Finally finished working on the case after many struggles. This took forever, as I’m kinda terrible at CAD.

I did some in Fusion360, and some in Onshape. I went for the sandwich mount style :)

Made some logos, fixed bugs, made some changes to the bottom bar, added the smallz.dev desktop app, and more!

I struggled a bit because I called the ID “portfolioClose” in my script.js, but in the html I forgot that it was case sensitive and wrote it as “portfolioclose”. All sorted now though. :)

Also the code is now deployed on a subdomain of my website!

Completed part 3 of the Jam.

1. Fixed an issue with the bottom bar glitching (which was caused due to sizing).

1. Added my own custom made close, drag, and full screen buttons (full screen doesn’t work yet though).

1. I’ve made the windows draggable, closable, and openable. To open the welcome window, you need to click the Solar OS text on the bottom bar currently, but I plan to change it next update.

Thank you!

Completed part 2 of the Jam. In this update, I’ve finished the time (which refreshes every sec), adde d a top bar, added a background, added a nice looking border, and maybe some other things I’m forgetting as well.

It ended up being a lot simpler than i thought it would be to get to this part.

Thanks for reading

Made it look a little more nice, including adding an image, changing the layout slightly, and fixing the previously terrible looking button. I kept changing the CSS to make it way better in my opinion.

Now I’m done with step one of the jam, moving onto stage 2.

Also published it to github now, so you can see the source code and the commits!

I’ll try to commit every devlog from now on, but sometimes i might forget.

Worked on the basics and the FAQ. I’m going to move the FAQ into my welcome message later but yeah. Just for the first 15m i did basically a set up.

Worked on and finished the bottom part of my case! I just need to do the top now, which is a bit harder so I decided to get a 3D model of the board so i can make my case around it.

I was also fiddling around with inserting 3D models. The models were hard to fit perfectly, so it took a while.

I originally tried adding them in fusion, but then realised halfway through it would’ve been too hard inserting the other components as well.

1st image - kicad, 2nd image - where i switched from fusion to kicad, 3rd image - completed bottom case

Finished working on my schematic and PCB!!!

I had to use a pin expander because even if I used the matrix method, I would’ve been one pin short :/.

Anyways thanks for reading!!

Wired stuff. Had to rewire everything like 2 different times because i messed up and missunderstood how schematics work. Now I should be good. I’m one pin short, so I also researched ways I can fix it. I’m working on that now.

Started working on my hackpad. Just did the basic bit of the tutorial.

Issue I faced (not apart of total time): I accidentally deleted a symbol library at the start which took about 3 hours for me to find out what I did wrong 😭 .

I made a .json storage file. Now every time you break your records, it gets saved! You can now your stats using /yaknow-roll-leaderboard. This took FOREVER including research. :)

Note: the bots currently not on 24/7 yet, I’ll probably do that next.

It’s taken me a while to do these simple tasks but basically I’ve added a /yaknow-cat command that displays cat images from an API. This took me a while because I hadn’t realised that you needed to make it an attachment for slack to display it.

I also make a /yaknow-roll command that’s an rng that rolls a number between 1 and 1 million. It’s going to be a game where you need to try and get the highest or lowest number. A leaderboard will then display these high/small roles.

I spent a while figuring out how to save stuff to a json file (I watched a tutorial for some of it), however it currently only saves the most recent roll, slack id, and a timestamp. I’m going to fix all that next update hopefully.

Bugs I’ve noticed: There’s currently a bug I just noticed as I’m writing this, if you get lucky it sends 2 messages (lucky and unlucky). This should be a quick fix for the next update.

Note: My nest has been accepted, I’m going to try set that up after I’m done writing this blog :)

Started my slackbot called ‘YaKnow’. Spent a lot of time reading the guide, setting up github and slack, etc. Basic commands work now.

I just applied for Nest, so it’s currently only online when I run it for testing.

Updated visuals to be more appealing, and I experimented with some colours. Also I added images and places I want to go in my travel section, which took a while and I kept messing up. Hope you like it.

It’s going well so far. Updated the site to look more visually appealing. Also added more info and a contact me page on the website.

I have officially started, made my portfolio working, and look a bit better. Although I’m still learning, I think I’ve made some good progress. I’m kinda going for a space vibe to fit hackclubs space theme.
