Devlog #001

Today I started a pretty big project. I really like math, and I thought this could be the perfect way to combine it with Python.

I started by learning how neural networks work and then moved on to the math behind them. I didn’t just want to memorize the formulas, I wanted to actually understand them, because without understanding the theory, implementing them in code becomes much harder (if not impossible).

The hardest part was, by far, understanding how to implement backpropagation and how all the mathematical concepts connect together.

To finish today’s coding session, I created a small demo to test if I had actually understood everything. I decided to build a simple neural network that predicts the XOR gate (a problem that cannot be solved using a linear function).

For this model, I used Xavier initialization, the hyperbolic tangent (tanh) activation function for the hidden layer, a sigmoid activation function for the output layer, and Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) as the loss function.

In the next devlog, I will learn how to load and start processing the MNIST dataset.

Thank you for reading!

Devlog #002

Finished the website!!!
In the end it wasn’t that hard… I could have ended it yesterday but wanted to take some time off.

Today i wrote all the text, hosted the website, fixed some typo’s.

Thanks for reading this!!

Devlog #1

Hey guys, new day, new project.

Today I started working on my own personal website.

I decided to build a portfolio because I think it’ll be useful to showcase my projects and everything I’m working on.

Usually I stick to a very minimal UI, but this time I challenged myself to be as creative as possible. It was a nice change, and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out.

The main website is already finished (it wasn’t too hard to code, to be honest). In the next devlogs I’ll be fixing a few JavaScript bugs, polishing the animations, and writing all the actual content.

See you in the next devlog!

Devlog #3

Hey everyone!

Today I worked on the final fixes and improvements for the project:

• Fixed some remaining bugs
• Organized and cleaned up the code
• Polished the UI
• Hosted the project on Netlify

I think WebOS is now ready to ship!

Thanks for following this little project journey and watching it grow!

Devlog #02

Hey guys!!

Today was a huge update for the project. The WebOS was in a pretty unstable state after messing with the terminal, but after fixing some critical issues I was able to improve the architecture and add a lot of new features.

Here are the main improvements from today:

Fixed a critical JavaScript crash caused by a corrupted File Explorer function
Rebuilt the Terminal, Settings, and File Explorer systems
Introduced a centralized APPS registry for easier application management
Simplified app launching with a cleaner architecture
Added 5 new applications:

• Calculator with chained operations
• Music Player with upload, controls, seek bar, and volume
• Image Viewer with zoom and fit-to-screen
• Task Manager showing running windows and processes

The project now feels much closer to a real desktop environment instead of just a web application.

In the next devlogs, I want to improve the File Explorer with copy/paste support, add Minesweeper, and introduce more modern UI effects like system tray controls.

P.S Today i tried to create the custom file format but ended just creating more bugs

Thanks for reading this!!!

Devlog #01

Hey guys!!

Today I started this project, and I’ve really enjoyed working on it from the very beginning.

Here are the main features my WebOS currently has:

• XFCE-inspired desktop environment
• Customizable desktop wallpaper and themes
• Draggable desktop icons with grid snapping
• Persistent desktop layout
• Taskbar with app launcher and running windows
• Start menu with app search
• Window manager with drag, resize, minimize, maximize, and multi-window support
• Virtual filesystem stored in the browser
• File Explorer
• Notepad text editor
• Paint drawing application
• Web browser
• Video player
• Terminal emulator
• Settings panel
• First-launch setup wizard
• Light/dark mode support

In the next devlogs, I want to improve the terminal system and introduce a custom file format.

p2p Chat Client

Hey guys! I wanna illustrate my new project: A p2p chat client.

I decided to make this project because i was always fascinated by the OPSEC and p2p communication world. Before starting to code i researched a lot about p2p communication and decided to stick with WebRTC.
At the moment the client its pretty much done, i didn’t figured out a way to implement upload yet. Maybe in the future when i will have the skill i might re try coding this project.

Thank you for looking at my project ☺️!
