Today I officially started my Nuclear calculator project for Hack Club Stardance. The first part of the work focused on setting up a clean development environment and creating the basic structure of the project. I created a new project folder, initialized a Git repository, connected it to a new GitHub repository, and configured Hackatime so that development time could be tracked correctly. I also created the initial project structure with the src and public directories, a README.md, and a .wakatime-project file.
After the setup was complete, I began building the calculator interface. I created the index.html file and finished the basic HTML structure for the application. The layout includes the foundation for the calculator display, input area, and button grid, which will serve as the base for future scientific and advanced features. The goal is to build a modern, elegant calculator with a premium user interface rather than a simple basic calculator.
With the project now connected to GitHub and Hackatime successfully tracking coding hours, the development environment is fully ready for the next stage. The next devlog will focus on designing the calculator’s visual appearance using CSS and implementing the first interactive functionality with JavaScript.
