From now on, the Modern Corporate Styling comes with it’s own companion, Tappy dressed up real nice for all the occasions he might meet new people!
Today, I could proudly roll out Tappy, a new face for the Card-Editor. Integration took longer than expected, because getting it into the Export-HTML required encoding him into Base64 and then packaging that into the JS-File, but it all worked out!
Disclaimer: Tappy the Fox was refined by AI. Sketches and prompting all done by me.
PS.: Landing Page still to be redone!
Today I made a quick Landing Page mockup (!!!) using AI.
I will later on make it on my own, but I needed to check how I’ll design it and make it work with pages,
and just don’t have enough time today to write the testing page by hand.
Again, please excuse and i’ll change it later.
Hope you like it though, as the design will probably stay pretty much the same.
While nothing has changed from the outside, I have moved the inline styling from HTML to it’s own css, which I should’ve done in the first place.
I did it today (while on vacation), because I’m planning on doing a massive redesign of the Editor, which is just way easier with HTML,CSS and JS all on their own.
Today I added 4 new features:
The new System-Font is now “VT323”
The new app, “Calc-95” is a basic calculator using Js-logic
The new Taskbar allows to minimize apps and see wich are currently open, as before you could only overlap apps wich just wasnt great tbh.
You can now export your notes written in MicroMemo using the “export” button, wich will then download a .txt to save any important notes!
I let AI take hand of the hosting process, and thus of the JS-Part, wich then caused a problem of me not understanding code, which shouldve been my own.
Please excuse my wrongdoing, as it wont happen again
I can happily announce that I have rewrittenn the code, using the skeleton AI gave me before, now, I managed to keep it way simpler and down to earth, actually understanding what I’m writing, while keeping the look (to the best of my skills) the same as before.
I’m really sorry for what happened, but thus even happier of how it turned out now!
Thanks for you patience with me.
Also please excuse my english, it is not my first language.
An interactive space dashboard that displays the daily NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). It features an integrated digital clock, an accurate asset age calculator, and a modern design.
Despite strictly following the guide, the website initially refused to work after deploying to GitHub Pages. While everything executed perfectly in the local environment, the live production site was stuck displaying a frustrating “403 Forbidden” network error.
The issue turned out to be an invisible barrier between the automated GitHub Actions pipeline and how Vite injects environment variables (the hidden NASA API key):
undefined). The NASA API automatically blocks these requests.By introducing programmatic live tests (such as a temporary browser pop-up to inspect the live key status), the bug was systematically isolated.
Once the secret names were perfectly aligned, duplicated to both global and environment levels, and the GitHub build cache was forced to reset via a clean push, the roadblock collapsed. Despite the intense troubleshooting, I managed to fix the entire pipeline and successfully launch the project in a single evening. The direct feed to NASA is stable, and the live dashboard is fully operational.
Finalized the new Apps!
I just pushed the final updates for RetrOS. PixelPaint and RetroPet are officially implemented, working and the design look clean with the new icons!
Also cleaned up some code before pushing everything to GitHub. The project is basically done now and ready for review. Thanks for checking out RetrOS!
#Devlog 2
Did not manage to get done as much today, but I did add 2 new Designs.
#Whats new:
There are now to more Design: “Dark Hacker” and “Sunset Minimal”. Dark Hacker is supposed to give off a CLI-Kind of Vibe using a black/green color scheme, while Sunset Minimal is made considering HackClubs Design Language and colors.
#Hope you enjoy it!
Quick update on what changed and what’s next for the project.
editor.html to index.html. Now the editor loads instantly when you open the link.script.js so the downloaded ZIP still contains a clean index.html for your NFC card, without messing up the editor..vcf contact cards on different iOS and Android phones to make sure it saves perfectly everywhere.I managed to finalize HobbyTrack and overhauled my Code to make it mor comfortable for me to keep building on it.
Im going to add 1-2 more Apps the coming days, tho so far the GitHub Pages Site is now up and running, so feel free to go test RetrOS! (Also learned how to use Markdown as you can see hehe)
Did a “little” rebranding, just felt more appropriate.
Hope yall like the new RetrOS as much as I do! (vers0.1.5)
