use the passkey). Thaaat means I havea teeny big tiny small user enumaration problemo becuase the backend can reveal that an user has a passkey registered and, in turn, we know that user is registered. a bad guy can just atack with “oh noes, your passkey has been stolen. pls give a undecillion of moneys”. third, i had to add the sudo page. It does what you think, reauthenticate to do sensitive operations like adding a passkey. Pretty simple, it redirects directly to an email code if the user does not have a passkey or totp enabled (email code is always enabled), if they have those, it just shows a selection screen. fourth, i had to fix up some stupid things with the api schema of the backend becuase I either forgot to put a body on the responses (like the passkey/webauthn routes) or just fix up a teeeeeny tiny setting thing that wasnt correct (its the webauthn/passkey rp_origin [allowed pages to register/use a passkey} becuase it jsut used the backend url and THAT is not correct). so tahat’s it, shall you see some stupid screenshots and not even a video because i havent even finished everything:
hi hello this is space bird. i have eaten 9h hours of real world time in just making the dialog component. I mean, IT WAS for making the 2FA prompts for when you wanted to enable it or disable and bleh bluh.. atleast it does look great… and i still need to add icons. the prompt is just the typical 2fa enable that gives you a qr or the 2fa secret if you cant scan the qr. The dialog component was pretty much made in nothing, in air time (free :D). the thing that took a bit was just the styling BUT WAHT did take a BIG LOOOT of time was just making the 2FA dialogs. lik gha damn hecking “2FA prompt” and “beep boop enabling dialogs”.. why?! becuase they are PACKED like a lasagna with forms, tanstack fetching, dialog steps and other stupid stuff to make it atleast not confusing for the user to navigate with tree sized buttons that dont work (becuase you are on the wrong step!!!!1 or already did everything lol). i mean, besides that custom stuff, it just reuses components like the pin or qr svg and… for now, also uses the spinner icon on the buttons you click to manage 2fa as i couldnt be asked to add real icons for now (leaving them for lasts). next up working work is more dialogs (for the passkey setup [so it isnt just a spinner without any “magic guideance”]), a collapsible comp to wrap the info items to show EVENTUALLY some metadata like, in the session items, browser, ip, what user was that did that thing and etc. Its just so i dont balloon the “info items” BECaUSE they are supposed to be some kind of “quick info”. broom brroom, i love wasting time on these stupid things (and wiring them!) >:3. LEAVING that tiny goofy work that apparently took hours to do. I am thinking and WILL be doing a beautiful swap into using resident passkeys (the ones that dont require me to know the user’s email in advance). yes, i know i said before that i dont wanted and ew ew resident. but man, its just easier for the end user to click a magical button to login directly. AND AND this even protects me from someone slapping the meowbackend with the email fish to see who is registered (with a passkey) by checking if the user’s email makes the selector appear. still, some part of me still thinks this is really bad idea but i want to do it tho… what could go wrong hah! i might aswell go to the cooking pot already and make some uhh chicken soup made of space birb. that’s it, i still feel like i havent done anything. Here’s your beautiful video of showing the beautiful dialog going “hi” “goodbye” (the video shows me enabling 2fa, viewing recovery codes and disabling it [with a recovery code]):
hi hello hiiii, stupid space birb back from long bed sleep break. CATCHING UP, i have swapped to resident passkeys, fixed jwk refresh feature not working, beautified toml settings, added 2fa replay protection and audit log beautification. alright.. prepare for a long boring devlog as always. I finally swapped to resident passkeys after thinking about it for days (hours)! That means.. NO MORE user enumeration problemo with passkeys, yippie. it wasnt really a pain in the feathered buttocks, like it was just enabling a crate flag and boomy boom (and it even works on the frontend!). also, i patched with scotch tape a stupid buggy bug about the email templates, becuase I used a lazylock to store the email templater engine stuffy, when SOME random goofy template or data was wrong for whatever reason, it would poison the lazylock and the next time it was used it would just say “oh noes, i am broken, poisoned my childs. GO HECK YOUR SELF”… i just fixed the template part by checking if tera likes them in the global state creation. i love scotch tape, it smells great. while doing that, i finally addressed the beautiful jwks not updating on all instances because in MY JOB QUEUE only one running server instance can eat the job. that means, if you have 2 instances running, the one that is the unfortunate one that didnt eat the job will have stale jwks until the next time it is restarted. fixed it with some beautiful blue elephant database screaming “HEY GUYS, THE JWKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED” and the other instances will be like “oh, okay, i will update my beautiful jwks now”. finally, 2fa, or as i like to call it, TOTP, has been taken cared like a baby and then thrown again to the battle field after giving it the power up of replay protection. That means, if you use a code, it will be marked as used and you cant use it again (this only works with valid codes). makes you wait more smh. THE SETTINGS got a layer of microscopic makeup because i was like “man, these setting name are weired? what if the settings file had comments to know what the heck is this beautiful knob named ‘do_not_touch_this’”. yes i did that. it was a big red booty pain as i had rerereremember how to do proc_macros and how the heck did i even update the toml files with new entries without making them implode with gibrish. AND WE ALL KNOW NOW that ‘do_not_touch_this’ is a setting that if you set it to true, it will make this space birb implode in flames and become dust (yes, like a real firework going CHIRPAAAAAAAAAAAH pop ). and the final thing given some body work spray was the audit log. no more caveman moonbeeper style ‘log’ method with a thousand things. now we have the SAME thing but as a builder with a ‘save’ method. it just makes the code easier to read and understand. also, the audit log now has a “what resource¿” and “what ip?” and i removed the audit entry making from inside the auth helpers to outside. it was just an inconvenient place to put it, i dont evne know why would moonbeeper put it there… oh right i am moonbeeper. I DID IT BECAUSE it was a great place in those times. alright, HERE’s your typical bad screenshots that are trashign and god i am sleepy:
pew pew cabosh, wawah space birb is very sleepy. BREAKING NEWS, i added and changed a lot of things so i could make a delicious soup of changes that changed my old changed code that i yes. minimal frontend work called making the passkey section button go crazy with colors, authenticator icon (just search “aaguid explorer”, its not crazy work) and having a dialog telling “hi do you want to rename this, no? okay”. I also have collapsibles that hide info from your lil nonfluffy face when its useless. Now my crappy server knows from where you are connecting (who would have known that a server could know that) and where you live (oh no [its approximated from your ip]). THe latter only works when the instance is proxied under cloudflare (it even gets mad if a request doesnt have the headers it wants when you have enabled the “under cloudflare” mode). the audit log single method to do everything™ has been swapped with a builder (i love this), AND its info now includes that same ip and location (actor related [who did it]). all fields are now obligatory for… audit log purposes, because before i just pushed null on the db for things i didnt want to show the user MAKING a pretty stinker audit log that does not show who did what. i really dont know whata past me thought, because you can keep everything on the db and just show what you want to the user. idk, past me thinking in uhm not portals (yes). okay, more slurry of things. mah beautiful fix so the JWKS (signing keys used to… sign a jwt! [important for OpenID]) update when the database JWKS changed, spammed the hell out of the db and log as it polled instead of waiting for the db (or an instance) to say “I UPDATED IT GUYSS!1”!1”. This comes from the instances cache’ing JWKS instead of saying “could you repeat that” to the db (too many requests = blue elephant cry and explosions), so they need to know when the db changes or THEY WILL BE out of sync!! mr past me also thought that it was a good idea to store the oauth token code (used to get an access token) in plaintext in the muffing db, SMTH YOU SHOULDNT AT ALL DO. now its just hashed via hmac just like everything else. man i am GOOOD at this job of so called programming, having to go back to edit a thing i called done AND then HAVINGTO edit and edit and edit. this is so fun that I WILL BURST into FLAMES because of how stoopid i am meanwhile, you also have me deserving to be cooked with rice because I made a condition in the oauth token exchange that when SOMEONE somehow miss types or gets access to the oauth token code but has the wrong client_id, the temporary code gets deleted… and you know what i forgot? i forgot to commit the changes to the db, so the code never was deleted lol. i love these kind of stupid goofy pain errors that arent even errors. AALSO I reprettyfied the oauth helpers because after working on them a long time ago, i didnt know what were they doing and it wasnt fun nor funny >:( [i was mad {i am still mad, with that space birb… i want to sentence past moon to sad corner jail for 12 seconds}]. NOW teeny tiny additions!“1 the ratelimiter now exposes a “Retry-After” per a hacker news old moldy article i found, plus exposes its headers on cors. the audit log now does its job even in more parts! now it also tracks the totp recovery code usage [i frankly forgot about it :(].Changing your email or name now requires sudo minus the name on register. AND the app startup has now a beautiful banner saying “meow auth” in cursive. its pretty :3, makes it stylishinning. I also moved and added to the service manager (the watcher) a way to have service names and to launch services from inside of it (for some reason i used a method that was outof place for ages lol). oh no my time has come nnonono, i give you permission to see my trashy work in screenshot format (so modern)… yet i shall push towards completion of this meowing meow meow authing meow auth server:...

PCB TIME I just finished my design for my pcb and started learning fusion. Yikes ;) Let me know how this looks
FINALLY! I finished writing all of the code for my macropad today. (I love procrastinating Fusion :) The macropad has a couple of functions. The rotary encoder will switch the layers on KMK. (0-2 right now but planned expansion to 0-4) The leds will light up according to the layer as well as all change color. The oled screen (up top) will display the current layer, an image, and the functions on the layer. On each layer the 4 different keys will do different functions They are as such: Copy, Paste, Redo, and redo. CTRL + F, clipboard, File explorer, and Screenshot. Pause/unpause, mute/unmute discord mic, defen discord, mute pc.
Fusion! Started making the case for my macropad
Case work! Hey hey hey, I know it has been like three months but I can explain… Why so long? Well to be honest, I do NOT like fusion. I hate geometry and by extension cad. This project is my first time ever doing it so it took a lot of youtube videos, advise, and procrastination to get here. The Case: The case is pretty simple, it has the top piece with cutouts for the OLED, rotary encoder, keys, as well as holes for the LEDs to shine through. (I will fillet everything at the end) It also has holes for the heat inserts to melt into. The bottom case has the actual walls of the case, holes for the screws, standoffs for the pcb, as well as the USB C cutout. This is definitely not my cup of tea, so please let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Prepare for Shipping CAD: Man this project has taught me how much I hate fusion 😭. But I had to learn it eventually right? I added a 45 degree one inch feet to match with my keyboard. I also added small insert holes for me to put rubber feet (or more realistically hot glue). PCB: I spent some time error checking and making the pcb production ready. I created my own footprint for the XAOI to get it to fit on my pcb. I wanted the USB to stick out to reduce the length of cable required to go in. Github: I started putting all of the files on GitHub, check it out! My Github
Final Devlog Before Ship Hey guys! I am so excited to get this macropad built. I finished setting up the gihub repo and added pictures and I am going to submit my design for review. Wish me Luck!!!...

I then add a crypto extension which allows you to generate a uuid or hash or even encode and decode bas64 and so on. those were the easy parts then it came to me that I should make a cool feature so I decided to build func[auto] well make it usefull and bring trigger to life too. and with this I sadly announce that func[onetime] is no more.

After days of fighting procrastination and boredom. I failed. and then when I opened up my old project I failed to feel any fun. this made my concerned for I deeply love my projects. so I scrambled my brain and I realized the project was too easy and too simple it wasn’t challenging. It didn’t make me want to pull my hair out. This made me think what if I created my very own… language. I felt very challenged and so I researched and decided to use rust for my lang. And I chose rust because before I tried learning it and instead failed. So this made me feel highly motivated. I went to do what any sane human would do in my position. I went to code. Yep code without any knowledge. so that was another fail. and after deep research on rust I decided to actually learn it but use AI to boost time and I learned the basics of rust within 2 hours and after a few hundred lines of code I realized I should run it. Yep… It showed error after error after error my little kingdom crumbled to dust like the inside of my wallet. I cried myself to sleep that night and the next morning I woke up and ready to fight my laptop. and I went to my laptop and deleted the folder and created a new one and started coding and testing and after 10hrs of grueling work and an additional 7hrs researching I bring to you the very start of connect. My first rust based language.
After heavy testing of the summon command I came to the conclusion that I failed it. So I thought how could I make local variables stay local and not be global? so I decided to add VarAccess an identifier resolution. I then tested again just to see it fail AGAIN. SO I I thought okay why is it failing so went ahead and added in debug prints in the rust code to see what was happening and I found it parent_locals was getting popped but local_vars never got restored so summon wasn’t working because there was nothing it could summon. and before summon I added in maps and recursion but that was a very smooth workflow.
after testing my language heavily I came to realize my language needs an error handling system so I thought on how id implement it and after researching on what it does I added attempt, recue, and always. attempt will try running a chunk or line of code. rescue catches the error without stopping the script and shows a message. And finally always will run a block or line of code no matter what.

P.S(CoreAi in the MyApp folder is my personal AI I will integrate into my lang, but that’s a very later feature and beta feature.)
Well my project just LEVELED UP. this level up was actually super clean and didn’t make me ball my eyes out at how I should’ve stuck to my old project. It was quite pleasant. this update allows my lang to store data in a separate file and format… json. Yep connect can now read and understand json format. It can conver data into json strings through json.stringify and can turn json strings into data.
After spending about an hour I have successfully added in date/time integration. It was very simple.
For the past few devlogs it seems as if my journey was finally smoothing out. well… it was the calm before the storm. because right after I thought nothing go bad ALL WENT BAD. My laptop Crashed Yes it Crashed and then my keyboard and trackpad failed. I thought only I failed but my things fail too. So I ran to find anything to keep on working and found a working keyboard and mouse and after finding one I went back to work. I hade a easy time implementing the system integration that allows you to check you OS and everything related. and After that I wondered what would be cool and fun to have… well I wanted pain so I decide let me add Http Extension. Yes my lang can now after a painful journey of trial and error can download retrieve and interact with URL’s. I don’t even want to say what happened but either way I will go on and relive that pain to “paint a picture”. Basically I came back after my laptops tantrum to lock in and build Http but my laptop failed me. So I fixed it and I started building halfway through after build a solid structure I tested and saw that Http was existing but it wasn’t being useful. so, I thought and went in to add the stronger features, but before I knew it the addons I integrated weren’t compatible and failed miserably after talking to a few AI’s(Actual intelligence’s not artificial) to get some insight they all called me stupid and told me to stop. SO i realized I’m not just stupid I’m stupid stupid and - -=+ and that’s fine by me. SO I locked in ad went through the rust ref book and dived into my code head first and fought my way in and added in all my features. I then went ahead and tested it and it worked.
My laptop has failed me… I’ve been busy for the past few days with family and friends and decided to lock in again but after 2 hours of coding my laptop sputtered to a stop at first I thought it froze but then the screen went black and it stopped I couldn’t do anything after an hour of good waiting I pressed the power button and it started up again. this time I deleted all background processes this helped I later cleaned the system up even more than I usually do then I came to conclusion that it had to be related to hardware and not software so I downloaded a cpu temp reader and once I had setup what I was working with I saw my cpu reached a temp of 100+ and it then climbed to 113 and my laptops screen went black again. this time I made sure to keep system super lean and delete anything that I can use later and am not in dire need of. I then started to code again I started with string extras this allows you to truly modify and change strings. I then add a crypto extension which allows you to generate a uuid or hash or even encode and decode bas64 and so on. those were the easy parts then it came to me that I should make a cool feature so I decided to build func[auto] well make it usefull and bring trigger to life too. and with this I sadly announce that func[onetime] is no more. And I am happy to announce that Connect-Lang is extremly close to v0.2.
I have successfully added async and protect it may have taken me 4 hrs but it was worth it! Connect v0.2 is out. well do to copyright issues im naming it Valence and v0.2 Memory Rush update is out! you can go to my github release and download the .exe’s and use it. but I need to document it and actually clarify syntax, but it works! sorry I’m in a rush so this devlog wasn’t as informative!
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME! and ofc i wasn’t Idle! I COOKED SO HARD THAT well… Valence(connect) now actually connects. YEP it connected to python first then I locked in and added C C++ (both these are a pain to work with on windows maybe a skill issue idk) then I integrated C# WAY EASIER cuz ofc it is builtin to windows and then Java, Rust ofc and zig (it was mainly for the compilation of C and C++ and yea) and now it officially can connect after testing it runs all the files in 13.261 ms and on the warmed up loop it ran in about 2.189 ms.
Well If you lock in you can do anything… So I took it personally and decide Valence needs to level TF up. And well trust me when I say It will not disappoint! Valence before could only connect to the languages I hardcoded. That 💩 is NOT UNIVERSAL! So I decided why make it my job to link up all langs? So, I decided to give the job to the dev, BUT to be clear from my end I made it simple as HELL! and well, you now can connect to any language!
I made it so you can code in any language not just the ones I hardcoded!
I am sick and have been working like a madman on the cor morph feature! idk what more to say stay tuned!
I HATE MY LIFE!!!! why you ask? cuz guess what? cor morph failed me! its gone dead! And guess what I find out the my vbp register got deleted when I restructured my code! and now I decided to rip cor morph out and delete it! so now I have fixed vbp.register! and yep im still sick every joint hurts but the grind doesn’t stop till i literally stop! oh and I do not think my laptop is doing too good! it burning itself its a pyromaniac!!!!
Ships:
I made Valence! A language that connects any language! the issues… don’t even get me started! I first off hade very little understanding of rust(knew a bit of the basics well enough to start). My laptop crashed like 5 times while coding and took long time to compile heavy updates! I added a command and another command broke! I sat in front of the computer for hours and now my back hurts! I got scrutinized by people who that I should be doing better things! BUT I didn’t quit cuz after all its all for the love of the game! Finally I am still updating, my laptop still heats and melts, but I LOVE IT! And below is Valence running java and python!...

After my friends using it for a while, they gave me a feedback saying it would be great if it has a ‘fit to page’ option for the page size. This way, the user wouldn’t have to go through complicated process on zooming in the pictures or trying different page sizes when it is not needed. This one was kind of challenging to pull because it means I also need to change a little bit parts of my FastAPI backend. Additionally I’ve also added custom page sizing so that the user can use whatever page size they want! My mom also needs this for her photocopy and printing tasks so I made it. Another feature is also we will be able to rename our files before downloading, would be helpful for mobile devices where the prompt asking something like the name file just doesn’t pop up. Then a day later I also added print preview feature or PDF preview feature. Say I’ve added 25 images and have cropped and zoomed each one then I want to do a rechecking. So Instead of doing it per images which could be harder and complicated, I’ve added a feature where the user will be able to check the entire PDF file with a single click.

LightScanner Time I have an idea to create my own version for Image-to-PDF site similliar to ILovePDF and CamScanner. I’ve finished the set up for the web app, and done with importing fonts and added new color theme
Updated homepage for my Image-to-PDF site. I’ve added animated checker backgrounds with some paper texture so it wouldn’t feel too bland. As well as animated the text Also made a new oc as the guide/mascot for the web app too lol. Still omw to implement shimejii like character on the homepage.
Image Upload Mechanism Here are new updates for LightScanner I’ve implemented the drag and drop menu so that users would be able to easily upload their images. Up to 10 MB, max 25 imager per batch. Users will be able to choose the paper size and page orientation to their liking In this web we can also crop and zoom the image directly For mobile, user will be able to capture the pict of their document or anything on camera Added an errorboundary to handle images that cannot be decoded especially on mobile.
Working on FastAPI Added new Filter and some docs as well! Omw to find a way to limit the API requests.
API KEY Since the client uses Next.JS and the backend uses FastAPI, I added more security layer to prevent another app from accessing the web.
Deployment test The app has been shipped. Next.js app on Vercel FastAPI server on FastAPI cloud I’m gonna try to test the web app on different devices first before proceeding to write README.md!
GITHUB IS READY!! Updated BOTH READMEs FOR BOTH REPOS!! New screenshots also added, alongside the tutorial how to run the project locally!
NEW FEATURES! I’ve received feedbacks from my friends, so for this project I’ve added Fit-to-page sizing where the PDF will follow the original page size/ratio Custom sizing, users can now input any sizes to their liking. Min. 10 cm and Max. 60 cm Before downloading, users would be able to change the file name
NEW FEATURE AND NEW SPRITE Now before downloading, users will be able to see the preview of their PDF file based on the page sizes and orientation that they are choosing. More Nyny! New additional Nyny sprite where she ‘hangs’ around the modal user interface Touch particle effect, for the vibe and polishing

HI!! So this is my project, Lightscanner! A simpler, lighter alternative for CamScanner or any other image-scanning mobile app. And an image-to-PDF converter like ILovePDF but with built-in filters! It’s been a while since I’ve coded with both Next.js and FastAPI, and here we are! When it comes to developing any web app-related projects, these two always come to my mind first. The reason why I made this project was funny honestly. So my mom and I lived in Indonesia, and she has this small photocopy and printing business. Almost everyday, there’s a lot of customers that want to print documents that were directly captured from the camera. There are lots of issues, for example, resolution issues; the pictures don’t match the ratio for the paper size and orientation; and then in my place, not everyone was able to operate a PC and use Microsoft-related tools or GDocs. There are tools like Ms. Words, but my mom can’t operate it well, and so do the customers sometimes. Then apps like Camscanner feel laggy and filled with ads. This is why I made Lightscanner! I’ve testes this web app. My friends also used it for their assignments. When there’s handwritten homework or assignments and the teacher told us to send the pictures to Google Forms in the form of PDF, my friends tried to use this web app, and it worked. As for my mom, she said she was able to use this app and so far enjoys it. Because it is much faster and simpler. So if you want to test my project, find any pictures and try to convert them into PDF files. Try to experiment with the options! I think making usable web apps like this is something that I am proud of! Also new OC!!!! Although she only like has two inconsistent sprites lol. I think the challenging part wasn’t coding the UI or the API but rather coding using Pillow because I wasn’t that familiar with image processing stuff! SO THIS IS MY PLACE TO LEARN!.
Okay so here it comes new version for Lightscanner web app! After my friends using it for a while, they gave me a feedback saying it would be great if it has a ‘fit to page’ option for the page size. This way, the user wouldn’t have to go through complicated process on zooming in the pictures or trying different page sizes when it is not needed. This one was kind of challenging to pull because it means I also need to change a little bit parts of my FastAPI backend. Additionally I’ve also added custom page sizing so that the user can use whatever page size they want! My mom also needs this for her photocopy and printing tasks so I made it. Another feature is also we will be able to rename our files before downloading, would be helpful for mobile devices where the prompt asking something like the name file just doesn’t pop up. Then a day later I also added print preview feature or PDF preview feature. Say I’ve added 25 images and have cropped and zoomed each one then I want to do a rechecking. So Instead of doing it per images which could be harder and complicated, I’ve added a feature where the user will be able to check the entire PDF file with a single click. I took my time to draw more Nyny. Because so far there’s only three drawings of her, so let’s add one more! Basically Nyny now hangs on top of some modal interfaces. I used google meet to record my Lapse when drawing on Ibis Paint....

#1 DevPost : Started to make a Toolbox for devs got a lot of errors in like first 5 min like coudnt connect the git togithub a lot o fproblem thanks to vscode agent and chatgpt they helpedme to fix the error
DevPost #2 : Maing some design an dtesting which design migh tbe good for whole structure . im trying to make a good looking skeliton before writing the actual code
DevPost #3 : done the structure thing this is the main design now i will be adding the whole design and then add js also . Can someone help me in the top header section I have a Text DevToolBox in h1 but in screen i have seen DevToolBox! why is this
DevPost #4: Added the css for the main page and made sub folders for tools and connected to the main js . currenlty finished 3 tools json formatter , json validator, regex tester. search is working theme is working
DevPost #5: added diff checker and fixed the incoming errors fixed css errors
DevPost #6: Added Color Coverter and Gradient generrator with live preview that very good you should checkout that
Devpost #7 : added boxshadow and flexbox generator in the CSS secction and finished the css section for now now will be working on encoding
DevPost #8 : just now figured out that i could ship my project multple time and get reviewed so im shipping my project currently i have 8 tools all working properly added readme and page is live through github pages lets see my first ship
DevPost #9 : recently got a lot of troublee when shipping my project so ciudnt work properly for previous day still i have now added Base64 Encoder/Decoder you can now encode and decode base64 text and also recently i have finished the url encoder where you can encode the url or decode the given url these are some tools that i have never used but got suggestion to add so i ahve added them
DevPost #10 this is my final devpost until my previous ship is approved . i woudnt do this but i need some work to do in base64 that wasnt working properly so did some fixes their and now closing it until previous ship is approved
DevPost #11 : First Of all m ship was approved thats nice and after that i have restarted my project worked in the url encoder and jwt decoder section i have a lot of problem in the jwt decoder because i dont even knoe properly to use this so i took help from other creators online used their method and isea for this and implemented my toolbox design in it .
DevPost #12 : From the recent revire from my ship over 5 out of 12 peope have suggested me too fix the css loading its taking time so now i have Improved the tool loading system by preloading the tool CSS and making sure the CSS loads before the tool is displayed also fixed up the JavaScript loading to minimze the loading time
Devpost #13: In my recent ship rating i got suggestion that if we could add no of items it would be grate so i have implemented it i have additionally added a section to enter number of items and a generate button and its working perfectly
DevPost #14: the toolboox is looking too dull and many have suggested me to imprve my css and the ui is very boring so im trying to add css in my website with my own toolbox gradient generator and im also using my own toolbox color conveter to add some colores here hope everyone will like my new design
DevPost #15: Currently working on the improvement of whole ui and adding new features im thinking to add more featiures like quicklinks where i will add 100+ other tools that will have link toother website
DevPost #16: currently i have been updating all tools css and also added the uuid generator but mainly im focused on improving css of whole site . After i finish this im resuming the password Generator section.
DevPost #17: Asimple and functional tool Password generator was added and now after i implement the css design i will work on the qrcode generator and i have found a simple guide for this an di think it will aslo work as intended i have watched some guide for this and it is looking grate fr now need to implement it to main now
DevPost #18: Finally fixed the hash geneatpor error it took over a hour this tiime and also have done some changes in the main style.css for a better ui working in this for a quite long also now i am thinking o add more tools lets see what gets me their
DevPost #19: one of the hardest and challenging tool i have ever worked i would have created a new project here for thisbut i added this most of time im just reding documentation atching fixes and tool little course to make this tol working properly HTTP Request BuilderIt can create and send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests, add parameters and headers, view responses, and generate JavaScript, cURL, and Python code. The main challenges were fixing JavaScript errors, handling URL parameters correctly, and dealing with browser CORS restrictions.
DevPost #20: Starting AI Code Reviewer starting a new project yesterday i got busy and coudnt code much did 12m but my streak is broken and im busy today also so strying to do a devpost now not much for now # Ai Code Reviwer is a tool that will be reviewing your code in diffrent terms like bug security and much more i will be using API of a chatbot and only leave few section that will allow user to review their code
DevPost #21: AI Code Reviewer I’ve been working on adding an AI Code Reviewer to DevSatchel recently. The main goal is pretty simple: paste your code, let the AI look through it, and get feedback that actually helps you understand what could be improved. What I’ve done so far Created the AI Code Reviewer tool Built the UI and layout Added the code input area Added the review/results section Added the basic review workflow Connected it to the DevToolBox tool system Finished the initial frontend work The UI is now in place, so I can actually start working on the part that matters most — the AI review itself. What’s left Connect the AI/API Send the user’s code to the AI for review Show the feedback properly in the results section Make the AI identify bugs and possible issues Add suggestions for improving the code Support multiple programming languages Add proper loading/error handling Test it with different types of code Clean up anything that feels rough after testing What I’m doing next My next step is connecting the actual AI backend. Once that’s working, I’ll test it with real code and see how useful the reviews actually are. From there I’ll probably spend more time improving the prompts, handling different languages, and making the feedback easier to understand. The frontend part is mostly there now. Now it’s time to make the AI actually do the work.
#DecPost #22: # AI Code Reviewer Last time I was mostly working on the UI and getting the basic structure in place. This time I started working more on the actual review logic . I added different review modes so the AI doesn’t just give the same generic review every time: Full Review Bugs Security Performance Code Quality Readability Tests Each mode now has its own specific prompt. So if I choose Bugs the AI should focus on finding bugs and incorrect behavior instead of trying to review everything at once. I also worked on making the selected review type control what gets sent to the AI. What’s left Connect the actual AI API Send the code + selected review type Display the AI response Add loading and error handling Test all the review modes Improve the prompts based on the results Test with different programming languages Clean up anything that breaks during testing What’s next Next I’m going to work on connecting the actual AI and finally see how the reviewer performs with real code.
DevPost: #23 #AI Code Reviewer I have finally completed the AI Code Reviewer The AI Code Reviewer uses the Gemini API to review source code based on the specific task selected by the user. It supports: Full Review Bug Detection Security Review Performance Review Code Quality Readability Test Suggestions The code is sent to my backend through a Netlify Function, which then communicates with the Gemini API.
Devpost #24: Dev Jokes Added Added a small Dev Jokes section below the Quick Links in DevToolBox! It fetches a random programming joke using JokeAPI whenever the website is opened or refreshed. There’s also a New Joke button to get another one without refreshing the page. Small feature, but it makes the workspace a little more fun while coding!
DevPost #25: Code Beautifier Added Added a new Code Beautifier tool to DevSatchel It uses Prettier to format and clean up: JavaScript JSON HTML CSS It also includes Beautify, Copy, and Clear buttons. Everything runs directly in the browser — no AI or API needed.
DevPost #26: Devsatchel Update Spent some more time improving project and working on multiple parts of the project. Added Added AES Encryption / Decryption using the Web Crypto API more Faster Loading Tool Improvements & Fixes Updated the AI Code Reviewer backend and request handling Fixed issues in the HTTP Request Builder Improved tool loading and integration Fixed bugs found while testing existing tools Made some UI and workspace improvements
DevPost #27: DevSatchel CSS Added Random color palettes generator Monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic palettes Lock individual colors while generating Copy individual colors or the full palette Improvements Fixed errors in the previous tools Improved tool functionality and integration Fixed some issues found during testing More improvements coming soon!
Devpost #28 : added Image Compressor & Image Resizer Image Compressor Compress JPG, PNG, and WebP images. Adjust image quality and preview file size changes. Download compressed images. Image Resizer Resize images using custom width and height in pixels. Maintain aspect ratio or resize by percentage. Added size presets, fit, fill/crop, and stretch modes. Choose output format and quality. Challenges & Learning I faced some challenges with maintaining image proportions, handling different resize modes, and balancing image quality with file size. I used JavaScript and the Canvas API to process images directly in the browser without external APIs.
DevPost #29: devsatchel Update ### HTML/CSS/JS Playground A small browser-based coding environment for quickly testing web code. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript editors Live preview Run and Clear buttons Isolated JavaScript execution Responsive layout PDF to JPG Converter A browser-based tool for converting PDF pages into JPG images. PDF upload and drag & drop Adjustable JPG quality Page-by-page preview Download individual JPGs Download all pages as a ZIP Uses PDF.js and JSZip Both tools run mainly in the browser without requiring a backend for processing.
DevPost #30: DevSatchel Update Today, I added two new tools to DevToolBox: Image to PDF Converter – Convert images into PDF files directly in the browser. PDF to JPG Converter – Convert PDF pages into JPG images and download them individually. I also updated the logo and changed the background to give DevSatchel a fresh new look. While working on the PDF to JPG converter, I faced a lot of errors, especially with rendering PDF pages and converting them into images. I had to spend time debugging and fixing issues to make the conversion work properly. Still improving and adding more useful tools. More updates coming soon
DevPost #31: DevSatchel Update PDF Merger The PDF Merger lets you select multiple PDFs and combine them into one file. Select multiple PDFs Merge them into one Simple browser-based interface I ran into a few issues while handling multiple PDFs and keeping the pages in the correct order, but got it working. image to Text The Image to Text tool uses OCR to extract text from images. Upload Image → Preview → Extract Text → Copy I kept it simple with just the extracted text and a Copy Text button. OCR works better with clear, high-quality images. Both tools run directly in the browser, and I’m continuing to add more useful tools to DevSatchel
#Devpost #32 this is not much of a big buti was short of 50 stardust so i dont had a plan so added one tool and improved some design for now closing this project with the base rate of 10 per hour i can get 60 thats enough for me
Ships:
Hey! I’m shipping my DevToolBox project to test out the shipping and voting process and understand how everything works. DevToolBox is a web-based developer toolbox where I’m building different useful developer utilities in one place, with a sidebar for navigating between tools and a workspace where each tool runs. Right now I have 8 working tools: • JSON Formatter • JSON Validator • Regex Tester • Diff Checker • Color Converter • Gradient Generator • Box Shadow Generator • Flexbox Generator The project isn’t completely finished yet — I’m still planning to add more tools, especially in the Encoding and Generators sections. I’m shipping it now because I want to experience the full ship → review → voting process with a project I’ve already built a significant part of. I’d appreciate any feedback on what I can improve before I continue expanding it!
When I first shipped DevSatchel it has name DevToolBox but i changed the name because in internet i found other have already used this name and i pulished it through netlify , it only had 8 tools. Since then I’ve been adding a lot more useful tools and slowly turning it into a proper all-in-one developer toolbox. The tools now include: JSON Formatter JSON Validator Regex Tester Diff Checker Color Converter Gradient Generator Box Shadow Generator Flexbox Generator Base64 Encoder/Decoder URL Encoder/Decoder JWT Decoder UUID Generator Password Generator QR Code Generator Barcode Generator Hash Generator CSS Unit Converter HTTP Request Builder i will be adding new tools in future also
DevSatchel Ship Added AI Code Reviewer using the Gemini API Dev Jokes using an external API Small descriptions for the tools Fixed some issues from the last review All Tools JSON Formatter JSON Validator Regex Tester Diff Checker Color Converter Gradient Generator Box Shadow Generator Flexbox Generator Base64 Encoder/Decoder URL Encoder/Decoder JWT Decoder UUID Generator Password Generator QR Code Generator Barcode Generator Hash Generator CSS Unit Converter HTTP Request Builder AI Code Reviewer
DevSatchel Ship I’ve finished a bunch of new tools and the project is finally starting to feel like a proper toolbox. Tools JSON Formatter JSON Validator Regex Tester Diff Checker Base64 Encoder / Decoder URL Encoder / Decoder JWT Decoder UUID Generator Password Generator Hash Generator HTTP Request Builder CSS Unit Converter Code Beautifier HTML/CSS/JS Playground CSS & Design Color Converter Gradient Generator Box Shadow Generator Flexbox Generator Color Palette Generator AI AI Code Reviewer Image Tools Image Compressor Image Resizer Image to PDF PDF to JPG Image to Text (OCR) PDF Image to PDF PDF to JPG Security AES Encryption Base64 Encoder / Decoder Hash Generator Also updated the UI, logo and logo background and fixed a lot of bugs along the way. The AI Code Reviewer now uses a backend API so the API key isn’t exposed in the frontend. Still have more tools I want to add, but this is where DevToolBox is at right now.
DevSatchel — Final Update I’ve added a lot of tools to Devsatchel and it’s finally starting to feel like a complete toolbox for everyday development work. Developer Tools JSON Formatter JSON Validator Regex Tester Diff Checker Base64 Encoder / Decoder URL Encoder / Decoder JWT Decoder UUID Generator Password Generator QR Code Generator Barcode Generator Hash Generator HTTP Request Builder CSS Unit Converter Code Beautifier HTML/CSS/JS Playground CSV ↔ JSON Converter CSS & Design Color Converter Gradient Generator Box Shadow Generator Flexbox Generator Color Palette Generator AI AI Code Reviewer Image Tools Image Compressor Image Resizer Image to PDF Image to Text (OCR) PDF Tools PDF to JPG PDF Merger Image to PDF Security AES Encryption Base64 Encoder / Decoder Hash Generator I also updated the UI, logo and logo background, added dark/light mode, improved the tool search, and fixed a lot of bugs while building everything....

As a music lover, I am making a slack bot that will recommend music to you. (currently getting started)
Yay it works. It took a lot of time to find a suitable API but iTunes work. Added a command to suggest a random song.
Finally all the commands are working, Now I only need to make it live 24/7....

Aside from game balancing, I’m starting to draw out sprites for the game in order to make it more appealing to the players and for whoever is looking at the devlog. Yeah I see you. If you’re curious, I’m drawing all of the sprites myself on Clip Studio Paint, and the linework/coloring will be largely inspired by flash-era games like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. (But I can’t draw that well…) Timelapses should be on Lapse if you’re interested. https://lapse.hackclub.com/user/@hen Stick around… again!"}, {"post_id": 74712, "ts": "2026-09-28T01:37:33Z", "hours": 8.9883, "text": "DEVLOG 12 harry potter or something I’ve said this line in a number of devlogs before, but… BLOOD is meant to be both a currency and health, in order to increase the risk in decision making. In this wave of updates, I added abilities, which consume BLOOD but deal massive amounts of damage. Later abilities also grant movement. – Using an ability takes up both your health and currency for future upgrades, but in return you can kill enemies or clusters of enemies for a greater net payout. It can also be used to get out of bad situations. The caveat is to use them wisely, as using them too quickly will leave you weakened. I also added animated icons, but OBS was being too laggy… I still attached some images though. The majority of the gameplay loop is done, so redrawing everything is a very high priority at this moment. Stay tuned!!! The game will look VERY different."}, {"post_id": 72544, "ts": "2026-09-23T05:33:56Z", "hours": 5.2136, "text": "DEVLOG 11 But wait, there’s more… I added two new enemy types: – Tank: Takes more hits to kill, does more damage, collides with the player (forcing the player to either jump over them or risk HP killing them for big bonuses). Encountered at 500m. – Shooter: Slightly more health than a base zombie, and rapidly shoots fast projectiles for the same damage. Sounds annoying, but encountered at 1000m, by which point the player should be either strong enough to facetank it, one-shot it, or attack it from afar with abilities. You can parry the bullets, but it’s very hard. Perhaps it could be extra rewarding. I think this is going to be all the enemies I’m adding in this version, the reason being that I want there to be an end goal (2000m distance) without getting too complex. – The enemies will get higher health and damage as the player travels further, but that will be it. The game is designed around punishing carelessness as well as awarding deliberate decision-making. In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that all obstacles and enemies will be the same each run (for each player). In this sense, the player improves in skill at the same time that they buy upgrades; two improvements per mistake. These are still not the actual sprites… As soon as the gameplay and UI are done, it’s going to be a cramming session of drawing. I just figured out how to use Lapse so maybe you can find my work there. Hint: I posted a video already :) Stay tuned for more…"}, {"post_id": 72026, "ts": "2026-09-22T00:56:16Z", "hours": 8.7139, "text": "DEVLOG 10 The gameplay loop is being further developed… there’s upgrades now! In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that there was a mechanic called REVENGE which drained your blood for a strong, temporary boost. In contrast, UPGRADES are an alternative that gives you small, permanent boosts, but sets you back to the starting position. The point is to choose which path fits your style! I also added a main menu, but the background is coming soon. As a reminder, everything art and music related will be human-made, without AI. If you have any feedback, let me know! Stick around for future updates :)"}, {"post_id": 68540, "ts": "2026-09-15T08:57:46Z", "hours": 10.0889, "text": "DEVLOG 9 In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that I wanted “BLOOD” to simultaneously act as currency, health, and possibly ability points. I also wanted peak blood to play a role as not just a leaderboard stat, but as something important to gameplay. With that in mind, I drafted the following systems: REBIRTH and REVENGE. REBIRTH: When your BLOOD reaches 0, or you end the run early (preserving blood and peak blood) to buy upgrades. Upgrades cost both BLOOD and PEAK BLOOD, so you can either continue using blood to keep the run going (acting as a larger health and ability pool, and having a chance to get blood / peak blood even higher), or end it earlier to spend it on upgrades. REVENGE: Available upon DEATH. Requires PEAK BLOOD to be greater than 100. Continue the run by setting your BLOOD to PEAK BLOOD. BLOOD and PEAK BLOOD will drain to 100 in 30 seconds, but the duration is extended or lowered from BLOOD gain and loss. In exchange, the player has enhanced stats for the duration of REVENGE. ~ In this sense, the player is forced to gamble their resources at all times, at stake to skill but unbeknownst of future obstacles. I believe this will make for a very engaging gameplay loop, but playtesting needs to be done to ensure it’s not frustrating or too punishing. However, I don’t know of any loops similar to this. If it’s the first, I am very excited for it. ~ For Devlog 9, I added buttons that appear on death for REBIRTH and REVENGE, where the former will reset the map and revenge will keep the game going. I also implemented tooltips with these buttons for more in-depth explanation when necessary. However, I recognize that this can eventually make the game text-heavy, so an in-game tutorial will be in the works. ~ And of course, these buttons will have custom assets! As a reminder, although some code is AI-generated, ALL OF THE ARTWORK, SPRITES, 3D MODELS, AND MUSIC ARE AND WILL BE COMPLETELY HUMANMADE. ~ Stick around for future updates :)"}, {"post_id": 53882, "ts": "2026-08-24T16:14:59Z", "hours": 6.2717, "text": "DEVLOG 8 There is DANGER… The enemies are actually real instead of menacing vocaloid pears!! The first type I introduced is a zombie, which can… — Run toward the player — Jump over obstacles (with a varying height according to how high the obstacle actually is) — Kill. I’m actually pretty proud of the jumping solution (though maybe a professional wouldn’t like it…) — First, the zombie casts a raycast in front of itself, from its feet.

Devlogs:
DEVLOG 1 My first proof-of-concept for this game: horizontal movement. It doesn’t look like much for an hour of work, but it turns out Unity can be very hard to learn… But anyways, it exists and that means it can continue to improve. I’ll also explain why the game is called ‘unwanted traffic’ in a future devlog. The player character does have a backstory.
DEVLOG 2 I added jumping, but it took way longer than I thought. The plan was to make this high-action, so a simple up and down jump, like in many traditional platformers, would’ve been “restrictive” by putting the player a predefined amount of time in the air. Instead, I implemented variable jumping, where if you release the jump button early, you fall earlier. I drew inspiration from Hollow Knight (a metroidvania), but this was popularized by Super Mario Bros. Next on my priority list would either be coyote time (giving the player a small window to jump when off the platform) or working on attack hitboxes for the main gameplay loop. I’ll add actual sprites soon!! I have some concept art, they just need to be animation-ready and blend into the game.
DEVLOG 3 REAL SPRITES!! Kind of… I drew out a bunch of prototype sprites on Clip Studio Paint and used an online website to generate a sprite sheet. Afterward, I sliced that sprite sheet into individual frames that could be selected in groups for each animation. Then, I had to use an Animation Controller to control when each animations played under certain conditions. I think I’ve said it in another devlog, but it’s way harder than it looks for the first time around. I have years of experience in Scratch but this is the complexity that comes with professional tools (Unity). Also, if you’re curious, I attached reference art for the character; lore coming soon? (It might relate to future gameplay mechanics…)
DEVLOG 4 Another main mechanic: attacking, and enemies that can die. After a few more critical mechanics are added, such as player health and enemy behaviors, I’ll finally be able to make this more unique.
DEVLOG 5 I added a mechanic that acts as both health and currency: blood. The idea is that killing enemies gives blood, getting hit loses blood, and saving blood can be used for upgrades. Balancing it this way will require a lot of thinking about game theory, but hopefully it’ll make gameplay more risk-intense while still being engaging and rewarding. I designed this UI block based on old Flash games and I’m going to try to lean toward that aesthetic.
DEVLOG 6 Since this is supposed to be a side scroller, the lose condition is a horde of enemies that comes in from the left side and drains the player’s health. I did a lot of experimenting and reading documentation with Unity’s Mathf class, using it for things like exponential health drain (Pow, FloorToInt, Clamp). In the video is a placeholder sprite… but you can totally see the terror of the monsters… right?
DEVLOG 7 I’m getting excited for how this is gonna turn out. With an actual prototype on hand, I can handle the fun side of the gameplay loop, the others being a respawn and upgrade system. I added procedural generation in order to create the map, which assigns the player a random seed from which a map is created. This makes for a unique but consistent map, and will hopefully reinforce the idea of the player learning from their mistakes because every run will be a chance to correct them. So far, in this map generation, there is a house, trash can, and tree, managed with the ScriptableObjects feature in Unity (which lets me store data for each prop more efficiently). These objects are assigned weights to affect the probability of each appearing on an object spawn. Although I knew probability weights existed, learning it conceptually and applying it was a little weird because I didn’t learn this in my statistics class. The house is tall and solid, but I added a grab feature to jump when approaching high ledges. This should make vertically scaling sections of the map more realistic in the future. The trash cans are also solid but can be knocked over. The tree can be walked through because it’s a background prop, but there will probably be variations that act as obstacles. Next on the list is adding enemy AIs, so the player can lose health to a secondary lose condition and that attacking is just as important as running.
DEVLOG 8 There is DANGER… The enemies are actually real instead of menacing vocaloid pears!! The first type I introduced is a zombie, which can… — Run toward the player — Jump over obstacles (with a varying height according to how high the obstacle actually is) — Kill. I’m actually pretty proud of the jumping solution (though maybe a professional wouldn’t like it…) — First, the zombie casts a raycast in front of itself, from its feet. The length of this raycast depends on how fast it’s going, so that higher speeds don’t make the zombie bump into the obstacle before actually getting over it. — Then, the zombie casts a raycast from the sky and descends until it hits the top of the obstacle. From the feet to the top, this gives obstacle height from which necessary jump strength can be calculated from a kinematics formula. (Yay AP Physics or something) There’s going to be more enemy variations in the future, but it takes a while… here are some plausible ideas though: — An enemy that physically blocks the player — An enemy that shoots projectiles — An enemy that explodes on death and therefore must be avoided instead of killed Aside from enemy variations, I’m going to keep working on things like a lose/restart screen and an upgrade menu. Stay tuned?
DEVLOG 9 In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that I wanted “BLOOD” to simultaneously act as currency, health, and possibly ability points. I also wanted peak blood to play a role as not just a leaderboard stat, but as something important to gameplay. With that in mind, I drafted the following systems: REBIRTH and REVENGE. REBIRTH: When your BLOOD reaches 0, or you end the run early (preserving blood and peak blood) to buy upgrades. Upgrades cost both BLOOD and PEAK BLOOD, so you can either continue using blood to keep the run going (acting as a larger health and ability pool, and having a chance to get blood / peak blood even higher), or end it earlier to spend it on upgrades. REVENGE: Available upon DEATH. Requires PEAK BLOOD to be greater than 100. Continue the run by setting your BLOOD to PEAK BLOOD. BLOOD and PEAK BLOOD will drain to 100 in 30 seconds, but the duration is extended or lowered from BLOOD gain and loss. In exchange, the player has enhanced stats for the duration of REVENGE. ~ In this sense, the player is forced to gamble their resources at all times, at stake to skill but unbeknownst of future obstacles. I believe this will make for a very engaging gameplay loop, but playtesting needs to be done to ensure it’s not frustrating or too punishing. However, I don’t know of any loops similar to this. If it’s the first, I am very excited for it. ~ For Devlog 9, I added buttons that appear on death for REBIRTH and REVENGE, where the former will reset the map and revenge will keep the game going. I also implemented tooltips with these buttons for more in-depth explanation when necessary. However, I recognize that this can eventually make the game text-heavy, so an in-game tutorial will be in the works. ~ And of course, these buttons will have custom assets! As a reminder, although some code is AI-generated, ALL OF THE ARTWORK, SPRITES, 3D MODELS, AND MUSIC ARE AND WILL BE COMPLETELY HUMANMADE. ~ Stick around for future updates :)
DEVLOG 10 The gameplay loop is being further developed… there’s upgrades now! In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that there was a mechanic called REVENGE which drained your blood for a strong, temporary boost. In contrast, UPGRADES are an alternative that gives you small, permanent boosts, but sets you back to the starting position. The point is to choose which path fits your style! I also added a main menu, but the background is coming soon. As a reminder, everything art and music related will be human-made, without AI. If you have any feedback, let me know! Stick around for future updates :)
DEVLOG 11 But wait, there’s more… I added two new enemy types: – Tank: Takes more hits to kill, does more damage, collides with the player (forcing the player to either jump over them or risk HP killing them for big bonuses). Encountered at 500m. – Shooter: Slightly more health than a base zombie, and rapidly shoots fast projectiles for the same damage. Sounds annoying, but encountered at 1000m, by which point the player should be either strong enough to facetank it, one-shot it, or attack it from afar with abilities. You can parry the bullets, but it’s very hard. Perhaps it could be extra rewarding. I think this is going to be all the enemies I’m adding in this version, the reason being that I want there to be an end goal (2000m distance) without getting too complex. – The enemies will get higher health and damage as the player travels further, but that will be it. The game is designed around punishing carelessness as well as awarding deliberate decision-making. In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that all obstacles and enemies will be the same each run (for each player). In this sense, the player improves in skill at the same time that they buy upgrades; two improvements per mistake. These are still not the actual sprites… As soon as the gameplay and UI are done, it’s going to be a cramming session of drawing. I just figured out how to use Lapse so maybe you can find my work there. Hint: I posted a video already :) Stay tuned for more…
DEVLOG 12 harry potter or something I’ve said this line in a number of devlogs before, but… BLOOD is meant to be both a currency and health, in order to increase the risk in decision making. In this wave of updates, I added abilities, which consume BLOOD but deal massive amounts of damage. Later abilities also grant movement. – Using an ability takes up both your health and currency for future upgrades, but in return you can kill enemies or clusters of enemies for a greater net payout. It can also be used to get out of bad situations. The caveat is to use them wisely, as using them too quickly will leave you weakened. I also added animated icons, but OBS was being too laggy… I still attached some images though. The majority of the gameplay loop is done, so redrawing everything is a very high priority at this moment. Stay tuned!!! The game will look VERY different.
DEVLOG 13 Sprites and stuff Not much to say here. Aside from game balancing, I’m starting to draw out sprites for the game in order to make it more appealing to the players and for whoever is looking at the devlog. Yeah I see you. If you’re curious, I’m drawing all of the sprites myself on Clip Studio Paint, and the linework/coloring will be largely inspired by flash-era games like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. (But I can’t draw that well…) Timelapses should be on Lapse if you’re interested. https://lapse.hackclub.com/user/@hen Stick around… again!...

heyyyyy :) everyone 3rd devlog: of my (Keepsy) memory dump/online diary so since we want to be able to see the memories even after year, we need to have accounts and database to storage so we need login/sign up screen i made it!!!!!!!!!!!! so i have added firebase auth to the project and for that i created a project in console and added a app(keepsy) and had to deal with authetication and database to store the info and remember the user so in our indexpage there is two box Katch and Kapture so when new users click on katch or kapture the js sends them to log in screen but if they have a id and havent looged out it will take them to the box they clicked i have created new login.html,css,js and same with sign up and yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa next stop is kapture screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can now add photoss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey everyone :)) im working on a memory dump/online diary project (keepsy) So this page comes after when user login/signin in their accounts and there the user write all about there day. I also spent a lot of time in adding background text and stuff and there i learned about textarea and label in html Next i’ll be working on katch to store itttt!! hehehe byeeee!! everyone till then
Hey everyone :)) I’m working on a memory dump/online diary project (Keepsy) man I didn’t know that storage for the photo needs billing in firebase😭😭 and the browser storage thing is too complex for me so, I decided to add music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so yea for this I removed all the html, css and js and added for musicbox and yea we now have music So yea and i also had a collection called memories that stores the info and saves it (you can see in [img.2]) so yea next we will work on katch so yea bye!!!!!!!!!!
heyy everyone!!!!!!!! im working on my memory dump/online diary(keepsy) so yea as i was working on the katch part i decided to make it in 2 pages so first to make it systematic i decided to have first page thats goes from ur saved data and shows ur memories and from there u can click it and show your data and then u click on it to relive it ( lol read it) and yea it shows your date and title u wrote in kapture and yea it shows that data stored from our firstore and i have also added cute bg txt to make u feel good and yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa byeee!!!!!!!! lil bit and im done and ya’ll can enjoy keepsy
Hey everyone!! As u might know I was making a personal diary/memory dump website called Keepsy and yea…IT’S FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY DONE 😭😭😭 Picking up from where I left off, I made the Katch 2 page!! Yea and This is basically where u can actually see and relive all the memories you’ve saved. The memories that were saved from Kapture are now displayed here, with the date, title, and body of each memory. Basically everything u saved in Kapture can now come back here so u can read it again I also worked on making the memories actually load from Firebase, so Katch isn’t just showing some random example memories. It gets the memories that were actually saved by the user and displays them back on the page.Which means the whole thing is finally connected together 😭 and yea fianlly thanxs reading all my devlog and keeping updated with me
Ships:
This is a online diary/memory dump website that is made from html, css, js and firebase. Here you can write all about your day and kapture your memories and then katch it later when you want relive it You can create your own accounts, save your memories, access it later. Basically, Keepsy is a little space where you can listen to the music and write your feelings and noone will read it expect you...

Imported the basic 2D character and made a controller for it including the actions to move in xy directions and jump.. also added the basic platform and a camera controller that will make it slowly shift upward while smoothly looking at player… The idea is as follows :- It’ll be a game where you land on progressive paltforms and don’t let lava touch you.. Hope you enjoy the series ^^
Did a lot of work in 8 hours: Finished all the script including the gamemanager and platform spawner, Improved the camera systeam and made it only rotate rather than move, Also did a lot of calculation to get the correct values for managing the difficulty of game, Solved the bug that made the player sunk in the ground after jump(the player had an extra rigidbody), Made the shadow systeam to know on what place you exactly are in air, Also made an effect for when player or obstacle hits lava and imported some great textures from great creators..

Welcome Again!! So, we made the following things in 2 hours:- Made the most front clock translucent as you can see in the image for a forward effect(Should I increase the transparency?) Made a trail effect for player Made a screen shake when player dies Made the player to respond immidiately to the controls so it feels more juicy. That’s all, and a lot more coming soon.. Kabir out!!
Updated a few things:- Made a smoke trail texture to make it look random Trail changes its colour from red to white based on velocity Made a Point Light source from Player Camera zoom if the player is too close to lava Imported a souls flying dying particle Added a sound on Jump Added some partcles on edge of lava Reduced Lava glow Made an animation which changes the opacity of platforms on drowning Fixed the error where the platforms were not burning Thank all Kabir out ^^...

finished basic prototyping and MVP components
fixed some bugs and improved structure for future development. starting to work on inventory, sounds, and basic modles.
refactored drops, did like 3 hours of planning game lore, drops reasons, market logic, fleshed out all future drops, started designing crafting system.
creating a inventory, crafting, and implementing sounds took way to long. I ain’t explaining all my code it took 12 hours
crafting system is 80% complete just need to call a check for all inventory slots and requirements for when something is crafted.
Crafting is fully working now working on polishing the item tips, extraction/deploying limits, Build selection and better visibility of system status. Feed back on the UI would be greatly appreciated
made the scrolling selection for changing builds, some optimizations, added another turret, critical damage, and build plate foundations
Global scrip refactor new Helperfunctions scrips with static functions. polishing the build selectoin UI not finished but its going not smoothly taking way to long i need to lock in bc this is killing me
DEVLOG #9 – Shield added, shield health added and the building selectoin is finally fully working took me way to long. need to lock in on this project bc i dont got that much time. this is like dev long 9???
Devlog - 10# I have been working on polishing up the code making it a lot more robust. added shield, health, changed crafting ui to be less cluttered, an amazing looking health bar that works, forced extraction and damage numbers.
Devlog #11. i dont know how to write on new lines when i press enter it dosn’t do anything so thats why this is all on one line can somone tell me how to format these post thanks. working on extraction ui. just added the changing colors to the extraction limit bar in the middle the left screen shot is in figma and then i put it into godot. i probably have like 4 hours of planning and iterating on the design of the extraction UI so thats why this dev log only has 3 hours. idk what im typing so yea. have a nice day.
Devlog #12 – Extraction UI mostly implemented just need to work on the preset buttons. but it looks really nice. the sector shield got a shader and the extraction UI animation works. somthing is currenly broken. planning to have a fully working mvp by next week should be able to ship : ).
Devlog 13, 14# omg i forgot to post devlog 13 so this is kinda both. a lot of polishing done to gameplay and implementing animations to make the game more fun. making it easier to start with lower enemy health. shield fix’s, extraction preset are fully working and items are now taken back to the ship. just a little more balencing and ill have a playable base game posted on itch for devlog 15# wooo. not bothered to record a video of the animations in this devlog here is a screen shot though
Devlog #15 Just push a playable ish version to the itch page please brutally critque it in the comment section if you are bothered. then after i pushed it made alot of the item assets. tweaked some spawning and then pushed it back to itch. I will ship this MVP and start a new project. did hella bug fix’s and code robustness (is that even a word) What you can do walk around, shoot enemies, craft, extract, build up ship storage, access all craftable items in the game What you can’t do the game dosn’t save or load any persistant data but there will be in the future, drop down to the sector with ship resources.

devlog #16 Completely changed spawning mechanics to be extremely customizable, added pickup notifications in the bottom right, added 4 other types of enemies. next work on Wave/Run ui and Tutorial and council authorization. also played around with some ai generated textures. all code is written by me not assets.
Devlog #17 Small changes to the wave mechanics, new recipe pinning, starting to work on tutorial
Devlog #18 I am so back we are locked in everyone that in reading this WE are locked in. Brand new queueing system, full remote island enemy spawning pattern.

GG all I am feeling unnecessary ecstatic bout to do a front lever.
Dev log #19 EXAM MOCKS ARE OVER : ) Almost done with the pause menu. I’m going to ship this Saturday I swear. Completely changed the camera system to account for double axis collision with spring arms with lerping (not larping) the camera position to markers for smooth camera movement.

Devlog #20 Sup everyone hope you are a buku buku and not the other. There have been some interesting changes.
