BUILDING

I was working in 5 min intervals for the sticky streak but gave up today and decided to finish everything today :D.

While building I realized that my oled display pins went through the XIAO.. so i had to improvise a bit and make the xiao float.

I flashed the xiao and i have only 3 out of 9 keys working oops.

The hole in my case for the display was also too small so i had to use my soldering iron to melt it and expand it im a bit worried for my lungs tbh

Now ima try to figure out how to make the other keys and the oled display work wee

Update

The screen and all my keys work! I was using qmk keycodes that didn’t work on windows that’s why 6 of the keys weren’t working :D

Pre-ship adjustments

I’m shipping it, finally!
I tried to make the user experience better by making the design more coherent (grayscale), although I am planning to add a lot more undertale references.
I also changed my footprints color to contrast more with the yellow background. The countdown looks a little better, i removed some overlapping gaps that made everything look awkward but it’s better now!

i COMPLETELY changed the design of my OS to be full on undertale

I found an amazing undertale css pack by chance and loved it so much so i went from wow blue aesthetic to undertale yay. I still have some customization to do

I changed the close button to a heart and when you hover on it it becomes a broken heart im really proud of that

I’m also almost done with the to do app the tasks are just not overflowing the way I want them to

new ideas:

• music player to play undertale songs
• map to make wallpaper change based on map location
• have a preload screen that makes you choose your location and choose character

I’m done with the guide up to the CSS styling part :D, ill now personalize it and hopefully ship it soon!

countdown working!

I made it look a little better but I’m not completely satisfied yet. You can now edit and delete countdowns, change precision and some other stuff but now I want to work on making windows pinnable :^

I also want make a todo list app, I’m really thinking of making this OS my study compagnion haha but idk if its too basic for this mission. But anyways ill do it for myself not the stardust hee hee haw haw

Countdown app

I added a countdown app/widget for some motivation so you can have something to look forward to! The CSS is definitely lacking so I will work on it once im done with JS.
It was a bit hard to convert every input and change precision but I figured it out thanks to W3S.

I still need to:

• Show a list of the cooldowns in the main window and make them editable and deleteable
• Make the new window closeable & pinnable
• Make the time input optionnal
• Make an icon for the app
• Find a way to save changes? (maybe)

First feature done

My notes app is now cooler:

• Footprints instead of a text based sidebar
• Links open in new tab
• Upon first opening of the app, only footprints show on a grassy field
• Animations on footprints and sidebar after clicking the first footprint

Things to add after finishing other features:

• More notes content
• A way to go back to the grassy field

To work on next

• More animations
• Gamify Skeletale app

Devlog

My side bar is now a menu? I made it so that content will only show after clicking on the footsteps (not yet but that’s the goal).
For that, I need to write a new function in Java Script and add a blue grassy background to match with the cloudy background.
My animations are now smoother as I added transitions and larger margins so that the icons getting bigger don’t impede on the other ones.
I also added hover text so that we can know which story is selected when hovering on each footstep.

WebOS 2

It’s been a month since I didn’t work on this so I forgot how to code a little. Looking at my old code is helping me remember the coding though.

First new feature (Working on this)

As my first new feature, I am revamping my True Notes app side bar. I want to change to to footsteps I can click on. As of now, I only imported the image and made the footprints appear for each entry.
I have yet to make them as a path, center them and just have a better general layout.

Second new feature

I want to have hover animations. Eg if I hover on the footprints they get bigger, hovering on an app would change the top bar of the window header, etc.

Third feature

I haven’t really thought about it yet, either I’ll make my Skeletale app more interactive by changing back and next buttons to directly clicking on the skeleton either I will make a new app

Firmware

I finished my case so I have been trying to figure out how to do the firmware on QMK, so I thought about switching to KMK since I already know how to code in Python. In the end I just stuck with QMK since I was already almost done. Here is my layout:

Case

I have been working on Onshape to make the case. Getting famiiliar with the platform took a long time before I could do something.

I finished the case but I should adjust the USB port, it can be done later.

I had to adjust it because I figured that I had flipped XIAO on my PCB but didn’t do it on my 3D model so I wasted a little bit of time.

Right now my switches are in place but there still is a strange gap between the key holes and the switches so I have to fix that.

I also have to add the LED screen in the assembly.

I think I will be done after that!

I added grids to show images of my favorite things! I also linked multiple websites.

I didn’t spend too much time on styling since it has fixed payout but I added background colors for the body, navigation bar and for each section. I also changed the font. For each section, I also have rounded solid borders

I worked on the index.html file and am going to add styling with CSS.

Done!

Almost done with my second app

• My second app is an anatomical map of myself inspired by Undertale (not really, it’s just a pixelized skeleton). I just really like anatomy in general so I thought this would represent me well. I assigned a part of myself to many bones, the text is just placeholder right now, I will develop on it later.
  -I added back and next buttons for navigation to make it simpler than a side bar, It also takes less space
• I finished my first app a while ago but I do want to change the layout in WebOS 2 (have some art & a better side bar)

Right now my goals for tomorrow are to:

• Put the back&next buttons inside the window
• Hide the skeleton image on the first tab of the app
• Zoom on each bone for each body part or have a heart cursor that goes in each body part like in Undertale
• Finish the content
