I think I’ll go insane soon.
I have changed the whole system of how Helyx saves Projects to its config file and how every function… EVERY FUNCTION works with it. I just have to say that I’ll try my best to make the code better than the one I am currently editing because 18h spent on redoing the whole code is 1. crazy and 2. I’ll go crazy.
I am planning to do this ASAP because really this takes too long and I want to continue to work on the User Scripts and Backup.
luv ya
I have finally finished my Mediapad and sent a submission for it!
I’ve been also experimenting with a stand for the Mediapad via Claude MCP and tried to print it on my 3D printer, but it looks that for now we will not add a stand :D
I’ve also done few changes to the case and PCB.
Right now I am waiting until my submission passes through and it gets delivered to me so I can build it!
I had to completly redo the casing for my MediaPad because the old one wasn’t that good and also had issues with M3 screws where the dimensions were incorrect and it also wasn’t designed for heat inserts. This revision has correct dimensions for screws and heat inserts and also uses the latest layout of my PCB.
I have also redesigned the layout of my PCB as mentioned where I removed one mounting hole because I found out that it’d be better to use it for the case holding+PCB around the Hackpad than somewhere in center holding primary the PCB and making pressure at the 3D printed case at center (could lead to bends).
I have created a case & firmware for my Mediapad.
Becuase I am not really good at modeling, the case isn’t much but I think that it is my best work in Blender yet!
I have completely revamped my code.
I removed a lot of unused code that were originally a function but at the end useless… and I have also tried to refactor each function so it can look nices.
I have also found a lot of variables that were unused or were there that much time that it was worth to just create a singleton.
I also began to work on User Scripts and Backup system.
Finsihed status changer and currently working on another functions like Backup and Scripts. There is still a lot of things to do like creating many Settings tabs to make everything customizable and add more functions to make this project even better!
I just finished making PCB & Schematics. I am right now preparing to continue making Case and Firmware… Not really looking forward to making the case because modeling is the biggest pain for me that has ever existed.
I have just completed the basic tutorial for Hackpad but right after this I am going to begin to work on schematic for Spotify Board that will as the name may say… be for Spotify App control :)
What’s up!
I have finally finished a lot of major stuff and also tried to make some additional things that MAY be added in future but for now I won’t say what exactly because I don’t want some fake hype or something like that.
All of Git functions are done with some automatic repairs if you do something you shouldn’t. I still have to finish a kind of sized part of Settings and customizable things so y’all can do whatever you want with it without editing the code itself!
Here are some sneak peaks…
We’ve made a lot of progress!
More of the Git Actions are done such as…
Currently WIP:
After a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time I am here again.
I had to refactor the whole code multiple times due to amount of variables that had the same information, naming, simplicity and so on…
We have made some progress again guys!
Updated UX
I have changed the UX so it looks more modern-ish.
This UX update is still only on the main pages but I plan to add it to every message and page very soon!
More actions! (even more will be available in future)
I have added more Git Actions that are still in WIP.
I’ll tell you more about them when they will be finished (SOON).
More stuff in Settings!
I have added more settings into Settings :D
Now you can select Default IDE, see if your IDE was found in your system, if not you can manually select the .exe of it.
You can also manage the config file.
Projects sorting
Projects are now sorted based on it’s Status
You can manage the projects for Hely-x
You can now delete the projects and change the status.
I’ve been working on the IDE detection system. This took me a long time because I was testing many different ways of how to detect it and then sort it to the most probable to the least. At the end I have selected the one that uses points based on what the Project includes in its path… so files, extensions and directories.
I also worked more on the language selection function and library of languages. I still need to add a some text but it shouldn’t be that much because some of the texts are being repeated.
I have also refactored the code to some point but it is still not great after all of these things I have done above 
… so still need to do this.
I redesigned the menus and made it more universal to the user and made the menu easier to navigate in.
I think my progress is going kinda good so far so good and it looks promising for me.
I also added some basic Git function like “git status” but I am about to add more.
I’d appreciate if you would write into comments some functions that I should add to Helyx.
Not sure if I already mentioned this but I am also planning to add a feature so you can create your own shortcuts for your projects like… some testing shortcut.
For instance, you have some project you want to test and you need to build it, then tweak some settings and at the end you actually test.
With this, you can do all of this just by one click…
Well, that’s at least my imagination and I am not pretty sure if it will get to such point where you can do such tasks but we’ll see 
Wish me luck!
I was working on a Translation System for the whole Program. For now it is still WIP but soon it should be done.
I made the “Add Project” system and some basic detection systems for it such as…
• Project Name
• Path
• Languages (used programming language in project)
• Used IDE for the project
then it will ask you if you really, but REALLY want to add the project and if you proceed it will be added to your Projects menu.
After that you can open your Project and see such basic info as…
• Status
• Last modified
• Languages
• Used IDE
• Is a GIT Repo
I am thinking about adding more, removing some and making it overall more versatile because versatile applications are ngl just the best ones.
For now, I created some basic functions for your Projects such as…
• Open in VS Code
• Git Status
• Remove Project (from Helyx)
but these ones are the ones which are already working, but I am still trying to make them more versatile :p
… but there’s more functions that I am currently working on but I am not going to tell you about them yet :D
(own functions??)
Lately I’ve been working on a way how to search for projects automatically but I had to scrap the idea because I didn’t like it at the end so now I am making it so you can add your own projects and some IDE integrations. I was also trying multiple libraries for CLI interface integration and GUI support with other libraries and input devices.
These hours were full of scrapping ideas and creating new ideas but that’s what programming is! :D
So I have finally began to work on this!
I was thinking a lot what to create for Stardance and it looks like this might be something I want to create!
Originally I wanted to create this in Python but then I really quickly found out that my basic skills of Python wouldn’t be enough to create something like this and I didn’t want this to be a vibe-coding project…
SO HERE WE ARE… using C# lol
So far so good, ig…
Currently I am working on the config handler which will have functions for implementing and retrieving infos from the config.
After that I am planning to make the interface somewhat versitile, so it is possible to adjust it for yourself or add some new options and such.
