Each devlog I make logs more and more time. It felt wrong to make an entire video recording of my OS before there were some real differences. Weather widget, battery widget, music player, and design clean-up are all off the checklist now. The majority of my time according to the hackatime report was my css file, surprisingly.

First of all, the weather app is the most technically advanced appearing widget here. It is how I have come to learn what an API is. And it’s amazing! All the weather data comes to me live and all I have to do is get my functions straight in JS, though I did end up needed two (one for city-> coordinates, another for coordinates-> weather). I did additionally watch several youtube tutorials in order to understand how these kinds of API-features usually work out, but very few actually included a search result dropdown. There are some issues with this addition (every search leads to 5 results, some of which may be
duplicates) but I’m not really interested in wading through that mess for a long time.
More important than that, however, is that I spent over an hour
building the code for my battery widget only to discover that the two browsers I use -Firefox and Safari- do not support its API due to data
issues. Which is understandable, but I wish I had known that before I bothered. Furthermore, my first-choice font doesn’t even show on Safari?
Anyway, you can view my full OS as it should be in this recording below (taken in VSCode).
