Devlogs:
got a little on screen overlay with some text going!
improved the look and feel of the widget + made it movable
Added weather information to my widget, although the ip address doesn’t really work super well, it at least shows the basic information!
Added user input box and auto resizability functionality!
added ollama into the widget so you can now ask it questions :) as well as working weather and home features to make it truly functional.
New Devlog: Added intent deducing, ATLAS can open apps (which is a feature that’s a little janky but in progress) with a sentence that’s natural language! Also should be compatible with windows and mac, though my new goal is to make it more robust, it’s at least pretty decent!...

Learned how math works!
I completed a ton of projects, I learn a ton of stuff I still don’t understand what the “static” function does but I learned about switches and made a ton of stuff including this bank program...

added two more commands that will get a random color and a random cat image, maybe if artists want to draw a cat with random colors this will be useful 😂 - gonna try it all soon hopefully it works 🤞
turns out all of my commands had errors so I have to work them out one by one, i did the random art command, I had to find out how to use the query thing to look for paintings specifically - js is weird 😂
Its finally done, the commands that I wanted to do anyway, I don’t like js I hope I don’t have to use it in the future, now I can start projects I know Ill enjoy 😭...
