So basically, I have added a first version of the scholarships tab. It has a list of 17 US unis that give generous financial aid to international students.

I also added a small section that explains what need-blind, need-aware and meeting full need actually mean.

Also, I worked on the README, and I also built a signed APK and put it in a GitHub release. As a result, anyone can install the app on their phone.

So, I made a couple of fixes. Firstly, tapping a section in the toolkit tab quickly does not leave duplicate rows or words behind anymore.

After that, the “Today’s rate” now changes the screen once instead of redrawing it three times.

I further improved the wording in a couple of places. Additionally, I implemented comprehensive English score validation which detects impossible IELTS averages and whatnot.

I also started working on the Scholarship tab.

I basically added seven new Toolkit features.

Firstly, the money plan tracks application and visa costs. It also tracks payment progress and savings targets.

A complete guide for tuition, deposits, and proof of funds requirements has also been given. Also, a deadline management feature has been added.

You can now also check your grades against the university’s entry requirements. You can do the same for your English test score.

A glossary has been added which explains 58 common study abroad terms in plain language for now.

Finally, I would like to talk about future updates. I am now going to work on fixing some bugs. After that, I will include some content in the scholarship tab.

I had exams last week, so I am a bit late. I need to get a lot of work done in the next couple of days.

Anyways, this devlog covers all of the changes that I made since the last devlog. First of all, I have added the roadmaps of 5 countries in the countries tab. The animation of the checkpoint traveling as the user scrolls down in any one of the roadmaps was a bit difficult to make. It is still a bit glitchy. I will work on it again in the upcoming days.

Also, the toolkit tab is now grouped into main sections. It only has one main section now. I will add more sections in the upcoming days. Additionally, I have organized the content to be a bit cleaner and more minimalistic as I myself felt a bit overwhelmed reading through the content. Moreover, it took a lot of time to gather and check all of the facts.

It has been quite a while since I lasted posted a devlog. I know that I take way too much time before I post a devlog. However, it is just that I do not feel like posting before I do make some actual progress.

Anyways, back to the progress - So, the Plan tab is finished. Basically, you get to answer up to eight short questions and then Pathway builds a dated plan for the USA, Finland, Turkey, Malaysia or New Zealand from 117 sourced facts. The planner works backwards from each deadline and runs twice i.e. once without safety margins to decide whether an intake is still possible.

The hardest part was the animation (as expected). It is because the phone’s frame log showed stutters which needed some serious fixes.

Ooopsss! I figured that I have to post a devlog soon.

Anyways, I have started working on Pathway. It has now its real app shell i.e. four tabs, light and dark themes with a manual switch, and a design built around a metro map.

The hardest part was the status bar. On my phone, the clock became unreadable in light mode until I found that Capacitor 8 never draws behind the system bars on Android 14 and older. So, the app now asks for it itself.

So, I finalized the full interactive telemetry feature set for the terminal. The most important thing that I did in this session was that I implemented an asynchronous text-scramble packet decryption engine with audio-synthesized cipher ticks on hover and initialization.

Also, I Added a three-stage CRT scanline filter controller (HIGH, LOW, OFF) hotkeyed to [V], along with an on-screen tactical HUD action toast for real-time keystroke feedback.

This was probably the most effective one hour that I spent coding. I basically upgraded the terminal with client-side web audio synthesis and a trajectory comparison memory bank. I built procedural audio nodes that synthesize mechanical relay clicks, launch charge sweeps, and impact pings without external audio files.

I also added ghost trajectory logging so operators can record and visually compare up to five distinct ballistic arcs on canvas with live apogee and range comparisons. Also, I added keyboard hotkeys (Space, R, S, C, M) and animated radar sweep beams across the coordinate horizon.

So basically, I got the foundational terminal interface running for my Personal Website. After that, I built a high contrast tactical workstation with 100% vanilla HTML and CSS.

This is the final devlog for the WebOS 1 mission. The station has a voice now i.e. pressing a key at the boot gate runs a real acquisition sequence. Also, Keying the transmitter gives you a blip and forty-three minutes later the acknowledgement comes back as a two-tone chirp, so you can hear the round trip close even with every console shut.

I also rebuilt the oscilloscope after realising it looked wrong for a stupid reason. The phosphor was fading about five times faster than the beam could draw so only a fifth of the trace ever existed at once. Slowing the decay to match the sweep rate fixed it instantly and it now behaves like an actual CRT with the trace dimming behind the beam instead of disappearing.

This is the second update on OWLT.

The clock is running now and the light time mechanic actually works. Type a “VERB” into UPLINK and the command takes 43 mission minutes to reach Jupiter.

None of that 43 minutes is invented. Both bodies are propagated on circular orbits and the separation comes out at 777 million kilometres and dividing by the speed of light gives 43:12. It drifts down by a second every eleven thousand mission seconds because Earth is closing on Jupiter at 27 km/s.

I basically got the shell working today. There are three draggable consoles on a seeded starfield under a fixed instrument rail and a boot gate that holds until you acquire the carrier.

The part that took the longest and was the most difficult was working out the fact that a console shoved off the right edge has to be resized when the window itself resizes.

I spent the last couple of days fixing a lot of bugs and also made some polishes here and there.

1. Page weight went from about 20 MB to around 1 MB on mobile.
2. The data payload went from 3210 KB to around 47 KB.
3. The gift links went from three KV writes to just one.
4. Fixed the date field being invisible on Android.
5. Some APOD entries are GIFs. They exported in the gift card as black rectangles. I fixed it by requesting a mid-sequence frame plus a luminance check on the export as a backstop.

Previews were broken till this phase, so I fixed them as well through routing them through a proxy at a declared 1200×630. Also, some more polishes here and there. I do think it is finally ready to ship!!!

Alright, so today was basically making some more fixes and polishing. I completely rebuilt the recipient experience into a true read-only unboxing view. And I kept the interactive wax seal while stripping out editor pickers and replaced collapsed Chrome Android date inputs with a bespoke calendar overlay.

After that, I fixed the near invisible scrollbars in the Keepsake letter template, corrected parchment character counter styling, and revamped exported story cards so that the personal messages take center stage alongside cosmic vitals like Lunar Phase and Solar Revolutions.

Also, I gave the AI rewrite pipeline a massive efficiency boost by trimming max_tokens from 4096 down to 1600 to prevent Groq TPM ceiling throttling, capping server-side output at 600 characters, and tuning temperature to 0.55 for faster, more consistent outputs.

I came across a lot of more bugs that needs fixing, so I am not sure if I can ship it today. Maybe a couple of more days…

Just finished making the Keepsake letter template. The letter experience opens with an interactive envelope scene built using 3D CSS transforms. Like other templates, users can also customize their letters in real time using client-side image carousels and alternate year pickers.

I have also made the AI rewrite feature functional. I also added a 150 word limit and a precise system prompt to optimize token usage. There are some bugs regarding the UI in the mobile view. I will fix those soon

Hey everyone!

Making another update on Skywritten. First of all, I finished the ‘1080×1920 Story Card Exporter’. Basically, when you click Export Story Card, you will get a 1080×1920 high-res PNG tailored for Instagram Stories.

After that, there were some mobile view bugs. I spent some time fixing that and polishing the app. The Storybook template needed a lot of fixes in the mobile view as there were overlapping issues due to the first page being transparent.

Finally, I finished writing the Cloudflare Worker logic for our AI rewrite feature.
