this project has been switched to pixl, no more devlogs here

Would you look at that the app is finished!

This took way less time than usual but its like 500 lines o code, and a single py file, so like, what were you expecting?

So now I will ship-

flashbang

Oh you thought I was DONE?

How elementary of you!

You FORGOT!

I still have to make some default wallpapers, a website, a marketplace, documentation for making wallpapers!

you thought 500 lines of code and project done?

Noooooooo

Ok, so that happeend way quicker than expected,

I have a nice script for setting a wallpaper where it checks for the manifest and sets the wallpaper as your wallpaper, Here are a few examples.

• The Blackhole New Tab Blackhole! [Animated video]
• Cool Dyson sphere thingy! [Static Image]
• Aurora Thingy [HTML code generated]

This has more potential, so I’m gonna expand on this to make some defaults. I was planning on a cr wallpaper, a space themed wallpaper (prolly my blackhole), some procedurally generated wallpaper (like that medusa sim in lively wallpaper), and some are wallpaper that parallaxes.

Well this app displays.html files as wallpaper, so naturally the 1st step was to get an .html file to be my wallpaper, some Stack Overflow later, I have this test wallpaper as my… wallpaper, I’m still working so patience!

OOOHH YES, I finished the update, and fixed the icons issue by adding MORE icon providers (namely Icon horse, AND Unavatar, beside from the google favicon)

I also added some more QOL features:

• You can MOVE ICONS ON THE TASKBAR NOW (very quick implementation, so kinda animationless and basic, just drag it!)
• A “Show Seconds” setting.

Well now i SHIP

Uhh ok, so I finished the javascript and thus the project.

I submitted it to ms edge addons ofr review.

Went on 3 day trip

Came back, it got approved!

Tried it myself

Bugs

:(

(see how the extension failed to grab an icon for instagram, so its just a gray box with the letter I in it, my designed fallback, and the youtube logo is like, rlly low res?)

I need to push v 1.1

HOLY WORK

I spent 4 hours on the HTML and CSS of this thing.

I made a class for the windows mica look (ik it looks viecoded but trust),

I just used my desktop as inspo for this + Win 11 lockscreen.

I am planning on adding a blue version of this ud idk how i havent even egun with the .js

baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

AAAAND ITS DONE

the github is ready, I ahve committed all changes, you can download the releases, bugs fixed all done!

Now i press ship!

Hope it goes well

ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!

So I decided to redo the entire blackhole video…

and oh boy, this looks AMAZING!!

I’m happy with this and it is final!!

Watch the Lapse Recording to see how I did it!

baiiiiiiiiiiiii

I just added a warning saying that you need vlc to use some tools.

I need to add a log system.

OH MY GOD

I JUST SPENT 4 HOURS ON A LAUNCHER APP

WTFFF

Ok I kinda feel ashamed yeah but…. I used AI

In my defense it was for a bulk, tedious task - converting all tool.py files to .exes, and then because pyinstaller hates me, delete them and redo it with slightly diff settings for like an hour, so I installed opencode and made the AI go through the suffering, not me, But GLM
did a good job with only like 3 prompts so I don,t care, but all works now!

Now the only thing left is the main app that handles all tools, and like gives user easy toggle to turn on/turn off/ use all these tools

baiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
(avengers assemble! ahh screenshot)

Well, lapse wasn’t working yesterday so it is working now, so I am writing my 1st devlog for this project today,

So i needed a good looping video of a blackhole, i didnt want to go to stockfootage and I can’t use blender…..

So I made it in Geometry Dash .

Not gonna lie tho, it looks PEAK

See the Lapse Recording here

baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Ok so I made the icons for Hyprtools and saved them, also for the tools that lived in the system tray, I replaced the temp icons with the actual thing, taking some help from my newly acquired github copilot for student!

Also uhh, I forgot to down the icons as transparent images so i had to do that later.

Lapse recording

This is one of the icons, watch the timelapse for the full catalog!

GUYS
…
ITS OFFICIAL
…
I TOUCHED GRASS

jokes aside i just added strikethru support to the render_md func in my program, that yk, renders markdown, alongside some tweaks and a setting for whether the sidebar needs to be opened on launch

Tomorrow will be a big one: File Generation

I’ll just port it from my ‘Anything AI’ project, with tweaks to make it similar to claude’s ‘artefacts’ system (kinda), so you will get the option to view file, and the option to actually permanently download the generated file.

baiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Well, HCAI was down today until 2 hours ago…
so I wasnt able to do anything substantial, very small devlog, baiii

(image unrelated)

ooooo

I have went out and made some mockups for the hackly UI in tkinter with sv_ttk, sadly none of these are functional and just displays static data from my testing with the app when, well… it wasn’t quite an app.

The following appened images show:

• The app, open
• The app, open, sidebar open with one chat
• The app, open, open chat, sidebar open
• The small bar above the prompt bar for showing attached files:)

again, these are NOT functional yet, im gna do that tomorrow

YEAHH

After quite the break, 1 hour, and 24 minutes, HyprOCR is ready! It just reads text from images (uses WindowsOCR engine in the background). There is not really anything special about it so well… baiiiiiiiiiii
