WinFlow -> Devlog 6

Finally done. Its DONE!
I know, shipwrights would call this AI, maybe. But really, I can’t belive that I coded the whole UI, only learning concepts of css from Duckduckgo and Gemini.

I always thought this project will have a lot of AI, but no. I have finally mastered my CSS, and HTML.

I love it! I am at least proud of the app, and even though its a simple home screen, it shows a glimpse of a full app, that is usable, and loved by people!

Any suggestions can be made to make this project better! Please do give suggestions! It will make this project better!

Thanks for the attention.

WinFlow -> Devlog 5

Finally, I am somewhere, my project is FINALLY usable!!

I have File and Folder linked to the backend working independently, and it works. Somehow there is some errors in system, I have no idea why… But, it still creates the folder! Let’s go!

Good right? And now I am just creating the readme, and after that I guess, I will be ready to publish my thing. Any suggestions you guys want to give, you can! I will try my best to improve my UI/backend.

Until then, take care!
Even after the release, the WinFlow Explorer will STILL be very experimental. Unusable for normal use, due to very less features. But, just wait. Just wait. Probably later I will make more UI elements, make it better!

WinFlow -> Devlog 4

Oh, yes, time = 8h 36min, which is ~516min, and, I don’t want to spam seconds. Let me be frank. It is a pain to devlop the simple-simple goody app WinFlow Explorer. It is a headache a little…. I still gotta do MORE AND MORE WIDGETS!!! HONEST! But I promise you they are not going to be microsoft ads and Xbox promotion and all that crap.

In the UI part, I have GELLED major components, made it according to my set of rules for UI called TrueUI, and a LOT of components are liqidised(made in variables, ready to be changed). I still gotta make components more liquid tho, like for cards, tabs, almost everything, so that the user has UNLIMITED customizablity.

Yes, for all of the people who are crazy meniacs like in my class boys, you can PINK AND BLACK and ASSIGN ANY COLOR TO COMPONENTS! YES!!! You can! Unlimited Customisability is one of the features… I am going to do pixel anim in the future, but future. Right now I have A LOOOOOTT of widgets to make. Oh btw, I have STILL NOT DONE MY OTHER FILES IN GENERAL UI STUFF .

Anyway I will implement and don’t worry boys, or girls, we can black the ui, pink the ui, and (my fav color) blue the UI. It is kindda in testing so, it is not THAT pretty sight, but the amount of hardwork it takes…. I think it will take time to realise. I have to sit and finetune the values until perfect, and that IS NOT easy. It is immensly hard and feels very rubbish.

But whatever. Part of software devlopment. I also hope I get a SuperStar, tho that somehow feels highly unlikely.

Anyway, I don’t care if I get that or not, I just want user satisfaction. I want the user to be immensly pleased. And I swear if someone from the shipwrights say: “This is fully vibecoded”. I swear I will feel like choke them….. I hate people who have one glance and say “Extremely Likely Used AI”. Honestly, I have used AI 1%-2%, not for UI, but for the latter backend…

I still gotta make UI better, somehow it feels plain and boring. idk why… If you have some UI ideas, tell me, I can then improve my app~

I would love if you follow me for more devlogs and keep up with my journey though:


Dark and Difficult things lie ahead…

WinFlow -> Devlog 3

YES! YES!!!!*, I KNOW, you would be screaming WHY ADVAY?? WHY DON’T YOU POST ANOTHER DEVLOG!!?? IT IS 7H 44MIN DONE!!!

I know. I know. Sorry, just get too carried away with the code… ehh

So, what am I done with? Am I supossed to dance? NO! This is a very complex project. Honest.

Even the home page, EVEN AFTER ~21H, is NOT YET completed. But look at the vid! neat result.

My journey to making a software, so complex and so pleasing at same time is TOOO hard. And ppl, I am only 13y, a normal child studing in school, kind of sneaking time to code! 😭

Lets look at the different aspects that I coded

Backend

Yes, backend, I made lsa, “testmodel1” is the nickname. And it is sucessful, so I am merging with ls, and making current ls, lsa. TestModel1 has MFT(Master Boot Record) scan, which ofc requires admin permissions, but see the speed.

You might not notice it, but when you have ~a LOT A LOT of files to list, TestModel1 cruises and litrally halves the time. In search model, this would be EXTREMELY USEFUL. Scan the MFT and then find the file. It is that simple. (Not at ALL simple to code. HONEST. It is a risk with the disk. One thing coded wrong, I am cooked. But don’t worry, it works, and AI also helped and tested.)

Frontend

You can see the vid for yourself(special bonus… pls watch)

That’s it. Follow if you want me to keep working on this and give motivation. Also like, and YES! if you think this can be a super star project write “superstar” in comments(tho i am not making for the sake of earning superstar, it is to rectify windows.)

WinFlow -> Devlog 2

I was soooo into coding, I forgot all about my time.
Now the 9min I coded are LOST.
Sorry, Hackclub staff! 😭 Pls give me that!

Anyway, I have coded WinFlow UI in tauri with html and css, an explorer ->

I have also added gradients, fresh and unique to my explorer…

What else?
I have also implemented in the files area a drag selection box, neat animation wrapped in good color and border-radius.

Honestly, this HAS been a BIG learning experience in css, I used to go away when I heard CSS, now, I kindda got the hang. Loving it!

Anyway, here is the progress img >
And PLS, some of you in the stardance said that it is created using AI, but PLEASE, believe me, I didn’t. Any proof, pls check the hackatime.

Pls Follow, it will make me more motivated to complete this project(right now, to create this, I was on a emotional burnout😭)

Any suggetions pls comment.

(few bugs like , recents and fav is selected. and the 2,3,4. pls forgive me for that…)

WinFlow -> Devlog 1

I am making a project called WinFlow

WinFlow => App that makes your workspace more fluent buttery with awsome UI.

Tech stack:
Tauri(RUST, html, css, js)
C++(Rust IPC)

I am building a litral file explorer called WinFlow Explorer, but for that I have to do CLI part.

I implemented a prototype, well commented code, and here is the result.

I will then begin by rust IPC and then start buiding the app and the UI.

My app is also better and faster than microsoft, because the explorer is not made by microsoft, it’s made by me

(secret: I use recursive method, while windows struggles to calculate the estimated time :))
