Hey, this is the first day of my custom in-browser Operating System. This is the first devlog of this project. I have just made the Navbar with some cool hover and click effects.
Just added the battery details to the OS. The battery details work just fine. Couldn’t do for the networks as the browser doesn’t allow this. Next: Apps and widgets.
Created the login screen with 4-digit pin and a cute astronaut.
Just built the Chrome App for my Operating system! Chrome works but just for the sites without iFrame Restrictions. My portfolio site works fine but the HackClub sites, google and such things don’t work
Created an weather app for my Operating System. Absolute glassmorphism
Added weather widget and time to the home screen. Done for now.
Started working on GlassOS v2 Progress in v2: Added full screen Prompt Added game library Added calculator app Added calendar app Added camera app Windows updated
Integrating HackaTime directly to my GlassOS
Just completed my WebOS and it’s now ready for WebOS 2 mission! Updates in v2 Added full screen Prompt Added game library Added calculator app Added calendar app Added hackatime widget
Updated basic UI and the window control buttons. Shifted to mac styled buttons
Changed the chrome new tab to my GlassTab. Also, fixed calculator as the ratings told to update. Next: VSCode Update.
Created a VSCode interface. Now working on terminal
I have added the terminal in VSCode. Terminal Commands: run [file] Execute file JS/TS code node Execute specified JS file ls, pwd, cd [dir] Navigate directory structure cat, touch, rm File inspection and edits cp, mv Copy or rename files echo [> file] Print text or write to file grep, find, wc Search and inspect content head, tail View line subsets date, env, history System tools clear, reset Manage terminal state

In Ship #1 I had it running in three hosts. Since then I gave it a browser you can try it in, and I turned the Minecraft host into a real game running on a live server. I put the language in a browser. I compiled the C API to WebAssembly, served it from GitHub Pages, and wrote an editor with a Run button and four example programs: raidentechnology.github.io/raidenscript. I send nothing to a server; the page is the interpreter. I stopped treating the Minecraft host as a demo. I wrote 144 commits on it since the last devlog, and I keep the rules out of Java entirely: they sit in one .rai file the server loads at boot and reloads while players are online. I wrote a whole farming layer as script rules. Every crop got its own tool with its own level and rarity ladder, and I added tool enchants, XP bottles, an upgrade bench, and a 20 minute contest with medals and a shop of its own. I added pests. Twelve species, a spawn engine I tied to whatever crop is planted, a five-tier vacuum to kill them with, and a loot table I hooked into the same farming-luck stat every other system reads. I built a garden around it: 8 plots, a regeneration engine that rebuilds 13 farm patterns, 76 visitor NPCs I gave 53 signed skins, and a copper economy I priced off the live Bazaar API instead of numbers I made up. I added one host primitive, taslakModel, and let the script choose the model an item wears. Adding an item is now a script edit and nothing else. I fixed three bugs the live server found and no test of mine would have. An item-identity gate was cancelling every right click unconditionally, so the grappling hook silently never fired. The area hoe was catching its own synthetic event and moving the stack twice. And one wrong price in a shop table was failing the entire script at boot. Why did I do it like this? Because I think a language is judged by what runs on it, not by its grammar. The strongest thing I can say about my embedding API is that a 10,000 line ruleset runs on it every night, on a real server, with real players. Because I lose reviewers at the install wall. For Ship #1 I asked people to clone a repo and build it with MinGW. Now I ask for one click, and I am handing them the same interpreter, not a simplified twin. Because every rule I move out of Java is a rule I can change without a restart. I left no compile step in the script layer, so /rai reload changes the balance of a live game between two swings of a sword. Because item models were the last thing still forcing me into Java. I closed that hole, and I now keep the Java side as infrastructure only: it knows how to talk to the server and nothing about what the game is. Because I wanted the contest, the pests and the visitor queue to stress the C boundary. I pass numbers in the array and let strings travel beside it, and not one of these systems made me widen that contract. Because a bug a player hits at 2 AM is worth more to me than a bug I find in my own suite. All three above came from the server.

WHAT IT IS A small language (29 keywords) with Python’s readability and JavaScript’s runtime model, built to go inside another program and make it scriptable. The same interpreter runs in three hosts, and each one has a working demo in the repo: Terminal — native binary, “rai program.rai”, plus a REPL Browser — C API compiled to WebAssembly, running an animated store page JVM — C API through JNI, running a Paper Minecraft plugin The demo link is my shipped game STAR BREAKER: one of its weapons is not defined in the game at all, it is a RaidenScript file the game loads and runs through the WebAssembly build. WHAT IS IN IT Lexer, parser, resolver, tree-walking interpreter and REPL, all hand-written; no parser generator, no dependencies. 16 example programs that double as the regression suite, 20 C API checks, 7 WebAssembly checks, zero compiler warnings. A recursion-depth guard so a runaway script raises a catchable error instead of killing the host process — verified separately on native, wasm and the JVM. The cover image was computed pixel by pixel by a RaidenScript program (demo/kapak/kapak-ascii.rai) — no graphics library, in the program or in the language. HOW TO TRY IT git clone, then “make” (w64devkit/MinGW on Windows, gcc elsewhere), then “rai examples/01-temeller.rai”, or just “rai” for the REPL. The README is a full manual: language guide, standard library, embedding walkthrough. Known limits are written down there rather than hidden: an exception escaping a host function leaks stack, string += is quadratic, and a script returning a string to rs_call still yields 0. AI SPLIT The design of the language and its core — lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, string channel — is mine and was written by me. The host bindings, the demo apps, and this week’s seven interpreter bug fixes are AI-written from my designs and my audit. Logged hours are my editor time only.

The cover generator is a RaidenScript program that prints a plain PPM to stdout, so I changed the palette in the script and ran it again: three radial glows, a faint grid, a vertical gradient on the bolt, and a 5x7 bitmap font that is data inside the file, not a system font. It computes 315,000 pixels in 43 seconds. That is my tree-walking interpreter doing arithmetic in a while loop, with no graphics library in the program and none in the language. My first render was wrong and I had to say so. The old cover put a turquoise bolt on a violet field, so the contrast came from hue. In red on red there is no hue left to lean on, and the bolt sank into the background. I cut the background glow to a third and pushed the bolt to a near-white core, so the contrast now comes from brightness. I cleaned the repository behind it. My README still linked to SPEC.md and WORKLOG.md after I deleted them, so anyone cloning it hit two dead links on the front page. I removed those links and rewrote the root README and two demo READMEs without tables. Why did I do it like this? Because a cover drawn in an image editor says nothing about my language, and a cover computed by it is the smallest honest benchmark I own. If the language cannot fill 315,000 pixels, I want to know that before someone else finds out. Because 43 seconds is a real number and I am not hiding it. It is fine for a cover I render once, and it is exactly why a bytecode VM sits on my roadmap instead of being marked done. Because a README that points at files I deleted is a promise I broke to whoever clones the repo, and that is the first thing a reviewer sees."}, {"post_id": 46568, "ts": "2026-08-13T21:53:11Z", "hours": 30.61, "text": "The loop that fixes the language is written in the language Since the last devlog the work split in two: a development loop that RaidenScript now drives itself, and a repository that finally stopped mixing the language with a game server. selfdev - the decision logic is a .rai file tools/selfdev.rai holds the loop’s rules: pick an area nobody touched last round, run the build, read the log, call the pass green or red, append its own entry to a round journal. Under it sits tools/rsdev.cpp, a sys.* host built on the same C API the browser game and the Minecraft plugin already use. The language had three hosts. The fourth one is its own toolchain. Pass 2 taught it what not to trust. tools/selfdev-build.cmd reported EXIT=0 for a run that failed to link. The cause is not in the language at all: exit /b inside a ( … ) » log 2>&1 block does not end a .cmd script, so control falls through to the final exit /b 0. A loop whose whole contract is “exit 0 means green” can commit on red - and it did once, on stale .o files. The rule now is read the log, not the exit code, and it is written in capitals at the top of SELFDEV-NOTES.md because I expect to forget it. What the passes actually fixed String building was quadratic. At 60,000 pieces: s += x took 1879 ms, s = s + x took 2382 ms, against a list.push + join baseline of 54 ms - 35x and 44x. Strings stay immutable (SPEC section 2), the fix is ownership: when the slot is the only owner, append in place. Both forms now run in about 25 ms. The indexed form d[k] += x was a separate code path and stayed quadratic after the first fix, so it took a second pass to catch. The measurement size was part of the test. At 24,000 pieces the s = s + x check passed green: 288 KB fits in L2 and quadratic copying looks cheap in cache. At 60,000 (720 KB) both went red. f-strings could not hold a quoted string inside an interpolation, although SPEC 9/3 said they could. f”{sys.read(“a.txt”)}” was a syntax error. The spec was right and the parser was wrong. A blank line in a CRLF file closed a block early. The lone \\r counted as content - the kind of bug that only shows up on someone else’s machine. Two C API bugs: rs_call could return an empty error message, and a nested rs_call corrupted the string channel of the outer primitive. The JVM bridge silently collapsed an int-returning host primitive to 0. Silent zeros are the worst class: the plugin keeps running and the numbers are simply wrong. 68 C API checks green, zero compiler warnings, sanitizer run clean. 29 keywords, still capped at 30. No C API signature changed. The branch split 227 commits had piled up unpushed and 216 of them were the Minecraft plugin demo. I reset main to origin, cherry-picked only the 13 language and tooling commits, and left the rest on its own branch. main is the language. Nothing else goes there. Most of the time logged on this project since the last devlog went into that plugin demo - the JVM binding exercised against a real server - and that branch is not on GitHub yet. The language fixes above came out of the unattended loop.I read every pass and hand-picked what entered main. The design, the spec and the original src/ are mine.

I built it, then kept reading instead of building, and the audit found six more. THE COUNTER A script that recurses too deep does not raise an error. It kills the process. On a Minecraft server that means every player drops and the log has not one line about it - no Java exception, no hs_err file, exit code 127. The tempting fix is a bigger stack, but that only moves the wall: with -Xss16m the JVM dies at ~5000 frames instead of ~500, the same way. So the interpreter counts instead. Every script call goes through one function, and past the limit it raises an ordinary Error - catchable with try/catch, readable through rs_last_error. Picking the number mattered more than writing it. My notes said “4000”, my measurements said that was useless: native and wasm hit the wall near 1000 frames, a default JVM thread at ~500, because each script frame costs about 1.7 KB of native stack. A limit above the wall protects nobody. So: 800, and the JNI bridge drops it to 400 because it knows what stack it stands on. The counter also has to be restored no matter HOW a call exits - return, return signal, or exception. My restore lines covered two of those three paths; a destructor covers all three and cannot be forgotten. A CRASH ANY SCRIPT COULD TRIGGER \"a,b\".split(5) That was enough to kill the host. split assumed its argument was a string, dereferenced a checked cast without checking it, and got a null pointer. Eight builtins had the same line copied into them. In a standalone language that is a segfault. In an embedded one, any script author can take down the server with a typo. It is now a type error naming the method. OPERATORS THAT WERE NEVER REACHABLE The lexer produced tokens for & | ^ « ». The interpreter had the arithmetic for all five. Every test passed. But no rule in the parser ever read those tokens, so “flags & 4” got “expression expected, found ‘&’”, and the code in the other two layers had never once run. Three layers agreeing on a feature is not the same as three layers connected by it. The fix was four precedence levels, ordered like Python and C - no new keywords, so the language stays at 29 of 30. THE SMALL ONES throw Error(“amount missing”) reached the host as “”: the CLI path pulled out the message field, the embedding path did not. 2 ** 64 wrapped silently to 0. 1 « 64 was undefined behaviour - on x86 the CPU takes the shift count modulo 64, so it quietly evaluates to 1. And an exception thrown from a single-expression lambda left the interpreter in the lambda’s scope, so the catch block ran against the wrong variables. WHERE IT STANDS The C API suite is 20 checks now, five written for these bugs; the wasm suite 7; 11 examples still run; zero warnings. The guard is verified on native, wasm and JNI separately, and in each one the process was still alive after the limit was hit. Three problems stay open, in the README rather than hidden: an exception escaping a host function leaks stack, string += is quadratic, and a script returning a string to rs_call still yields 0. ON THE AI SPLIT This changes what I said last time, so I am saying it plainly. Until now AI had not touched src/. This round it did: I asked it to audit the interpreter and fix what it found, and the C++ in these seven fixes is AI-written from that audit. The language itself - lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, string channel - is still my design and was written by me. Host bindings and demo apps were already AI-written from my designs, as I said last devlog.

Since then it left the browser too, and the way out taught me more than the way in. STRINGS WITHOUT LYING ABOUT NUMBERS The C boundary only carried doubles. That was a deliberate choice: a number is copied, so nobody has to ask who owns it. Then I tried to write a bank UI and stopped in the first ten minutes. An IBAN is text. An error message is text. The tempting fix is to pass a handle: “this double is really an index into a string table”. I did not do it. A contract like that is invisible, and the first time somebody misreads it the program moves the wrong money without a warning. So strings travel BESIDE the numbers instead of inside them. args[] did not change by a single byte, rs_host_fn kept its signature, and my already-shipped game’s bridge kept working untouched. Text is pulled by the script, not pushed by the host: script: iban = ui.input(\"iban\") host : reads the field name, returns the value THE 64 KILOBYTE FLOOR Then I asked whether the language could drive an animated web page, and measured instead of guessing. 490,000 host calls per second. 200 elements updated twice each = 1.45 ms, nine percent of a frame. Fine. What was not fine: recursion died at depth 130. Not with an error - with memory corruption. After it, the whole WebAssembly module was dead; I could not even open a fresh VM on it. Emscripten’s default stack is 64 KB, and a tree-walking interpreter spends several C++ frames per script frame. Adding -sSTACK_SIZE=8MB moved the safe depth past 1000 and turned overflow into a catchable error. Cost: the .wasm grew by three bytes. Then a worse one. If a host function throws, the exception unwinds through the interpreter’s frames without restoring the stack pointer, and that space never comes back. I measured the drift: 5,000 escaping exceptions took the safe depth from 1000 to 937. At 50,000 the module died. Fix: never let an exception cross the boundary - catch it in the bridge. THE THIRD HOST Then JNI, and the language went into a Minecraft server. Same C header, a different bridge, and the design copied deliberately: numbers in the array, strings in the channel beside it. The plugin is a custom enchanting table. Sixteen enchants, seven rarity tiers, slot limits per rarity, conflicts, an XP cost curve, and the block of text drawn on the item - all of it in one .rai file. The Java side is two classes that do not contain a single enchant name. Stats are written into the schema my existing combat plugin already reads, so enchants change real damage without one line changing in the plugins that were already there. Because there is no compile step, /rai reload changes the rules while players are online. A live server found a bug I had not: NamespacedKey only accepts [a-z0-9/._-] and my enchant ids are camelCase. The bridge’s catch turned what would have been a crash into a log line, and the log line named the key. THE SAME BUG THREE TIMES Native: depth 1000, then a silent death, exit code 127. WebAssembly: 130, then corruption. JVM: 500, then the whole server dies with no Java exception and no crash log. One cause - I recurse on the native stack and never count the depth. Three hosts made it obvious in a way one host never would have. That counter is next. ON THE AI SPLIT The core is mine: lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, the string channel.

One interpreter, three hosts Last devlog my language could define a weapon in my shipped game. Since then it left the browser too, and the way out taught me more than the way in. STRINGS WITHOUT LYING ABOUT NUMBERS The C boundary only carried doubles. That was a deliberate choice: a number is copied, so nobody has to ask who owns it. Then I tried to write a bank UI and stopped in the first ten minutes. An IBAN is text. An error message is text. The tempting fix is to pass a handle: “this double is really an index into a string table”. I did not do it. A contract like that is invisible, and the first time somebody misreads it the program moves the wrong money without a warning. So strings travel BESIDE the numbers instead of inside them. args[] did not change by a single byte, rs_host_fn kept its signature, and my already-shipped game’s bridge kept working untouched. Text is pulled by the script, not pushed by the host: script: iban = ui.input("iban") host : reads the field name, returns the value THE 64 KILOBYTE FLOOR Then I asked whether the language could drive an animated web page, and measured instead of guessing. 490,000 host calls per second. 200 elements updated twice each = 1.45 ms, nine percent of a frame. Fine. What was not fine: recursion died at depth 130. Not with an error - with memory corruption. After it, the whole WebAssembly module was dead; I could not even open a fresh VM on it. Emscripten’s default stack is 64 KB, and a tree-walking interpreter spends several C++ frames per script frame. Adding -sSTACK_SIZE=8MB moved the safe depth past 1000 and turned overflow into a catchable error. Cost: the .wasm grew by three bytes. Then a worse one. If a host function throws, the exception unwinds through the interpreter’s frames without restoring the stack pointer, and that space never comes back. I measured the drift: 5,000 escaping exceptions took the safe depth from 1000 to 937. At 50,000 the module died. Fix: never let an exception cross the boundary - catch it in the bridge. THE THIRD HOST Then JNI, and the language went into a Minecraft server. Same C header, a different bridge, and the design copied deliberately: numbers in the array, strings in the channel beside it. The plugin is a custom enchanting table. Sixteen enchants, seven rarity tiers, slot limits per rarity, conflicts, an XP cost curve, and the block of text drawn on the item - all of it in one .rai file. The Java side is two classes that do not contain a single enchant name. Stats are written into the schema my existing combat plugin already reads, so enchants change real damage without one line changing in the plugins that were already there. Because there is no compile step, /rai reload changes the rules while players are online. A live server found a bug I had not: NamespacedKey only accepts [a-z0-9/._-] and my enchant ids are camelCase. The bridge’s catch turned what would have been a crash into a log line, and the log line named the key. THE SAME BUG THREE TIMES Native: depth 1000, then a silent death, exit code 127. WebAssembly: 130, then corruption. JVM: 500, then the whole server dies with no Java exception and no crash log. One cause - I recurse on the native stack and never count the depth. Three hosts made it obvious in a way one host never would have. That counter is next. ON THE AI SPLIT The core is mine: lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, the string channel. AI has not touched src/ and I checked the history before writing this. The host bindings and the demos are AI-written from my designs - the browser binding, the JNI bridge, and three demo apps. Logged hours are my editor time only.
Seven bugs, and the ones that were never reachable Last devlog promised a depth counter for the crash that hit all three hosts. I built it, then kept reading instead of building, and the audit found six more. THE COUNTER A script that recurses too deep does not raise an error. It kills the process. On a Minecraft server that means every player drops and the log has not one line about it - no Java exception, no hs_err file, exit code 127. The tempting fix is a bigger stack, but that only moves the wall: with -Xss16m the JVM dies at ~5000 frames instead of ~500, the same way. So the interpreter counts instead. Every script call goes through one function, and past the limit it raises an ordinary Error - catchable with try/catch, readable through rs_last_error. Picking the number mattered more than writing it. My notes said “4000”, my measurements said that was useless: native and wasm hit the wall near 1000 frames, a default JVM thread at ~500, because each script frame costs about 1.7 KB of native stack. A limit above the wall protects nobody. So: 800, and the JNI bridge drops it to 400 because it knows what stack it stands on. The counter also has to be restored no matter HOW a call exits - return, return signal, or exception. My restore lines covered two of those three paths; a destructor covers all three and cannot be forgotten. A CRASH ANY SCRIPT COULD TRIGGER "a,b".split(5) That was enough to kill the host. split assumed its argument was a string, dereferenced a checked cast without checking it, and got a null pointer. Eight builtins had the same line copied into them. In a standalone language that is a segfault. In an embedded one, any script author can take down the server with a typo. It is now a type error naming the method. OPERATORS THAT WERE NEVER REACHABLE The lexer produced tokens for & | ^ « ». The interpreter had the arithmetic for all five. Every test passed. But no rule in the parser ever read those tokens, so “flags & 4” got “expression expected, found ‘&’”, and the code in the other two layers had never once run. Three layers agreeing on a feature is not the same as three layers connected by it. The fix was four precedence levels, ordered like Python and C - no new keywords, so the language stays at 29 of 30. THE SMALL ONES throw Error(“amount missing”) reached the host as “”: the CLI path pulled out the message field, the embedding path did not. 2 ** 64 wrapped silently to 0. 1 « 64 was undefined behaviour - on x86 the CPU takes the shift count modulo 64, so it quietly evaluates to 1. And an exception thrown from a single-expression lambda left the interpreter in the lambda’s scope, so the catch block ran against the wrong variables. WHERE IT STANDS The C API suite is 20 checks now, five written for these bugs; the wasm suite 7; 11 examples still run; zero warnings. The guard is verified on native, wasm and JNI separately, and in each one the process was still alive after the limit was hit. Three problems stay open, in the README rather than hidden: an exception escaping a host function leaks stack, string += is quadratic, and a script returning a string to rs_call still yields 0. ON THE AI SPLIT This changes what I said last time, so I am saying it plainly. Until now AI had not touched src/. This round it did: I asked it to audit the interpreter and fix what it found, and the C++ in these seven fixes is AI-written from that audit. The language itself - lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, string channel - is still my design and was written by me. Host bindings and demo apps were already AI-written from my designs, as I said last devlog. Logged hours are my editor time only.
The loop that fixes the language is written in the language Since the last devlog the work split in two: a development loop that RaidenScript now drives itself, and a repository that finally stopped mixing the language with a game server. selfdev - the decision logic is a .rai file tools/selfdev.rai holds the loop’s rules: pick an area nobody touched last round, run the build, read the log, call the pass green or red, append its own entry to a round journal. Under it sits tools/rsdev.cpp, a sys.* host built on the same C API the browser game and the Minecraft plugin already use. The language had three hosts. The fourth one is its own toolchain. Pass 2 taught it what not to trust. tools/selfdev-build.cmd reported EXIT=0 for a run that failed to link. The cause is not in the language at all: exit /b inside a ( … ) » log 2>&1 block does not end a .cmd script, so control falls through to the final exit /b 0. A loop whose whole contract is “exit 0 means green” can commit on red - and it did once, on stale .o files. The rule now is read the log, not the exit code, and it is written in capitals at the top of SELFDEV-NOTES.md because I expect to forget it. What the passes actually fixed String building was quadratic. At 60,000 pieces: s += x took 1879 ms, s = s + x took 2382 ms, against a list.push + join baseline of 54 ms - 35x and 44x. Strings stay immutable (SPEC section 2), the fix is ownership: when the slot is the only owner, append in place. Both forms now run in about 25 ms. The indexed form d[k] += x was a separate code path and stayed quadratic after the first fix, so it took a second pass to catch. The measurement size was part of the test. At 24,000 pieces the s = s + x check passed green: 288 KB fits in L2 and quadratic copying looks cheap in cache. At 60,000 (720 KB) both went red. f-strings could not hold a quoted string inside an interpolation, although SPEC 9/3 said they could. f”{sys.read(“a.txt”)}” was a syntax error. The spec was right and the parser was wrong. A blank line in a CRLF file closed a block early. The lone \r counted as content - the kind of bug that only shows up on someone else’s machine. Two C API bugs: rs_call could return an empty error message, and a nested rs_call corrupted the string channel of the outer primitive. The JVM bridge silently collapsed an int-returning host primitive to 0. Silent zeros are the worst class: the plugin keeps running and the numbers are simply wrong. 68 C API checks green, zero compiler warnings, sanitizer run clean. 29 keywords, still capped at 30. No C API signature changed. The branch split 227 commits had piled up unpushed and 216 of them were the Minecraft plugin demo. I reset main to origin, cherry-picked only the 13 language and tooling commits, and left the rest on its own branch. main is the language. Nothing else goes there. Most of the time logged on this project since the last devlog went into that plugin demo - the JVM binding exercised against a real server - and that branch is not on GitHub yet. The language fixes above came out of the unattended loop.I read every pass and hand-picked what entered main. The design, the spec and the original src/ are mine. Logged hours are my editor time only.
RaidenScript: the cover is a program, not a picture I gave the project a red and black cover, and I did it without opening an image editor. The cover generator is a RaidenScript program that prints a plain PPM to stdout, so I changed the palette in the script and ran it again: three radial glows, a faint grid, a vertical gradient on the bolt, and a 5x7 bitmap font that is data inside the file, not a system font. It computes 315,000 pixels in 43 seconds. That is my tree-walking interpreter doing arithmetic in a while loop, with no graphics library in the program and none in the language. My first render was wrong and I had to say so. The old cover put a turquoise bolt on a violet field, so the contrast came from hue. In red on red there is no hue left to lean on, and the bolt sank into the background. I cut the background glow to a third and pushed the bolt to a near-white core, so the contrast now comes from brightness. I cleaned the repository behind it. My README still linked to SPEC.md and WORKLOG.md after I deleted them, so anyone cloning it hit two dead links on the front page. I removed those links and rewrote the root README and two demo READMEs without tables. Why did I do it like this? Because a cover drawn in an image editor says nothing about my language, and a cover computed by it is the smallest honest benchmark I own. If the language cannot fill 315,000 pixels, I want to know that before someone else finds out. Because 43 seconds is a real number and I am not hiding it. It is fine for a cover I render once, and it is exactly why a bytecode VM sits on my roadmap instead of being marked done. Because a README that points at files I deleted is a promise I broke to whoever clones the repo, and that is the first thing a reviewer sees.
Ships:
RaidenScript v0.1 — an embeddable scripting language written from scratch in C++20. WHAT IT IS A small language (29 keywords) with Python’s readability and JavaScript’s runtime model, built to go inside another program and make it scriptable. The same interpreter runs in three hosts, and each one has a working demo in the repo: Terminal — native binary, “rai program.rai”, plus a REPL Browser — C API compiled to WebAssembly, running an animated store page JVM — C API through JNI, running a Paper Minecraft plugin The demo link is my shipped game STAR BREAKER: one of its weapons is not defined in the game at all, it is a RaidenScript file the game loads and runs through the WebAssembly build. WHAT IS IN IT Lexer, parser, resolver, tree-walking interpreter and REPL, all hand-written; no parser generator, no dependencies. 16 example programs that double as the regression suite, 20 C API checks, 7 WebAssembly checks, zero compiler warnings. A recursion-depth guard so a runaway script raises a catchable error instead of killing the host process — verified separately on native, wasm and the JVM. The cover image was computed pixel by pixel by a RaidenScript program (demo/kapak/kapak-ascii.rai) — no graphics library, in the program or in the language. HOW TO TRY IT git clone, then “make” (w64devkit/MinGW on Windows, gcc elsewhere), then “rai examples/01-temeller.rai”, or just “rai” for the REPL. The README is a full manual: language guide, standard library, embedding walkthrough. Known limits are written down there rather than hidden: an exception escaping a host function leaks stack, string += is quadratic, and a script returning a string to rs_call still yields 0. AI SPLIT The design of the language and its core — lexer, parser, resolver, interpreter, REPL, C API, string channel — is mine and was written by me. The host bindings, the demo apps, and this week’s seven interpreter bug fixes are AI-written from my designs and my audit. Logged hours are my editor time only. Source (MIT): github.com/RaidenTechnology/raidenscript
RaidenScript v0.2 Update I wrote RaidenScript (RS) from scratch in C++20 as a small embeddable scripting language. In Ship #1 I had it running in three hosts. Since then I gave it a browser you can try it in, and I turned the Minecraft host into a real game running on a live server. I put the language in a browser. I compiled the C API to WebAssembly, served it from GitHub Pages, and wrote an editor with a Run button and four example programs: raidentechnology.github.io/raidenscript. I send nothing to a server; the page is the interpreter. I stopped treating the Minecraft host as a demo. I wrote 144 commits on it since the last devlog, and I keep the rules out of Java entirely: they sit in one .rai file the server loads at boot and reloads while players are online. I wrote a whole farming layer as script rules. Every crop got its own tool with its own level and rarity ladder, and I added tool enchants, XP bottles, an upgrade bench, and a 20 minute contest with medals and a shop of its own. I added pests. Twelve species, a spawn engine I tied to whatever crop is planted, a five-tier vacuum to kill them with, and a loot table I hooked into the same farming-luck stat every other system reads. I built a garden around it: 8 plots, a regeneration engine that rebuilds 13 farm patterns, 76 visitor NPCs I gave 53 signed skins, and a copper economy I priced off the live Bazaar API instead of numbers I made up. I added one host primitive, taslakModel, and let the script choose the model an item wears. Adding an item is now a script edit and nothing else. I fixed three bugs the live server found and no test of mine would have. An item-identity gate was cancelling every right click unconditionally, so the grappling hook silently never fired. The area hoe was catching its own synthetic event and moving the stack twice. And one wrong price in a shop table was failing the entire script at boot. Why did I do it like this? Because I think a language is judged by what runs on it, not by its grammar. The strongest thing I can say about my embedding API is that a 10,000 line ruleset runs on it every night, on a real server, with real players. Because I lose reviewers at the install wall. For Ship #1 I asked people to clone a repo and build it with MinGW. Now I ask for one click, and I am handing them the same interpreter, not a simplified twin. Because every rule I move out of Java is a rule I can change without a restart. I left no compile step in the script layer, so /rai reload changes the balance of a live game between two swings of a sword. Because item models were the last thing still forcing me into Java. I closed that hole, and I now keep the Java side as infrastructure only: it knows how to talk to the server and nothing about what the game is. Because I wanted the contest, the pests and the visitor queue to stress the C boundary. I pass numbers in the array and let strings travel beside it, and not one of these systems made me widen that contract. Because a bug a player hits at 2 AM is worth more to me than a bug I find in my own suite. All three above came from the server. Source (MIT): github.com/RaidenTechnology/raidenscript...

I built the Thirdview project, but after shipping it, I received requests to make the design more appealing. I didn’t love the original look either, so I am redesigning the UI and adding more color. By the way, I am also working on a new feature—see if you can guess what it is!
Another new feature, I copied it from Github, because I have used it many time.
#Devlog:1 of #Ship:2 Hi guys, when I shipped my first project, 2-3 people said that I used AI. I really did use it, but in different ways, and now I am also feeling ashamed of myself. Why? Because that was my first project, and my manner of writing code is not good, I even dn’t like what I write myself. That’s why I used AI by giving it my own code and tellng it to make it professional, understandable, and much more. That was my mistake, but now after searching a lot, I understand it didn’t matter. So now I am going to write this project again with some more features, and mainly the UI, which looked very cheap (and I know people were also saying it is AI—by the way, I took color decisions from AI). But now, instead of asking any AI out of fear of making mistakes, that fear has gone, and I am going to design everything by myself. However, my JavaScript is a little bit weak, so I am gong to use AI for learning purposes, but now I will upload the raw code that I write. By the way, the new feature will contain a YouTube video link.
#Devlog:2 of #Ship:2 I have implemented two things: 1.Now you can paste the link of a YouTube video and it will help you find the timestamp. Although I have just created the HTML, this time I didn’t have an idea of how I will grab the frames. By the way, I think I’ll try to download the video in low quality, and then grab the frames. If anyone has any ideas, just let me know, or I’ll try to serch and understand an easier way. 2. I have implemented a new model (Audio Model). In the Shipwright review video, I saw that the reviewer typed “MrBeast saying ‘Red Light,’” and my website at that time was only able to search through visuals. But now it can walk through the vocal parts. It converts the video’s audio into text, and then it will match the query. But here’s an error: we can’t check the query’s exact result matching percentage, and it may create some problems. By the way, when you search, it has two options like @visual and @vocal . So when you select one, it only runs that one model. But if you have added say or said, then it also runs both things simultaneously. If you only put one thing, then it runs one model only, so it saves memory and works fast. But let’s suppose you didn’t select either one; then for accurate results, it runs both models.
#Devlog:3 of #Ship:2 I have just put my real hosted website into maintenance mode. Normally, if I push code to GitHub, Vercel automatically hosts the new version. If someone visits suddenly during that time, they might think the website has a code error. That’s why I created a vercel.json file a week ago and now pushed it to GitHub. Now, I can continuously make changes for a while without any tension related to the main website, because it always shows that it is in maintenance.
#Devlog:4 of #Ship:2 I have made the HTML, and now I’m working on the CSS. I am making the UI look good. By the way, I think I have done only 30-40% of the CSS, and I think I’ll try to complete it today. Then, I’ll start focusing on the logic, like JavaScript, because it is our main stuff. I’d take inspiration from YouTube, like using YouTube’s color palette, and the structure is like the old one.
#Devlog:5 of #Ship:2 I have made my UI, and now I have to write the logic. The best part is that I have messed up my style.css file. I want to improve it more, but I got confused with my colors. I gave names to the colors, but in the end, I could not understand my own color pattern or what I had decided to use each color for. By the way, I think the UI looks good. Now, let’s talk about the UI features: I have made the header sticky and also added a blur effect to it. Instead of taking YouTube’s color palette, I used a popular palette from coolors.co because I liked it at first sight. You can see the UI below.
#Devlog:6 of #Ship:2 I have made these files, but now my logic has hit a limitation because YouTube doesn’t allow frame extraction. To solve this, we are using a public API which helps a lot with YouTube search. I use yt-dlp to resolve the YouTube URL, specifically using an Invidious public API. I know it might get shut down sometimes by YouTube, but what can we do? I will use my own yt-dlp backend to get a CORS-friendly video stream. By doing this, we can access the YouTube video as a .mp4 file, which allows us to extract frames. Let’s see if it works perfectly or not. However, my own backend will work for only 7 days because it is an open-source project.
Hey Everyone, I’m going to continue my ThirdView project again but this time, its name will be Thirdview Max, because it is the updated version, so. Now, you can also see the old version at github, which is at another repo. But Thirdview Max have more and extra feature then Thirdview, now it can give accurate result, but in past I said that it also have feature, by which you can just paste link, nd find the part. But because, i have to fetch the video in .mp4 first, which is difficult part, I tried, but i failed. That’s why I decided to skip this feature. and the main things, the Ui is going to completely change.
HTML is completed, now I have to style it, and have to make the logic. Because our project is completely base on logic, so the javascript will be too long. Nd i also suffer sometimes with making logic, and let see what happen:D
I have changed the UI, and some elements are hidden, because when we upload video then it appears. And now I’m going to write the logic(Javascript), i’m too fast because I have already made it, so basic things don’t take much time, but now i’m going to work on logic, and i also have to add some more features, so i think it usually takes 3-4 hours, and then the projects will get completed.
Right now, I just commit my code, because at the last time, i skip this project without writing devlog and committing. The stardance is going to end, so I just going to ship it and the project is wroking perfectly.
Ships:
I made ThirdView - you type a description of a scene and it jumps straight to that moment in a video, instead of scrubbing through the timeline forever. It runs fully in the browser using CLIP through Transformer.js, no uploads, no server. The hard part was getting an actual ML model to run smoothly with zero backend, plus CLIP wasn’t built for video, so figuring out how often to sample frames took a lot of trial and error. What we’re proud of is that it just works fully private, fully free, and it actually fixes something that annoys us every single time we watch something not together, without turning into some bloated overengineered app.
The project is finally complete, by the way. It was completed a month ago. But i really forgot this. Right now thirdview max uses two search @visual and @vocal , by the help of this. Evrything is working. t was fun when I was making it....

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

Try it: https://trystudybuddy.vercel.app Code: https://github.com/DagaVedant/StudyBuddy What I made Upload a worksheet you already finished, as a PDF or photos. A vision model pulls out every question, its options and its answer key. You mark what you got wrong. That is the only input it needs. It sorts questions into 87 topics across SAT and competition maths. Then it ranks your weak areas and schedules revision using FSRS, the algorithm behind Anki. It also writes practice questions on your weak topics and exports misses to Blooket. Built on my own past papers: 387 real questions from 22 worksheets. What was challenging The models can run in four places: my GPU, your API key, your own Ollama, or not at all. A student with a GPU should never send homework to my server. A student with nothing should still get something. Topic tagging needs an embedding model that serverless hosting cannot run. So the shortlist is a pgvector query on the server and the vector is computed anywhere, including in your browser under WebAssembly. Worst bug was three characters: I stored the global fetch on a class field, which passes the object as the receiver. Node allows it, browsers throw Illegal invocation. Every test passed and the only runtime that mattered was broken. What I am proud of It does not lie to you. Weak topics are ranked by a Wilson lower bound, not a raw percentage, so two unlucky answers cannot fake a weakness. Model-written questions are kept out of your accuracy, so the ranking cannot feed the questions it generates. Every model response is schema-checked before it reaches the database. Generated practice is sifted against thirteen specific failure modes. When my GPU is off, the upload screen says so instead of spinning. 1,459 unit tests, 84 end to end, 293 commits. How to test it Sign in with Google, or an email and password. Upload any worksheet you have already done. A past paper works well. Check what it read. Each question sits beside the page image it came from. Mark what you missed, then open the dashboard. The free trial reads three worksheets on my own GPU. If it is off, your upload queues and the app tells you.

at least i know the other half is the problem. \\f is a form feed and \\t is a tab, both totally valid , so \\frac{44}{11} parses perfectly and quietly becomes a form feed followed by rac{44}{11} i had an AMC8 question in my database reading ?rac{44}{11} and nothing anywhere reported a problem fix has to run before the first parse , not in the catch block, cuz the version that actually hurts u never throws it doubles the backslash on letter runs JSON would misread, but only the six that collide (b f n r t u) and only when the run spells a real command. otherwise a real line break stops being a line break, which is a fun way to make things worse questions torn in half by the page break extraction reads one page at a time and never sees the page before or after. so a question ending at the bottom of page 3 with its answer choices at the top of page 4 is never whole in either request . five of them on the AMC8 paper one fix folds the halves back together. the other is for the worse case where the extractor returned nothing at all for the second half, cuz a bare block of answer choices isnt a question so the model just drops it. theyre still sitting in the next pages text layer tho, u just have to go get them sorting questions within a page needed its own module cuz the bounding boxes lie . question 4 came back with a top of 1428 and question 5 with 1379, so pure geometry puts them backwards AMC8 went from 19 of 25 questions having their answer choices to 24 of 25 , zero false positives across 348 SHSAT pages stuff that broke a worksheet told me it had 26 questions when the paper has 25 . the extra one was the axis labels off a diagram, and the SHSAT ones had rows that just said CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PAGE. dropped 23 rows, all page furniture then immediately shipped a followup bug where the card read “Questions 25” next to “Unchecked 26” cuz i filtered one count and forgot the other one lol tried just asking the model to return a carried answer block as half a question. produced zero of them and started relabelling stem-only questions as free response, which hides the damage from every check i have. reverted the landing page every animation was gated behind prefers-reduced-motion , which sounds responsible until u find out some managed windows installs ship with animation effects off by default . so the page whose whole job is showing the product working was showing a static screenshot the hero panel gets dealt onto the page like a card now. needs a perspective on the parent or the rotations collapse into a shear and it just looks like a slide the forgetting curve draws itself left to right. stroke-dashoffset does not work here , pathLength is silently ignored under vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke so the dash tiles across the path instead of spanning it once. and i need non-scaling-stroke or the line renders 9x too thick . used a page-coloured shutter instead next things: that one AMC8 question needs reading off the page image since the text layer doesnt have it. and theres a cheaper reduced-motion compromise i wrote down but havent built."}, {"post_id": 42187, "ts": "2026-08-06T20:02:11Z", "hours": 13.8281, "text": "Devlog 1 - StudyBuddy so ive been doing SHSAT practice tests for a while and the thing that always got me is that after i mark one, i have like 20 wrong answers and no idea what to actually do with that info . like ok i got 12 questions wrong, but am i bad at geometry or did i just misread three questions? no clue. so id end up redoing entire sections i was already fine at. basically what im building is a web app where u upload a worksheet or a practice test (pdf or even just a photo of the page) and it reads every question off it, figures out what topic each one is, and then after u mark which ones u got wrong it schedules them to come back later using FSRS (same spaced repetition algo anki uses). the thing that makes it diff from just writing ur mistakes in a notebook is that it tracks topics across every test u ever upload . one test says nothing. five tests and it can actually tell u “ur bad at ratios” with a straight face. the AI runs on my own laptop i did not want to pay for an api. so the vision model that reads the pages runs on my own rtx 5080 . it sits at home and asks the deployed site for jobs, and it only ever dials outward so theres no port open on my home network. if my laptops off, uploads just queue instead of dying. the part i was most wrong about i picked the model i was using (qwen2.5vl:7b) literally because it was the first one i pulled . thats the whole reason. so i finally benchmarked it properly, 9 models on a real 58 page shsat paper, 114 questions . the one i already had won?? the 27b model is 4x bigger, scored 6 points WORSE , and took 183 seconds per page vs 7.8 . id been assuming for weeks that upgrading would fix my accuracy problems lol. also the grading was free which i was way too happy about. every question number 1-114 shows up exactly once on the paper so the test just grades itself , i never labelled a single page by hand. the bug that was actually my fault so when i looked at WHICH questions got missed they werent random, they came in chunks . one model dropped 17 questions in a row . turns out every single miss on every model was a page that came back completely empty . not a wrong answer. nothing. and that was my bug not the models . an empty reply gives 0 questions and no error, so my checker (which only looked for gaps in question numbering) saw nothing wrong and the upload said success while a whole page just quietly disappeared . fixed with one retry at a slightly higher temperature cuz a model that decided to output nothing will decide that again if u ask it the exact same way. stuff that broke i wrote a check to catch questions that got cut off mid sentence (flag anything not ending in punctuation) and it flagged 25 out of 114 questions on a CLEAN run . all wrong. turns out shsat questions end with like “by” or “through” all the time and the answer choices finish the sentence. fixed it and it changed literally zero outcomes so the rule was doing nothing the whole time. also added rate limiting and instantly locked myself out of my own test suite , which signs up way more than 5 times an hour from localhost. also deleted my entire email system . u need a domain u own to send emails (spf/dkim records) and a free .vercel.app subdomain cant do that. so instead of buying a domain i deleted 274 lines and made google sign in the front door. next things: tier B uploads dont get topic tags yet, and theres one test failing on purpose cuz FSRS says a question u just got wrong is due in 1 minute but i think it should be due immediately. gotta pick one."}]...

Devlog 1 - StudyBuddy so ive been doing SHSAT practice tests for a while and the thing that always got me is that after i mark one, i have like 20 wrong answers and no idea what to actually do with that info . like ok i got 12 questions wrong, but am i bad at geometry or did i just misread three questions? no clue. so id end up redoing entire sections i was already fine at. basically what im building is a web app where u upload a worksheet or a practice test (pdf or even just a photo of the page) and it reads every question off it, figures out what topic each one is, and then after u mark which ones u got wrong it schedules them to come back later using FSRS (same spaced repetition algo anki uses). the thing that makes it diff from just writing ur mistakes in a notebook is that it tracks topics across every test u ever upload . one test says nothing. five tests and it can actually tell u “ur bad at ratios” with a straight face. the AI runs on my own laptop i did not want to pay for an api. so the vision model that reads the pages runs on my own rtx 5080 . it sits at home and asks the deployed site for jobs, and it only ever dials outward so theres no port open on my home network. if my laptops off, uploads just queue instead of dying. the part i was most wrong about i picked the model i was using (qwen2.5vl:7b) literally because it was the first one i pulled . thats the whole reason. so i finally benchmarked it properly, 9 models on a real 58 page shsat paper, 114 questions . the one i already had won?? the 27b model is 4x bigger, scored 6 points WORSE , and took 183 seconds per page vs 7.8 . id been assuming for weeks that upgrading would fix my accuracy problems lol. also the grading was free which i was way too happy about. every question number 1-114 shows up exactly once on the paper so the test just grades itself , i never labelled a single page by hand. the bug that was actually my fault so when i looked at WHICH questions got missed they werent random, they came in chunks . one model dropped 17 questions in a row . turns out every single miss on every model was a page that came back completely empty . not a wrong answer. nothing. and that was my bug not the models . an empty reply gives 0 questions and no error, so my checker (which only looked for gaps in question numbering) saw nothing wrong and the upload said success while a whole page just quietly disappeared . fixed with one retry at a slightly higher temperature cuz a model that decided to output nothing will decide that again if u ask it the exact same way. stuff that broke i wrote a check to catch questions that got cut off mid sentence (flag anything not ending in punctuation) and it flagged 25 out of 114 questions on a CLEAN run . all wrong. turns out shsat questions end with like “by” or “through” all the time and the answer choices finish the sentence. fixed it and it changed literally zero outcomes so the rule was doing nothing the whole time. also added rate limiting and instantly locked myself out of my own test suite , which signs up way more than 5 times an hour from localhost. also deleted my entire email system . u need a domain u own to send emails (spf/dkim records) and a free .vercel.app subdomain cant do that. so instead of buying a domain i deleted 274 lines and made google sign in the front door. next things: tier B uploads dont get topic tags yet, and theres one test failing on purpose cuz FSRS says a question u just got wrong is due in 1 minute but i think it should be due immediately. gotta pick one.
Devlog 2 - StudyBuddy HERE IS THE LINK TO TRY IT ( https://trystudybuddy.vercel.app/ ) left a pile of worksheets extracting overnight cuz i was sick of testing every fix against the same two papers. woke up to 9 worksheets, 713 questions, 353 pages everything below only shipped after i swept it over all of that first. rule i have now, after two earlier “fixes” that read perfectly and were wrong on real data a question that shipped reading ?rac{44}{11} i tell the model to write plain text. it writes LaTeX anyway sometimes that fails loudly. \sqrt isnt a valid JSON escape so the response explodes and i lose a page. thats fine?? at least i know the other half is the problem. \f is a form feed and \t is a tab, both totally valid , so \frac{44}{11} parses perfectly and quietly becomes a form feed followed by rac{44}{11} i had an AMC8 question in my database reading ?rac{44}{11} and nothing anywhere reported a problem fix has to run before the first parse , not in the catch block, cuz the version that actually hurts u never throws it doubles the backslash on letter runs JSON would misread, but only the six that collide (b f n r t u) and only when the run spells a real command. otherwise a real line break stops being a line break, which is a fun way to make things worse questions torn in half by the page break extraction reads one page at a time and never sees the page before or after. so a question ending at the bottom of page 3 with its answer choices at the top of page 4 is never whole in either request . five of them on the AMC8 paper one fix folds the halves back together. the other is for the worse case where the extractor returned nothing at all for the second half, cuz a bare block of answer choices isnt a question so the model just drops it. theyre still sitting in the next pages text layer tho, u just have to go get them sorting questions within a page needed its own module cuz the bounding boxes lie . question 4 came back with a top of 1428 and question 5 with 1379, so pure geometry puts them backwards AMC8 went from 19 of 25 questions having their answer choices to 24 of 25 , zero false positives across 348 SHSAT pages stuff that broke a worksheet told me it had 26 questions when the paper has 25 . the extra one was the axis labels off a diagram, and the SHSAT ones had rows that just said CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PAGE. dropped 23 rows, all page furniture then immediately shipped a followup bug where the card read “Questions 25” next to “Unchecked 26” cuz i filtered one count and forgot the other one lol tried just asking the model to return a carried answer block as half a question. produced zero of them and started relabelling stem-only questions as free response, which hides the damage from every check i have. reverted the landing page every animation was gated behind prefers-reduced-motion , which sounds responsible until u find out some managed windows installs ship with animation effects off by default . so the page whose whole job is showing the product working was showing a static screenshot the hero panel gets dealt onto the page like a card now. needs a perspective on the parent or the rotations collapse into a shear and it just looks like a slide the forgetting curve draws itself left to right. stroke-dashoffset does not work here , pathLength is silently ignored under vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke so the dash tiles across the path instead of spanning it once. and i need non-scaling-stroke or the line renders 9x too thick . used a page-coloured shutter instead next things: that one AMC8 question needs reading off the page image since the text layer doesnt have it. and theres a cheaper reduced-motion compromise i wrote down but havent built.
if any of you guys wanna try this out here is the link: https://trystudybuddy.vercel.app/ YOOOOO WE GOT OUR FIRST FEW USERS i just checked before sleeping and yo we have 14 worksheets in the processing queue right now i wonder how much we had before THANK YOU GUYS
Devlog 3 - StudyBuddy wrote a script that reads each papers own answer key out of the source pdf and diffs it against my database. so the paper grades me instead of me grading myself. those 14 sheets scored 1 of 14 the first time i pointed it at them. tonight theyre 14 of 14 . barely any of it was the model. one paper stored 8 of its 15 questions. the model had read all 15 the log said dropped 6 unreadable question(s) . a count. no reason. it said that for two days made it print which field rejected the question and it told me on the first run: choices.0.label: Too big: expected string to have <=8 characters answer labels are capped at 8 chars, but the cap runs before the function that shortens them. that function only exists cuz the model returns A. 60 instead of A so the cap was checked against exactly the thing the transform was written to fix. coordinate geometry paper, every option reads A. (-2, 3) , ten chars, binned a count with no reason cant tell u “model returned garbage” from “ur schema is stricter than the paper” and those have opposite fixes also 44 duplicate-answer flags, every one wrong: -2 and 2 both normalised to 2 lol. on a maths paper the sign IS the question.
Devlog 4 - StudyBuddy no new features today. just went hunting for stuff that was quietly broken, and there was way more of it than i expected the sign-in page could send u to a different website if someone handed u a link like /signin?next=someothersite.com , u would log in and then land on their page immediately after typing ur password, which is about the worst possible moment for that to happen this one went first there was no limit on login attempts i had limits on signing up and on uploading. somehow not on the actual password box so u could sit there and guess forever getting blocked now looks identical to just getting the password wrong. telling someone “too many attempts” quietly confirms the account exists file storage was writing into the void if one setting went missing it silently saved ur page images somewhere that doesnt survive on the server uploads said they worked. returned a success. images just gone nothing errored anywhere, which is why it sat there so long now it refuses to start up at all instead of pretending everything is fine i almost broke my whole test suite fixing something unrelated locked down two internal-only routes with what seemed like the obvious check except my tests run against a production build, so that check wouldve locked the tests out too caught it before it shipped, then wrote a test explaining it so future me doesnt helpfully undo it added security headers and instantly caught myself put them in report-only mode first so nothing could actually break about 40 seconds later it flagged a script that my own analytics loads the strict version wouldve blocked it in prod. i absolutely wouldve shipped that one fix i deleted instead of shipping had a note to add another check to the duplicate-question detector actually tested it against real papers first, and it turns out it can never trigger. the answers on a maths paper are just “4” and “9” and stuff, way too short for it to match on wouldve quietly made things worse all tests green at the end of it. onto the next pile
Devlog 5 - StudyBuddy “accept the remaining 114” checked none of them that button fires one save per question, and on my test paper thats 114 of them at once nothing read the answers back, so a save that failed looked exactly like one that worked the tick stayed on, u moved to the next screen, and it was never stored deleting a question said “Saved” and then didnt delete it delete waits a few seconds so u can undo it. it dropped the question from the list first and threw away whatever came back from the server so if it failed u got told it saved, and the question showed up in ur study queue later like nothing happened also there was no undo button anywhere. it was just a slow delete $5 was being eaten maths sometimes comes wrapped in dollar signs so i strip them off. money also comes wrapped in dollar signs “Sam has $5 and Ana has $12” was being read as “Sam has 5 and Ana has 12” checked a real saved question and yep. paper says $5, database said 5 if my worker died, ur worksheet said “queued” forever the machine that reads the pages runs at my house. if it fell over mid job, nothing anywhere ever marked that job as failed it just sat there, and the free credit it charged u never came back the topic tagging could fail without failing it needs a bit of software thats not always there on the server. when it wasnt, it came back with “no matches” which is a completely normal answer. so the job finished, every question was untagged, ur weak areas page was empty, and nothing anywhere was an error one i was told to do and didnt had a note to cap the page number by how many pages the worksheet has except if u upload pages 10 to 15 of a pdf thats six pages numbered 10 to 15, so that check refuses every single one of them capped the two things separately instead also the screen asking u to check questions against the page never showed the page finishing a review session stopped saying u finished it the AI could print its own error onto ur status page, which sometimes meant quoting ur own worksheet back at u the upload checked the image size by asking the browser instead of opening the image
Devlog 6 - StudyBuddy u can throw everything u got wrong into blooket now button on the dashboard for the whole account, and one per worksheet if u only want that paper it gives u a file, u upload it to blooket, u get a set of exactly the questions u missed wrong means ever wrong, not currently wrong. if u got it wrong on paper and then right in review, its still in there. thats the one u actually want to drill and it wouldve been weird to leave out blooket hands u an .xlsx template so everyone calls this an xlsx export, but its uploader only accepts csv. took a while to work out also its importer just silently imports nothing if the file is slightly off. no error, no warning, zero questions. three separate ways to trip that picking a subject barely did anything theres a dropdown on upload for what subject the worksheet is. it offers things like “Algebra 1” only the first bit of that was ever used, so picking Algebra 1 searched all of high school maths. exactly the same as picking “all of high school maths” the one control u have over how ur questions get sorted, doing basically nothing long papers were quietly losing questions to a limit the topic tagger takes questions 100 at a time. fine except it grabbed 100 in no particular order and then removed the ones already done, so on a 114 question paper 14 never got looked at, and which 14 was down to whatever the database felt like that day worse on a second pass: if 100 were already tagged it handed back an empty list, which reads as “nothing left to do”, and the rest never got tagged at all two screens counting the same paper differently the worksheets page filters out page junk like “CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PAGE” before counting. the dashboard didnt so the same worksheet was 25 questions on one screen and 26 on the other, and nothing tells u which one is lying the chart was lying about time the accuracy chart draws a bar per week. it was only making bars for weeks u actually did something in so 12 bars looked like 12 weeks in a row but werent. practise in march and again in june and u see two bars side by side like it was steady every week is a bar now, empty ones included, and it says which weeks its showing scrolling changed my settings without me touching anything the page range and question count boxes were number inputs, and number inputs treat the scroll wheel as a way to change the value so scrolling down the upload page with ur cursor over one of them silently rewrote which pages get read found a pile of other accessibility stuff while i was in there: buttons a bit too small to reliably hit on a phone, cards that vanish in high contrast mode, and a “skip to content” link that didnt actually skip anything also asking to see an explanation u already had was using up ur hourly limit for generating new ones the topic picker was built in a way that made screen readers think the list had nothing in it button labels were half Title Case and half sentence case, sometimes on the same screen
Devlog 7 - StudyBuddy the drag box was broken in the real app. for months u upload a worksheet, u draw a box around question 1, it fills in. thats the whole manual editor, thats the whole free tier. and it didnt work. click through the app to get there and nothing responds. reload and its fine. four previous commits went looking for this. the test had a 24 line comment explaining why it was probably a test problem. it was not. elementFromPoint(100, 28) -> HTML elementsFromPoint(100, 28) -> [HTML] thats the browser saying nothing is at this pixel , for every pixel on the page. the cause was 8 view transition animations, 6 stuck running forever . one that never finishes sits in the top layer and covers everything. and its a pseudo element so it shows up in no ancestor walk and no element stack, which is why every previous investigation contradicted itself. bisected on clean builds: next flag react component result on on broken off on broken on off clean off off clean so its react’s <ViewTransition> , not next. three lines of css. the drag test used to fake the mouse with dispatched events, now it uses a real one, which is the only thing that proves anything. gemini has never completed a single request 4 providers in settings. one says “has a free tier worth starting on”. zero successful calls, ever. every nullable field is anyOf: [{type:'x'}, {type:'null'}] gemini doesnt understand anyOf , so a filter strips keywords it rejects the filter dropped anyOf and left {} behind, while leaving the field in required a required field with no type = rejected request. every time funny part: the allowlist already had nullable in it, gemini’s own word for the same idea. someone knew. nothing connected them. the landing page was lying about 3 of its 4 topics theres a comment above them saying “kept honest on purpose: these are real taxonomy names” . Ratio & proportion - not real Linear equations - not real Reading inference - not real Vocabulary in context - real so the one claim the page made about its own honesty was the false one lol. theres a test now instead of a comment. tests found 2 bugs i wasnt looking for new Date("sometime in 2010") returns jan 1 2010, cuz v8 scrapes a year out of almost anything. and it parses as local midnight while everything next to it is UTC. on a 13th birthday thats the whole question one route answered 404 to someone with no session. the client sends u to sign in on a 401 and brings u back after, so a tab that sat open till the session expired just ate what u typed the rest a reload could cost u a 114 question paper. markup saves nothing till every question is marked, so its a local draft now / , /signin , /signup are static html now. the topbar called auth() from the root layout, which made all 39 routes render per request the 23mb embedding model was getting fetched inside a background task on every cold start, and failing silently one commit recorded 32 renames and none of the code . the git add failed and i’d redirected the error away so i never saw it
Devlog 8 - StudyBuddy im too lazy to have a full write up for this (watched spiderman tdy IT WAS REALLY GOOD) for each topic that a user gets wrong, a seperate model (gpt-oss:20b, sorry if i miswrote the model) gives a walkthrough of the topic also added missed questions to the csv export added a AI answer key system if the worksheet doesnt have one.
Devlog 9 - StudyBuddy the merge tool could double up a question number renumbering the survivor of a duplicate pair used Math.min of just those two rows, blind to the rest of the paper merging a phantom #5 into a real #9 could hand the paper a second #5, the exact thing the tool exists to prevent zero tests on a function that deletes rows. five now, including the repro $15/hour was losing its sign, not just $5 the math-stripper runs from one $ to the next, so “earns $15/hour and $18/hour” reads the slash as a fraction and eats both signs. same with $40 = $25 + $15 on the = i wrote this down once as “one weird case.” it’s the whole unit-rate and equation category fix checks the char after the closing $ : a digit means it’s opening the next price, not real math figure crops didnt need a new pipeline, just reusing one filed as “never produced,” which reads like crop, store, backfill the verify screen already computes a crop window from the bbox over the stored page image. review got wired to the same math, every old worksheet gets it free the real work was the guards: zero-area, inverted, off-page, or no recorded page size all have to degrade to nothing rather than to the wrong crop a fence i built to be un-escapable, wasnt the comment says a new tag can’t be added without going through the escaping. page-seam work added two by typing them directly a page whose OCR contains the literal closing tag closes the fence early, and everything after reads as instructions instead of data tag list exists once now, every fence built from it every worksheets.status write was a bare UPDATE no guard on the current value, so a stale job retry could drag an already-reviewed worksheet back to failed one transitionWorksheet(from, to) now, every write through it preview deploys were migrating the prod database guard only checked VERCEL_ENV === 'production' , but previews fire on every push against one shared DATABASE_URL two finishing together were racing through the migration folder 9 tests could go quiet and nobody would know one e2e file, 12 tests serial in a single tab, everything past “verify” depending on a question a drag gesture created three tests earlier a drag regression silently skipped 9 unrelated tests instead of failing them api fixture, split the file, broke the drag on purpose to prove it. held the question list rendered all 114 cards for a screen that edits one at a time deferred a while back: virtualizing editable rows risks one unmounting mid-edit only one card can ever be expanded, so the risk surface is exactly one row virtualizes past 40 now, open row pinned into the rendered range wherever scrolling goes. typed into one at 60 questions, scrolled thousands of px away, still there, still focused, still holding the edit also profile save had devlog 4’s router.refresh() remount bug login rate limit skipped Auth.js’s own credentials endpoint ollama worker had no startup timeout and just hung worksheet text leaked into console logs on schema rejections review screen shipped every page’s OCR text on page-1 load admin console got merge, tree edit, queue, usage doc-count drift (third time), and a false-positive LaTeX check flagging real set notation as broken math
Devlog 10 - StudyBuddy mostly the same bug wearing different clothes: a screen that exists, that u can get to, that quietly does less than it says tier C was sitting in settings doing nothing save an ollama address and the app resolves u to a browser executor. that executor had nowhere to go, so ur worksheet just sat there looking queued it claims the job now and reads each page against localhost:11434 , posting back through the same queue my gpu posts through has to run in the browser cuz a server cant reach ur localhost, so the tab stays open. checkpointed per page tho, closing it resumes instead of restarting the paper a mark u mis-tapped was permanent tap through 40 of these and ur going to hit the wrong one eventually that one tap feeds the FSRS schedule, the topic accuracy, the weakness ranking and the blooket export only way back was deleting the worksheet and uploading it again, which costs u a trial credit. so the fix for a mistap was paying for it two defences that were never on WORKER_ALLOWED_IPS was optional and empty meant no restriction empty is the state every deployment starts in, so the normal outcome was a defence thats off that nobody ever decided to turn off refused now. * still allows any address but somebody has to type it untagged worksheets looked identical to broken ones tier B cant auto-classify, the embedding model needs a native runtime the serverless host doesnt have so ur questions saved fine and were reviewable fine, they just had no topic and nothing said why. reads exactly like it silently failed every tier that can come back untagged says so now nothing told u when a worksheet finished u uploaded and then u guessed. sat on the status page or came back later and hoped in-app bell that needs zero setup, plus web push for a tab u closed also “Review these now” now reviews those questions. the word had drifted onto three screens meaning three different things dashboard was missing three of its panels, and the trend arrow was specified ages ago and never computed taxonomy had no front door and the subject panel only went one level deep. Math > Geometry > Triangles walks now pagination was capping at the fiftieth worksheet and saying nothing about it the AI setup prompt showed up after ur trial ran out, which is the one moment it cant help u grouped scripts/ by what it does to ur data. inspect/ reads, repair/ writes behind a guard, benchmark/ measures 1285 tests green. playwright hasnt run yet and app/ moved a lot this time, so thats next
Devlog 11 - StudyBuddy this is a short one got the google sign in to work added email verification and forgot ur password thing cleaned up the overall UI made the topic tree standardized cleaned up some of the extraction issues added ollama integration for everyone added practice question generation, topic overview, etc tested everything fully the attached image is the app after a ton of testing *
ANYONE RATING THIS PROJECT - THE VIDEO ON THE SHIP IS OUTDATED, THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER FEW DEVLOGS SO CHECK THAT OUT BEFORE JUDGING BECAUSE IT GIVES MORE INFO ABOUT THE BUILDING AND WHY THE CHANGED A LOT SORRYYYY ALSO USE THE SAMPLE WORKSHEETS I ATTACHED OR EASILY PARSEABLE WORKSHEETS. TEMPORAILY IVE CLOSED THE API KEY VERSION AS MOST PEOPLE DONT HAVE THEM. COMPLEX WORKSHEETS ARE TO BE USED ONLY WITH LARGE LLM Devlog 12 - StudyBuddy got everything ready to ship turns out that ollama needed some permissions so fixed that and added it to readme for people to set up, and other stuff like that shipping it in 5 mins 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
Devlog 13 - StudyBuddy update the ui to make it look liek sticky notes and lined paper
Devlog 14 shipwrights rejected the project so im fixing their things decided to clean up the code, get rid of old functions, and i also cleaned up the UI because no one really needs the heading and then what it means, like i think you know that topics means topics and doesnt need a whole sentence after that. cleaned up the repo, got rid of ai generated code fixed a 500 error when uploading worksheets, cuz something happened and some linux kernel wasnt compaitble with the library i was using wrapped up my last few fixes lowk not a lot of new features, rather like fixes
Devlog 15 more cleaninggggggg cleaned up repo, removed more dead logic and stuff instead of a css wallpaper, i added a image of lined paper to really give that school/learning feel asked ai to help me get the ui to look kinda fresh and add the pencil style heading
Devlog 16 - StudyBuddy added some sample worksheets so you can try it out added the borders back to the buttons because i accidently removed them before
Devlog 17 - StudyBuddy (ah im losing track of these devlogs uh my ship keeps getting rejected for look to AI, and ive literally rebuilt everything, removed all teh ai generated thing. (im gonna ship again rn) made a logo cuz i thought it would look cool added a Terms of Services page cuz its risky cuz people could upload worksheets they dont have access for an i could be fried so i made them agree to that cleaned up more code fixed a few more bugs
Devlog 18 - StudyBuddy lowk not a lot of content in this one but like 1000000 different bugs popped up and reviewers are pointing it out so thank you smmm ( @blowupthenoobs ur the goat) fixed the trials having no limit other fixes just check my commits
Devlog 19 - StudyBuddy even more bug fixes so i pushed a change, and that somehow broke the entire pipeline so i patched it no real content just fixes going to add API key integration soon (follow to see it happen)
Devlog 20 - StudyBuddy more bug fixes continous reships (they keep saying its too AI generated even after i rebuilt the UI) started working on the API key integration (like almost there rn) tons of dead code removal and code clean up added support for firefox too (now it works on edge, firefox, chrome, and prolly a ton others i just havent really tested it)
Devlog 21 - StudyBuddy patched even more bugs rewrote tons of my code (ai to human) cleaned up old files (a lot of old features were removed and reupdated) just more QoL fixes
Devlog 22 - StudyBuddy fixed more bugs and rewrote code by hand
Devlog 23 - StudyBuddy i just had some minutes left on this so im just making the devlog still waiting for my ship to be approved (been waiting a few days) no big changes at all (waiting for feedback)
Devlog 24: StudyBuddy so a lot of the feedback said “cool but it needs ur gpu on”. that made it seem like a PoC, so now its running on the free tier of openrouter. making the free tier work one request per question was never going to fit a daily cap. extraction now sends up to 10 pages / 25 questions per call, sorting and answer key go 10 questions at a time. ~4 requests per worksheet instead of ~42 the homepage and upload page count the day’s calls. 80% says busy, 100% stops reading and points u at the samples. samples upload page leads with the three samples as one-click cards; ur own pdf is the second option and says how much of the shared allowance is used. removed phone photo uploads (highly innaccurate on the free tier of models i have)

StudyBuddy Turn the worksheets you have already done into a record of what you actually know. Try it: https://trystudybuddy.vercel.app Code: https://github.com/DagaVedant/StudyBuddy What I made Upload a worksheet you already finished, as a PDF or photos. A vision model pulls out every question, its options and its answer key. You mark what you got wrong. That is the only input it needs. It sorts questions into 87 topics across SAT and competition maths. Then it ranks your weak areas and schedules revision using FSRS, the algorithm behind Anki. It also writes practice questions on your weak topics and exports misses to Blooket. Built on my own past papers: 387 real questions from 22 worksheets. What was challenging The models can run in four places: my GPU, your API key, your own Ollama, or not at all. A student with a GPU should never send homework to my server. A student with nothing should still get something. Topic tagging needs an embedding model that serverless hosting cannot run. So the shortlist is a pgvector query on the server and the vector is computed anywhere, including in your browser under WebAssembly. Worst bug was three characters: I stored the global fetch on a class field, which passes the object as the receiver. Node allows it, browsers throw Illegal invocation. Every test passed and the only runtime that mattered was broken. What I am proud of It does not lie to you. Weak topics are ranked by a Wilson lower bound, not a raw percentage, so two unlucky answers cannot fake a weakness. Model-written questions are kept out of your accuracy, so the ranking cannot feed the questions it generates. Every model response is schema-checked before it reaches the database. Generated practice is sifted against thirteen specific failure modes. When my GPU is off, the upload screen says so instead of spinning. 1,459 unit tests, 84 end to end, 293 commits. How to test it Sign in with Google, or an email and password. Upload any worksheet you have already done. A past paper works well. Check what it read. Each question sits beside the page image it came from. Mark what you missed, then open the dashboard. The free trial reads three worksheets on my own GPU. If it is off, your upload queues and the app tells you. To skip the wait, settings takes your own API key or connects to Ollama on your machine. guys i wish this was markdown compatible but its not so sorry
StudyBuddy - https://trystudybuddy.vercel.app fyi before u try it: reading runs on a free model with a shared daily cap, and ship day is way more traffic than a normal day. please use the sample worksheets wherever u can (they’re the first thing on the upload page, one click) and upload at most one of ur own pdfs for the next day or two. if the homepage says the free reads are used up, the samples still work. what it does upload a worksheet pdf. it reads every question off the page, tags each one by topic, and works out the answer key. u mark which ones u got wrong and it brings them back on an FSRS schedule (the algo anki uses). across every test u upload it turns “i got 12 wrong” into “ur bad at ratios”. what changed since last time runs on openrouter’s free tier instead of my gpu. not a proof of concept anymore one worksheet is ~4 requests instead of ~42. pages are read in groups the site says when the day’s free reads are running low. clear about the trial: 3 worksheets free, then still free, u just add questions by hand or plug in ur own key. what was hard free models reason before they answer and bill that against the output limit which ends up causing an error, but its really hard to figure out the embedding-only shortcut for sorting looked fine and was wrong a third of the time so fixed it...

Embedding Demo Website (Pages 1-3) I really like the way the embeddings turned out. That’s why I want to make a website to make word embeddings as accessible and understandable as possible.

Finish Demo Website (Pages 4-8) I completed the last part of the demo website including the most exciting part about the word arithmetic.

Hello guys! As its my first devlog I want to mention I am currently working on multiple projects one of them being the trigonometric calculator which calculates either the sine cosine tangent and cotangent of a given angle in degrees. The project is still in the console version, but I’m developing another graphical version which will be made using raylib!

I made a trigonometric calculator which includes easter eggs, which I am proud of. I can say the challenging part was not the actual code, but how to upload it to GitHub since I am somewhat new to this platform...

Basic setup Not much to show here, just setting up the repo and everything for GMTK on Wednesday! Figured I might as well log the hours.
GHOUL GAME Honestly, I don’t have a lot because art assets are still underway and we’ve been working slowly BUT I have a sick ass dithering and occlusion effects. Anyways ima go to bed i’ll have more upds later
more work, will post more tommorow once the game is done but here’s some furniture:
THE GAME IS (almost) DONE I did a lot, but since I want to get all my hours I’m going to make a quick devlog here. Static effect, enemies, level generation, tons of level design, balancing, inputs, and more! Very fun time, will post the link to the game in my next devlog :)
The game is done (fr) Ok, so when I submitted this to GMTK, I built it wrong, so I ended up placing poorly (obviously due to lack of having a runnable executable), but I’m really happy with the game! That was about a week ago by the way, I went on a vacation almost immediately after the jam ended and now I’m back and wrapping things up. Anyways, I’ll open-source the github, commit the final changes, and yeah, that’ll be it! Have fun playing CHRONOTAMEION (jam version, might make a new game based off it!)
Ships:
This is a top-down doors inspired (yes i know) game where you need to get past 25 rooms before the clock ticks all the way down. In all honesty, I think the code for this game is pretty bad. This was the first time I seriously spent time working with someone else on a project and the first time I did a jam in a while, so there are a lot of issues. In the end though, I’m really proud of what we made, and I think it was a pretty cool project for the 4 days we worked on it! I know there isn’t a web build, but please do take the time to download the game and run the executable! It means a lot, and the games framework we’re using (raylib-cs) doesn’t allow for for web export yet, so it means a lot! Thank you for looking at the project <3...

bunny level editor! created a full level editor. You can now navigate to the level editor (top left button) and create a level! Control the board size, bunny locations, and every tile in the board. Export and import levels to save them. You can also see whether your puzzle is solvable or not, and how many moves it takes.

Ships:
I made a web-based daily puzzle game inspired by enclose.horse, centered around reuniting two bunny lovers, whose hearts are tethered together! It was incredibly difficult creating my own tile rendering system, and I had to makeshift an auto-tile/rule-tile system for the editor, and to make creating levels easy. I also had to figure out how to animate the tiles, which is harder than it seems. Creating the editor was the hardest part; without a game engines help, I had to create a lot manually. I am definitely proud of what I made though, and now all I have to do is get more levels to put in! Make sure to check out the editor and tutorial while you test :) they’re the best parts....

You can help me with this, by making an Issue request on Helyx’s GitHub. So what bugs did I fix since the last devlog? I fixed line breaking in badge/status README editor. When you were inserting your badge/status into your README via Helyx’s README editor, it done… messy stuff to the README, not something like really bad what couldn’t be fixed by manually doing it, but it should now insert the badge/status exactly as you see it in the editor. I also introduced a new ‘Found state’ text instead of ‘Found’ text in IDE settings to avoid confusion. To avoid confusion because if an editor was found and you clicked on it… it wrote this: Found Found Found Not Found Found Set by user Now it writes this: Found state Found Found state Not Found Found state Set by user Most of the time, I was reviewing the codebase via Claude Code to actually check everything precisely."}, {"post_id": 56815, "ts": "2026-08-28T18:55:16Z", "hours": 1.7133, "text": "Replaced hardcoded string colors with Color members for code safety, fixed line breaking while assigning a status/badge Okay so Markup texts (those are the texts with color) were formatted in this format: \"[red]Hello World![/]\" So it was string-based.

So if someone tried to edit it, they would only have to edit the string and they might have misspelled it. But now, when he goes into the codebase, he will see Color members and he just can’t misspell that, and if he would, compiler would alert him. Basically, now it is like this: $\"[{Color.Red}]Hello World![/]\" Okay so next I fixed line breaking. What does that mean? Well… In Helyx native README editor, so when you try to assign a status/badge, you’ll get that editor, when you try to add a status/badge to that line, you might have thought that it would be on the same line as the tags above it.

I was also setting up the GitHub side of things, so the description, the tags, a GitHub Action and so on. With the help of Claude Code, we created the logo and the banner for the installer as well. The installer uses the same logo as Helyx. It’s just a basic H, because nothing else came to mind haha. I also asked Claude Code to review the codebase one last time, and yep, it looks fine! I told it to add the basic documentation comments as well, the <summary> kind.

You can even run an action! I also added a refresh keybind to Manage Issues, Manage PRs and GitHub Actions. Before, you had to go back from the details of an issue/PR/action to the list and then return to the details. Now you don’t have to. You just have to press the keybind displayed in the footer that belongs to refresh. Yes! The Helyx Language System is finally complete! Italian & Portuguese are now available in Helyx!

People… you won’t believe what happened to me today… I use Helyx’s Git & GitHub for testing, so there is no official one yet, and I rarely commit changes or push them. Only when I test something. And it looks like it got back at me. Well… I told Claude Code to remove comments all over my codebase, because they were mainly scrapped code and some temporary information that I had there, that wasn’t used anymore. Okay, so I told it to remove them, and for some reason instead of removing comments, it deleted Helyx’s whole codebase. Thank god README.md was untouched haha. We had to decompile the .dll that was left over from testing Helyx’s latest version, and actually check the diff and rewrite it. We still don’t know if everything was brought back since for some reason Claude Code’s memory got wiped instantly when it realized that it deleted my whole codebase. There were no backups, no restore, no nothing. The only possible thing was to use the forgotten stash that I created and use the .dll as a map to restore Helyx’s outdated codebase and rewrite it again. So that’s what we did. Yeah, so I hope everything was brought back. Claude says it was, but after what it has done I don’t know if I trust it. Just kidding, everything should be back, because it compared the .dll with the rewritten code 1:1 and everything matched."}, {"post_id": 51403, "ts": "2026-08-21T02:37:22Z", "hours": 10.1656, "text": "More bugs fixed, new functions, README & Language System updates!

Another fixed bug is that when you opened an issue in Helyx, the footer vanished. At first I was shocked, but it was a simple fix so now your footer doesn’t vanish. Another vanishing bug! The Languages row from the header vanished when you entered a tab where Layout class was being used. Now you will see your sweet programming languages used in your selected project. Guess what! Another vanishing bug! This time the whole header vanished when you exited .Live()! Now it is okay! New behaviour: I unified some color codes with some type of info. E.g. SHA is Dark Orange everywhere, Stash is Yellow, Date is Cadet Blue and Issue Number is Aqua. The README.md editor, when inserting badges/status now has a new keybind: backspace! It is different from DEL! DEL deletes the badges/status but backspace deletes the whole line, including the badge/status that was on that line. README The README is almost done! At least I hope!

I had to run MANY code review tools for this, because every time it kept finding new bugs. No idea how but it did. So what we fixed? If a GitHub comment had bold text split across two lines, opening that issue crashed Helyx before it drew anything. A file with a square bracket in its name (e.g. data[1].json) crashed Status, Diff, Commit, Stashes and Log. If anything held config.json open for even a moment, Helyx assumed it was corrupt, reset it, then crashed everywhere that looked for a project. If config.json was missing its Badges section, the startup migration quietly deleted every badge from every project. Committing saved a copy of the project taken before the confirmation prompts, so anything changed in between was silently thrown away. If you linked a GitHub repo during Push, the remote was created with an empty name. Syncing a status that had since been deleted crashed in the middle of a push. A commit message containing a square bracket crashed “View Full Message” (those are just bugs that were missing Markup.Escape() function). Applying a stash said “applied successfully” even when it conflicted. One bad path stored in config.json crashed “Add Project”. This is just a snippet of the amount of fixed bugs. I won’t write all of them here since it would take a lot of text and I am pretty sure that this is enough for you to understand that we fixed a lot of bugs haha.

And also you can see Git information such as: Branch Number of commits First commit (date) Last commit Working tree .git size So it displays some maybe important and basic information that you may check sometimes or might be interested in. There were like 6 revisions of this because I was testing different styles & designs. I also found a lot of hidden bugs with help of Claude! Before talking about bugs, I will tell you something about new features that I added. Now, when you assign a badge or change a status and you don’t have markers in README.md yet in it, then it will ask you if you want to add them manually or via Helyx. What does that mean? Well, it opens a “text editor” in Helyx which displays README.md and you can insert the badges/statuses where you want instead of opening the file in notepad and inserting the markers manually. Overall it is way quicker to do it now via Helyx. Helyx’s Generic Text Editor is now even better! You can now use all of the arrows, before you could just use Left/Right Arrow to move cursor left or right. Now you can move between lines. Now you can also open your project’s wiki via Helyx. Be aware that it doesn’t check anything, if you have wiki or not. It directly opens the website for the wiki where it should have been for the current linked GitHub Repository. Let’s talk about bugs now! Open an issue called the Markdown handler function and it was accidentally calling GitHub 101 times, when it needed some info. Now it doesn’t. 🆒 Notes have an encryption system, so if you put some sensitive info into it, it couldn’t be directly taken from the file. Only via Helyx. There was a bug, where when you enabled encryption and edit notes of 2 projects, then you turn off encryption globally and open the first project’s notes, it decrypts… but after that you open second project’s notes, it won’t. This was due to having a global bool instead of per project bool when saving if it was encrypted. Fixeddd! Another bug! Sync Status & Sync Badges was deleting staging index. Funny that I was thinking about to restore the staging index whenever using it, but at the end… the logic was wrong 😭 Now it isn’t. Then there was a bug that when you unassigned a badge, it unassigned ALL badges. Fixed! Another bug linked to badges… Unassigning a badge didn’t remove it from GitHub.

At the end, I ended up with a rendering logic that I am not really keen on, but it is the best one that can be used in Helyx and TUI environment.

I wanted to cut the part which couldn’t be rendered and it should have looked like, like an unfinished Panel. Well, this was impossible.

GitHub Actions is meant to contain all of the actions that are mainly linked with GitHub endpoints. I kept few such as Push, Pull, Sync in Git Actions due to how the layout is already created.

Another new function is, that when there’s an update for Helyx and I change the GitHub OAuth scope because of new features… Helyx will warn you and tell you to reauthorize to make sure every function will work correctly. Before this change, Helyx was using its folder name as a name of the project and as a repository name for GitHub. Now, when you add a project to Helyx, Helyx will ask you what’s its name and when you will try to use some GitHub function for the first time on your newly added project on Helyx, it will request a GitHub Repository name from you. ;) There’s still a lot of things to add.

For that reason I added more fail-safes to make sure that this will be eliminated. I can’t confirm yet if those fail-safes work, because I am also working on a new Diagnostics action in Git Actions so if something goes wrong, you can fix it by the error Helyx gives you. Right now my testing project is in a state of “Git corrupted” (no idea what I should call it) where rebase was aborted. Because of this, I had to put the “GitHub Sync Topics” synchronization off until later, so I can focus on fixing these major bugs. Also another bug came to my mind that I fixed… Helyx works on a principle of directory paths. Each project is saved in config file under its own unique GUID and its path. The bug is that when you try to rename the directory, the project won’t be found and it will be removed from Helyx.

It took me a while to create one that Claude agrees with and is good for such open-source projects. Anyways, this was the easy part. In my last devlog I said that I completed Custom Statuses & Custom Badges. Well… I did! But then I found out, that my system was bad… and when I say bad I mean it wasn’t thought out. I found out about all of this when I finished the edit action for both. Originally I used Dictionary<string, TagDefinition>. Key was name of the Status/Badge and TagDefinition was the class of one of them which also has name property. But Helyx was not prepared for this, so for the last days I redid the whole system eight times. Once I used Dictionary, once I used List, then HashSet, then Dictionary, then Dictionary with other types and so on. I just couldn’t settle on the correct type for it. Until now, it took so long even though it is so primitive because it simply didn’t come to my mind and when I was asking Claude for suggestions of how could it be made, it didn’t think of using this type. The final type is simply… Dictionary<Guid, TagDefinition> AND A LOT OF CHANGES. Yeah… don’t worry guys! I am totally devastated by doing this over and over even though it was so simple & primitive to do. Well… maybe not really primitive because the changes were also difficult to do. I mainly didn’t want to use the GUID system because I have Custom Statuses but also Built-in Statuses and I was really worried about Built-in statuses having GUID assigned to them.

Today I added: Custom Statuses Custom Badges WIP: Sync badges with GitHub repository Sync topics with GitHub repository My original status system for projects was a hardcoded enum with statuses “Active”, “Inactive”, “Paused” and “Archived”. Then I had a lot of switches which determined color of markup based on which enum it is hah. As you may already know, enums cannot be changed in runtime :) What does that mean? That users cannot add their own statuses in Helyx directly… They would have to hardcode into Helyx their own statuses and that’s just impractical, no? That’s why I spent below mentioned amount of hours redoing so many things to make it actually work and I even learned something from this! That JSON Parsers and Colors are NOT huge friends! (genuinely, I HAD NO IDEA why it wasn’t working until AI told me that JSON parsers cannot translate Color structs). Custom Statuses/Badges currently have Add/Delete functions and right now I am going to add also Edit function, so when you accidentally create a status/badge with wrong color, you don’t have to delete it and create it again :) (just saved 10seconds of your life). I also recategorized my whole codebase with help of Claude Code. I told him to review my whole codebase and suggest what classes, enums, interfaces should be in which files and those files in which folders. It was fun, finally something where I did not have to concentrate much and chill and watch something when doing it. Well, now it is not much fun when functions that I was using are in different files and some classes have different names. But at least my codebase looks more professional! (before this I had like 10 files with a bunch of lines where classes were stacked…) Also, about the WIP stuff above… Sync badges with GitHub repository is going to be something like the Sync status with GitHub repository. It will just pop up in your README.md based on where you put the headers which Helyx will give you for that specific badge. Sync topics on the other hand are classic topics of the repository which you can see in top right corner of your repository page. It will mostly show you which topics are assigned to your repository in Helyx but I’ll make it also so you can assign/unassign topics from your repository.

Undo Commit is a special one, when you commit something and for some reason you want to go back you just undo it.

The beginning… So I have finally begun to work on this! I was thinking a lot what to create for Stardance and it looks like this might be something I want to create! Originally I wanted to create this in Python but then I really quickly found out that my Python skills wouldn’t be enough to create something like this and I didn’t want this to be a vibe-coding project… SO HERE WE ARE… using C#! So far so good, I guess… Currently I am working on the configuration handler which will have functions for implementing and retrieving info from the configuration file. After that, I am planning to make the interface somewhat versatile, so it is possible to adjust it for yourself or add some new options and such.
Lots of new ideas, lots of scrapped ideas Lately I’ve been working on a way to search for projects automatically but I had to scrap the idea because I didn’t like it at the end… so now I am making it so you can add your own projects and some IDE integrations. I was also trying multiple libraries for TUI interface integration and GUI support with other libraries and input devices. These hours were full of scrapping & making new ideas, but that’s what programming is about!
Project handler, done for now I was thinking of adding a translation system for Helyx. I was experimenting with a lot of systems how to do it… well, I might keep this for the end of Helyx so at the end I translate all of the strings. I added the “Add Project” system and some basic detection systems for it such as… Project Name Path Languages (used programming language in project) Used IDE for the project then it will ask you if you really, but REALLY want to add the project and if you proceed it will be added to your Projects menu. After that you can open your Project and see such basic info as… Status Last modified Languages Used IDE Is a GIT Repo I am thinking about adding more, removing some and making it overall more versatile because versatile applications are just the best ones. For now, I created some basic functions for your Projects such as… Open in VS Code Git Status Remove Project (from Helyx) but these are the ones already working, but I am still trying to make them more versatile :p … but there’s more functions that I am currently working on, that I hope won’t be scrapped and I will mention them in next devlog!
Helyx, the IDE detective I’ve been working on the IDE detection system. This took me a long time because I was testing many different ways of how to detect it and then sort them from most probable to least. At the end I have selected the one that uses points based on what the Project includes in its path… so files, extensions and directories. I was experimenting with the Language system that I will make in the future. I just want to be sure what I am doing so later, I won’t be in panic what now and what was my original plan. I have also refactored the code to some point but it is still not great after all of these things I have done above … so still need to do this.

With this, you can do all of this just by one click… Well, that’s at least my imagination and I am not sure if it will get to such point where you can do such tasks but we’ll see Wish me luck!
Huge updates!! Since it is my first time working with Spectre.Console library, I was trying a lot of stuff with it. When I was somewhat happy with what I learned, I cleaned up the code due to the amount of useless lines and duplicated/not used variables . 1, Updated UI/UX I have updated the UI/UX so it looks more modern-ish. This new UI/UX design is for now only on the main pages of Helyx… but I plan to add it to every page very soon! 2, More actions! (even more will be available in the future) I have added more Git Actions that are still in WIP. I also created templates in code of what actions I’d want to add later. I’ll tell you more about them when they will be finished (SOON). 3, More stuff in Settings! I have added more settings into Settings :D Now you can select Default IDE, see if your IDE was found in your system, if not you can manually select the .exe of it. You can also manage the configuration file, well, reset it. 4, Projects sorting Projects are now sorted based on its status. 5, You can manage the projects for Helyx You can now delete the projects and change the status. 6, Future bugs & lots of if statements My code was completely unsafe up to this point, so I had to add many of try/catch and if statements to make it safe. I was experimenting with Spectre.Console, because I have never worked with it. I made some cool stuff that I will add in the future to Helyx! I understand it now better! All of this was quite difficult for me to do, since as I said, on such project where I am using C# with its basic types… I was mostly a Unity C# Developer, where Unity had its own classes and functions and callers that were standard.
Git Actions family is getting bigger! We’ve made a lot of progress! More of the Git Actions are done such as… Status Stage Commit Diff Create Branch Switch Branch Delete Branch Right now I am working on another: Pull Push Sync Stashes I hope they will be done soon! Stay updated!
Git Actions family is getting EVEN bigger! I have finally finished a lot of major stuff and also tried to make some additional things that MAY be added in the future. I finally added Stashes, Pull, Push and Sync to the Git Actions, so now they work! Also, all of Git functions have some automatic repair, so if you do something you shouldn’t, it should be alright… but it is not 100% so don’t try your luck! I still have to finish and a bunch of stuff with it so you can do whatever you want with it without editing the code itself! I was thinking of adding some label for your GitHub repository which you can control via Helyx. Like status… yeah… let’s add a badge that will act as a status info of your project!
Local & Remote Repository status I just finished making the status manager, so now you can change your status locally… but also remotely! Remotely means on GitHub, not like via some controller. Because of this, I created a tab called GitHub Synchronization, where you can enable/disable settings that are linked with GitHub and retrieve/push from/to GitHub. Now, I am planning to work on Backup system and User Scripts.
Cleanup time! I have completely revamped my code… I removed a lot of unused code that was either used for experimenting or was scrapped and I forgot to remove it. Before removing some of the code, I actually tried something with it… but then I realized that they were commented for some reason. I refactored parts of my code to look overall simpler with lambda expressions and LINQ. Not sure if it is more readable now, but it works so it’s fine. If anything, I’ll just add a comment so I know what it does instead of looking at it and brainstorming what it could be. I decided to mainly work on the Backup system because I think that User Scripts will be more complicated to make.
Losing sanity is not fun I honestly think I’ll go insane soon. I have changed the whole system of how Helyx saves Projects to its config file and how every function… EVERY FUNCTION works with it. I just have to say that I’ll try my best to make the code better than the one I am currently editing because 18h spent on redoing the whole codebase (revamping included from devlog before) is 1. crazy and 2. even more crazy. It’s wild how a tiny thing can ruin your whole codebase, I hope I will finish it quickly, because I want to continue working on the Backup system and after that on the User Scripts.
Backup system, done!! I finished the Backup system and also had to fix some major issues I had in helper functions due to the “project looking up system” migration… yeah… awkward name, I know. Now that the Backup system is done, let me continue and begin to work on User Scripts. Just realized that I have to come up with how it will work…
Making User Scripts I am currently working on the User Scripts as I have mentioned in older devlogs. I must say that this is one of my first interactions with interfaces in C# because there was not a huge reason to use it in my code… until now. I must say that User Scripts is the most difficult thing in all Helyx to make because you have to think on everything… how this will work, how shall we display it, how to make it versatile so other actions work with it too, etc… I made the system for adding Blocks (Actions = Blocks) to Scripts and right now I am implementing dialogs to insert properties for each action, such as Duration for Wait Action. These are current actions that are in Helyx (you can suggest new ones in comments) : Wait Wait Until If Loop (should be something like while(), might change the idea of it) End (ends script, so like return/break) Set Variable Get Variable Compare Random Log (logs text) Execute (executes command) Open (opens directory) Create File Create Folder Delete File Delete Folder Right after that I would want to move to make the UI look overall better and function better. Welp, we will see in my next devlog the progress I will make.
Changing my mind over User Scripts So I have finished all of these User Scripts functions and I found out something interesting, that made me remove some of them after I finished them. In the devlog before, I wrote a list of actions that are in Helyx such as… Wait Until, If, Loop, Set/Get Variable, etc… . Well, I found out that making some that I have mentioned would be useless, because I imagined User Scripts mainly as an automatic actions for testing your project, but how could your program get script’s variable from Helyx or set/change it. The same applies for If, If would be also complex to set. With each If Action there would be x^2 (if my calculations are correct) more node pathways and without making some really good UX in TUI environment, it would be difficult to find your way around.
User Scripts done? What next?? As written above, I have finished User Scripts. Yeah, they don’t have that many functions as before, but I am going to add some, that will actually be useful and will stay in Helyx. Right after that I’d want to move to add more things to GitHub Synchronization settings that are per project. This is mainly to make the Helyx project dashboard look better with more interesting info about your current repository. Be aware that you have to be authorized in Helyx via GitHub to access those settings. This may sound funny, but I was thinking about adding Add-on manager to Helyx. No idea how I would make it yet or what packages would even Helyx have, but I hope that after some brainstorming I will have an answer. Before that, I will again think for a while if it is a good idea and if it is even needed. But surely it sounds cool to me, to someone who has never made an add-on manager for his program. At the end I want to transfer my view to hardening the code. Many checkings, many dialog boxes what’s wrong, and such things, so your Helyx window just doesn’t close after you mess up with configuration file or you do something that no one would ever do in his lifetime. ;)
Added new setting, finished overwrite languages and still working on show stats I have finished the overwrite languages function which uses GitHub’s programming languages detection system over Helyx’s one. I added a setting where you can choose your identity (Git -> local, GitHub -> remote). Local is based on Git’s settings and remote one is accessible after authorization with GitHub. I am currently working on retrieving and displaying the GitHub repository statistics. I am using charts to display it nicely and simply. Currently it is showing only Stars, Watchers, Forks and chart of used languages. I also added a few informative labels that tell you that something is actually happening and the program did not freeze. If I didn’t add this you would be looking at an empty black screen. One of the last things I added is active GitHub Authorization Token checker and resolver. Before this if you revoked your OAuth with Helyx on GitHub page, Helyx would think that it is still authorized to your GitHub account, now it checks it and if you revoke it online, Helyx will disable functions that are only accessible when you are authorized via GitHub.
Slowly, but surely We are almost at the end (if no other function to add will come to my mind) and I was messing with access modifiers, accessors, refactoring names of variables, Tasks, voids, properties. I was adding exception handling keywords and many ifs to make sure there will be no bugs and that almost every exception will be caught. I was doing this manually so I might have missed some places where the exception handler is needed but yeah we shall see! I also enabled a search bar, so when you will be looking for your project in Helyx and you have many projects added, you can search for yours! I was also changing styles of my old menus and theirs logic because they weren’t done very well in comparison with style that I am using now… Funny story: while I was messing with the access modifiers and accessors I actually bricked the whole Helyx, because functions that were supposed to resolve configuration file and read/write into it couldn’t. I thought I accidentally removed something important but at the end it was just that, that I was changing the access modifiers and accessors.
Settings and Git pages are receiving more stuff! I added for Settings page: Notes Settings Updates and for Git page: Undo Commit Redo Commit as the name says, Notes Settings are for changing properties of global Notes on every project. There is only one setting that came to my mind and that is encryption. Some of you might paste into it something personal or confidential. Well, this makes sure that these info CANNOT be taken from raw file, but from Helyx directly. (thinking about adding password mechanism lol) Updates, yeah, it looks for updates for Helyx . Undo Commit is a special one, when you commit something and for some reason you want to go back you just undo it. On the other hand, if you somehow accidentaly clicked on Undo Commit or now you want to redo the undo, you can with Redo Commit. My plan now is to add again more functions, such as Custom Badges, option to sync the Custom Badges with your GitHub repo (it will pop up in README.md) and also add Tags sync, so you can edit your repository’s Tags via Helyx. Oh yeah, also going to add custom project status because some people may say that having statuses such as “Active”, “Inactive”, “Paused”, “Archived” is limiting (custom ones will yes, also be synced with GitHub). :) I also mustn’t forget to add the translations for other languages. I am going to do this at the end due to new text appearing every time I add something new.
Adding Custom Statuses, Custom Badges and even more! Here we are again! Today I added: Custom Statuses Custom Badges WIP: Sync badges with GitHub repository Sync topics with GitHub repository My original status system for projects was a hardcoded enum with statuses “Active”, “Inactive”, “Paused” and “Archived”. Then I had a lot of switches which determined color of markup based on which enum it is hah. As you may already know, enums cannot be changed in runtime :) What does that mean? That users cannot add their own statuses in Helyx directly… They would have to hardcode into Helyx their own statuses and that’s just impractical, no? That’s why I spent below mentioned amount of hours redoing so many things to make it actually work and I even learned something from this! That JSON Parsers and Colors are NOT huge friends! (genuinely, I HAD NO IDEA why it wasn’t working until AI told me that JSON parsers cannot translate Color structs). Custom Statuses/Badges currently have Add/Delete functions and right now I am going to add also Edit function, so when you accidentally create a status/badge with wrong color, you don’t have to delete it and create it again :) (just saved 10seconds of your life). I also recategorized my whole codebase with help of Claude Code. I told him to review my whole codebase and suggest what classes, enums, interfaces should be in which files and those files in which folders. It was fun, finally something where I did not have to concentrate much and chill and watch something when doing it. Well, now it is not much fun when functions that I was using are in different files and some classes have different names. But at least my codebase looks more professional! (before this I had like 10 files with a bunch of lines where classes were stacked…) Also, about the WIP stuff above… Sync badges with GitHub repository is going to be something like the Sync status with GitHub repository. It will just pop up in your README.md based on where you put the headers which Helyx will give you for that specific badge. Sync topics on the other hand are classic topics of the repository which you can see in top right corner of your repository page. It will mostly show you which topics are assigned to your repository in Helyx but I’ll make it also so you can assign/unassign topics from your repository. I’m thinking of adding more GitHub Synchronization options, but none are currently coming to my mind. Maybe something with actions, no idea yet, or local AI that will explain to you errors given by Helyx when you will be trying to do something. We will see!
Never expected it to be this hard So the last days I was again changing the structure of my solution and trying to get on with it. It took me a while to create one that Claude agrees with and is good for such open-source projects. Anyways, this was the easy part. In my last devlog I said that I completed Custom Statuses & Custom Badges. Well… I did! But then I found out, that my system was bad… and when I say bad I mean it wasn’t thought out. I found out about all of this when I finished the edit action for both. Originally I used Dictionary<string, TagDefinition>. Key was name of the Status/Badge and TagDefinition was the class of one of them which also has name property. But Helyx was not prepared for this, so for the last days I redid the whole system eight times. Once I used Dictionary, once I used List, then HashSet, then Dictionary, then Dictionary with other types and so on. I just couldn’t settle on the correct type for it. Until now, it took so long even though it is so primitive because it simply didn’t come to my mind and when I was asking Claude for suggestions of how could it be made, it didn’t think of using this type. The final type is simply… Dictionary<Guid, TagDefinition> AND A LOT OF CHANGES. Yeah… don’t worry guys! I am totally devastated by doing this over and over even though it was so simple & primitive to do. Well… maybe not really primitive because the changes were also difficult to do. I mainly didn’t want to use the GUID system because I have Custom Statuses but also Built-in Statuses and I was really worried about Built-in statuses having GUID assigned to them. Those sync options with GitHub are still in work, but I finished the GitHub Repository Stats viewer after a lot of experimenting with layouts and designs/effects/colors. I’m looking forward to the next devlog guys! I hope Helyx will be your good coworker that will actually count for something hah! P.S.: I also made that text of colors is grammatically formatted. At least it should be…
Sync finally done!! It’s 5 AM and I finished “Sync badges with GitHub Repository” and “Sync the status with GitHub repository” (this was already done, but with the enum version of status). I added also a few fail-safes so when you assign some badge or status and then delete it, it will also delete it from GitHub and project. Now it won’t be a ghost that you cannot get rid of haha. This was a little more difficult than I expected to do, the fail-safes because the local changing mechanism and syncing mechanism were written inline in the same function. The only thing that was dividing them was an if statement. It was interesting to make this. To make sure everything will work fine. Even though it didn’t MANY TIMES. Now I will focus on syncing GitHub topics. Wish me luck! P.S.: Forgot to mention, that I have to add this “On Status/Badge Edit, ASAP sync with GitHub” with Edit. I almost forgot lol, just came into my mind. I hope that COPY+PASTE will be enough and I won’t have to create another syncing system specifically for edits…
More bugs are appearing, and being fixed!! So since Helyx is already far and has many advanced functions, it also has some bugs. Today when I was experimenting with assigning a project and syncing it with GitHub, I found out, that if you try to sync the projects in a wrong way… it will not work. For that reason I added more fail-safes to make sure that this will be eliminated. I can’t confirm yet if those fail-safes work, because I am also working on a new Diagnostics action in Git Actions so if something goes wrong, you can fix it by the error Helyx gives you. Right now my testing project is in a state of “Git corrupted” (no idea what I should call it) where rebase was aborted. Because of this, I had to put the “GitHub Sync Topics” synchronization off until later, so I can focus on fixing these major bugs. Also another bug came to my mind that I fixed… Helyx works on a principle of directory paths. Each project is saved in config file under its own unique GUID and its path. The bug is that when you try to rename the directory, the project won’t be found and it will be removed from Helyx. Now, you can either let Helyx find it automatically (sadly can easily fail) or you can select project manually in explorer (recommended!!!).
Doctor Git As you may know, right now I am working on Diagnostics. I am almost done with fully displaying all of the health checks about your Git repository. But I still have to finish all of the fixing actions that it will have. Diagnostics will mainly be for a case where something happens in Helyx and it will need to be fixed. The main idea of it is not aimed at resolving issues with your Git repository outside Helyx. But it may resolve some because you may run into the same issue as you had in Helyx of course. In the last devlog I said that I put GitHub Topics off. Well, that did not happen! I finished displaying GitHub Topics!! I think in some devlogs I said that it was for managing GitHub Topics. Managing meant like adding, removing, editing. Well, that wasn’t actually my main point. I just wanted it to show you your currently assigned topics in GitHub. I also didn’t see a big reason in adding Add, Remove, Edit functions for topics. Topics rarely changed, honestly and the most intuitive way would be doing it via GitHub web interface.
Diagnostics done, other stuff too and some changes! Diagnostics are now fully done! When something messes up, it will give you options to fix it! Some time ago I created GitHub Synchronization settings for managing what to sync with GitHub, so what to retrieve and send with those options: Sync status with GitHub repository Sync badges with GitHub repository Fetch GitHub repository topics Fetch GitHub repository stats Use GitHub’s language detection instead of Helyx’s I created a brand new tab called ‘GitHub Actions’ where this setting is. GitHub Actions is meant to contain all of the actions that are mainly linked with GitHub endpoints. I kept few such as Push, Pull, Sync in Git Actions due to how the layout is already created. Also I added when you are rebasing and it fails, it automatically gives you a prompt to cancel it. So repair it… GitHub Actions will contain a new stuff that will come to Helyx! Managing Issues and Pull Requests!! Maybe also workspaces/actions but I will see how difficult that is and how it is needed/useful in Helyx. Another new function is, that when there’s an update for Helyx and I change the GitHub OAuth scope because of new features… Helyx will warn you and tell you to reauthorize to make sure every function will work correctly. Before this change, Helyx was using its folder name as a name of the project and as a repository name for GitHub. Now, when you add a project to Helyx, Helyx will ask you what’s its name and when you will try to use some GitHub function for the first time on your newly added project on Helyx, it will request a GitHub Repository name from you. ;) There’s still a lot of things to add. Honestly I thought that Helyx was at the very end like 50 hours ago and look! There are many more functions to add haha!
Manage Issues, at your service. After a painful development period I am again here, writing devlog! What changed? Good question! Manage Issues is partly done! I still have to finish making the actual actions but displaying is somewhat finished. When you go to ‘Manage Issues’, you will firstly see a list of issues that are on your GitHub repository. From there you can already see some details about the issues such as: Number State Title Labels Comments (number) Updated (time) Above them are filters, currently those are the available filters: All -> All Commented -> Issues has some comments Assigned -> Issues that have some assignees Labels -> Issues that have some labels But that is not all! There are also their counterparts: No comments Unassigned Unlabeled (there’s no inversion of All because why would you need filter None) Yeah, so you can invert your filters… When you select an issue at the very top you will see its number, then you will have a panel with details about the issue with its title and: State Author Opened (time) Labels Assignees Right under these details are all of the comments in chronological order. When it is done, it will also show the whole timeline of each issue. So when this and this label was added/removed… when was this assignee assigned/unassigned… when was this issue closed/opened…. Of course I am going to add actions so you can add a comment, close issue, open issue, etc… When I’ll finish Manage Issues, I will go to work on Manage Pull Requests. It shouldn’t be that different because Pull Requests are by GitHub a kind of Issue but they are also not the same, so different classes, types, etc… Well, wish me luck people… or should I say… Stardancers?? P.S.: Sorry for the grammar in images in comments. I did it very quick for the preview.
Paging done, functions almost! I finished making the logic for rendering issues. In the last devlog it was just displaying all of the issues at the same time. No paging system so if there was a lot of issues or long issues, they would simply… not appear. It took me a really long time to work this out. I was mainly switching back and forth the rendering logic all the time and it went so far, that I had to use Claude to help me with it. At the end, I ended up with a rendering logic that I am not really keen on, but it is the best one that can be used in Helyx and TUI environment. Main obstacles were the Spectre.Console rendering functions and classes that were under IRenderable interface. And also the limitations of Panels, Grids… Layout had everything I needed . I wanted to cut the part which couldn’t be rendered and it should have looked like, like an unfinished Panel. Well, this was impossible. Without changing the core code of Spectre.Console or creating own system for making Panels it was impossible. Also, I haven’t seen it as something that WOULD NEED an own system that would render comments. So I just made it when a comment cuts, it creates whole Panel with part of the comment that can be rendered and at the bottom is text saying that it continues on the next page… and on the other page at the top there’s text that, hey, it continues here! Let’s finally talk about the Issue functions! I finished some simple one like: Close Reopen and create an issue… But I still have to create a system that can let you: Comment Edit comments Delete comments Lock issue Unlock issue Those are currently in WIP, but in the next devlog they’ll be most probably finished and after everything is done with issues, I will move to Pull Requests!
Manage Issues, completed! PRs, incoming… Manage Issues is now fully completed. I still had a few issues with paging and rendering but now they are fixed. Now you can select a message and delete it & edit it. But also now you can create a comment, lock an issue, unlock an issue and create an issue. I also added a thing that I hope will be appreciated, Helyx renders Markdown from GitHub Issue comment and when you comment via Helyx, Helyx gives you Markdown options such as: Bold Text Italic Text Code Text List Quote Also, when you don’t provide a text to a comment in GitHub, Helyx will say that “No description was provided.” So the same thing as GitHub already does, but in Helyx you must provide text. Why? Because why would you create a comment with no text? So I banned adding a comment with no text. Okay, that would be everything! It was fun to create this because everything was working so well, except the paging system… that was painful to make even with Claude’s help. As I said in past devlogs, after Issues I am going to move to PRs. So yeah, let’s work on PR. I hope it won’t be harder to make, because a PR is a type of Issue in GitHub, so I hope I will use the same function logic and functions and callbacks to make it.
Manage PRs displaying and some logic done After pulling another all-nighter I finished making the Pull Request display functions. List and details about each Pull Request is done and paging also works too (took it from manage issues ;] ). Pull Requests also contain filters such as: Open Drafts Assigned Reviewed and we can’t forget their counterparts either: Closed Ready Unassigned No reviewers Pull Requests now have comment selection and Markdown formatting, but functions to manage Pull Requests are not done yet. The only ones I managed to finish are: Comment Open Browser The biggest problem with PRs is going to be, that their functions and methods for executing those functions are more complex than the ones for Issues. I plan to add these functions for PRs: Delete Comment Merge Review Close PR Reopen PR I am pretty sure that all of this will be done in next devlog, so stay updated! This is going to be very cool, I think. Well, now I am going to sleep so good night everyone!
Manage PRs done! Added few new things… I finally finished making Manage PRs. So now you can: Delete Comment Merge Review Close PR Reopen PR I also had to fix some design flaws and function flaws but now it should be all good. Before doing all of this, there was a bunch of GET requests… now? Now it is also a bunch of PATCH & PUT requests. Also, now when you’ll try to link your GitHub Repository with the local one, you will just select the one that is on your GitHub account. Another thing! When you have conflicts between the local repository and the remote one (GitHub) and you try to sync them, a lot of the time Notepad pops us and tells you to remove the version of the text that you don’t want. Well now Helyx does it too and doesn’t open notepad, but lets you do it directly in TUI interface in my very own notepad. Conflict solver also uses alternate screen for this. (there’s sadly no showoff image for this, because currently I don’t have anything to create a conflict on) I am not sure what to do next in a next devlog, since everything I really wanted to do is already done… well… not everything but everything around the main things is. Maybe I’ll move on another refactoring? Or finishing the language settings? Well, we will see!
Adding new features & fixing bugs I finished making “Analyze Project” which analyzes your whole project and prints stuff such as: Number of files Number of folders Size of the project on disk Number of lines Also you can now see what amount of what programming language makes your project. It also shows you the biggest files in your project directory. And also you can see Git information such as: Branch Number of commits First commit (date) Last commit Working tree .git size So it displays some maybe important and basic information that you may check sometimes or might be interested in. There were like 6 revisions of this because I was testing different styles & designs. I also found a lot of hidden bugs with help of Claude! Before talking about bugs, I will tell you something about new features that I added. Now, when you assign a badge or change a status and you don’t have markers in README.md yet in it, then it will ask you if you want to add them manually or via Helyx. What does that mean? Well, it opens a “text editor” in Helyx which displays README.md and you can insert the badges/statuses where you want instead of opening the file in notepad and inserting the markers manually. Overall it is way quicker to do it now via Helyx. Helyx’s Generic Text Editor is now even better! You can now use all of the arrows, before you could just use Left/Right Arrow to move cursor left or right. Now you can move between lines. Now you can also open your project’s wiki via Helyx. Be aware that it doesn’t check anything, if you have wiki or not. It directly opens the website for the wiki where it should have been for the current linked GitHub Repository. Let’s talk about bugs now! Open an issue called the Markdown handler function and it was accidentally calling GitHub 101 times, when it needed some info. Now it doesn’t. 🆒 Notes have an encryption system, so if you put some sensitive info into it, it couldn’t be directly taken from the file. Only via Helyx. There was a bug, where when you enabled encryption and edit notes of 2 projects, then you turn off encryption globally and open the first project’s notes, it decrypts… but after that you open second project’s notes, it won’t. This was due to having a global bool instead of per project bool when saving if it was encrypted. Fixeddd! Another bug! Sync Status & Sync Badges was deleting staging index. Funny that I was thinking about to restore the staging index whenever using it, but at the end… the logic was wrong 😭 Now it isn’t. Then there was a bug that when you unassigned a badge, it unassigned ALL badges. Fixed! Another bug linked to badges… Unassigning a badge didn’t remove it from GitHub. Yeah… fixed!!
Fixing more bugs I fix bugs mainly with use of Claude Code, because hunting for bugs is not easy and this project is not a small one haha. I had to run MANY code review tools for this, because every time it kept finding new bugs. No idea how but it did. So what we fixed? If a GitHub comment had bold text split across two lines, opening that issue crashed Helyx before it drew anything. A file with a square bracket in its name (e.g. data[1].json) crashed Status, Diff, Commit, Stashes and Log. If anything held config.json open for even a moment, Helyx assumed it was corrupt, reset it, then crashed everywhere that looked for a project. If config.json was missing its Badges section, the startup migration quietly deleted every badge from every project. Committing saved a copy of the project taken before the confirmation prompts, so anything changed in between was silently thrown away. If you linked a GitHub repo during Push, the remote was created with an empty name. Syncing a status that had since been deleted crashed in the middle of a push. A commit message containing a square bracket crashed “View Full Message” (those are just bugs that were missing Markup.Escape() function). Applying a stash said “applied successfully” even when it conflicted. One bad path stored in config.json crashed “Add Project”. This is just a snippet of the amount of fixed bugs. I won’t write all of them here since it would take a lot of text and I am pretty sure that this is enough for you to understand that we fixed a lot of bugs haha. Right now I am going to do the Language System. I am not sure if I mentioned in some devlog, the list of languages that Helyx will support. If not… there it is: English Slovak Spanish French German Russian
Languages almost done, moving onto GitHub & README.md Well guys, Language System is almost done. It is powered by a Resources file that stores all of the translated strings. More bugs were found! But now, all of the bugs should be fixed with also many failsafes! Now, I want to complete the Language System because I am really close to finishing it. I also want to make the README.md for Helyx’s GitHub Repository. Originally I wanted to make it via Obsidian app, but it doesn’t have direct support for Wakatime, so I have to use VS 2026 native Markdown editor with the support of Markdown Editor v2 extension from Mads Kristensen. (not sponsored lol) I also heard that Obsidian app doesn’t use the same Markdown as GitHub does so there would be some things mistyped or not even rendered, but VS 2026 should be fully compatible with GitHub’s Markdown renderer, so we will see!
More bugs fixed, new functions, README & Language System updates! Hello guys, once again at 4 AM! Bugs: As the title says, there are more fixed bugs. Diagnostics crashed Helyx if you ran a rebase in a terminal and hit a conflict. Now it doesn’t! Another fixed bug is that when you opened an issue in Helyx, the footer vanished. At first I was shocked, but it was a simple fix so now your footer doesn’t vanish. Another vanishing bug! The Languages row from the header vanished when you entered a tab where Layout class was being used. Now you will see your sweet programming languages used in your selected project. Guess what! Another vanishing bug! This time the whole header vanished when you exited .Live()! Now it is okay! New behaviour: I unified some color codes with some type of info. E.g. SHA is Dark Orange everywhere, Stash is Yellow, Date is Cadet Blue and Issue Number is Aqua. The README.md editor, when inserting badges/status now has a new keybind: backspace! It is different from DEL! DEL deletes the badges/status but backspace deletes the whole line, including the badge/status that was on that line. README The README is almost done! At least I hope! Claude was a big help here, because I wanted to create an insane README and we really did. Guys, you should be excited about the README file haha! Language System Translations for these languages are already done: English French German Russian Slovak Spanish So basically every language translation is already done. BUT I decided to add even more languages! The new languages that Helyx will support are: Italian Portuguese
New features, new languages, new problems. A new feature that I added is GitHub Actions! It is on the same principle as Manage Issues and Manage PRs, so you have a list of GitHub Actions, you pick one and you can control it, check its log, observe information about it. You can even run an action! I also added a refresh keybind to Manage Issues, Manage PRs and GitHub Actions. Before, you had to go back from the details of an issue/PR/action to the list and then return to the details. Now you don’t have to. You just have to press the keybind displayed in the footer that belongs to refresh. Yes! The Helyx Language System is finally complete! Italian & Portuguese are now available in Helyx! Lately I’ve been working on the README.md file. I was mainly making more GIFs & designing screenshots for it so it will look pretty and futuristic (in my opinion)! As I have mentioned in the title, NEW… PROBLEMS! People… you won’t believe what happened to me today… I use Helyx’s Git & GitHub for testing, so there is no official one yet, and I rarely commit changes or push them. Only when I test something. And it looks like it got back at me. Well… I told Claude Code to remove comments all over my codebase, because they were mainly scrapped code and some temporary information that I had there, that wasn’t used anymore. Okay, so I told it to remove them, and for some reason instead of removing comments, it deleted Helyx’s whole codebase. Thank god README.md was untouched haha. We had to decompile the .dll that was left over from testing Helyx’s latest version, and actually check the diff and rewrite it. We still don’t know if everything was brought back since for some reason Claude Code’s memory got wiped instantly when it realized that it deleted my whole codebase. There were no backups, no restore, no nothing. The only possible thing was to use the forgotten stash that I created and use the .dll as a map to restore Helyx’s outdated codebase and rewrite it again. So that’s what we did. Yeah, so I hope everything was brought back. Claude says it was, but after what it has done I don’t know if I trust it. Just kidding, everything should be back, because it compared the .dll with the rewritten code 1:1 and everything matched.
GitHub done, shipping Helyx today! Today I was messing with the GitHub page for Helyx, fixing the last bugs we found and working on the installer. For the installer I used Inno Setup, because it is the most recognized and the most used one. The point of using an installer is simple: it adds Helyx to PATH. Of course there were other options, but this one seemed like the best fit. We were fighting with the script for a while, because it was doing really weird things, like staying in the background after the installation finished. But those bugs are fixed now! README.md is done, all of those GIFs and screenshots are in it too, and I have to say it looks really good! I was also setting up the GitHub side of things, so the description, the tags, a GitHub Action and so on. With the help of Claude Code, we created the logo and the banner for the installer as well. The installer uses the same logo as Helyx. It’s just a basic H, because nothing else came to mind haha. I also asked Claude Code to review the codebase one last time, and yep, it looks fine! I told it to add the basic documentation comments as well, the <summary> kind. Let’s be real here, nobody does this, and if they do, something else writes it for them, usually an AI, because it understands the function better than the person who wrote it (I know that from my own experience hahaha).
Experimenting with the conflict solver I was thinking about adding a simpler conflict solver, where you wouldn’t have to delete the <<<<<<< , ======= and >>>>>>> markers yourself but would just pick either the first or the second version. But I realized it would be messier than I thought, so in the end I kept it as a basic editor where you remove the version you don’t want by hand.
README.md update I replaced the title in README.md with a banner that contains the text Helyx. I tried a few versions I made and, well, I landed on the one you can see in Helyx’s README.md, or below!
Edited README.md I rewrote the README.md because of the ship review. I also added a couple of recommendations that are worth knowing when you use Helyx. I also removed the <summary> comments that Claude Code wrote for the documentation, I don’t think that anyone would have used them anyway.
Edited README.md, again I was again editing the whole README.md, because reviewers weren’t happy with the current one. Well after spending another hour of editing the whole README.md file, I hope they won’t ask me to rewrite the whole README.md file again, because I don’t even know what else to add/remove/edit.
Added GitHub Issues/PRs events rendering Originally, when you selected Manage GitHub Issues or PRs and opened some issues/PR. You could have only seen messages posted by users, but not when a label was assigned or when the issue/PR was closed. Well… Now you can! Now it displays the exact action that happened and when it happened! Of course, it is also translated to all languages that Helyx supports. Just making sure you didn’t think it wasn’t! I also cleaned up the code a little bit. Removed some useless usings and some files were in the wrong namespace, so that is fixed too.
Replaced hardcoded string colors with Color members for code safety, fixed line breaking while assigning a status/badge Okay so Markup texts (those are the texts with color) were formatted in this format: "[red]Hello World![/]" So it was string-based. And if you accidentally added some character to it for instance: "[redd]Hello World![/]" <- Exception Helyx would crash. I mainly added this, because it is an open-source project. So if someone tried to edit it, they would only have to edit the string and they might have misspelled it. But now, when he goes into the codebase, he will see Color members and he just can’t misspell that, and if he would, compiler would alert him. Basically, now it is like this: $"[{Color.Red}]Hello World![/]" Okay so next I fixed line breaking. What does that mean? Well… In Helyx native README editor, so when you try to assign a status/badge, you’ll get that editor, when you try to add a status/badge to that line, you might have thought that it would be on the same line as the tags above it. But it didn’t… This was happening due to the comment markers for Helyx so Helyx knows where this status/badge is located and which status/badge it is. Now Helyx will put those comment markers in a way that prevents the line from breaking.
Reviewing my codebase and fixing bugs Since all of the features that Helyx was supposed to be finished with are almost all done (maybe even all are done), I will now change my view to another projects for Stardance such as ThetaNexus . But that does not mean that now I will just forget about Helyx. I will be reviewing the codebase sometimes to find some bugs and fix them. You can help me with this, by making an Issue request on Helyx’s GitHub. So what bugs did I fix since the last devlog? I fixed line breaking in badge/status README editor. When you were inserting your badge/status into your README via Helyx’s README editor, it done… messy stuff to the README, not something like really bad what couldn’t be fixed by manually doing it, but it should now insert the badge/status exactly as you see it in the editor. I also introduced a new ‘Found state’ text instead of ‘Found’ text in IDE settings to avoid confusion. To avoid confusion because if an editor was found and you clicked on it… it wrote this: Found Found Found Not Found Found Set by user Now it writes this: Found state Found Found state Not Found Found state Set by user Most of the time, I was reviewing the codebase via Claude Code to actually check everything precisely.
Fixed User Scripts bug So, every path block used Path.GetFullPath(path) instead of Path.GetFullPath(path, script.ProjectPath) . That means it was resolving relative paths against Helyx’s own directory, not your project’s. This is now fixed.
Hackatime integration Hello there! A guy made a feature suggestion on Helyx’s GitHub, that I should add a Hackatime integration into it. So I was thinking… and thinking… and thinking and woah… I ADDED IT! It is not 1:1 like the web interface, that one is better & shows you more things but sadly this was everything that I could request from API (at least I think): Total Seconds Languages Repo URL Total Heartbeats First Heartbeat (DateTime) Last Heartbeat (DateTime) and when combining all of these information, I created a screen where you can see all of this specifically for your project. It works on the principe of authorization. You put in your Hackatime token which authorizes you and then when you go to your project and go on Hackatime Info, it prompts you to select the project from a list of projects that are assigned to your Hackatime account/token.
Mysterious bug I solving some bug with UpdateHandler that my friend has been experiencing. It was that you could only check for updates for Helyx if you authorized your GitHub. Otherwise, you couldn’t! I was taking the update checking through a function that sent a HTTP request with a key that Helyx receives by authorization, in this situation it isn’t needed, but when not given in that function, it returns an error. So now you can freely check for updates for Helyx even without authorizing with GitHub!
Ships:
What I made Helyx is a terminal app for Windows that keeps every local Git repository you own in one place and lets you commit, branch, resolve conflicts, repair broken repositories and answer GitHub Issues and Pull Requests without opening anything else. I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of project I wanted to build. I wanted something that would be genuinely useful to developers in many different ways, and that is how I came up with Helyx, a TUI application that brings many Git and GitHub tasks into one place. What was challenging Learning new libraries, keeping the code organized as it grew, and designing every screen so it looks and feels as polished as I could get it. Deciding what to build next was harder than it sounds, because there was always more that could go in. What I am proud of It has everything I originally planned to include. The diagnostics screen finds what is wrong with a repository and offers the fix instead of just reporting it, the conflict resolver opens the conflicted block in its own editor, and the whole app speaks 8 languages. How to try it Download the latest release from Helyx’s GitHub and run it. It installs into your user folder and adds Helyx to your PATH , so you can start it by typing helyx in any terminal. No administrator rights are needed, and the .NET runtime is bundled inside. Then pick Add project and choose any folder that contains your project. Helyx is open source, so you can also read the code or build it yourself. Just click See source code below.

Hello! This is my first devlog for this project that I am excited to make and share. To start, my goal is to make a simple app that allows the user to generate a custom planet using a few different options like the number of craters or color of the planet. I don’t plan for it to be very complex. I might add a shader or more complex options later but, time will tell.

Vertices, vertices, vertices. Before this project, I had only used Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) to define shapes, not anymore!

Currently it doesn’t work when compiled to WebAssembly so, it isn’t finished just yet. But, once it is working on the web it will start preparing to ship the app. Although that could change, just know that my next devlog might be the last one for this project. That’s it for now, bye!
My Own Planet have reached v1.0.0 I have worked on the export feature and now the planet can be downloaded as .obj for both local and WebAssembly. The project is also now on itch.io as well!
Ships:
My Own Planet is a simple app that allows you to create your very own planet using a variety of options. Even though My Own Planet isn’t very complex it still through a challenge. Creating the planet mesh in bevy wasn’t so hard but vertex displacement, UI, and WebAssembly compatibility did! Creating this app have taught me a surprising number of things. From objects defined with vertices to creating a UI system, what I have learned from this project is what I am most proud of. Running the project should be straightforward either run the WebAssembly version on itch.io, download, uncompress, and run the executable from itch.io, or follow the building instructions in GitHub (note that you will need to have rustup installed to build the app on your computer)...

User Interface updated for everyone even without updating the App Examples There are now examples bundled with NeneUI Testing Kit, One is an AI Chat Application and other is called NeneWorld with Pokedex and Weather API and Country API uses to showcase the Widgets Conclusion There were alot of challenges while making this library with my Laptop dropping to 0.47GHz at random moments and searching the pub.dev docs for shadcn_flutter and upgrading sub-libraries and testing stuff the major headache being the Navigation and Web Support (SEO is done via PHP to show Web Crawlers meangingful HTML to index).

Basically, You can write your Entire App in TypeScript and It gets Rendered Into Native Flutter Widgets without WebView. Why? We need Server-Driven UI to ensure that we do not need to update an entire app for a little UI changes or even major overhauls of the App Interface, We could just change it on Server-Side and updated without going through the process of Approval and such. Major Updates After the Previous Ship NeneUI Testing Kit has been buffed with Debug Bar and More Platforms Support for WebSocket Rendering Web Support (along with SEO PHP for Web Crawlers) Memory/GPU Leak issues fixed! Advanced & Improved + Detailed Documentation Decorated README.md Documentation The New Documentation is now written in Docsaurus and hosted in Github Pages at https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/ along with the NeneUI Testing Kit at https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/tester . While it took alot of time documenting each working Widgets but it has now made using @neneys /ui more easier. New Widgets That were Added NeneDisplay and NeneNavbottom - Theese Two Widgets Now help you construct an Bottom Bar with Various Pages as Content that can be now switched from one place to another without reloading the entire page. Layouts and Layout - This allows you to put many Content on Side of Each Other and allow you the drag wheel to drag and arrange the size. WebSocket Widget - It can also render Widgets over WS live real-time making it an really useful feature. Some New Action Callbacks were also added such as SOFTRELOAD that softly reloads the UI without changing the states and maintains the UI. DebugBar The Testing Kit Now includes and Debug Bar to help Developers Reload the UI or check the #id Declarations and Variables Value NeneDesktopRuntime An Desktop Runtime that is WIP but could help replace Electron.js where everything is WebView and sucks alot of ram. But NeneDesktopRuntime can render the Widgets with TypeScript into Native Widgets. Examples There are now examples bundled with NeneUI Testing Kit, One is an AI Chat Application and other is called NeneWorld with Pokedex and Weather API and Country API uses to showcase the Widgets FAQ Page An FAQ Page has been added to ensure the Users dont get stuck somewhere in the library and could get some reference on it Such as the Linux issue with quickjs where the fix is provided.

Completely Native. The Challenges i faced were, how to like index the widgets to be used while JSON becomes parsed and the handling of #ids and most importantly, ForEach Option and the JS Option. I used shadcn_flutter for UI Elements that were rendered, i really like shadcn_flutter’s Design. it’s really cool. I tried to keep it as much as user-friendly as possible, by adding TypeScript Types so VSCode Auto-complete could work. I have also added File Uploads feature with In-Memory Image Display too, if it’s an Image, it is really helpful, even with Server Callbacks and such things Theese are necessary for an production application. And Actions such as TOAST, DIALOG, NAVIGATE, etc. This is the intresting part too!! You can try out the library at https://www.npmjs.com/@neneys/ui for testing it out! While the docs is still not complete, i hope that the documented Widgets could work for your expirment too! I plan to continue this Library even after the program ends!!

As i told earlier, NeneUI allows you to write the entire App UI in TypeScript and Render it Server-Side and produce in front of User. AND NO NENEUI IS NOT A WEBVIEW. It translates TypeScript into NATIVE Flutter Widgets. So the Interface feels native and uses Less RAM in this RAM Crisis Economy. Status? NeneUI is still in early stages, as i consider it.

Devlog (No.7) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere I’ve been thinking and working on new features which would make it possible for NeneUI to be used productionally by all the developers New Features ForEach Widget Support to ForEach Terms Column ( ' #forEachTest ' , { mainAxisAlignment : MainAxis . start , crossAxisAlignment : CrossAxis . start , foreach : true , children : ForEach ( ' #forEachW ' , { varToForEach : " testMap " , namespaceVar : " testMap " , child : Row ( ' #roWCh ' , { children : [ Text ( ' #TextABC ' , { text : Var ({ template : " Hello, %1 (%2) " , variable : " for.title,for.gender " }) }) ] }) }) }) The Code ForEach will only work inside children:[] where multiple widgets can be rendered Such as Row, Flex, Table Frame Widget Frame ( ' #frame ' , { framePath : " /ui/test " }) This Widget Functions just like IFrames in HTML to render something inside another page Table Widgets The Table Widgets Include Table , TableCell , TableFooter , TableRow , TableSize DatePicker Widget DatePicker ( ' #dtp ' , { mode : PromptMode . dialog , defaultDate : DateTime . now () }) PromptMode and DateTime are now integrated within Core.ts JavaScript Code Execution!! YOU CAN NOW EXECUTE JAVASCRIPT CODE TOO!! DoAction ( Action . JAVASCRIPT , `console.log("Var: "+getVariable("#userName.controller")); action(' ${ Action . SHOW_TOAST } ', Date.now() + ' Hello World ' + getVariable("#userName.controller"));` ) Currently Using flutter_js which in turn uses QJS behind the scenes Modifications Image now supports Variable URL Support as well showScaffold Flag has been added to Daikon Renderer for Frame Planned Stuffs ListView and GridView Support in Future Updates Usable JS Features OTP Input and More Shadcn_flutter Widgets Thanks for Reading!!!!
Devlog (No.8) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere I’ve thought of more useful features and added them as well, and you will love it Here are the list of the features i’ve added File Uploads!! Breadcrumbs PropsReplacement Improved Nene HTTP ColorPickers! Some Docs Image Memory File uploads was the hardest part to do, it took a lot of time debugging and working around then there was loading image from memory i had to figure out what to do, so i just made it to load the selected file from memory Known Funny Issue: Please don’t try uploading a GB worth of file, it freezes up your system, i think i may try writing an exception that prevents 500MB+ file being uploaded otherwise it’s disaster I’m planning to ship 1st release by next blog soon enough, working on it from now on so it would be easier for everyone to use it Here’s the Screenshot
Devlog (No.9) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere I hope this is the last Devlog, before shipping the first version Here’s the List of Changes made Added an Sample Project Extended Docs and Readme.md Fixed Bugs in TS Library Themes Support! showDialog -> showOverlay Package Renamed to as @neneys /ui I really love this project, i always hoped for an Remote Server Side Native UI Rendering, And here we are with first release!!! I hope for your genuine support and love for this project! Thanks, I love everyone ❤️ !
Devlog (No.10) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Here are the changes that were made and are planned NeneUI Tester Pre-hosted NeneUI Examples @neneys /payments system Video, Audio Players Custom Widget SharedPreferences Please suggest more changes that can be added to @neneys /ui Love you all ❤️
Devlog (No.11) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere New Widget (as a plugin) : VideoFrame Widget, Currently this is an prototype and i don’t gurantee complete stableness in this VideoFrame. Other Major Changes Migrated to Latest Flutter SDK Removed Material Mentions Upgraded shadcn_flutter New Fatal Error When Starting up I have re-designed the Fatal Error when NeneUI couldn’t be initialized for some reason, now you can Try Again or even copy the Stacktrace on why is it happening What are the plans? Improve Stability & Performance Focus more on Documentation Theese Suggestions were given by Anon in Review, and i think i should focus on them more. And that’s it for now Thank you, for reading Love you all 😘😘
Devlog (No.12) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Bug Fixes & Improvements Larger Files Now Do not Freeze The Entire App It can now process Large Files (e.g. Ubuntu ISO) A Single Error in Widget (exclusion of RenderOverflows) now don’t block entire app, As seen in Screenshot (2) below Error Handling has been improved. Re-Designed: NeneUI Testing Tool It has been Renamed into NeneUI Testing Kit It now has a Nice Looking UI with Nene in Right! Links to Project now included and Confirmation of Launch App and Plugins Selection Anyways, That’s it for Today! Thank you! Love you all 🤞🥰
Devlog (No.13) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Bug Fixes And Improvements Fix Bug where FormSubmit would .pop the context out Upgrade flutter_js to flutter_quickjs Improve NeneUI Testing Kit for Android Setup Plugins Support New Features @neneys /payments - Yes, You can Accept Payments from NeneUI now too! Docs - Working on a Documentation based on Docusaurus What’s Next? Improving JS Execution and Making it More Secure Working on Form Submission to fix some issues An Proper Docs for every Humans! Making @neneys /payments on Flutter to use url_launcher or Native Plugins instead of rendering it in Web, would be better. More Plugins!! Hey, i’ve been thinking would it be good idea, if we make it an Electron like Windows/Linux/macOS App Making too but instead of Chromium it’ll be flutter render?? Thanks, kwee26 Love you all 🥰
Devlog (No.14) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Docs, Finally! Tho it’s not complete but foundation is now laid! Using Docsaurus for the Docs Changes in NeneUI? Upgrade Sample App Version Publish 0.0.6 to Dart for Combability Docs is available at https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/ NeneUI is becoming more and more productional! New Features & Bug Fixes Coming on the WAY!!! NOTE: Only a few components are documented as of now! Thanks for Reading Love you all 😘😘
Devlog (No.15) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere What’s New in Docs? -> I’ve Separated Base Components and Form Components -> TextField, ColorPicker, CheckBox Docs Added -> Sample Callback has been added What’s Next? Add Actions and DoAction Docs and Explaining Callbacks Navigation System What did i discover? Appearently if you do not have Scaffold in a new page, Flutter makes it completly black page. It seems like Scaffold is required to be defined from NeneUI Server-Side. Plans in NeneUI Implement More Controlled JavaScript Environment and Allow Enabling and Disabling JavaScript. Restrictions and More Functions to Manipulate Widgets One More thing Apparently, The NPM Package and Flutter Package is recieving alot of Downloads in week, idk how, But I’m very happy and i really want to thank them. . Anyways . Thank you for reading my devlog. Love you all!!!! 🥰🥰
Devlog (No.16) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Bug Fixes in NeneUI Fixed a Bug where Padding caused Null Error in Some Widgets Fixed Card not having color passed down to UI Renderer Docs Updates The Documentation of Actions and Forms is now Complete!! Next Up Feedback and more! Example App (WIP) The Example app is located in stardance_ui.ts <– It’s an utilisation of Stardance API to show something and render it in NeneUI! (It’s in very very early stage also it’s letting me discover more stability bugs along with it.) Info on Plugins I’m planning to pause on Plugins development and not include the @neneys /payments plugin in Testing Kit for Now. Desktop App (Electron-like Solution) - [Planned] I’m planning to make an Electron-like Framework but instead of Chromium we’ll use NeneUI to render the Desktop App. Thank you for reading!! I love the readers ;)
Devlog (No.17) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Bug Fixes Fix where Height/Width of Image’s Default Value was always 0. Docs Progress Added Content Documentation Added Feedback Widgets Docs such as Progress, CircularProgressIndicator, etc. Experiment Tried to Experiment with Rust Renderer, It did not work as i don’t know rust much properly Desktop Apps - Planning Update I’ve planned to make the Desktop Apps be static but built from TypeScript and Bundle Flutter + Bun Shipping Desktop Apps. Stardance Example In the Stardance Example, I’ve added Banner Images Support if available and Creation Date and Devlog Count. More to come on the way. Thanks for reading everyone Love you all >3…..

I’m having a slight fever, so i’m unable to update many things i’ve planned in my mind, i apologise for it. Anyways Thanks everyone, Love you for the support ❤️
Devlog (No.20) - A tiny update NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere CUSTOM WIDGET YAY!!!! NeneBottomNavbar Bottom Navigation Bar for NeneUI Apps! With Two Types for Now normal , float About NeneNavbottom and NeneNavItem are the new widgets added. Any New Widget? Yes, NeneSidebar as well and NeneDisplay for Route and SPA System THANKS for Reading !!! Love you all.
Devlog (No.21) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere New Widget & Major Feature Added NeneDisplay to Change the Area of the Screen with a custom route, Like we see on normal apps. NeneDisplay It follows the index of bottomNavbar (or prescribed Variable) and loads the corresponding Page on the Area specified. Only Scaffold Body as a whole is supported as of now. NeneDisplay ({ urlMap : { 0 : " /ui/route_a " , 1 : " /ui/route_b " } }) It has urlMap and followIndex arguments only. Quick Note: It does not create a complete new Nene IDDB, It exists on top of the existing one so the variables do not disappear that were assigned by previous page . Thanks for reading today!! I hope your day goes well Love you all >3
Devlog (No.22) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere NeneWorld - An Sample App NeneWorld is an Sample App for @neneys /ui Showcasing some Little Things of NeneUI. *Who Made It? : * Claude! Yes SKILL.md is coming soon to everyone, where the AI can read SKILL.md and create an App using NeneUI Library. Features? of this Sample App Demo of NeneBottomnav, NeneDisplay Images Buttons and Callback Pokedex Dw, Only the Sample is AI-written, The Main Project @neneys /ui Library is still an human-made project. And i do not want AI to take over NeneUI and write it itself, that would ruin this Library Why Skill.MD? So, that Users Can make an App using NeneUI and also ask AI For Help where they feel stuck. Tho it consumes tokens alot, cus NeneUI is becoming an more larger library Excuz me what is NeneUI? As i told earlier, NeneUI allows you to write the entire App UI in TypeScript and Render it Server-Side and produce in front of User. AND NO NENEUI IS NOT A WEBVIEW. It translates TypeScript into NATIVE Flutter Widgets. So the Interface feels native and uses Less RAM in this RAM Crisis Economy. Status? NeneUI is still in early stages, as i consider it. It still lacks many things such as an shared_preferences Implementation, WebSockets and proper Secure JavaScript Execution System. Conclusion I love if i get even tiny support for NeneUI and the people reading this devlog, I love you all who support me ;) Love you >3… Thanks for reading…!!!!
Devlog (No.23) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere New Features Shared Preferences ReqType Action.SOFT_RELOAD SharedPreferences You can use SET_PREFS and REM_PREFS Action to Set or Remove and PREF_EXISTS with exists and not parameters for functions GetPrefs When ReqType.POST is present you could use GetPrefs to get the preference value in UI/Callback Route GetFile Returns File Uploaded’s Path as in uploads/file.extension only works in Callback as that’s the place where you could recieve file. Action.SOFT_RELOAD Reloads the Screen without Changing any State or Position of Page. Other Changes :- Remove Old docs/ folder and SKILL.md for AI Agents to utilise NeneUI properly Thanks for reading. love you all 🥰🥰
Devlog (No.24) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere WebSocket Support NeneUI now supports WebSocket Rendering and Execution WebSocket ({ url : " ws://localhost:3500/ws/home " , }) What Can it Do? Show Widgets Over WebSockets Execute Actions Use Cases? ChatBots Live News? Messaging? New Action Action.SEND_SOCKET Uses FormSubmitAction as Parameter with :socket: as the callbackPath New Functions SendWidget(socket, Widget) SendAction(socket, DoAction) Thanks for Reading! Love you all readers >3!
Devlog (No.25) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere New Widget Layouts Layout Layouts and Layout It helps you make an Layout on Screen as show in Screenshot. And It can be arranged via an Handle too, It supports unlimited Layout on Screen as much as space is there. Removed Removed Skeleton Widget from Docs as it was no-longer rendering properly README.md The README.md is now updated with some Images and Decorative Work for looking more nicer and attractive New Action New Action such as ACTION.SET_DISPLAY_INDEX and ACTION.CLOSE_OVERLAY AlertDialog is now documented under FeedBack Section Nene Desktop Runtime Nene Desktop Runtime is half-done and still has some issues, will try to fix it and make it install and run Apps soon! Thanks for reading!! I love you all >3
Devlog (No.26) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Web - Platform Support Finally, @neneys /ui is now supported on Web (Flutter Web). The Inconsistencies are now managed making @neneys /ui work directly on Web Too. *Limitations on Web * Same as Flutter Web - It’s hard for crawlers to idenitfy content of web pages. I’m trying to fix that issue by double-rendering. Mostly by Setting-up an PHP to Interept the UI into HTML for Crawlers Making SEO work good! README.md Changes FAQ Added into README (Address the Linux Compile Issue in FAQ related to quickjs_engine) More Decorative Elements Github Actions Nene UI Testing Kit finally compiles on all 5 (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, macOS) successfuly. Linux, macOS - May require libmpv to be installed or available on system path We seem to be very close to first v1 Release with maximum widgets and support. Thanks for Reading!! I love you all 3<.!!!
Devlog (No.27) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere JavascriptEngine JavaScriptEngine({…}) which could control Whether JS should be enabled or not and how much stackSize should be specified. xhr should be enabled or disabled SEO Support for Flutter Web With the Help of PHP to Render Text, Image and some minimal data. PHP can provide basic Page to Crawlers requesting the site. So that SEO could be utilised. However, PHP Version Selection is limited to only allow the recently patched PHP versions for Security Reasons. Github Actions Added Nene Desktop Runtime to be built in Github Actions Bug FIxes @neneys /ui had a Critical Memory and GPU Leak issue which kept the GPU usage at constant high even when not being used and being left Idle. Docs Updates JavaScript Execution and SEO Setup are now documented in the Docs and pub.dev and npmjs packages are now updated NeneUI Testing Kit NeneUI Testing Kit are now available on Web https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/tester However It could only open HTTPS and Cors (*) Apps only and is kind of limited with some JS Execution Issues. The User Interface of Testing Kit is also quite updated. Close to Release NeneUI is now Close to being 1.0.0 Release finally! Within 1-2 devlogs i’ll be shipping soon.!! Thanks for reading! Love you <3!
Devlog (No.28) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere README.md README.md has been improved alot with visual designs and details with Links and References Provided too and some Yashiro Nene based Images. Figma File is provided in link. Docs Updates The Home Page of Docs has been updated to look better and provide more information about NeneUI. The Docs Is now extended and now includes more information about implemented Widgets and Link to NeneUI Testing Kit NeneUI Testing Kit The NeneUI Testing Kit has been updated to show examples of @neneys /ui One being an AI Chat Application and other being an random Test with Pokedex, etc. Nene Desktop Runtime While Still Work in Progress, You can now follow the docs to Launch and test the Desktop Runtime. The Desktop Runtime is a standalone application that could embed @neneys /ui in it and Make Desktop Applications with just TypeScript. A Stable Release NeneUI will be released as a stable version 1.0.0 with Pub.dev and NPM Versions available soon as possible and will be kept updated Thanks for your support till 1.0.0 Release! I hope we meet soon! Thanks <3333
Devlog (No. 29) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere About the Memory Leak Issue being Fixed Many People in Review told me how did the Memory Leak get fixed and what was the cause of it? Blog Link May not open now, Since it hasn’t been built yet Docs Changes So, Here’s the docs with it being documented in the blog will be available once Github Actions Finishes Updated Debugger I’m working on a updated @neneys /ui Debugger to be more ease-to-use. Will be finished in a less time, The Debugger will allow the ease of accessing and modifying an Widget Data for the Session and manipulate Shared Preferences. Thanks for reading!! Love you all >3 ❤️
Devlog (No. 30) NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Changes Update some parts of Daikon Debugger and removed some unnessary codes. Extended Debugger Width Desktop Runtime with unused RPC (will work on it) Explanation Diagram Drawn an Explanation Diagram on Figma that shows how Interface and Callbacks works, hope it’s good and does give some idea about @neneys /ui Thanks for reading this minidevlog.!! Love you all <3
Devlog (No. 31) - Thank you NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere Thanks to everyone for supporting me throught Stardance from when i had started the Project. I will continue @neneys /ui on Coral Hackclub if i get enough time. I’m really thankful to Stardance which encouraged me to write this large project. Thanks Love you all :3
Ships:
I made an Server-Side Rendering Library for Flutter, You write the Code in TypeScript and the Flutter Renderer (i named it Daikon) parses it into Native Code, Without WebViews! Completely Native. The Challenges i faced were, how to like index the widgets to be used while JSON becomes parsed and the handling of #ids and most importantly, ForEach Option and the JS Option. I used shadcn_flutter for UI Elements that were rendered, i really like shadcn_flutter’s Design. it’s really cool. I tried to keep it as much as user-friendly as possible, by adding TypeScript Types so VSCode Auto-complete could work. I have also added File Uploads feature with In-Memory Image Display too, if it’s an Image, it is really helpful, even with Server Callbacks and such things Theese are necessary for an production application. And Actions such as TOAST, DIALOG, NAVIGATE, etc. This is the intresting part too!! You can try out the library at https://www.npmjs.com/@neneys/ui for testing it out! While the docs is still not complete, i hope that the documented Widgets could work for your expirment too! I plan to continue this Library even after the program ends!! Love you all! 🥰
@neneys /ui - NeneUI It is an Server-Driven UI Library Which Interpretes TypeScript into an Native Rendered Flutter Widget. Basically, You can write your Entire App in TypeScript and It gets Rendered Into Native Flutter Widgets without WebView. Why? We need Server-Driven UI to ensure that we do not need to update an entire app for a little UI changes or even major overhauls of the App Interface, We could just change it on Server-Side and updated without going through the process of Approval and such. Major Updates After the Previous Ship NeneUI Testing Kit has been buffed with Debug Bar and More Platforms Support for WebSocket Rendering Web Support (along with SEO PHP for Web Crawlers) Memory/GPU Leak issues fixed! Advanced & Improved + Detailed Documentation Decorated README.md Documentation The New Documentation is now written in Docsaurus and hosted in Github Pages at https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/ along with the NeneUI Testing Kit at https://kwe26.github.io/neneui/tester . While it took alot of time documenting each working Widgets but it has now made using @neneys /ui more easier. New Widgets That were Added NeneDisplay and NeneNavbottom - Theese Two Widgets Now help you construct an Bottom Bar with Various Pages as Content that can be now switched from one place to another without reloading the entire page. Layouts and Layout - This allows you to put many Content on Side of Each Other and allow you the drag wheel to drag and arrange the size. WebSocket Widget - It can also render Widgets over WS live real-time making it an really useful feature. Some New Action Callbacks were also added such as SOFTRELOAD that softly reloads the UI without changing the states and maintains the UI. DebugBar The Testing Kit Now includes and Debug Bar to help Developers Reload the UI or check the #id Declarations and Variables Value NeneDesktopRuntime An Desktop Runtime that is WIP but could help replace Electron.js where everything is WebView and sucks alot of ram. But NeneDesktopRuntime can render the Widgets with TypeScript into Native Widgets. Examples There are now examples bundled with NeneUI Testing Kit, One is an AI Chat Application and other is called NeneWorld with Pokedex and Weather API and Country API uses to showcase the Widgets FAQ Page An FAQ Page has been added to ensure the Users dont get stuck somewhere in the library and could get some reference on it Such as the Linux issue with quickjs where the fix is provided. Conclusion There were alot of challenges while making this library with my Laptop dropping to 0.47GHz at random moments and searching the pub.dev docs for shadcn_flutter and upgrading sub-libraries and testing stuff the major headache being the Navigation and Web Support (SEO is done via PHP to show Web Crawlers meangingful HTML to index).
@neneys /ui - NeneUI It is an Server-Driven UI Library Which Interpretes TypeScript into an Native Rendered Flutter Widget. Basically, You can write your Entire App in TypeScript and It gets Rendered Into Native Flutter Widgets without WebView. The Final Ship! I’m shipping the final @neneys /ui for everyone. Thank you for reviewing my project for the final time. Thanks to Stardance for encouraging me to help make this large project myself. But Wait What is This? You have an App, You want to Change it’s UI but you don’t want to wait 4-5 days for the review of App Store to pass, So you change the UI Server-Side and Poof! User Interface updated for everyone even without updating the App Examples There are now examples bundled with NeneUI Testing Kit, One is an AI Chat Application and other is called NeneWorld with Pokedex and Weather API and Country API uses to showcase the Widgets Conclusion There were alot of challenges while making this library with my Laptop dropping to 0.47GHz at random moments and searching the pub.dev docs for shadcn_flutter and upgrading sub-libraries and testing stuff the major headache being the Navigation and Web Support (SEO is done via PHP to show Web Crawlers meangingful HTML to index). Thank you for reviewing my project and Thanks to stardance for providing an platform. Love you all :3 💖...

Devlog 01 Welcome to “trail”, a version control system built on the same core principles as Git. Features: Takes a snapshot of the current state of your project. View all the commit history using ‘trail log –oneline’. Revert back to a specific commit in history. Note: It currently supports only root level files (no nested folders), but I’m actively working on it to expand its features.
Devlog 02 Modified the structure of history.json to support nested files also. Before it, trail only saved commit data for root level files.

Devlogs:
YSH - Terminal
YSH - Terminal , built in Java with versions all having a great vision and stories to remember and with this I completed the LAN Chat better with new Announcement , Kick , Listusers and other Admin only commands.
YSH v10 - Rearrangement and better file system and with a new milestone to achieve ; YSH v10 for now says Hello!!! and ‘echo’ butttt theres alot more to come, CLI and Lightweight Task Manager too.
YSH v10 - Equalizing With v8 Today, I focused on bringing the newly rebuilt YSH v10.GUI closer to the feature set and usability of YSH v8.GUI. Worked on bringing YSH v10.GUI closer to YSH v8 by restoring command history, clear, home, time/date, calculator, system commands, terminal shortcuts, Tab completion, themes, late-night behaviour, and better prompt protection. Also improved filesystem navigation while keeping v10’s new modular architecture.
YSH v10 ( LAN Networking ) update : LAN Chat is fine back to v10 with additional features like chat history and better with easy to join system , upcoming File Share is also coming with… its a secret.
YSH v8 was one of the versions where the project started becoming much more than a basic terminal. This version brought major work around the GUI and filesystem, while also pushing YSH toward a more complete and usable environment. It became an important foundation for the features and architecture that came later in v10. Looking back at v8 now, it’s pretty cool seeing how much the project has evolved from this point.
Some Builds happen Late. The more you explore the more you get to see some interesting stuff, try YSH [ Live on GitHub ] @ YousufProjs-exe/YSH-v8/releases
Caped YSH v10 with check, run, sysinfo, whatsup, clac, notes (add / view / list / edit / delete), multiple command alias, pwd, home, major file and directory commands and with a lot of working shortcuts: Tab to complete, ctrl+l to clear, arrow up / down for history, ctrl+up / down to scroll and more.
tryna update led to downgrade , changing networking commands and protocol got Networking broken.
Networking using new commands is back , scan , chat host , fileshare , ports , are now arranged into newer and better handlers!
fixed Ctrl L, F1, “?”, Tab completes and utilities bugs - released YSH v8.1.4 to the repo !
tried adding more themes but the terminal remains terminal - either way its not what YSH aims for. but this devlog states the addition for beta Arch Mode.
YSH v10 - MAJOR UPDATES - Arch mode and some more themes - all literally all bugs fixed and v10 is said to be ready as BETA and DEMO to the upcoming versions!
although the theme apply and set is fixed and replaced v10s tab completion with v8s as its the better one - i ended with new bug theme not found.
Now - the Fileshare host and get ip bind together with preceding fileshare command with must ip and exact file with extension - more secured and Shell-ish.
YSH v10 - is live !!!! also 100+ hours on YSH development and 24+ hours on YSH v10 as per Hackatime is being recorded ! the new YSH 10 is a must test ! refer the repo for more details but its now got better structure with expanded tree!

This was one of the biggest milestones for the project.The first major task was converting the app from a regular website into a full Electron desktop application. I’d never built an Electron app before, so this was completely new territory. I spent a lot of time reading documentation, troubleshooting errors, and figuring out how everything fit together. One of the first problems I ran into was my Node.js version. I was still using Node 20, but Electron required a newer version, so I upgraded everything to Node 22. After that, I finally got the app launching successfully. Then I hit another challenge. The screen-sharing method I had been using in Chrome relied on Chrome’s built-in sharing APIs, but those don’t work the same way in Electron. Instead of trying to force it to work, I built a completely new system that can capture your screen directly inside the desktop app. The Biggest Feature - AI Debugging This is by far the biggest feature I’ve added so far. The app now works across your entire computer instead of being limited to a single browser tab. No matter what you’re working on, you can instantly ask the AI for help. There are two shortcuts Shift + Enter – Instantly captures your screen and sends it to the AI for analysis. Ctrl + Shift + Enter – First asks what’s wrong so you can provide extra context, then captures your screen and sends both the screenshot and your description to the AI. The best part is that everything gets added to the conversation’s context, so you can continue asking follow-up questions without having to explain everything again.This makes debugging incredibly fast. Instead of taking screenshots, uploading them, and re-explaining the problem every time, you just press a shortcut and the AI immediately understands what you’re looking at."}, {"post_id": 34247, "ts": "2026-07-24T19:42:25Z", "hours": 3.0858, "text": "DevLog 6 - ReRevamp So… my brother said my website looked bad. 😭 That was enough motivation to go back and redesign a bunch of the app’s CSS. The UI is much cleaner now, with better spacing, colors, and overall polish. The coolest feature I added by far is screen shairing. At first, I tried adding an image upload system so the AI could check screenshots, but it ended up being too slow and interrupted the workflow. Then I realized Google Meet can access your screen directly through screen sharing, so I built something similar. Now, whenever you press Shift + Enter, the app captures your current screen, analyzes what’s happening, and explains what it sees. It also automatically adds that information to the conversation context, giving the AI much more information when helping debug issues or answer questions.It’s way faster than constantly taking screenshots and uploading them manually, and it makes debugging feel much more seamless.

I spent quite a while implementing everything, but after I finished… nothing worked. I went through the code over and over trying to find the bug, but I couldn’t figure it out. Eventually, I searched online and found the real problem I was testing on local host, cookies wasn’t going to work. Instead of fighting it any longer, I switched everything over to local storage.The change worked almost immediately, and it was a huge relief to finally see data being saved correctly(YAY) I also spent some time working on voice typing. It looks like I have it working now, and I think it’s going to be one of the coolest features in the app. Being able to talk instead of type just feels like the natural direction for an AI-powered tracker.

DevLog 2 I started working on the AI, and there’s now a built-in AI chat. At first it might seem a little random, but it’s actually a big part of what I have planned.The goal is to add a project journal where you can document your progress over time and easily share it with friends or anyone else who’s interested. The AI will help organize your updates, answer questions about your project, and eventually make keeping a journal much easier.It’s still early, but this is one of the core features that will tie everything together.
DevLog 3 - Revamp This update was all about improving the experience. I switched the color scheme from blue to an amber theme after a friend pointed out that I might be using blue a little too much. Honestly, they had a point;( I also expanded the notes system. Now, each work session keeps track of your timer, notes, and any relevant links, all in one place. The AI can summarize what you worked on, making it much easier to look back on your progress without reading through every note.
DevLog 4 – Cookies I tackled one of the biggest issues with the app saving user data. My original design didn’t have any way to store progress, which was a pretty major flaw.My first attempt was using cookies. I spent quite a while implementing everything, but after I finished… nothing worked. I went through the code over and over trying to find the bug, but I couldn’t figure it out. Eventually, I searched online and found the real problem I was testing on local host, cookies wasn’t going to work. Instead of fighting it any longer, I switched everything over to local storage.The change worked almost immediately, and it was a huge relief to finally see data being saved correctly(YAY) I also spent some time working on voice typing. It looks like I have it working now, and I think it’s going to be one of the coolest features in the app. Being able to talk instead of type just feels like the natural direction for an AI-powered tracker.

DevLog 5 - AI is stupid So before the ai was very bad it did not look at the context and went on a limb so now I made the context better and the ai adds to it and it has links time and a bunch of other stuff so it is smart (Yay). It can look at context and think becouse i swaped to a new ai - gpt-oss-120b - and it is smarter becouse more prameters This took way too long and it was hard but i got it to work and i think this is good if anyone thinks there a probloms dm me or comment
DevLog 6 - ReRevamp So… my brother said my website looked bad. 😭 That was enough motivation to go back and redesign a bunch of the app’s CSS. The UI is much cleaner now, with better spacing, colors, and overall polish. The coolest feature I added by far is screen shairing. At first, I tried adding an image upload system so the AI could check screenshots, but it ended up being too slow and interrupted the workflow. Then I realized Google Meet can access your screen directly through screen sharing, so I built something similar. Now, whenever you press Shift + Enter, the app captures your current screen, analyzes what’s happening, and explains what it sees. It also automatically adds that information to the conversation context, giving the AI much more information when helping debug issues or answer questions.It’s way faster than constantly taking screenshots and uploading them manually, and it makes debugging feel much more seamless. BTW I renamed the app to understand
Devlog 7 – It Actually Works! This was one of the biggest milestones for the project.The first major task was converting the app from a regular website into a full Electron desktop application. I’d never built an Electron app before, so this was completely new territory. I spent a lot of time reading documentation, troubleshooting errors, and figuring out how everything fit together. One of the first problems I ran into was my Node.js version. I was still using Node 20, but Electron required a newer version, so I upgraded everything to Node 22. After that, I finally got the app launching successfully. Then I hit another challenge. The screen-sharing method I had been using in Chrome relied on Chrome’s built-in sharing APIs, but those don’t work the same way in Electron. Instead of trying to force it to work, I built a completely new system that can capture your screen directly inside the desktop app. The Biggest Feature - AI Debugging This is by far the biggest feature I’ve added so far. The app now works across your entire computer instead of being limited to a single browser tab. No matter what you’re working on, you can instantly ask the AI for help. There are two shortcuts Shift + Enter – Instantly captures your screen and sends it to the AI for analysis. Ctrl + Shift + Enter – First asks what’s wrong so you can provide extra context, then captures your screen and sends both the screenshot and your description to the AI. The best part is that everything gets added to the conversation’s context, so you can continue asking follow-up questions without having to explain everything again.This makes debugging incredibly fast. Instead of taking screenshots, uploading them, and re-explaining the problem every time, you just press a shortcut and the AI immediately understands what you’re looking at.
Devlog 8 — Ship Today I focused on polishing Understand and preparing it for release. I fixed remaining issues, tested the important features, and made sure everything was working properly. I also set up the Electron build process, created the Windows installer, organized the GitHub repo, and prepared everything needed to ship the app. Understand is now ready for its first Ship
Ships:
How to Use Understand Install If Windows Defender warns you, click More Information → Run Anyway. This happens because the app is not officially signed. Create Context Tell Understand what you are working on. It creates AI-ready context for your projects. AI Screen Debugging Use the screen check feature to let the AI view your screen and suggest fixes. The idea for this app is to help with debugging and make, um, like giving context to AI simpler and easier....
