I made a WebOS. For my Web OS 2 mission I added a stopwatch, countdown timer and also a way to change your desktop background to a different picture that I have put in, these are all in my widgets slide out dock. I have also added a calculator app so when you want you can use it to do calculations. And I’ve done some updates to my Notes app so you can save your notes and when you come back later it will be waiting there for you and you can continue where you left off. Also to the notes app I added that when you add a new note it asks what you want to name it and it uses that name. The part that was challenging was, that when I expected the code to work it didn’t. Especially when the bug was like a few extra spaces I had put in or me not typing something in correctly(I admit, that was really frustrating). But if I had to choose what the hardest thing was I’d say it was the calculator it was really frustrating and wouldn’t do what I wanted half the time and when I finally got it to work I was so relieved and happy. Honestly, I can’t pick one thing that I’m proud of because I am proud of the whole thing and I am proud of myself that I built that whole Web OS by myself. That I coded every little piece of code with my fingers, on my keyboard and it just makes me so so (I don’t know what to say) happy and proud! To test out my project just click the link I have put for the demo url and it takes you to the deployed site or go to my READ ME and It under live Demo it has the link just click it and it takes you to the site(that’s it. no extra steps). Thanks HackClub people I loved Stardance o7 .

Hey Everyone, I have finished the calculator and that works smoothly now. I have also done some updates to the Notes app now it saves your notes so next time when you open it you can continue where you left off, also now when you open a new note you can name it yourself (it works!). Now let me tell you something, when you give me too much time on my hands I’d either waste it or do something overly productive and this time I ended up being overly productive and guess what I added another new feature! You can now change the background by choosing one of the three buttons given. You can choose and change it in the widget center. Though all of this wasn’t easy, quite the opposite really. Personally, I think it took way too much searching sites to build all of this new code and to get it working. Changing the background the code was simple but I had a few bugs here and there and because of that my code wouldn’t work. Honestly I am so proud of my work and am very satisfied with this project. Yay! Stardance!!!

Hey guys, The calculator for my WebOS is almost done and I’m so happy! It took me quite a while but I’ve got it working though only after a heap of bugs and layout problems (it was exhausting…not really ;) ). Anyway, I still have time so I was thinking of maybe saving the notes in the notes app so even after refreshing they are still there. If I manage to finish that maybe I’ll do something else but I haven’t thought of anything yet.

I know I said I got the widgets up and running well I take it back I didn’t. When I went back to it guess what? They weren’t working and I was like “Seriously?! why…??!!”. It took me awhile of editing to get it working and when I finally got it working I was like “YAY!!!”. I was so so happy. Then I had to decide what to do for my 3rd feature and Guess what it is? I’ve decided to do another app. what kind of app you ask? Well its a ..(drumroll ….).. Calculator! Did you guess it? :) I admit it took me 5 minutes to come up with the idea but hours (well it felt like hours. m( _ _ )m ) to actually get it running and its still not running . And also in the back of my mind I’m thinking OMG there is only practically less than a of couple days till stardance ENDS!!!

I am now in the middle of doing my 3 new features for my WebOS 2 mission. And I’m getting so nervous because the deadline is so close. I’ve decided to make a slide out widget sidebar as 1-2 of the features and I ran into quite a few bugs when I was doing it. The button to open it, even though it should’ve been simple wasn’t and the code just wasn’t working and it took me quite awhile of picking at the code to get it to work. I then decided that inside it I was going to do a stopwatch and a countdown timer and after much researching and searching through a few websites and my past code i was able to build them and I am so happy with them. But at the start it kept on not working and it was quite frustrating and so I decided to have a break and after when I came back to it and I managed to fix it then.

Refining and Changing! 👌 I had to change and delete some of my code because I had asked AI to do it and so it took me some time to try to figure out how to change it without breaking the code though there wasn’t much I needed to change because most of the time I hadn’t used AI much other than to point me in the right direction(and most of time no answers, I wanted to figure it out by myself if I could) and also I had looked at some code I had done before to help me out. In the middle of all that I actually found a block of code that did nothing it was just sitting there dormant and I remembered that when I wrote it I had tried doing something new but then abandoned it and moved on to another piece of code. I didn’t delete that block of code though, I was thinking I can eventually get back to it. I tried the site again and I was so relieved to see that it still worked perfectly and nothing had broken😮‍💨. Finally I was thinking if this devlog needed a picture but I don’t know what to put this time so I’m just going to put a picture of the working website again😅.

I made a Web OS. A top status bar tracks a localized clock, the system name, and a banner reading “You learn something new everyday!”. On the left side of the screen, desktop shortcuts for “Notes” and “Fortfact” sit next to an open, stylized “Welcome” window that explains the system’s core capabilities. In the bottom right corner, a window states that the environment has initialized successfully. At the start getting the features up and running was challenging but over time as I progressed and got used to it I was able to get it up and running and add new features and code freely without needing too much help. I am proud that I have built this because I have never done coding a web page before and it was a wonderful experience. But, if you asked me for one thing in my Web OS that I am especially proud of I would say that would be my notes app because I am so happy with how I built it so far and the new features I added to it that makes it uniquely mine. Along the way I accomplished stuff and improved stuff but I also ran into errors and problems in my code which was frustrating and sometimes shocking because I had expected it to work. To test my project you can just click the link I have put in or click the link I have put in my ReadMe and it launches directly from there, no extra steps!

Progress, Polishing, and a Sudden Deployment Scare!
Hey everyone! Since I wasn’t able to write much in my last devlog—because I was low on time and only posted a few sentences as a summary—I’ve decided to write more this time.
I’ve been chipping away at the Fortfact app and just pushed some fun updates. I’ve expanded the pool of content with a handful of brand-new facts and fortunes for you to discover, and I also refreshed the text in the welcome box to make it a bit more inviting. I also gave the UI a little makeover—I shrunk the welcome window’s overall size so it feels less intrusive, and tucked it neatly into the bottom-right corner of the screen and changed the text inside it.
Behind the scenes, I also took some time to dive into the codebase and refine a few areas that felt a bit rushed and messy during the initial build.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. I ran into a massive roadblock trying to deploy to GitHub Pages. For a moment, everything broke and it gave me quite a shock! It took a solid chunk of troubleshooting time, but I managed to untangle the issue and get everything live.

ok, so i ran into a few bugs when i was doing this and it took me a surprising amount of time to fix it but finally I fixed it! yay for me! anyway, after that i put in a few more additions to my notes app, like putting in buttons to open a brand new note or delete one or to save your current note.

I’ve created the first app!!! and I’ve added detail to it : letting you open it , close it, edit it, move it and resize it! I’ve put some base text into it but the user can change that text or add to it. Next I’m going to learn and develop this wonderful thing more!

I’ve been working on the welcome page .It took me some time to get it working right, and I’ve finally got it to . I’ve put an image as the background and also have done a simple message. I have just finished doing the top bar (with a clock) as well as a draggable window.
