I’m banging my head on the screen. I’ve just switched my laptop from windows to linux, and wiped my ssd. I thought I had everything backed up, but when I checked again now, I forgot to push all the progress I made with the dht discovery and magnet link managing.

I have to redo all that…

Ok even bigger news!!
Dht discovery was an important step, but this is what is has been building up to: Using BEP9/10, now the program can get the torrent files and download their specific content with only a magnet link!!!

• Firstly, the app begins a huge dht query to look for peers (if possible even thousands)
• Afterwards it requests the metadata (parsed torrent file) from each of them until it gets a response (most seeders only send content, not the metadata and I don’t yet know a way to filter them out)
• After it recieves the metadata, the download proceeds normally

In another course of events, the free nim api key I was using drew it’s last breath repairing this. (I’ve been staring at it for one hour not knowing that the 5th bit in the torrent dict- BEP 9 specific was wrong). Anywhom the key still works theoretically but my cli - opencode failed ( asks for money I don’t have) and I can’t keep my eyes open to fix it, maybe tomorrow.

This was a big one. I’ve now implemented dht discovery!!
(after fixing some bugs), the rust program can now install announceless torrents!
(this example here used no dht since my default added trackers had the torrent indexed, but it works :D)

Alrighty, now I have cleared some bugs, made the tool more efficient AAAND came up with my (kinda) first original idea. What if I just took the trackers given in the torrent file, and added some on top of that
-Now the program defaults to adding two large public trackers – (going from one official seeder to three)

• There is a fallback option, setting an env variable can override all trackers, even the ones from the torrent file (if any)

After one hour (and some more) - the torentino-pure (pure rust no cli) HAS A WORKING DEMO.
I will now get to understanding the actual code, and then optimise it to use dht protocols for torrents.

I’ve looked at some post-use apps made by some users and fixed some bugs:

• if the icon is invalid it’s replaced by a default “gears”
• app doesn’t allow blank titles anymore - they get renamed “App ” if left blank
  Now I’m debating wether or not to manually remove junk apps - test blobs made by some users just for testing the platform

I just wrote a decent README so, It’s finished!!! :D (for the 17th time)
The app store isn’t very rich right now, but I plan on adding more apps if users request any

First app is up! :D
Made a ping-pong game (mostly ai slop) … BUT I KNOW how it works, had to make the game pause when hidden and resume when the window gets clicked.

The hard part is done. AndOS now has a code editor, “compiler” and publisher ~ and all bugs that I knew of are gone :D

He he hell yeah It’s done.
A working demo for the submitting apps is done, now any user can actually create their own app inside my webos (for real this time)
I’ll add some user-friendly documentation soon on the prebuilt functions and more.

I have succesfully made a custom script for custom apps. Now an entire window can be opened on my page with an object like this.
I only need to add two things, one local interface to actually submit the code from a user, and then a public app store.

Today was a good day, I finished the notes app earlier (not sure it was today) aaaand implemented a new feature I wanted for some time.
Now every day my os has a new background, the nasa apod background! I also added an info window that includes the name and info about the image. I got the idea from windows back when I had to use it without a license and this was the default.

Completed the notes app!
New feature:
Apps can now be resized properly, since the resize function returns an event-target that can be used in the custom app script.

I’ve implemented two new functions!!
The resizeElement initializez a div in the bottom right corner of the window. It acts as a handle to resize the window. It has no practical use I can think of, aside from user experience.
And then there is the overlay function, I forgot to put this in from the original guide but now this allows each app to be put in front of the others when interacted with.

It’s officially done! There are still features I’d like to add later on, but for now this is a functional webOS.
You can check out the latest demo right here:

Finally chose a coding environment. I’m going to use tauri, combining a rust-backend with js-frontend. I already knew some rust so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Finally have a good demo for the weather app!!

Officially made a user-friendly (kinda) platform to add apps, I will now go on to some actual apps and I’m done
