Welcome back to another devlog of SAFEROUTE!!!! So, in the last 6 hours or so, I managed to add a variety of features to my app. So far, here’s what I have.

🗺️ Navigation and Maps

• Interactive map with current location tracking
• Destination search
• Walking, cycling, and driving route options
• Route calculations using OpenRouteService
• Multiple route options
• Distance and estimated arrival time
• Turn-by-turn navigation
• Voice navigation
• Automatic rerouting when going off course
• Arrival detection
• Follow-my-location functionality
• 2D and 3D map controls
• Night mode for navigation
• Dropped-pin navigation
• Manual coordinate-based routing
• Route details panel
• Speed limit information

🛡️ Safety Features

I’ve also started building the safety system that makes SafeRoute different from regular navigation apps.

• Safety score calculations
• Comparing safer routes with faster routes
• Safety overlays
• Route safety comparisons
• The ability to prioritize safety instead of just distance or travel time

My goal is to eventually give users a better understanding of why one route might be safer than another.

🗺️ How SafeRoute Works

The app uses OpenRouteService for routing, which allows me to build the navigation system without depending on expensive routing APIs.

I’m also using React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and Firebase to build the application and its backend.

📱 Planned App Structure

I’m developing SafeRoute around five main tabs:

🏠 Home

The main dashboard, where users will be able to see an overview of the app, access quick actions, and use a small interactive map that opens the full navigation screen.

🛡️ Safety

This is where I plan to bring together safety alerts, hazard reports, community reports, local safety information, and an AI assistant powered by Gemini.

🧭 Trips

A place to plan trips, view trip history, access navigation, and eventually keep track of people who choose to share their trips.

🚨 Emergency

A dedicated section for emergency tools, trusted contacts, and features that can help users get assistance when they need it.

👤 Profile

A personalized section where users can manage their account, settings, and avatar.

🔥 Technologies I’m Using

• React Native
• Expo
• TypeScript
• Expo Router
• React Native Maps
• OpenRouteService
• Firebase Authentication
• Firebase
• Gemini AI (planned integration)

🎯 What’s Next?

Although the main map and navigation system is working, there is still a lot I want to accomplish.

My next goals are:

• Finish connecting all five main app sections
• Improve the safety scoring system using reliable safety data
• Integrate real-time alerts and hazard information
• Build community safety reporting
• Add emergency features and trusted-contact functionality
• Integrate the Gemini AI safety assistant
• Improve the overall UI and user experience
• Test the app thoroughly on real devices
• Prepare the final Congressional App Challenge demonstration

💡 My Vision

I don’t want SafeRoute to just be another navigation app. I want it to be something that helps people feel more confident when traveling, especially students and pedestrians who may not always have the safest route available to them.

My long-term vision is to combine navigation, community awareness, AI, and emergency assistance into one platform that makes everyday travel safer.

SafeRoute — Because the safest route should matter just as much as the fastest one.

HELLO EVERYONE! I’M BACK! 🚀

Hey everyone!

This is Sai-K, your OceanOS Producer, and I am SUPER excited to announce my newest invention…

SAFEROUTE! 🛡️

After working on OceanOS, I’ve started something completely new — an app designed to change the way we think about navigation.

Most navigation apps ask:

“What’s the fastest way there?”

SafeRoute asks:

“What’s the SAFEST way to get there?”

---

WHAT IS SAFEROUTE?

SafeRoute is a safety-focused navigation app that helps people find safer routes to their destination.

Instead of only looking at distance and travel time, SafeRoute is designed to consider things like:

• Reported hazards
• Dangerous intersections
• Route conditions
• Community safety reports
• Nighttime conditions
• Other safety factors

Because sometimes, the fastest route isn’t the route you want to take.

Imagine:

Route A: 20 minutes — Safety Score: 61/100
Route B: 23 minutes — Safety Score: 91/100

SafeRoute helps you see that difference.

Sometimes, 3 extra minutes can be worth it.

---

WHO IS IT FOR?

SafeRoute is being built with students and pedestrians in mind, but it can potentially help:

• Students walking home from school
• Pedestrians
• Cyclists
• Workers commuting
• Families
• People traveling at night

The goal is simple:

Help people make safer decisions about how they travel.

---

SOME OF THE FEATURES

Interactive Navigation

Get directions while seeing your location and route directly on the map.

Safety Scores

Routes can receive safety scores so users can compare safety alongside distance and time.

Community Reports

Users can report hazards like construction, blocked paths, dangerous intersections, or other problems.

Night Safety

A dedicated experience for people traveling after dark, with additional safety considerations.

Emergency Mode

Quick access to important emergency-related actions when they’re needed.

Trip Sharing

Share your trip with a trusted person so they can keep track of your journey.

AI Safety Explanations

AI can explain why a route may be safer instead of simply giving you directions.

---

THE BIG IDEA

SafeRoute isn’t just another map.

It’s an experiment:

Can navigation technology help people make safer decisions instead of simply faster ones?

That’s what I’m building to find out.

I want SafeRoute to change the way we think about navigation — from simply asking:

“How fast can I get there?”

to also asking:

“How safely can I get there?”

---

WHERE WE ARE NOW

SafeRoute is currently under development, and I’m building it piece by piece.

There will be bugs.

There will be broken builds.

There will definitely be moments where I stare at my code and ask:

“WHY IS THE MAP DOING THAT?!”

But that’s part of building something.

You build.

You break it.

You fix it.

You learn.

And then…

You make it better.

---

SAFER ROUTES. SMARTER DECISIONS.

This is SafeRoute.

And I’m just getting started.

Stay tuned. 🚦

OceanOS Producer & SafeRoute Developer

🌊 OCEAN OS IS BACK!!!! 🥳🥳🌊🌊

OCEAN OS 5.0 HAS ARRIVED. 🚀🌊

We had an AMAZING time with OceanOS 4.0, but I decided it was time to take things to the next level with a newer, more complex generation of OceanOS.

I like to call it “The Gen 5.”

JK. It’s just called OceanOS 5.0. 😏

Seriously though, this is one of the biggest updates I’ve made so far!

🍎 Windows or macOS? You Choose.

Some of you might remember we talked about adding a toggle between Windows Mode and macOS Mode.

Well… it’s finally here!

And yes — I brought back the beloved macOS-style dock from OceanOS 3.0. 🫡

And I am NOT exaggerating:

It took me FIVE HOURS to bring that dock back.

5. WHOLE. HOURS. 😭

By the time I finished, I was running on about 3% brain power and an unreasonable amount of sleep deprivation.

JK, I’m fine guys. 😂

Getting the dock working with windows, animations, app states, minimizing, restoring, and everything else was definitely an experience.

But honestly?

It was completely worth it.

🛠️ A LOT of Bug Fixes

I fixed a bunch of bugs and annoyances you guys reported, cleaned up interactions, improved the UX, and fixed several weird behaviors.

The Guide also got a major visual upgrade so it feels more like a real part of the OS.

🔴🟡🟢 THE BUTTONS ARE BACK

THE THREE BUTTONS ARE BACK. 😂

macOS Mode now has:

🔴 Close
🟡 Minimize
🟢 Maximize

It’s a small detail, but it makes macOS Mode feel MUCH more authentic.

And after five hours getting the dock back, I was NOT leaving those out. 😭

🌅 A Fresh New Background

I added a brand-new, high-quality background because a beautiful OS deserves a beautiful wallpaper. 🌊

A lot of you have asked where I find my backgrounds. One place I like is WallpaperFlare:

WallpaperFlare

There are some seriously awesome wallpapers there!

✨ A More Polished Top Bar

The top bar got a major visual refresh to make it cleaner, more modern, and more macOS-inspired.

And honestly…

I LOVE how it turned out. 😭🔥

I also added smaller improvements like smoother UX, cleaner visuals, better interactions, polished menus, animation improvements, and lots of tiny details.

The goal?

Make OceanOS feel less like a website pretending to be an operating system… and more like an actual operating system.

🧑‍💻 How Did I Make This?

A lot of you have asked how I created OceanOS.

Honestly, OceanOS has really grown on me.

I started it just a few months ago, a little after Stardance started. What began as a simple project became MUCH bigger than I expected.

I started with a blank Next.js template.

No OS. No desktop. No apps. No windows.

Just a blank project.

From there, I built everything step by step and had to learn an entirely new coding language.

And honestly?

I had a blast doing it.

There were definitely moments where I wanted to throw my computer out the window. 😂

But every problem I solved made OceanOS a little better.

🌊 OceanOS 3.0 Was a HUGE Milestone

OceanOS 3.0 was special because that was when I finally got the dock working the way I wanted.

Looking back at where OceanOS started compared to where it is now…

I’m honestly pretty proud of how far it’s come.

What started as a blank Next.js project has become a full interactive desktop environment with apps, windows, themes, animations, system UI, multiple OS modes, and much more.

And this is only OceanOS 5.0. 👀

Who knows where this thing is going next?

🚀 OceanOS 5.0 Is Coming

I hope you guys enjoy the new OceanOS!

You’ll be able to check it out once I ship the project on Stardance, and it’ll be available on Vercel soon.

Thank you to everyone who has followed the project, given feedback, reported bugs, suggested features, or simply checked it out.

OceanOS has come a LONG way, and I’m excited to keep building it.

Welcome to OceanOS 5.0. 🌊

Have a breezy day! 🌊😎

Made the BootScreen animation WAY better. Pics are attached below. I also updated the top bar menu dropdown options and fixed a few bugs in the Ocean Store. I triple checked everything worked and I see no errors. I believe OceanOS 4.0 is ready to ship! 😁

Added an Activity Monitor app 📟 (btw this emoji took me SO long to find) and it’s starting to look pretty good. Just adding a few more features to the desktop and OceanOS will soon be ready to ship!

🌊 OceanOS 4.0 — The OceanOS Messages Era Is Here

OKAY… I KNOW I JUST RELEASED OCEANOS 4.0. 😭

But I wasn’t done.

After all the SVGs, debugging, redesigns, new apps, and Lumos AI, I decided OceanOS needed something that felt a little more… alive.

So I built something new.

💬 Introducing: Messages

OceanOS now has a Messages app.

And this isn’t just a basic texting app.

You can now text, voice call, and video call Lumos AI, Alex, Sam, Maya, and the OceanOS Team.

Yep.

All of them. 😏

Each character has their own advanced Gemini-powered voice, personality, and communication experience. They’re designed to feel like actual people you can interact with—not just static AI characters sitting inside an app.

And the best part?

It all works together seamlessly.

Text them.

Call them.

Video call them.

Switch between conversations.

Everything is integrated directly with the Gemini API key, so the experience feels like one connected part of OceanOS instead of a bunch of separate features glued together.

👥 Meet the Crew

🤖 Lumos AI

You already know Lumos.

Now you can actually text, call, and video call Lumos directly from Messages.

👨 Alex

One of the new voices joining the OceanOS experience.

Text him, call him, or start a video call and see what happens.

👩 Sam

Another new Gemini-powered voice with their own personality and communication style.

🧔‍♂️ Maya

Yep, Maya is here too.

He’s fully integrated into Messages and ready to talk.

🌊 OceanOS Team

And of course…

the OceanOS Team.

Because sometimes you just need to talk to the people behind the ocean. 🌊🫡

🔐 Four Accounts. One Ocean.

When you first open Messages, you’ll be greeted with four account options:

• Guest
• Ocean Developer
• Personal
• Work

This makes Messages feel like an actual part of the operating system rather than just another app.

Different accounts.

Different conversations.

One OceanOS experience.

📞 Texting. Voice. Video.

This is probably the part I’m most excited about.

Messages isn’t limited to typing.

You can have a normal conversation through text, switch to a voice call, or jump into a video call.

And because these are all powered by the same Gemini integration, everything works together surprisingly smoothly.

I spent a LOT of time making sure the experience felt seamless.

No weird transitions.

No completely separate systems.

Just…

Messages.

🚀 👉 What’s Next?

I have a feeling this is going to open up a LOT of possibilities for OceanOS.

More voices.

More characters.

More integrations.

More ways to communicate.

And maybe even more things I probably shouldn’t be promising yet. 👀

But for now…

Messages is here.

Text them.

Call them.

Video call them.

Try all four accounts.

See what they say.

And most importantly…

Please don’t traumatize the OceanOS Team. 😭

🌊 Welcome to the next generation of OceanOS.

The ocean isn’t just a place you explore anymore.

It’s a place you can talk to.

Have fun. 🌊

🌊 OceanOS 4.0 — I Know You All Have Been Waiting For This

WOW. It has been a WHILE!

I put a LOT of work into OceanOS 4.0, and I genuinely think you guys are going to love it. If you thought OceanOS 3.0 was great, just wait until you see this.

⏱️ The 12 Hours of OceanOS 4.0

Hour 1 — Settings & Boot Screen

I upgraded the Settings app, fixed some long-awaited features, and completely redesigned the OceanOS boot screen.

Hour 2 — The Dock Saga 😭

I spent basically the entire hour trying to bring the dock back. Eventually, I gave up. 😭 I later figured out what was wrong, but I’m NOT spending another hour making a macOS-style toggle.

Psst… OceanOS 5.0. 😏

Hour 3 — Debugging

I found what felt like a hundred problems while testing everything. After an entire hour of debugging, I finally said:

“That’s good enough.”

Then I closed my laptop and went to bed.

Hour 4 — User Experience

I realized many of my apps weren’t user-friendly, so I redesigned a bunch of them and completely changed the Ocean Store design.

Hours 5 & 6 — Tiny Changes

Mostly small changes that somehow took forever. 😭 I also added several new apps.

Hour 7 — Start Launcher

I redesigned the Start Launcher and added even more apps to the Ocean Store.

Hour 8 — Tweaks

Added minor features, cleaned things up, and improved the code. At this point, OceanOS was looking REALLY good.

Hour 9 — SVG Era

I removed the old icons from the project and started converting everything to SVG.

Hour 10 — SVG Is NOT Easy

Probably the most stressful hour. Creating and refining SVGs took forever, but they turned out pretty great.

Hour 11 — Polish

I polished the SVG icons and improved the overall user experience.

Hour 12 — Final Push

I updated the project to use the new SVG icons, debugged everything, and added one more app…

🤖 Introducing: Lumos AI

Lumos AI uses Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Preview to actually speak with you. It can answer questions, communicate through voice, and support multiple languages.

Basically, you can actually talk to it. 😏

---

🌊 And Here We Are

OceanOS 4.0 is FINALLY here!

12 hours. Countless bugs. Way too much SVG. A questionable amount of sleep. And a LOT of ocean-themed code.

Enjoy! 😁

Devlog: New Features for Ship #2

Overview

Migrated OceanOS window layout from hardcoded positioning to a z-index-window layout system. This removes the need for manual position management across individual apps. Also added a notes app with suggestions and changed app positional settings.

Changes

Window Component (src/components/Window.tsx)

• Added Optional Positioning: x and y props are now optional with fallback defaults
• Added dynamic offset calculation: Windows now cascade based on their z-index value
  • Formula: baseOffset = (zIndex - 100) * 50px
  • Easy to Use Layout Management

Desktop Layout (src/components/Desktop.tsx)

• Removed hardcoded positions: All 8 app windows no longer have explicit x={...} and y={...} coordinates
• Made Prop Passing Easier: Windows now only define z-index, width, and height
• Windows automatically position themselves based on their stacking order

Notes App and Suggestions Configuration (src/apps/Notes.tsx)

• Created a Notes application with a suggestion box where users can give their opinion on OceanOS
• Configured the suggestion box to use JSON:

  export async function GET() {
    const suggestions = await readSuggestions();
    return NextResponse.json(suggestions);
  }

I spent the last 2 hours adding a web browser app (with an embed Wikipedia page) so that users can simulate a real web browser inside my operating system. I also added a transparent top bar to my project and a splash screen that opens when my website first loads. It has a ocean-colored progress bar and a nice ocean-themed background. Remember to go Full Screen so you can view the whole project!
