Devlog #3: Starmap Generator — Going Web-Native!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Devlog #3 of the Starmap Generator project. I hope you are all doing great!

Today, I want to share a quick but really interesting update about the project’s progress, a major milestone hit, and a weird little glitch I ran into along the way.

The 5-Hour Grind (and a Weird Bug)

Today was an intense coding session — I actually sat down and worked for about 5 hours straight.

But here is the funny part: for some reason, my time tracker completely glitched out and claims I only logged 1 hour of work! I’m not entirely sure why it missed the other 4 hours, but trust me, a massive amount of effort went into this session despite what the broken analytics say.

A Semi-Functional Website!

The big achievement for today is that the website is officially semi-functional! 🎉

It’s not fully complete yet, but the core backend and frontend parts are finally starting to communicate and work together. Just like in my previous sessions, I pulled this off by combining official documentation with AI assistance to bridge the gaps in my current knowledge.

It took a lot of debugging and back-and-forth, but seeing the page actually render and do something interactive makes it totally worth it. The project is officially moving to the web and becoming something you can actually interact with!

What do you think?

Now that the project is live on the web and taking real shape, I would love to hear your thoughts:

How does the progress sound to you so far?
Are there any specific web features or UI elements you’d love to see in a starmap generator?

If you have any feedback, ideas, or questions, please leave a comment below or open an issue!

Thank you all for reading and following along on this journey.

Have a nice day!
