@ele-na

today i added a card format for my devlog, now u click on an article and it expands for you to read instead of having like 10 articles literally smacked in your face.

i also added more content and images, im still trying to figure out the css grid (forget wordpress, css may be my biggest op) but for now everything looks pretty good! i really still like the cozy vibe

im considering adding a section but idt there would be any point cuz theres nothing else to yap about

today i finally got the vite and everything set up, got a new api and created my site!!

this is my first time using vite and other interesting file types such as gitignore and related stuff!

i pretty much just followed the guide, but i started a bit differently by initially just creating a github repo instead of importing the files afterwards

right now the website shows some really interesting clouds! i also edited the css a bit (finally getting the hang of css after losing it for 4 years!!) to give it a cooler vibe and stuff – i really like the monospace fonts idk why but yeah!!

today i didn’t have much time to work on this, but i added some more inspos and stuff, and i also am trying to figure out how to add graphics

the domain grant showed up, but im probs gonna save it for when the website is actually done to get a good domain and publish it

the inspiration section is now very tuff and inspirational, im experimenting with graphics on the home page, so don’t mind if stuff looks off

today i just mostly focused on adding more content, no graphics yet, but i hyperlinked a lot of stuff

i also changed the css a bit and fixed the formatting of the dropdown on the projects page. honestly imo everything looks better now with this new font and the changed coloring of the nav bar (has sm more of a cozy vibe!!)

help guys i genuinely don’t know what i can write for inspo without sounding cringe and stuff ToT

post-ship!! this ship got approved sm faster than the other one lmao

today i added new pages, as well as a proper navigation system. rn the content is mostly larp, but i will add more authentic stuff as time goes on (there is alr quite a bit of stuff in there tho) but as of right now everything works!! (knock on wood)

i reformatted the home page to be less crowded and moved a lot of the content to their respective pages – i also encountered a tiny bug with the nav but that got fixed pretty easily without me having to go to claude…

im gonna fix the dropdown on the projects page tmr, i dont really like how it looks rn (lowk chopped)

i also want to change a lot of the css (mostly font and stuff) and add more graphics bc rn it looks really dry and the colors rn are kinda clashing…

all right. so about the 3 sections…

my git was having a lot of trouble deploying the page, so i decided to reduce it down to one page.

this probably isnt wise, but i added all the css straight in the header of the html (i will change this someday)

other than that, i pretty much finished, with a couple sections and custom css and stuff…i’ll prob spend a couple more minutes fixing formatting and stuff and yayy

ima ship it and after this ship im going to add actual navigation and project demo carousels and lots of cool stuff

so after ElenaOS i wanted to have an actual more professional site (cuz iykyk elenaOS is lowk unprofessional) and thus i came here to create the more professional version

this website is only gonna have 3 tabs (i’ll add more if needed) and today i just set up the framework and chose a color theme (cuz aesthetics r rlly important trust)

i also coded a nav bar and started formatting some other pages like the home page and stuff

im having a bit of trouble getting github to deploy the fricking site so i can’t test until that gets fixed so for now ima just plan out the general layout and stuff bc i tend to have the most trouble with that

anyways i really like this color theme!!

today i was pretty productive and added some apps. i think everything started getting easier once i started getting the hang of things with adding new apps and ensuring that they can open and close normally and stuff

i added a grade calculator and embedded a google calendar in there as well

i want to be able to sync a lot of things in the OS to my google account so that I don’t have to set up extra time to go update the site

i haven’t worked on this in a while (since the ship was approving lmao) but today i added a gallery app (as promised from the last ship)

im not gonna worry too much about actual OS aesthetics until I have a couple more fully functional apps, then ima see if I can animate the background or smt

i also wanna code a OS pet but thats a project for slightly later lmao

anyways about the gallery app, its just gonna be a simple carousel to demonstrate my projects and stuff. highkey i regret creating this OS all about myself especially after they dropped the new personal website mission but oh well

this is prob the last devlog before i ship this project for the first time
i added a resume and made that draggable
also fixed some bugs… (a lot of bugs)
in the top bar i also added a temperature tracking module that tracks the temperature in a random town (its pretty tuff) but someday i will update it to match the location of the user
ima add some actual articles to the notebook someday
the spotify remains a widget
anyways all of this will be completed in elenaOS2.0!!

its been a long day lmao
i got the dragging bug fixed and created the notebook app, still working on some formatting issues but its going well. i decided to make it a blog of some sort that i can update through the html code pretty easily and u can basically access it through a dropdown menu instead of a sidebar
i decided to make the spotify permanently fixed on the screen and so i deleted its handle and close button (partly bc i couldnt get the click-> open function to work and i didn’t want to deal with it tdy)
im probably js gonna make all the apps collectively located on the left and have them open on the right and thus have some sort of control panel on the left
the vision is coming together gng ima go brainstorm the new app now :)

help gng the bugs r only getting worse

i added a spotify player and a notebook thingy but i js need the notebook to be closed when the program starts and open on click

the drift problem applies to all 3 of the tiny windows now and claude aint fixing it

i like the spotify player tho bc its the only thing that works ToT im acc so done (small thing but ima upload a playlist cover cuz i dont like the blue scheme of the playlist)

and if i dont drag the others the notebook wont even drag so that needs to be fixed asw

its been quite a while of trying to debug the drifting problem, so i decided to just go ahead and add some more stuff
im trying to add a spotify player and the app thats described in the guide
it looks tuff, js some more problems to fix

oki so between last night and this morning i js kept going with the guide and added some backgrounds and graphics, as well as the timekeeper

im currently working on the dragging function, which is bugging out a bit rn but i will figure it out (trust!)

i also want to figure out a way to add boundaries so that i wont be able to js drag the window completely off the screen (as shown below lol)

hi gng first devlog ever so here goes

tdy i finally got hackatime, github and my vscode all connected and set up. i haven’t coded HTML since over 5 yrs ago so i dont rlly remember anything so im starting from scratch again yay!!

the guides r rlly helpful and im finally recalling some of my past knowledge and i managed to get a decent looking webos started

im tired so ima continue this tmr but hey at least its started ykyk
