Did a LOT of work! I officially added authentication, and a full user system. :) I’ve started working on the design page. The UI is below… I spent about 30 minutes designing it in Lapse, but I’m personally not a fan I think I need to redesign it… Anyway! Added the JUCIEST animation on the Home Screen, so that’s great. :D I also added an icon switcher to display the user’s icon, and if it’s not there, the capybara is instead. The top left button still does nothing on the home page, but I plan to add that soon. I fixed a lot of issues, and have (I think) finished designing the backend plan. :) Basically, when the user saves, it stores a ‘map’ (an object (FireStore terms are weird…)) of the project, containing the name, the titles, subheadings, etc all within their own arrays. This allows the user to add as many as they’d like. I hope I can figure this all out and get it working, but it might be a challenge, especially since I’m very new to using FireBase. Anyway, I would love your feedback on the background render, since I find it a bit distracting. I might make a ‘friendlier’ one later and compare. I love the one I’ve got on the home page, so I think I just need to keep that style consistent.

First Devlog! (PS, for some reason I can’t switch lines in the updated devlog menu, so sorry for the weird layout!) I started by making a design for the app, which seems to have failed to log for some reason… I spent about an hour on it combined, and then recreated it (I’d like to say) accurately in CSS and HTML! Added no functionality yet, but that’s on my to-do list on my Trello board. (I’ve linked an image of the site.) During that first design hour (before I started coding) I also made the Blender render in the background! I really like this way to make it look more detailed, and - despite having under 15 lines of HTML content, it looks quite high-effort! I added a logo in the top right (to link to a page about me :D) but I’m concerned that it might be misleading, as the app will (likely) have an account system. On the topic, I haven’t really decided how I’ll handle authentication yet! I’m considering a basic email + password thing, but it’ll have to be secure! If you’re curious, I’m using FireStore for the backend. I’ve also attached an image of the main app (Figma design), although I haven’t made that yet and still intend to once I’ve figured everything out. :D (please ignore the stupid placeholder text, I was really tired XD) Thanks for reading! Hope the layout wasn’t too much of an issue.
