Devlog #4: Grid Fix, Regrets, and the Final Stretch

Today was a major turning point for the Starmap Generator project. After hitting a few frustrating roadblocks in the previous session, I managed to resolve a major layout issue and put the project on track for completion.

The Grid is Finally Fixed

The biggest technical success of today was finally getting the CSS grid layout to work exactly the way it was supposed to. It took a lot of trial and error, adjusting properties, and fighting with the responsiveness, but everything is now aligning properly on the screen. The elements are sitting where they belong, and the core interface is stable.

Reflections on the Lost Hours

I still feel a bit disappointed about the time tracker glitch from yesterday that failed to log four hours of intense work. It is never a great feeling when hard work goes unrecorded, but the progress made today helps make up for it. The effort put into those missing hours definitely laid the groundwork for today’s fixes.

First-Time Web Design Expectations

I want to be realistic about the current state of the website. I am not a professional web designer, so the visual layout is nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking. It is simple, functional, and clean. However, considering this is one of my first major attempts at building and deploying a web interface from scratch, I am genuinely happy with how it turned out. It gets the job done.

Nearing the Finish Line

The project is incredibly close to being finished. There is only a very small amount of work left to do. If everything goes smoothly and I maintain this momentum, I actually expect to fully wrap up the project tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who has been following the updates. The final version is almost here.
