FINALLY, WE DID IT, 40 HOURS OF DEVELOPMENT!!

Now, the rework is finally done!!
I reorganized and simplified tons of things throughout the codebase, like merging repeated CSS blocks (identical headers, footers, and scrollbars), and created variables for text, borders, backgrounds, status colors, and things like that! :D

So now, instead of just having random hex colors and repeated values everywhere (not cool), everything is waaaay more organized now :D. Isn’t that nice?

And I also fixed a lot of bugs in the CSS:
The dark wallpaper overlay is back, now controlled by --desktop-dim.
Removed the duplicated .wallpaper-grid class.
Fixed the card grid so it only applies inside the Customization window.
Notes, Calculator, and Terminal now have their own mobile layout rules instead of overflowing the screen.
Guide and Device Manager are properly centered on smaller screens.
Signal Log and Customization now use clamp() to fit smaller displays.
Removed useless hover effects, unnecessary opacity rules, and unused CSS.

I also simplified tons of other things and fixed more issues than I expected. :D

BUT, THERE’S SOMETHING IMPORTANT!

PULSAR-OS has its own personality. The visual identity is basically fixed and WILL STAY like this. The important details and the app dimensions are still the same. I didn’t want to turn the whole project into smth generic just to make the code shorter.

The goal was to make the CSS cleaner, easier to understand, and more consistent, without losing what makes PULSAR-OS feel like PULSAR-OS.

THE REWORK IS DONE. PULSAR-OS IS STILL ALIVE!!

SEE YA IN THE NEXT ADVENTURE!!! :DDD

(btw, there are a lot of comments in Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) throughout the code, so feel free to use a translator if you want to read them! :D)

THE FINAL DEVLOG 😭😭😭😭😭😭

After days of fixing stuff, rewriting parts of javascript, css and testing EVERYTHING , FINALLY THE REMAKE IS READY!!!
but.. what changed?
Reworked JavaScript, Html and Css!
Fixed bugs and removed a LOT of unnecessary code.
Improved the interface and the interface of window manager.
Kept all apps, settings, and LocalStorage working 100%.
Tested the serial monitor and Device Manager with a Esp32 - STILL WORKS PERFECLY!
Cleaned lots of ai stuff and changed the logo made
with Ai

The hasdest part was definitely cleaning up the code without breaking the whole system, and honestly, sometimes there were moments when i genuinaly thought i was going to lose my mind and i really wanted to give up, but here we are, everything done :D

I need to reiterate one thing about the project: the browser DOES WORK. BUT, IT HAS SOME LIMITATIONS ABOUT THE SITE 𝙔𝙊𝙐 WANT TO ACESS!
Many sites refuse embedded viewing, while others allow it; it is up to you to research which ones do and which ones don’t.

Anyway, thanks a lot for reading. It was a headache getting all this done, and unfortunately, I couldn’t find a more practical way to fix it without rebuilding my entire code—but yaaah, here we are.

BUILD 1.0 (REMAKE) IS COMPLETE!

SEE YA NEXT PROJECT (or devlog, i dunno :D )

Actually, I’ve been developing Build 1.0 (the remake)! I’ve been fixing bugs, changing some AI stuff, deleting dead stuff from the CSS, cleaning up the code, and doing lots of other things like that!
But… what’s actually different?Wallpapers — They were all replaced with real photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope!
I also added a new tab where you can check the sources for all of them, with links to the official ESA pages.
Tiny differences — Some small design changes, like changing the opacity of the top bar and menu, plus a bunch of tiny things like that :D

I’m still developing and changing tons of stuff, so that’s it for now!
See ya :D

YEEEEEAH, I ACTUALLY DID IT :D

Remember when I said:
“PULSAR STARTED YESTERDAY. PULSAR SHIPS TODAY.”

WELL…

PULSAR SHIPPED.

After a LOT of debugging, testing, fixing things, breaking other things while fixing those things KKKKKKKK, and finishing the last parts of the system, PULSAR OS // BUILD 1.0 IS FINALLY DONE.

The last development phase was basically about making everything actually work together.

We finished all the applications, connected the hardware system, tested everything, fixed the remaining bugs and then cleaned and mapped the source code so that someone opening the project can actually understand WHERE EVERYTHING IS KKKKKKK.

And somehow, this thing now has:

NOTES // local storage + autosave
CALCULATOR // because every OS needs one :D
TERMINAL // commands, system tools and hardware communication
PULSAR WEB // a web interface inside a Web OS
SERIAL MONITOR // direct RX/TX communication with microcontrollers
DEVICE MANAGER // connected hardware information and management
GUIDE // documentation built directly into PULSAR
CUSTOMIZATION // wallpapers and system personalization

And yes, the hardware part WORKS.

For the final test, I connected an ESP32 to PULSAR and sent:

PULSAR > Hello ESP

And it answered:

ESP32 > Hello Pulsar!

:D

We also went through the HTML, CSS and JavaScript and mapped the different parts of the source code, so if someone wants to explore PULSAR or use it to understand how a Web OS like this works, the project is MUCH easier to navigate now.

And then…

WE PUT IT ONLINE.

Obviously, the first completely reasonable thing I did was open PULSAR inside PULSAR Web…

SO YES.

PULSAR CAN RUN PULSAR INSIDE PULSAR.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

This project started with me giving myself the incredibly stupid challenge of making an entire Web OS in basically one day.

Then I made the challenge worse.

Then I called it “50 YEARS IN 5.”

And now I’m looking at a finished Web OS with a desktop, apps, terminal, documentation, storage, hardware communication and its own little ecosystem.

So…

I think we’re done here :D

PULSAR OS // BUILD 1.0
SYSTEM // ONLINE
DEVELOPMENT … COMPLETE !!!!!!
SIGNAL // ACQUIRED

Thank you to everyone who followed these devlogs!

This was PULSAR.

BYE BYEEEE :D

SEE YA IN THE NEXT PROJECT!!!

— N1K

A STAR. A SIGNAL. AN INTERFACE.

OKAY, WE ARE DOING 50 YEARS IN 5 (Brazillian history class ref).
Remember when I said I would start AND finish PULSAR-OS yesterday??
Well… I decided to make that challenge EVEN WORSE KKKKKKKPULSAR already looks like an OS, but I don’t want it to just look like one.
I WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE ONE.
So I’m calling this next phase: 50 YEARS IN 5.
I’m basically speedrunning decades of OS features into PULSAR before shipping it today :D
And we already made some serious progress:STORAGE // ONLINEBOOT // WORKINGSYSTEM MENU // WORKINGCUSTOMIZATION // WORKING 0 ERRORS.
Now comes the insanity: apps, terminal, notes, calculator, search, documentation and, most importantly, the microcontroller/hardware system.
Is this reasonable?NO.
Are we doing it anyway?YEAH.
PULSAR STARTED YESTERDAY. PULSAR SHIPS TODAY.
SEE YA IN THE FINAL DEVLOG :D

YEEEAH PULSAR-OS IS ALIVE!!!!Sooo… I decided to give myself a pretty stupid challenge today:START AND FINISH AN ENTIRE WEB OS IN ONE DAY.Yep.I started PULSAR-OS TODAY, and my goal is to have the project finished and shipped before the end of the day KKKKKKKPULSAR is a web-based operating system / hardware interface that I want to use to interact with microcontrollers and some of my electronics projects :DAnd somehow, after almost 6 hours of work, this thing went from basically nothing to ACTUALLY LOOKING LIKE AN OPERATING SYSTEM.PULSAR already has multiple wallpapers, and you can change them directly through the customization window. I spent WAY too much time fighting bugs with this part, but IT FINALLY WORKS.BUT my favorite part so far is definitely the boot sequence!!The thing is: I started doing this today, and the mission? FINISHING IT TODAY TOO!I have only a few more hours left.SEE YA IN THE FINAL DEVLOG :D

IT IS FINALLY ALIVE!!!!!

After more than 20 hours of developing this project, fixing all the bugs.

MY PORTFOLIO REV.02 IS OFFICIALY ONLINE!!

Today i finished the last details, cleaned up the code, fixed the remaining bugs, pushed everything to github and deployed the site with the Github pages!

AAAND i also tested it on mobile and, somehow, IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD, NO BUGS, NO OVERSIZED STUFF….NOTHING!

So .. this was supposed to be just a portfolio, but it ended up becoming an site with my personality mixed up. No template, no framework- just html, css, javascript and a lot of time spent.

Soooo thats it, thanks for reading!

REV.02//ONLINE🟢

THE PORTFOLIO IS BASICALLY DONE!!!
After a LOT of work, I can finally say that the portfolio is basically finished :D
Today I finished the projects section! (I MADE GAMES TOO!!) Now every project has its own ID, status, image and GitHub, and you can click on them to open a little PROJECT FILE with more information.
I also added some of my old projects, including my first portfolio, which is really funny to see inside my new portfolio KKKKK
There are still some small things to fix, but that’s basically it.
I FINISHED IT!!!

YEAAAH THE PORTFOLIO HAVE A RADIO NOW!!

Today i worked mostly on improving some parts of my portfolio, especially the “NOW.PLAYING” panel, at first, it was supposed to be just a simple button to access my Spotify playlist… but well, things escalated REALLY quickly.

I wanted the panel to actually show some music, so i created a small playlist with some songs i like and built a random track system using JavaScript!

Now, every time the site starts, it randomly selects one of the songs and displays its name, artist and album cover.

but yeah, it wasn’t enough, not even close.

Each song also has its real duration stored in the system, so i made an ASCII playback bar:

PLAYBACK [|||||||||………….]

The timer progresses while the song is being displayed, and when it reaches the end, the site automatically chooses another random song and starts everything again!

I also made sure that the same song can’t be selected twice in a row :D

We originally tried using the Spotify API to automatically get the playlist data, but Spotify’s current requirements made that unnecessarily complicated for what i wanted to do. Sooooo… i just made my own little system instead KKKKKKKK ( Brazilian laugh)

After that, i spent some time improving the design: smaller typography, album covers with a thin green border, rounded corners, better spacing, centered controls and a bunch of tiny adjustments until everything finally looked right.

So now this tiny panel has: RANDOM TRACK SELECTION, ALBUM ART, REAL TRACK DURATIONS, ASCII PLAYBACK, AUTOMATIC TRACK SWITCHING, SPOTIFY PLAYLIST ACCESS….And somehow this all started because i thought:

“wouldn’t it be cool if NOW.PLAYING opened Spotify?”

…yeah.

I also prepared the GitHub repository for the portfolio and kept improving some of the site’s links and general design today.

There are still a LOT of things i want to build here — and i may or may not already have an idea involving the LOG.TERMINAL and some tiny games…

But that’s a problem for tomorrow :D

See ya!

Actually im developing my second portfolio cs i thought that the first one wasn’t cool enough YAAAAY!

I started doing it smth like 2 days before my test week, and kind of abandoned it ’till 2 days ago, with some simple ideas: Surpass the last Portfolio design; Creative design; Interactive Menu; show my project details; AND BE COOL.
Im gonna be honest, i am kinda a fan of that retro terminal aesthetic, brutalism, and that kind of style.
SOOOOOOO LETS START!!!

To start making my site i had some ideas: Adding a main panel, and inside of it (on the right side) a panel where i have sum things abt me, decoration ones, (now on the left side of the panel), a big decoration with 2 accesses, one to my github, and the other to show my other projects. The main image will work like a slide, changing itself after sum minutes to another image of another project.
im planning to add more things here, improve some design ideas, and things like that!
soooo thats it, hope u enjoy the idea, i personally think that we need to be bolder, and build things like this.

so stop thinking about it. - DO IT. see ya!
