I created a really simple python game that may look very simple and “not professional” but in my opinion this project helped me learn many stuff about python like fixing code, finding out about functions and modules, and so much more!...

Improved fast-stroke drawing with pixel interpolation, fixed immediate Fill rendering, handled transparent pixels in the eyedropper, prevented unnecessary undo history entries, and added Redo alongside Undo.
Rebuilt Pixel Art as it was built using alot AI because it was hard to implement, but still I now rebuilt it.
Pixel canvas dimensions bug fixed, and rewrote whole js as suggested by the shipwright.

added another feature it does the scaling thing , hm so i used hyprctl eval 'hl.monitor({ output = "eDP-1", scale = 1.0 })' hyprctl commands obviously and scaled the monitors i think now imma gonna add separate display scaling , not a prob for me as i still havent implanted any cli commands , but also i added refresh rate impl too in the io.rs js didnt used tht in main.rs gonna do tht soon check the video here “ https://youtu.be/PTmcT2p5NYg ”
ok now i am working on it to use it as cli tool not js cargo run and pray so i think i will start with passing a value in cargo for now .ok did some work and got the refresh rate thing working too , now cargo run –list , cargo run – scale and refresh works , and works pretty fine i will need to add some restrictions because scalling max is 10 , higher gives hypr err , higher ref rate on external hdmi = no signal also disabling eDP kills the waybar too oh thts my fault lemme fix my own waybar , done took a lil time but fixed , also i changed hyprctl monitors -j to hyprctl monitors all -j because after disabling one moniter , hyprctl monitors was ignoring the disabled one
ok added some restrictions and it works yay!
this time i am making a shared window for both monitors so user can move mouse between them , after a lot of trail and err , in main.rs then in terminal and then in arch wiki finally pulled it off , safe position is 1290x0 for m2 and m1 will be 0x0 but its for 1.5x scaling not 1x or diff , oh now i need to make it diff for scaling’s too ahh god it sucks
ok so made a new formula for the workspace logic , its easy res(len)*scale^(-1) + c and here frm my tests i got c=10 for 1080p monitors. It works flawlessly in my setup but i still havent tested it on diff moniters so cant say its universal .okk added shr.rs and the logic is clean af . js do basic math easy , i made c configureable with a integer pass , pass the val of c and youre good , to go but i still havent decided vals for c for other setups , lets them try lol .bruh i added use fn branch after command and wondering , why i am getting unknown command “use” lol.wow got an error thread 'main' (15889) panicked at src/ls.rs:32:10:cant parse monitor data: Error("missing field `available`", line: 45, column: 1)note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace[erox@archbtw distroller]$ ok pretty good , there was a prob with the avalible in the struct in ls but i js used serde def haha always false if no val , i have hyprctl monitors all -j so nothing to worry anyways it works now
ok so i saw when i use the share , it scales the monitors differently so we need to pass both , dont change scale and then do it , and if scale changed then revert the scale , i use arch btw , i am pro .ok use works flawlessly now , anyways found a bug , i cant use 100hz on my hdmi monitor tht supports 100hz i have no fking idea why but i cant so needa fix tht . wow i am such a idiot , changed the vec in ls then thought shld push so reverted then changed in io and now suffering lol anyways gotta fix tht bruh wtf i am getting prob on refreshrate , tht right but i named a full struct wrong and hyprctl doesnt parse tht correctly so i am getting no sup on 100hz lol , do i even have more than 1 braincel? ok after rechaingin my vec to string to vec to string to vec i finally got it to work lol . kk removed the training wheels , i mean println for helping me done

OHH DONE , i made the PKGBUild and it WORKS , now i can publish it to aur too , i js need a readme now hell yeah
wow what a idiot i aam , forgot to add the use in helps lol , fixed tht anyways , now i will publish it to aur and gonna write a readme ahh i cant push to aur , its denying my public key anyways i think i will make the video first before pushing on aur ok done all things , now js readme and then done , see the demo vid and we are ready to ship :“ https://youtu.be/UKzd1IbrFVo ”
wrote the readme and the PKGBUILD , did a lot of tries , but still wasnt able to put the video in readme so gonna use the yt link

Distroller is a rust based hyprland exclusive cli tool , it manages displays in a normal hyprland setup , check out my repo for more info abt the commands , also there is a demo video , showing how distroller works on my pc(dual moniter one internal laptop one and 2nd is hdmi 100hz 1080p) , heres the link : “ https://youtu.be/UKzd1IbrFVo ” see the installation steps mentioned in readme to install it in your arch...

only one chapter left! I recently switched to kate and its really much lighter than VScode
I FINISHED FINALLYYY its been a long time but i finally finished! it was really fun. You can see the github here
I commented my code so much The reason is that it helps me understand what im doing when learning a new language!
Removed AI on browser so when i search something i will often get a result by AI, it might be useful but not while learning!
Last things before finishing The program is working perfectly, now some final touches (README, compilling, fixing bugs, …)

I created the basic app here but it just shows a colour right now. I was following a tutorial on basic rust because I’m still learning it.
Added the initial browser engine foundataion. I added basic support for http protocol and implemented http request encoding.
I added response decoding and support for http0.9 1.0 and 1.1. These guides: browser.engineering , firefox guides and servo were amazing resources for learning how HTTP works and with encoding/decoding requests and responses. I mostly just followed along with how firefox worked and built my way away from it but the code formatting went a bit off in the middle (it was 4:30am I have an exam in 4 hours I was tired) Next I want to print everything in the UI instead of terminal
I added text rendering to the wgpu window so it displays the HTTP status code instead of just printing it to the console. The window now shows “Status: 200” (or whatever the server returns)
Added Protocol::connect_tls() method using rustls::StreamOwned<rustls::ClientConnection, TcpStream>. Created AllowAnyVerifier implementing rustls::client::danger::ServerCertVerifier to accept any certificate AddedClient::connect_tls() that loads ca-certificates.crt if present otherwise falls back to system certs TLS now works for HTTP1_1 and HTTP2_0 protocols New DNSCache struct with Arc<Mutex<HashMap<String, DNSCacheEntry»> thread-safe, TTL-based DNSCacheEntry stores resolved SocketAddr list + expiry timestamp resolve_dns() now uses trust_dns_resolver::Resolver::from_system_conf() for proper DNS lookups, with fallback to ToSocketAddrs parse_url() extracts the host, port, and TLS flag from http:// or https:// URLs Handles explicit ports (example.com:8080) and defaults (80/443) connect_to() now calls resolve_and_connect() which uses DNS cache + TLS decision logic Client now tracks redirect_count send_request() detects 3xx status codes, reads location header, and follows redirects HTMLTag -enum of all standard HTML5 tags HTMLAttribute -name/value pairs HTMLNode - tag + attributes + children + optional text content HTMLDocument -doctype + root node HTMLTag::from_string() - case-insensitive parser for all tags
I can guarantee you I am not dead even though its been like 3 months. I build about the entire css engine. I can now display the web page’s html onto the app. In the app you can’t scroll down as I still need to implement that but this is progress. A lot of the functionality is there in my code but it is unused since I need to do a whole lot more work on it but this devlog is already 8 hours and I don’t want to go over 10 so I’m making a devlog here. tokenise.rs is a css level 3 tokeniser and is pretty much the architecture. units.rs is just simple unit and angle conversion. colour.rs is just colour parsing. colours.rs is mostly just the colour-name hex table. selectors.rs is the full selector parser. parser.rs is the component valuesa dn declarations into a Stylesheet model. cascade.rs matches an element against a stylesheet and sorts it by specificity/order. box_model.rs and layout.rs just set the layout of the app’s edges/borders/padding/margin and a block-layout pass decoupled from font types that dont exist in the app natively. I would write a lot more and style the devlog better but this new stardance thing with the animations everywhere make it almost impossible to type properly and I’m on a gaming laptop
First in the UI and Rendering architecture I added a 2010 style chrome colour palette. I also implemented new vertex, rect and ui structs with layout_ui() to calculate and position the tab strip, address bat, navi buttons and the content viewport. I also made a new WGSL shader pipeline and vertex buffer for rendering flat colour rectangles. I then added normalise_url(), fetch_page(), navigate(), go_history() and reload().

My current limitations are rendering since the pages only display as plain text so no images, hyperlinks, styling or CSS in general. There is also network bliocking where page fetching is synchronus and blocks the UI window while loading.
This is a short change, initially I was working on making working CSS styling however I don’t have the time for it so all I did was create a release workflow (which took longer than expected) and I made a README going through all the features and limitations as well as a rundown of the app. I have made 3 executables.

Search uses an embedder + reranker for quick lookup. Search takes around 0.5s per message, but I’ll optimize it before the next devlog.

I’m hoping to get the frontend into a usable form asap so I can start working on other features and the custom harness.
Devlog 2 The frontend is finally in a usable state, which means I can finally start working on the backend. I intentionally kept the frontend simple no special features yet. I have plenty of ideas for special features and improvements, but my first priority is getting the application into a polished, presentable state. Once that’s done, I’ll start experimenting with those ideas. Now, let’s talk about the backend. What do I actually want? I’ll probably use basic Python with SQLite. There’s no need for a separate database for this project. The backend will include simple JWT authentication, response streaming, model selection, and some basic rate limiting. Once everything is working reliably, I’ll start thinking about building a custom harness or maybe even experimenting with some multi-agent workflows. But first, I don’t want to get sidetracked, I want to finish the base application.
Devlog 3 After a week I’m finally back home and continuing my work on this project. I noticed I’ve already gone 9 hours without a devlog, but I don’t have much to talk about yet. Well, I started working on the backend — it’s taking quite slow because I’m giving it the proper time to ensure its security and ease of implementation for the frontend. I guess I’ll just list the stuff I have implemented or am working on implementing: JWT Authentication (finished) Conversation Branching (finished) AI Harness (mostly finished) DB implementation (mostly implemented) Rate limiting (not yet) API User focused / Authentication (finished) Inference / AI (not started yet) Still got some work to do, but the backend is getting close to finished. The last step will be frontend API implementation, and the project will be ready for demo deployment. I’ll probably launch the public demo without the need to create an account, with free inference on DeepSeek v4 Flash. I’ll use the OpenCode Zen API for that because they offer free DeepSeek v4 Flash inference. I hate the person who tought is good idea to block publishing copied messages i didn’t use AI to write it but i wrote it in my code editor and now i have to rewrite this entire message cause stardance thinks i AI generated this.
Devlog 4 Holy moly, it’s again another 9 hours. Thankfully, I finally have something to talk about in this devlog. I’m getting really close to publishing the demo page. I have a mostly working frontend, and the backend has just a few bugs I need to handle. I’m still missing rate limiting and model verification on the backend. For now, the harness has just one websearch tool. in the future, I want to add much more and make it a full harness, but for the first release I hope this is enough. One last feature I want to implement on the frontend is displaying the harness state, so instead of showing the user a simple loader, they will see what’s currently happening in the harness — what the agent is reasoning about, and so on. So the plan for now is: Complete frontend integration Fix backend bugs Display harness state on frontend Release public demo page with rate limiting Improve harness Ship first release
Devlog 5 After some time, I’m back with new features and improvements. I finally added a Reasoning/Websearch indicator so users can see what the AI is currently doing. This gives users a sense that something is happening, which makes the entire process feel faster. I’ve also removed the search button from the sidebar since I’m not going to work on it anytime soon. I’ll probably implement it for the second release, but not right now. If everything goes correctly, today I hope to release a demo with DeepSeek V4 Flash as a free model. All I need to do before releasing the demo is: Finish demo sign-in Fix a few frontend bugs Add rate limiting to the backend Deploy on my server After releasing the demo, I’ll have a really basic AI chat interface: you send a message, the AI responds. It has one tool, websearch . That’s why after releasing the demo, I want to focus on the harness and make it actually good. I’m definitely going to do a SearXNG implementation for the websearch tool (currently it uses the Tavily API) and implement a custom page loader/parser and some basic RAG. I haven’t used RAG for a long time, so I’m going to have to do some research on it. I definitely want to add more tools later on, but I’ll keep that for future devlogs.
Devlog 6 The demo is finally out on slop.racek.xyz. The demo won’t have all the features of the full dev build, because my server isn’t able to run proper embedding and reranking models. That’s why the demo relies on the Tavily API for web searches, it’s nearly identical. The harness is finally starting to come together. I implemented just two tools: websearch and webfetch . This took me so long because I wasn’t only adding those tools, but also benchmarking different embedding and reranking models, so I can be sure I’m not losing performance for no reason. The websearch tool is definitely going to go through more improvements, but for now this is the version I’m okay with and the AI also seems to like it (yes I asked it)
devlog 7 In this version I finally added full MCP support. Websearch also got a few improvements, plus the full Lightpanda browser through MCP integration. Backend has improved stability. I have started on the mobile interface, although it’s not yet ready. I’ve also started working on the config system, for now most of it is in .env, but soon I’m gonna replace it with a proper .yaml file.
Devlog 8 This version is mostly Quality of Life improvements and stability, but it really improves a lot. This update brings: Backend Working config.json file for basic model configuration Not crashing every second prompt webfetch/websearch somewhat faster and not crashing anymore Better security Improved SearXNG default configuration Frontend Mobile interface — the webpage finally works on phones Regeneration — now, even when the backend throws an error, the frontend gives you the option to retry the request Reasoning popup — you can now see what the model is actually thinking about WIP File attachments — frontend part finished, not wired into the backend I’m probably going to stop working on new features and rather start finishing this project up, so probably another QoL update will be next, alongside one last large feature I need to do: proper demo account creation, ’cause right now demo mode is just one large shared account. I know, pretty bad.
Devlog 9 Yupiiii another version focused on stability and it is looking stable Generation is now separated from Request so even when connection dies frontend can reconnect without user noticing Full File Uploading support for basic text and image formats websearch, webfetch functions are stable enough to be considered usable websearch has gained massive speed improvements although it will improve even further in the future Frontend Polish, fixes and stuff ( the boring stuff that actually makes this app usable ) here is picture of slopper saying hello although it didn’t really understood what devlog means:
Ups, looks like I overshot the 10 hours again and Stardance is forcing me to make another devlog. I guess it’s time for DEVLOG 10 You don’t have to stare into a white screen anymore thanks to my genius invention dark mode (I know it still looks terrible, I’m not a designer) configuration was migrated to a config.yaml file with more configuration options websearch got improved (I know I’m saying this every devlog and I’m probably gonna keep saying it even in the following ones) sidebar has an option to pin/unpin chat Discord OAuth is implemented and it’s used even on the demo deployment https://slop.racek.xyz more stable generation
Devlog 11 Today I’ve been cooking hard. Currently I’m working on the memory engine for SlopUI. The architecture is quite simple: A cheap extractor analyzes all conversations, extracts context, and suggests memories. All context gets passed to a smarter filter that has tools to directly manage the entire memory system: add, edit, remove, and list memories. All saved memories get embedded and saved into the DB. Search uses an embedder + reranker for quick lookup. Search takes around 0.5s per message, but I’ll optimize it before the next devlog. I’ve also improved the mobile version of SlopUI and added PWA support so you can install it similarly to a normal app. The memory engine is still in development, and I have a few experimental ideas in mind that might make the memory crazy good. But first I need to finish it.
devlog 12 Memory engine finished and deployed Few of AI assisted bug fixes README.md + docs/ + License Pre ship fixes and stuff
Ships:
I made SlopUI, a local and private AI assistant interface featuring Slopper as your assistant. Just a few features to flag: memory, MCPs, a mobile page, and much more. The best part of this project is probably the local web search and memory engine, since they required me to benchmark multiple solutions and system prompts and iterate on result quality. The most challenging part was building the frontend. I am not a designer, so I had some trouble with the design, but I managed to get a design I am happy with. Mostly in dark mode, the light mode is not so great....

Smoosh physics
Created sprite, added music (rn its just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIkkW55bu_k ) and will add sprite to game later (im bad at drawing if you were wondering why it took so long )
Alr SO i added my sprites for the player (still need to fix the issue with it still being a ball in the beginning). I have also added a loading screen, and added torque for fun spinning :D (next thing to do is probably make custom sprites for ground background that stuff, make all the sprites look better 😭 + fix starting scale)
Added a tutorial and a dialogue box (the person is just my pfp for now, but will change later) also created dialogue triggers + animated text.

Copyright issues Unfortunately the song I chose is copyrighted (figured that out a while ago just didn’t want to address the issue until now) so i might have to make my own music for the game.

Welcome BACK to Smooshed! This is a platformer (and my first game) using Unity! BEST PLAYED IN FULLSCREEN (use the unity fullscreen) How to Play: Movement: Arrow Keys or WASD (with either w, up arrow, or the space bar to jump) T to revert to the last checkpoint R to revert smoosh state C to dash P to pause What is it: You play as a ball (but a cool ball trust me) and are navigating through a dark, winter landscape to reach the end (the goal). However, you are graced with one power, and one power only: The Power to Be Smooshed 😭. Essentially, by getting hit into a wall by moving platforms, you can become either shorter or taller, letting you fit into gaps or inaccessible areas.

Well you’re looking at a Minecraft mod, about an infection that has is pretty big and aimed primarily for multiplayer servers, as playing this in singleplayer just does not make sense. Features These are the main and biggest features, see the README file for them all! Blood moons - after you “awake” the world, these can take place at random nights, with a growing chance each night without one Energy system - all healthy players have their own “energy” bar, which can be re-filled by sleeping. In addition to this, you can sleep anytime now, with the catch being that during day your energy will refill at only half the normal rate Full incubation + infection states - during the incubation, each day that goes by, the worse your symptoms will get. Once you pass the incubation state you’ll reach the fully infected state. During which, many, MANY changes take place, from you burning in the sun, all hostile mobs no longer targeting you to getting stronger with any blood moon! What was difficult/challenging Two things really. 1) Planning out all of the features and things to add to keep them balanced . It was pretty messy, to a point I had to write down a pretty detailed document just for me. And 2) Modeling the mosquito . As silly as this sounds, it was my first time EVER opening blockbench, so making an entire mosquito was no joke. I am pretty happy with the result of the mosquito, as well as the entire project.

The first test ability for the infected side, by hitting an enemy with this, it will become targeted by all mobs within range, even passive ones! The strong punch . By holding for about 3s on a mob you will deal triple normal damage. This is also for the infected side, but this time it’s locked behind a different branch. Wrote the README . Somehow I’ve dodging this up until now, so I’ve written a fairly detailed README file. Published the project to CurseForge .

Devlog #9 for Apolinum arise! So I’ve decided to add the energy mechanic , which means that now, alongside dealing with hunger, you also have to be worried about being rested well . If you do not sleep, you will fall asleep wherever you’re at. To make it a bit easier to deal with, you can now rest at anytime on your bed, even if others won’t go to sleep, it does not matter, you will just lay there and still regain energy by doing so. If others do decide to join in, then it is only better for you; by skipping a night you regain the full amount of energy you would’ve gotten if you rested all of the time. Also note that resting during the day is only half as effecient as if you were resting at night . On a full bar you can survive for three days before running out of energy. Huge thx to @FishyDrawer for helping out with the energy bars texture , as I just wasn’t capable of figuring out any sort of design for it. I also added the the base for skill trees , which can be accessed by either getting infected and getting that side of the skills, or after three players have been infected and you use the “Forbidden Tome” to access the skills.

Added the downed state and revive possibility! Devlog #7 I added the downed state, which is entered whenever you would normally die. When you are in this state you can not: move, interact with the world, or access the inventory . There are 3 unique poses, chosen at random, so it doesn’t look all that generic. Over the period of the next 60s since you’ve been downed your screen will turn more and more red, until it matches the vanilla red overlay when you normally die. The moment it reaches that color is also the moment, when you die. When you are healthy (thus not infected yet) any other healthy player can revive you by simply holding G for a few seconds while you’re downed. If a non-healthy player finds you though… you not might be as lucky with this one to say the least, but more on that another time! Seeing this project for the first time? I am making a pretty big minecraft mod that adds an infection , blood moons and so much more! It is mainly aimed for servers, as playing an infection mod alone doesn’t make much sense.

Majority of what I just wrote here is yet to be added, so if you are just a tiny bit curious be sure to keep an eye on this project :)
Added the the ability to “bite” downed players, thus allowing for the infection to begin its spread Devlog #8 This time around I added a new “bite” bar , which for now fills up by staying somewhere dark and once is full you can bite downed players . This plays a new sfx and has a 20% chance of infecting that player . The bite bar contains three textures in total, which is for the bar frame, the progress and the finished frame, displayed upon reaching 100%. I also changed some inconsistencies from last time, such as being able to see an indicator for when you can revive a player. Seeing this project for the first time?

Added the sleep/energy bar and added the base for skills! Devlog #9 for Apolinum arise! So I’ve decided to add the energy mechanic , which means that now, alongside dealing with hunger, you also have to be worried about being rested well . If you do not sleep, you will fall asleep wherever you’re at. To make it a bit easier to deal with, you can now rest at anytime on your bed, even if others won’t go to sleep, it does not matter, you will just lay there and still regain energy by doing so. If others do decide to join in, then it is only better for you; by skipping a night you regain the full amount of energy you would’ve gotten if you rested all of the time. Also note that resting during the day is only half as effecient as if you were resting at night . On a full bar you can survive for three days before running out of energy. Huge thx to @FishyDrawer for helping out with the energy bars texture , as I just wasn’t capable of figuring out any sort of design for it. I also added the the base for skill trees , which can be accessed by either getting infected and getting that side of the skills, or after three players have been infected and you use the “Forbidden Tome” to access the skills. And that is about it for this time, if you find this interesting be sure to follow! Seeing this project for the first time?

Added two test skills + ship preparations! Devlog #10 for Apolinum Arise Since last time it’s been a pretty long time and with stardance slowly nearing its end I’ve decided to wrap this project up. Here’s what’s new : The hive-mind wand . The first test ability for the infected side, by hitting an enemy with this, it will become targeted by all mobs within range, even passive ones! The strong punch . By holding for about 3s on a mob you will deal triple normal damage. This is also for the infected side, but this time it’s locked behind a different branch. Wrote the README . Somehow I’ve dodging this up until now, so I’ve written a fairly detailed README file. Published the project to CurseForge . This was a complaint I got last time I’ve published a mod as a project, so here it is shipwrights! Outside this I think it’s all for this post, so once the project gets approved on CurseForge I’ll ship this.
Ships:
What am I looking at? Well you’re looking at a Minecraft mod, about an infection that has is pretty big and aimed primarily for multiplayer servers, as playing this in singleplayer just does not make sense. Features These are the main and biggest features, see the README file for them all! Blood moons - after you “awake” the world, these can take place at random nights, with a growing chance each night without one Energy system - all healthy players have their own “energy” bar, which can be re-filled by sleeping. In addition to this, you can sleep anytime now, with the catch being that during day your energy will refill at only half the normal rate Full incubation + infection states - during the incubation, each day that goes by, the worse your symptoms will get. Once you pass the incubation state you’ll reach the fully infected state. During which, many, MANY changes take place, from you burning in the sun, all hostile mobs no longer targeting you to getting stronger with any blood moon! What was difficult/challenging Two things really. 1) Planning out all of the features and things to add to keep them balanced . It was pretty messy, to a point I had to write down a pretty detailed document just for me. And 2) Modeling the mosquito . As silly as this sounds, it was my first time EVER opening blockbench, so making an entire mosquito was no joke. I am pretty happy with the result of the mosquito, as well as the entire project. Testing/trying out You can download the mod file from CurseForge using the “Try project” button and installing the dependencies I’ve listed with the file....

This is a gravity simulator written in C++. Right now, it only simulates the solar system, but I am planning on adding more to it in later ships. For detailed instructions on how to use it, see the README, but as a TLDR: when your mouse disappears, use the WASD , Shift , and Space keys to move around. To show your cursor, press Esc . Click anywhere to hide it again. Click on a planet’s outline to select it. When it’s selected, you can press V to change its velocity, then you can press X , Y , or Z to lock to the axis, and click with your mouse to confirm. You can also edit its properties in a window. To unselect it, press the × button in the top center Challenges I finished IB SL Physics with a level 7 (highest one possible), so I naively thought all the physics calculations would be easy enough that I could solve them completely alone. Tbh, it was at first, with the actual gravity part just being the F = Gmm/r^2 equation over and over again. However, with my other features like the spacetime curvature grid, and especially the “Orbit eachother” button, those features required things from university level physics and were complicated. So for these specific physics features, I ended up defaulting to AI to write them. Additionally, figuring out 3D graphics was a challenge and for this, AI and the internet were very useful in figuring those out. I am also glad I used Raylib to code this, since it makes 3D graphics much easier than it normally is. Roadmap for future ships I will consider adding the following in future ships: Black Holes Make the planets rotate Presets other than the solar system Optimize the gravity simulation, right now it lags at around 40 objects Add a bunch of the planets’ moons Add collision detection, so you can smash an asteroid at a planet and see what happens Simulate atmosphere of a planet?

So in these 5.75 hours, I rewrote my github readme from scratch by hand. I also rewrote a bunch of my code so that it is by hand as well. ㅤ I’d like to specifically talk about the Spherical struct, since I feel it was most interesting. I previously vibe coded it because the math behind it (3D trigonometry) looked too scary. I tried rewriting it from scratch, and actually turns out it’s not too difficult.

First I’ll explain why I took a break and then go over what I did in these 3.5 hours. Why I was gone for 2 weeks Basically, I was previously trying to force out 3.5 hours a day to get the FW13 laptop, along with trying to finish this online course so I can get my driver’s license (spending 2 hours a day on that). On top of that I had tuition classes so I can get ahead for next year’s chemistry and math curriculum (probably ~2 hours a day on that). This makes for 8 hours a day of scheduled work. Oh yeah and I wanted to do all of this while still maintaining my health (like going out for a walk everyday and things). ㅤ Obviously, this is a lot of time to commit, but I went ahead with it, thinking of it as a way for me to learn better time management, so that grade 12 will be easy for me. ㅤ However, it turned out to not go the way I thought it would in my mind. You see, no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t get all three of my priorities met. It’s not like a 9-5 job, where you really just have to stay at the office for that timeframe, but then only like 3-4 hours of that is actual focused work. This plan was demanding a full on 8 hours of high focus everyday, which is probably just not possible, without sacrificing too much in my opinion. ㅤ I also realized this was getting in the way my driver’s license and prepping for grade 12, which were probably more important. ㅤ Don’t get me wrong, Stardance is pretty cool and important, but the other 2 things are more important, I think. ㅤ The breaking point came when I finally did reach two of my priorities for 2 days (Stardance and driver’s course). But, it was a very grueling 2 days, and it wasn’t even including anything from tuition. I quickly realized that this was going need a lot more sacrifices than I bargained for. ㅤ So yeah, I took a break. I finished the online course, now I have to do in-car lessons, but the bottleneck for that is now the driving instructor’s availability, now mine. I also tried catching up to the tuition hw (yeah tbh, that didn’t go too well). And I still didn’t touch any of my projects for a bit after that because I was genuinely burnt out. ㅤ But now I’m back! I’m not fully quitting Stardance at all, but now I will work at a slower pace than before. A pace that feels natural to me, rather than forced. Honestly, it might turn out to be the same amount of time as before, just because a bunch of my time has been freed up by finished that driver’s course. But whatever happens, I will finish all of my projects in a way that isn’t so taxing to me mentally and physically. What I actually did in this devlog So for this devlog, I made it so you can edit the velocity using polar coordinates (basically change it via longitude/latitude), as an alternative to x/y/z. ㅤ I initially tried to do this myself by stitching together some math formulas from Reddit, but it didn’t work because I didn’t understand the physics behind them. ㅤ This stuff goes under a field called spherical trigonometry, which is something they don’t usually teach until university math, so I definitely didn’t learn it in grade 11. ㅤ Eventually I gave up and just used Claude to implement the rougher details. However, I have decided to learn a bit of this stuff myself, since it seems like just high school trig but in 3d. Also, because why not!"}, {"post_id": 48408, "ts": "2026-08-16T18:57:36Z", "hours": 6.3819, "text": "Now you can change the velocity and lock it to a specific axis!! Also I upgraded to C++23 from C++20. ㅤ Yeah that feature was a real nightmare to implement, with loads of bugs. That stupid float vs double thing came back to bite me again!!!! I swear bro these things annoy me a lot. How do I do this? I also initially had like no idea how this feature should be implemented, I was sitting there thinking and trying code out for a long time. I eventually decided to change the way velocities are changed entirely, now instead of just clicking and dragging, you press V on the keyboard and click with the mouse to confirm. ㅤ Even after that I had a dilemma about how exactly this axis locking feature should be implemented. I was initially going to cast a ray from the mouse and figure out where it is closest to the axis, however it turns out that is math that goes outside of high school altogether, so I had to scrap that. ㅤ Then I decided to open up Blender and see how it does it’s axis locking when you drag 3D objects around. From Blender I got inspiration for how it works in my program. ㅤ So now once you are editing the velocity, you can press X , Y , or Z to change the velocity going in those respective axes if you want. I also figured a much simpler way than that first method I thought of because of the testing with Blender. AI disclaimer Obviously there had to be some bugs with my code. After having spent a bunch of time struggling through writing the code only to reach some weird bugs, I gave up and did turn to AI. ㅤ I carefully supervised it while it tried to fix my code (I do NOT believe in vibe-coding) and it was actually able to fix it alright. I made a suggestion to edit the code to be cleaner and it listened. The ultimate plot twist I then asked it to add that sky-blue line thing. Now here’s the ultimate plot twist, so you know that float vs double precision error that keeps coming back to me? Well in every previous devlog where it happened, it was Claude who pointed out the issue. Well guess what? This time it was me who found it!

This took waaay too long (like 2 hours) since I was spending so much time figuring out how to scale specifically those icons, and nothing else and when I did figure it out, they were all of a sudden misaligned, towards the top left compared to regular text, so I had to realign them to be proper.

There are some space things which I want icons for, but aren’t available in Nerd Fonts.

Along with that, I also wrote a bunch of helper functions to make it even easier to write new UI components.

This was difficult because raylib is a bit too high level for how it handles these GPU textures and models. ㅤ Now I will add an edit panel to make the new object changeable.
HEEELP!!!! I added a panel to edit the properties of objects, so I decided to add a bunch of mass to Mercury for fun, now the Sun is orbiting Mercury! This is so trippy especially how much it warped spacetime.
So I made it very easy to change the velocity of objects, you can just drag from the cone anywhere now! ㅤ Surprisingly, the hardest part about this was just getting the arrow to draw and also tuning how big it is so that it looks good, but once it was there, it was actually pretty easy to just hook up a click detection. ㅤ Funnily, this 3D library I’m using (Raylib if you’re curious) doesn’t have a builtin “DrawCone()” function. It turns out that to draw a cone, you are supposed to use the DrawCylinder() function and set one of the radiuses to 0! That was really weird to find out.
So I decided to spend a lot of time refining the velocity changing with the mouse. Also did a smaller refactor to make the code look cleaner. ㅤ The main issue I had previously was that it was jittery when the object was far from coordinates (0, 0, 0). It turns out it was another stupid float vs double precision problem in C++. Yes, very similar to what I faced earlier in this project. ㅤ I will admit that I did use AI to find these bugs and fix them, but I was supervising it very closely and testing it thoroughly. I am also starting to see the limits of AI. Claude now decided to flag a bug which didn’t exist, and when I asked it to refactor, it made the code look worse ironically. I ended up having to do that part myself. ㅤ However, AI was still more of a help than a hindrance, so I will still use it throughout this project. If you are curious, the git commits have more detail about these and they are here .
Huzzah! I added a skybox (basically the background image). I will admit that this part was basically AI’d, but it was really hard to do it by myself, since it would have required learning GLSL myself, which I didn’t want to do.
You might be thinking: “So there’s 8 hours in this devlog, surely there are some major visual changes, right?” Well unfortunately no. I meant to post a smaller devlog the day before yesterday, but I forgot about it yesterday. Now here I am cleaning up that mess. I basically did just the following 3 things: ㅤ Added Nerd Font icons to the UI. This took waaay too long (like 2 hours) since I was spending so much time figuring out how to scale specifically those icons, and nothing else and when I did figure it out, they were all of a sudden misaligned, towards the top left compared to regular text, so I had to realign them to be proper. After all of that, it seems like I might need to make my own font icons, since Nerd Font is mainly designed to be put in a coding IDE, not a random app like this. There are some space things which I want icons for, but aren’t available in Nerd Fonts. Oh well, that’s a problem for future me. ㅤ Now here’s the real timesink that made this devlog 8 hours: so I went on a long sidequest to basically implement CSS position property in this C++ UI library. This was mainly so that it would be way easier to position new UI elements. The next devlog will most likely be about adding new settings UI. Along with that, I also wrote a bunch of helper functions to make it even easier to write new UI components. So basically, the UI got a full refactor. ㅤ And finally, using that UI refactor from above, I added a playback controller at the bottom and moved the object selector to the top. Yes, it is an embarrassingly small amount of user facing changes coming out of this 8 hour devlog, but at least my UI code is easier to maintain!
Here’s what I did yesterday: Added a settings editor Added tooltips everywhere Added an intuitive button to deselect the current object
In these 4 hours, I have made the overall experience of switching between objects better by doing these things: Made the camera turn with constant angular speed. Previously, it would sort turn instantly if it needed to make a 180, and then freeze. The camera position is now smoothed out with an easing function instead of linearly moving it Made the grid in the background not jitter when viewing a single planet Set up debugging to work ㅤ The reason this took this long was because for some reason, I was previously using the frame count and a decimal calculated framerate to time out the animations. ㅤ Obviously, mixing decimal numbers with whole numbers wasn’t going to work well, so I had some really weird bugs that sometimes happened and sometimes didn’t. This was literally the motivation for me to setup the debugger! ㅤ Initially I tried to work with the system as it was, but it became tedious fairly quickly, with a lot of if statements, etc. So, I swapped to just using the system time, and it literally just fixed itself almost instantly! That and the code for it ended up being simpler than before! ㅤ The only thing I don’t really like is the grid, and how it kind of jitters, although that will a future problem to solve.
So I added an easy button to make celestial objects orbit another object. To demonstrate this, I recorded a video of me adding 2 moons to Jupiter! I also added a reverse velocity button which is self-explanatory, I didn’t include it in the video because I forgot. I also made it easier to add objects in a previous devlog, but I forgot to include it there.
Here’s what I’ve done: Made it possible to move the flat grid up and down Implemented custom camera controls so that I can better control the experience. This was very difficult at first… until I realized I could just copy paste the code from the library I’m using and just edit that instead 🤦. With this new camera system, I added a feature where you can hold shift and it will slow down for you. More internal refactoring!!! If you’ve been reading my devlogs, you’ll realize that this is like the 5th time or something that I did internal refactoring. To explain, this is my flagship project, as in I’m trying to reach like ~150 hours on this project so that I can get the Framework 13, so I want to take it slowly, so that I can be sure that I can build the features I want to build in an enjoyable manner. This is why I do these things occasionally.
So now you can add objects and change velocities going up and down in the y-axis using up/down arrow keys!! It also shows the flat grid temporarily for these. ㅤ The only thing is that I will probably change how the velocity y-value thing works, because I don’t like it. It’s ironic because that was the thing that took the most amount of time as well.
Now you can change the velocity and lock it to a specific axis!! Also I upgraded to C++23 from C++20. ㅤ Yeah that feature was a real nightmare to implement, with loads of bugs. That stupid float vs double thing came back to bite me again!!!! I swear bro these things annoy me a lot. How do I do this? I also initially had like no idea how this feature should be implemented, I was sitting there thinking and trying code out for a long time. I eventually decided to change the way velocities are changed entirely, now instead of just clicking and dragging, you press V on the keyboard and click with the mouse to confirm. ㅤ Even after that I had a dilemma about how exactly this axis locking feature should be implemented. I was initially going to cast a ray from the mouse and figure out where it is closest to the axis, however it turns out that is math that goes outside of high school altogether, so I had to scrap that. ㅤ Then I decided to open up Blender and see how it does it’s axis locking when you drag 3D objects around. From Blender I got inspiration for how it works in my program. ㅤ So now once you are editing the velocity, you can press X , Y , or Z to change the velocity going in those respective axes if you want. I also figured a much simpler way than that first method I thought of because of the testing with Blender. AI disclaimer Obviously there had to be some bugs with my code. After having spent a bunch of time struggling through writing the code only to reach some weird bugs, I gave up and did turn to AI. ㅤ I carefully supervised it while it tried to fix my code (I do NOT believe in vibe-coding) and it was actually able to fix it alright. I made a suggestion to edit the code to be cleaner and it listened. The ultimate plot twist I then asked it to add that sky-blue line thing. Now here’s the ultimate plot twist, so you know that float vs double precision error that keeps coming back to me? Well in every previous devlog where it happened, it was Claude who pointed out the issue. Well guess what? This time it was me who found it! The issue was with that line and how it was drawn on screen. ㅤ So yeah. That took a very long time, but it was worth it.
I’m back after 2 weeks!!! First I’ll explain why I took a break and then go over what I did in these 3.5 hours. Why I was gone for 2 weeks Basically, I was previously trying to force out 3.5 hours a day to get the FW13 laptop, along with trying to finish this online course so I can get my driver’s license (spending 2 hours a day on that). On top of that I had tuition classes so I can get ahead for next year’s chemistry and math curriculum (probably ~2 hours a day on that). This makes for 8 hours a day of scheduled work. Oh yeah and I wanted to do all of this while still maintaining my health (like going out for a walk everyday and things). ㅤ Obviously, this is a lot of time to commit, but I went ahead with it, thinking of it as a way for me to learn better time management, so that grade 12 will be easy for me. ㅤ However, it turned out to not go the way I thought it would in my mind. You see, no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t get all three of my priorities met. It’s not like a 9-5 job, where you really just have to stay at the office for that timeframe, but then only like 3-4 hours of that is actual focused work. This plan was demanding a full on 8 hours of high focus everyday, which is probably just not possible, without sacrificing too much in my opinion. ㅤ I also realized this was getting in the way my driver’s license and prepping for grade 12, which were probably more important. ㅤ Don’t get me wrong, Stardance is pretty cool and important, but the other 2 things are more important, I think. ㅤ The breaking point came when I finally did reach two of my priorities for 2 days (Stardance and driver’s course). But, it was a very grueling 2 days, and it wasn’t even including anything from tuition. I quickly realized that this was going need a lot more sacrifices than I bargained for. ㅤ So yeah, I took a break. I finished the online course, now I have to do in-car lessons, but the bottleneck for that is now the driving instructor’s availability, now mine. I also tried catching up to the tuition hw (yeah tbh, that didn’t go too well). And I still didn’t touch any of my projects for a bit after that because I was genuinely burnt out. ㅤ But now I’m back! I’m not fully quitting Stardance at all, but now I will work at a slower pace than before. A pace that feels natural to me, rather than forced. Honestly, it might turn out to be the same amount of time as before, just because a bunch of my time has been freed up by finished that driver’s course. But whatever happens, I will finish all of my projects in a way that isn’t so taxing to me mentally and physically. What I actually did in this devlog So for this devlog, I made it so you can edit the velocity using polar coordinates (basically change it via longitude/latitude), as an alternative to x/y/z. ㅤ I initially tried to do this myself by stitching together some math formulas from Reddit, but it didn’t work because I didn’t understand the physics behind them. ㅤ This stuff goes under a field called spherical trigonometry, which is something they don’t usually teach until university math, so I definitely didn’t learn it in grade 11. ㅤ Eventually I gave up and just used Claude to implement the rougher details. However, I have decided to learn a bit of this stuff myself, since it seems like just high school trig but in 3d. Also, because why not!
What would happen if a second Sun randomly spawned in our solar system? Well clearly chaos according to my simulation. So previously, I made a button that automatically sets a velocity so that one object orbits another object, allowing you to easily make planet-moon systems. ㅤ However, what if you wanted to create gravity systems where objects are similar masses, like binary stars, or something like the Pluto-Charon system where clearly they orbit a point outside of each other? ㅤ This is what I set out to implement in this devlog, other than fixing a bug in the spacetime curvature grid where it would jitter around. ㅤ So I’m gonna be honest here, I did basically get AI to do this part for me, that’s not to say I didn’t try at all because I really did. But it turns out this stuff is way outside of high school physics and goes into orbital mechanics. ㅤ I wrote a simple solution which I thought might work, but it didn’t quite. ㅤ So I tried to watch this video to understand how to do it, but couldn’t understand what kind of vector math he was doing. So I basically gave up and got Claude to do it. ㅤ Looking at Claude’s solution, it seems kind of simple in that it’s not using crazy long equations to do things, but at the same time, I don’t think I would have been able to come up with those on my own, so ig it was a good use of AI to speed things up.
First ship is incoming very soon! In these 4 hours spread out across a whole month (I was too busy with school), I got it deployed as a website! ㅤ You can try it out at https://agokule.github.io/perihelion/ . I’m too lazy rn to upload a proper video, so if you can’t figure out how to use the app, check out my other devlogs. Lmk what you think about the app in the comments! Would this be good to ship, or are there still some things you are dying to see before that happens? How was it? Not very nice tbh. A part of me regrets choosing Raylib instead of SDL3 for this project, bc in my experience it was super easy to just port over an SDL3 project to a website. ㅤ Here it was not that easy. I ended fully refactoring the main file (like just rearranging things into different functions) just for it to work the way I wanted. ㅤ In particular the way it handles keyboard/mouse inputs on a website is soooo weird!! You have to check for them at a specific point in your code between two certain functions, which is weird!! ㅤ There were also a lot of weird niche bugs that were so annoying to find, and it turns many of them were with the way Raylib deals with the web, and I only found out because Claude ended up closely reading the source code for these fixes! ㅤ These were mostly minor nitpicks which AI helped me solve. Now, that this thing is almost done I am very glad. It’s like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
So my first ship got rejected because of 2 reasons: I generated my README with AI, which I didn’t know was not allowed They think I generated over 30% of code with AI I personally don’t think that’s the case, but ig I will have to follow it anyways. So in these 5.75 hours, I rewrote my github readme from scratch by hand. I also rewrote a bunch of my code so that it is by hand as well. ㅤ I’d like to specifically talk about the Spherical struct, since I feel it was most interesting. I previously vibe coded it because the math behind it (3D trigonometry) looked too scary. I tried rewriting it from scratch, and actually turns out it’s not too difficult. So in that case, I’m kind of glad my submission got flagged because now I learned something new! ㅤ While rewriting it, I found some weird choices in sort of architecture which the AI made. So I ended up moving things around to fix it. I also deleted the stupidly long comments that it made, like seriously they’re so long they really make the code worse for the most part. I also fixed two small bugs. So yeah, this will be the last devlog I make for sure.
Ships:
What did I make? This is a gravity simulator written in C++. Right now, it only simulates the solar system, but I am planning on adding more to it in later ships. For detailed instructions on how to use it, see the README, but as a TLDR: when your mouse disappears, use the WASD , Shift , and Space keys to move around. To show your cursor, press Esc . Click anywhere to hide it again. Click on a planet’s outline to select it. When it’s selected, you can press V to change its velocity, then you can press X , Y , or Z to lock to the axis, and click with your mouse to confirm. You can also edit its properties in a window. To unselect it, press the × button in the top center Challenges I finished IB SL Physics with a level 7 (highest one possible), so I naively thought all the physics calculations would be easy enough that I could solve them completely alone. Tbh, it was at first, with the actual gravity part just being the F = Gmm/r^2 equation over and over again. However, with my other features like the spacetime curvature grid, and especially the “Orbit eachother” button, those features required things from university level physics and were complicated. So for these specific physics features, I ended up defaulting to AI to write them. Additionally, figuring out 3D graphics was a challenge and for this, AI and the internet were very useful in figuring those out. I am also glad I used Raylib to code this, since it makes 3D graphics much easier than it normally is. Roadmap for future ships I will consider adding the following in future ships: Black Holes Make the planets rotate Presets other than the solar system Optimize the gravity simulation, right now it lags at around 40 objects Add a bunch of the planets’ moons Add collision detection, so you can smash an asteroid at a planet and see what happens Simulate atmosphere of a planet? There’s probably a lot more that I could add as well, feel free to suggest some features when you vote for this project!...

As a Jujutsu Kaisen fan and an admirer of flying pets, I wanted to make Kogane for my room. The objective of Kogane is to be a person-following flying pet assistant that can communicate with voice and through a retractable screen, sort of like a flying Alexa but friendlier! I also wanted to make drones for a while and it seemed like a cool approach to make Kogane. A use case that I had in mind is when I’m working in my room and my hands are busy and if I need to quickly pull up a tutorial, I would normally have to put things down to find my laptop. Instead with Kogane, I can call for Kogane wherever I am in my room and quickly check for information or pull up a Youtube tutorial from its screen without any physical contact. I got everything to work on a very close call, but my harnesses weren’t very strong and accidentally tangled with the propeller for a second, causing a motor to burn up and failing the first test flight (and of course, the shell for Koganeee was pretty but reduced performance aerodynamically). Nonetheless, all of the tests passed and I just need to swap out the motor, but still a successful project regardless and I’m proud of everything I was able to learn, whether it be firmware and networking with the ESP32, the endless soldering sessions for different kinds of components, taking care of batteries, etc. Check out my project and of course, contact me on Slack (sujaygolla24) for questions or just to nerd out about JJK or other anime!!! :D...

Just Started - the Home page is mostly done; more on the planning & the actual site will be coming soon
Just worked on the About Page; it was quite troublesome trying to get the layout of this just right, but it doesn’t look too bad. I’ll be focusing on the education section and hope to post the log pretty soon. Oh and I did edit the Home page a little bit
This section was quite the journey, though I did learn a lot. Looking forward to finishing the next section.
It’s been a while, but I have finally completed the portfolio and the blog sections, moving on to do the contact and the footer next and probably some other features to finish it up
Last log with opening page and plenty of functionality added, like toggle navgaition position and even theme colour

Finally getting started on the robotic part of the project. Since I don’t yet have the boards this will be pretty difficult, but I trust imma be able to ready the code up enough to make it work when I buy them.
this is gonna be so hard help
Probably will need to polish this a lot and come back to change it, but for now I’m just putting down the basic logic for the array formation waiting for the boards to arrive
Still debating if it would be worth it to put an arduino into the picture, probably not
My back hurts
I have to change basically everything i did until now. just did some talking to myself and realized i was going into the wrong direction about this.
just keeping the streak today, still waiting for the boards
YOOOO we’re so back created the code to configure the uwbs(that finally arrived) from an esp. gonna try it and we’ll see how it goes
UWB WORKING!!! im so happy. Now i need to setup the reading for the p4 and implement it for the map creating algorithm. (⊙_◎)
Joined a collab repo with @gismondi_simone (hope your pillow is warm both sides)
It can drive.
It can drive. (better) added a configuration mode before starting to drive. Since we have only two anchors avaliable, with no way to check if the remote is in front of the robot or in the back, i added a “configuration” that turns 45 degrees to check if the left measuration increases or decreases (clever i know (anything to avoid spending 30€ more)) oh and added an error for the turning code, so it doesn’t zigzag all the time
Adding buttons and display control for now it’s only theory, we don’t have the display yet, but i want to see how it can send and receive the button information without a added microcontroller. This would solve the internet connection lack problem.
Beginning adapting the old code to the new hardware finally i would also add xd for now only did the ESP code, that will manage the conveyor movement and the calculation of the fullness to send to the remote. Next I’ll probably work on the communication remote-raspberry and raspberry-esp.
ESP can now manage two different receivers I made the send function better, adding logic to change the receivers and the message in order of what is needed, now i need to work on the raspberry side logic
Added and adapted also p5 and p0 code I readded the code for the scanner boards, adding the bin’s stepper to be controlled by the p0.
I hate this save me pls
lowk don’t even wanna talk about it
Had to reflash the rpi cause of some fuckups i did
hello! it’s been a while a lot has changed since the last log, i made some new programs to integrate the dijkstra in the map creation and a motor tryout code to see how the motors work and to calibrate the data on the other codes. For now everything seems good, we’ll see once i actually try it with the robot. For now i hope i didn’t look over any VERY IMPORTANT detail that could set something on fire :D

If we are able to we’ll record the new dataset tomorrow. I forgot to take a picture of the terminal so enjoy this pic of a kitty
Back on the torturing part At least this time I don’t have to install anything for two days! :D JUST KIDDING wasted 2 days on trying to make my pc work for this bs, turns out it’s still faster on @gismondi_simone ‘s pc… but hey trial and error right Hopefully working on dataset tomorrow P.S., we solved the motor problem, turns out the driver wasn’t wired right…
Dataset compiler works! I’ve spent the last few days trying to figure out the problem of the compiler (that worked the last time i used it so i was kinda confused) and after 4 hours of debugging with a little help from gemini i’ve finally made it work. Now we just need to take the ne photos for the dataset.
Screen turns on!! @gismondi_simone yesterday broke our spare… i guess we have to work with that. There are still some problems about the data sending between base and tag, but i’ve come a long way from the start.
tutto si distrugge nulla si crea We are currently in Zagabria. I’ve not logged a LOT of hours. The remote shorts randomly with no apparent motive. we are missing the candy dataset, the uwb apparently had a fight cause they won’t talk anymore for some reason?? I am losing touch with reality
Tag is cooked Literally and figuratively. The board is shorted between 3.3v an GND, but it powers on(??), heating up in little time. SO now i have to redo half of the code due tomorrow cause we need to present the project :D kill me

Sorry i haven’t been actively posting a devlog. I’m currently working on the UI of the project as it got sent back after been reviewed. While testing the application, i found out some core issues like login in taking more time to verify and SQLAlchemy reusing closed database session pool. I’ve debugged and optimize the logging time as best as i can, although the main blocker is my server (Render) which puts the server to sleep after a while and wakes back up when a request is been sent to it which also influences the server response time but not necessarily the main cause as bcrypt password verification also takes more computational resources and database connection. For the 2nd bug fix i made sure that before any query gets through, it runs a pool_pre_ping to verify if it’s still active, else it would replace the stale database connection with a new one
Revamped the UI and restructured the app shell. The UI might not be as good as expected tho. I also edited my READMe to make it more detailed on the actual project position and what works vs what doesn’t work. I also edited the prompt been sent to the AI for the summary of the logged habit
Ships:
I just wrapped up the development of the prediction model although i’m yet to implement an auto retraining of model based on users data because i have little data to actually analyse which model would be the best which still leaves the model at the default one trained with synthetic data. Your data are been kept tho and would be trained on when the feature is active and your logs is up to the min requirement...
