Finally managed to get the trash directory working, need to make the folders work for this, but it should hopefully be a lot easier now that I know how the files work. Also need to fix the thumbnail things for the trash directory cuz I think it’s crashing the backend for some reason.

Got a knockoff API working, but I’ve also put in some time to try and figure out the official youtube API stuff since this one could technically break at any point if Youtube decides to change how their platform works.

I got the basic stuff done. Namely draggable windows, opening and closing em, as well as the time on the task bar. Tried to fulfill the reqs for the webOS 1 mission as fast as I could given the fixed payout, but my decision to put it on a Vite React project made it take longer than it should’ve, so I think I can count that as my non-tutorial feature (though I didn’t even get to use the tutorial that much since I had to change so much of the code to make it work in the way I wanted it to.)

Got the basic idea done, should be able to qualify for WebOS 1 given that I made this in React which made it kinda a doozy to figure out how to translate the code to here.

Because of a lot of my older work, reimplementing file uploads was pretty easy, but it took me awhile to figure out that the errors saying the upload failed were because of remnants of code still trying to connect to the DB, lol.

Got the “Parent Bar” to show nested directories and made you able to go back through them individually. Probably will need to add a … thingy at some point for longer directories, but it should be able to fit a lot of em for now tho.

Finally got to fixing the random backend crashes. Admittedly most of what I did was just paste stuff into ChatGPT, but thankfully the fixes were pretty easy (as you could probably tell by the dev time. It was pretty much just using a slightly wrong variable name in some places.) Hopefully with this fix I won’t have to be having to figure out whether or not the stuff I built is actually working or ghosting me, lol.

Turns out getting the stuff to work on subsequent directories was pretty easy. All I needed to do was change the :id at the end of the routes to /* then the params.id to just params[0] to grab the whole route. I’ve been sent on wild goose chases to figure out why some stuff wasn’t working, only to find it later just working despite me only writing debug lines. Also need to figure out why the backend sometimes just randomly crashes since it forces me to manually restart the website which is kinda annoying.

Got the main stuff laid out on the home page. Still need to integrate some stuff like the art portfolio widgets and whatnot, but that’s going to come in when my google drive clone thingy is further along in completion. Other stuff like the discord widget and nuggets of wisdom are intended to be further worked on, but it is in a good state for right now I think.

Almost finished the mockup. Added random scrolling thing cuz I saw it in someone else’s personal site, lol (It was a thing I was thinking of putting in anyways though. Scrolling’s a nice touch for it tho.)
