Devlog 5 - Encoder cover
I spent a short while just making a nice cover for the encoder on the pad, didn’t take me ages now that I’ve gotten a bit better at fusion. I think I will have to model my own key caps because none still seem to fit.

Devlog 4 - The Pad
The parts for my kit finally came recently and I got some time to put it together. After a while of assembling I finally flashed my firmware and got it all working, its the first time I’ve ever really soldered stuff and in my opinion its came out great. However I have ran into some issues, I completely forgot to record my assembly in lapse, my PCB doesn’t even fit into my case and the cut out for the screen was too small. On top of this the switches were so close together I had to snip the ends off. I have gone back through and just sorted the cut out of the screen and added some nice curves around the edges to make it overall nicer. I think the next things I do before I ship will be making sure it fits in the case, making a knob for the encoder and maybe making some really small keycaps due to my mistake of putting the switches so close
Devlog 8 - Saving Notes
I added the ability for notes to be saved to the browser so that even on a refresh of the page you could still use the notes already made. I spent a lot of time debugging this as it was super complex to get working but it finally works.
Devlog 7 - Second app
This app is a pretty basic app yet its still a little complicated to make. I had to clean up little bits of code from other things and adjust it to make it easier to make new apps and add onto the code that was already made. Styling was easy as it all uses one mostly universal theme. Notes can be saved and deleted however I want to add the ability to load them off of the desktop which I may work on.
Devlog 6 - Intro Animation
I cleaned up code to make it overall more optimised. The main thing I got to do was adding an intro animation to the site. It made it look a little fancier and reminiscent to the intro of subnautica itself. I got stuck getting text to show up on the page but after a bit of debugging I made the overlay work and now it works great
Devlog 5 - Click animation
This was way easier to make compared to the things I had to make before this, all it is, is a simple effect that plays when the desktop is clicked, its simple but I think looks nice and fits the theme overall of the site.
Devlog 4 - My first app
I created my first basic app for the webOS, it holds a little information about some of the creatures that can be found in subnautica. This has taken me a large amount of time of debugging and testing to get things to work such as window selection and styling. This was mainly due to javascript as I dont really have a big understanding on it.
Devlog 3 - Windows
After a bit of debugging I finally added the function to open and close the window, being able to actually get the windows to be moveable was less of a hassle. The javascript is set up to make making new windows easier for apps I created on the OS. Next is actually making my first app for this.
Devlog 2 - OS bar
I learnt a little more about javascript making this part of the WebOS as I had to use javascript in order to get the date and time to line up with the current time inside of the bar. I also decided to move where the was when I first created it to the bottom similar to how windows is. Finally I also made the welcome message which I thought was nicely made and im ready to make the moveable windows for the OS
Devlog 1 - The Start
I started creating my WebOS which is themed around subnautica, I added my profile picture and made it so that it can be clicked to get to my GitHub account, I also added a little photo of a pet I have.
Devlog 2 - griddle bot
I finished the bot, I added some extra commands than just the ping command such as the ability to see when star dance ends (its a rough guess but it should be around right) and some other commands that people can use. The final thing to do is host it so its available 24/7 and ship.
Devlog 1 - The Base
I started this project not knowing where to start however the guide really helped, I got the bot to respond to commands inside of slack and overall its doing basic things like responding to ping commands and such.
Devlog 3 - About me
This is the final page that I have made for my website its very simple but its still a nice looking page and overall looks pretty clean in my opinion. It has a nice box around the text as well as a bootstrap button with a SVG of GitHubs logo on there. I used the CSS I had made for the box around the about me and went back to the home page to also add it around the text there to make it look overall nicer.
Devlog 2 - Projects
This page was a little harder to make over the home page as I was struggling to align the cards of the projects in a way that I liked, it lead me to loop around trying different things until I finally got it to look the way I wanted it. I also went back the home page and added an image carousel which also has images of each project that was on the projects page.
Devlog 1 - Homepage
I have a fair bit of experience in making websites so making this was simpler that my other projects. I highly recommend to anyone attempting to make a website to use bootstrap as that making development at lot simpler while getting the look that you want.
