I researched on which components are best for a split keyboard, and made Decisions on how the final design will look :

What i’ve decided :

• The Keyboard will be completely wireless

• It will be split in two symmetrical halves (split keyboard, duh)

• It will use a Supermini nrf52840 microcontroller for both halves

• It will follow the standard Corne layout instead of a bigger one - Corne layout means 3x6 switch matrix with 3 thumb keys per half, which means it will have 42 total keys

• It will use a 110 mAh battery instead of 600, as otherwise it would’nt fit under the microcontroller, and the case could’nt be as low-profile as i want

• It will have 2 OLED’s - most probably one for layers (im a kb warrior) and one for battery level/connectivity

• I decided against backlighting as it causes HUGE battery drain, and my microcontroller is cheap, but the tradeoff is a bigger battery consumption

• im havent decided if i will use the official Cherry mx switches which are expensive (dollar per key) or cheap ones (0.30cts a key)

• I will use 1 reversible PCB instead of a breakoff pcb that u split down the middle with mousebites

Next steps :

• I will have to first find footprints and symbols for all the components - all i found till now is the symbol and footprint for microcontroller
• Then i will make my Schematic with all components, then arrange and wire the PCB
• Then i will depending on my final PCB, I will make a case according to how i want it to feel and how low/high profile it should be, how thick, mounting method, etc.

Fixed final minor bugs, pushed final version to GitHub, and used Vercel to deploy !

Im pretty much done now, and am pretty proud of the end result - check out the page here :

I would love to hear some feedback / get some bug reports - feel free to check it out and let me know what you think in the comments !

Fixed all bugs from last time, did all TODO’s

also added polish, animations, etc.

fixed some buggy features

Added content to apps, a spotlight app search, and other polish features such as right clicking desktop, a music player, etc

Still TODO :

• sync the dock volume bar with the settings volume bar and remove vol bar from music app.
• make the buttons for notes look better - right now they are wierd and grey
• fix brightness slider - when adjusted it just turns screen and background white
• make calculator look better
• Make text in panda profile bigger, and make window in total bigger along with everything inside it
• add song status bar (how long it has been playing , a loading bar dude, like in spotify) above the play and pause and so buttons
• delete about from spotlight
• add more css to all apps

Finished the Homepage and core logic for my WebOS

What was done :

• Added background image
• Changed font to look a little more terminal-y
• finished core window dragging logic
• made a close button for the windows
• time and date display on bottom right
• fake (for now) volume slider
• placeholder “Apps” including projects placeholder, sysmon (fake system stats display), terminal (again placeholder)
• Core logic for which window is in foreground and which in back (drawing layers)

TODO :

• replace placeholders with actual content (i can copy a bit from my portfolio website :P )
• add a favorite music playing app (and subsequently make volume slider actually adjust volume)
• push to github
• decide on next features to add

Fixed demo link to be correct

Finished firmware with QMK - needed deepseek to carry me through this part t-t

Also made README.md for entire project

Finished 3D model for PandaPad ! Added all 3D models - for Components, PCB, body, case, plate, and switch matrix plate.

Decided on mounting method (sandwich mount), imported PCB, and created Plate for Switch Matrix

FIXED : Stupid mistake on my part - forgot to expose Microcontroller USB Port and had to move, rotate and rewire

Finished wiring and arranging PCB for PandaPad !

Finished Schematic for the PandaPad !

Added a contact and feedback form, and reworked my projects tab to add a bunch of my previous (and currently finished for stardance) projects, and worked on a cool file explorer way to display.

Done :

• added CTRL + h/l to move between tabs, your progress in all tabs but form gets saved

• updated README.md to include all pages and Keybinds

• added 404 page with ASCII art

• got rid of bad icons and replaced with simple ASCII ones

• reworked nav bar at top to look better and show projects as directory that updates according to selected “file” which is really just a project

• pushed to github

Made a About Me tab instead of Contact :

• added a description, pfp, some tags, and my socials

Finished Homepage :

Neovim style homepage finshed:

3 different tabs that lead to branches of main website, and a tab that takes you to my github neovim config repo

Scroll through tabs with h, j, k and l (like in neovim)
press Enter to be taken to the page (dummy pages for now)

select with cursor / press v to enter visual mode -> y to copy, p to paste

Added bufferline (line in the plugin) at the top which shows current page in fun file formats

Uploaded project to PyPI, pushed to GitHub, and added pip install as Installation method in readme

turned the .py file into an actual cli package and tested - did some troubleshooting.

What i did :

• Added a contant running flag (-bg for backgorund), that lets it constantly watch for files in the given directory and then sorts them according to instructions

• added a simple banner that displays whenever the command is run

• made it easy to start and stop it in the background
