Last devlog before I ship! I added yet another easter egg (i couldnt help myself 😅) They change depending on what mode you’re in (light/dark). Besides that, I fixed a couple of errors that i was saving for the end. I wanted the OS to be as smooth as possible (enjoyable as well but that comes second). Biggest change of all: I changed the name from Middle-earth OS to Wanderlust OS because I felt it fit my project better. I’m ready to ship!

I’m getting closer to shipping. I added two more fun buttons near the top: one is a memory window that tracks all the apps u opened and all the easter eggs u foundd , (i connected all the apps, buttons and easter eggs to this window; it counts each first time u click on it) the other is kinda like another easter egg. I fixed up a lot of the layering i didnt want the easter eggs/animations to get in the way of the user when theyre using any apps so i fixed up a lot of that as well. I cleaned up a lot of other code as well. I also learnt that I kept typing ‘colour’ instead of ‘color’ in a lot of places 😅😅 so i hit find & replace for those. I then spent some time improving the intro window and intro video I made it more appealing. Im happy with the work now actually. Ive come along way from the personal site mission. (o゜▽゜)o☆

Today i added i worked on the js for the easter eggs and and added a few more interactive features. the OS looks more alive now!!!! i love itttttt. They’re still kinda glitchy and i will be trying to figure out the problemmm.. toodles!} 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

phew, added plenty of easter eggs today. some of them fly across the screen and some are hidden and takes a little exploring to find them. I want to make my os as interactive and not boring as possible so im gonna work more on that from tmrw. oKiE

hiya. i was fixing the sizing and locations of a few widgets. I spent most time trying to place the location pins on the right places in the map. i was able to do it for a couple of locations but not all. (it TAKES a long time). i also uploaded the images for the icons. I still havent thought of a good idea for the doodle app icon but itll hit me soooon. 🫨🫨

hellooooo. i added an intro video today. (idk why i didnt think to add one until now, i only remembered when i went through all the amazing projects uploaded to this mission). Besides the 2 hrs logged, i spent designing the leftover logos (i didnt find the emojis to fit the style). The coding mostly involved me trying to get the widgets to cooperate. The dragging was glitchy then there would some random small error that made everything else stop working. basically today wasnt really coding heavy but fixing a lot of things and improving the feel. (o゜▽゜)o

i worked on adding widgets today. was really difficult cuz i had no experience with that level. I wanted to reuse functions from the weather app for the weather widget. I tried but i couldnt :(. I wrote a whole new function for the widget itself. for now, i added some basic widgets such as calendar, weather and clock (they arent draggable yet tho, also im not feeling the clock design, prolly will change it later). Will definitely add more creative ones along the way :)

i added an interactive sparkly cursor today. Also added features within 2 apps : user can add their own events to the calendar, a clear all feature in the doodle app. i was also on the hunt for excerpts to add to the library app.

was putting out fires all over the place today. Some windows kept opening INSIDE other windows! turns out it was because of a single missing closing div tag🙇‍♀️it took me soooo long, Besides all that i fixed up the library app and added a new map app. I improved some of the other apps as well.

Got more work done today than the past few days. I added two apps! a doodle app and a a library app (just lotr excerpts for now). The pdf viewer seriously did not want to open. It really took some time to get that working. also the window resizing isnt really that great there are a lot of problems. More tomorrow!

I added a calendar app today! only worked on the html and js. need to finish the css as well to match the overall theme. its also still kinda buggy.

today i worked on fixing up the weather app and modifying most of the error handling code. I also debugged a lot of the window opening and closing issues.

mainly worked on improving the css and ui today. also spent an hour or two on design a few elements in canva.

Add little glowy effects and little animations to the windows and the app icons. I also added light mode and dark mode to the os. Also, it may say I spent 2 hours coding but besides that I have spent another two working on the design aspect in canva (i wanted to add easter eggs like i did in my personal site mission). I still feel the UI just isnt…it. ig itll take a bit more trial and error to get it there. :))

Worked on improving the weather app today (i learned how to connect one to a site firstt). Then i worked on adding a settings app that can allow the user to choose wallpapers and light/dark mode. it looks pretty okay now but i definitely need to improve the ui BY FAR. tomorrow!

Added hover effects to the app icons. Started working on making the palantir a weather forecast app. I went through the article about it on geeksforgeeks first (because i was kinda clueless) and i learnt that it’s not super difficult. I started work on it and it’s actually going good. more tomorrow!

Now the os has 3 simple apps: Notes, Timer and Gallery. Current time is displayed on the bottom right. The windows are draggable and resizable.

More work done. The windows are now draggable and can be opened and closed. I added a simple note taker (with add, delete, clear and view functions). I started working on a timer app today. (but there’s some error (it better not be a missing bracket/letter in a variable cuz those are so hard to find 🙏)). More work tomorroww.
