This is my ship for the WebOS 2 mission. It’s built off of the original WebOS mission site but even flashier. The notes app I have created is what I am the most proud of because notes can be saved and loaded even if the page is refreshed. It was complicated getting all of it to work but I’m really happy and enjoyed getting it to a finished state.

Devlog 8 - Saving Notes
I added the ability for notes to be saved to the browser so that even on a refresh of the page you could still use the notes already made. I spent a lot of time debugging this as it was super complex to get working but it finally works.

Devlog 7 - Second app
This app is a pretty basic app yet its still a little complicated to make. I had to clean up little bits of code from other things and adjust it to make it easier to make new apps and add onto the code that was already made. Styling was easy as it all uses one mostly universal theme. Notes can be saved and deleted however I want to add the ability to load them off of the desktop which I may work on.

Devlog 6 - Intro Animation
I cleaned up code to make it overall more optimised. The main thing I got to do was adding an intro animation to the site. It made it look a little fancier and reminiscent to the intro of subnautica itself. I got stuck getting text to show up on the page but after a bit of debugging I made the overlay work and now it works great
This WebOS is themed around subnautica, I found alot of the javascript challenging, understanding how to make the code and ensuring it all works too without any issues took me a while, this was why one of the devlogs had 6 hours logged. I am really proud of the project overall and I really liked how I started to understand JavaScript to make some of the features I wanted such as the sonar effect when the desktop thing.

Devlog 5 - Click animation
This was way easier to make compared to the things I had to make before this, all it is, is a simple effect that plays when the desktop is clicked, its simple but I think looks nice and fits the theme overall of the site.

Devlog 4 - My first app
I created my first basic app for the webOS, it holds a little information about some of the creatures that can be found in subnautica. This has taken me a large amount of time of debugging and testing to get things to work such as window selection and styling. This was mainly due to javascript as I dont really have a big understanding on it.

Devlog 3 - Windows
After a bit of debugging I finally added the function to open and close the window, being able to actually get the windows to be moveable was less of a hassle. The javascript is set up to make making new windows easier for apps I created on the OS. Next is actually making my first app for this.

Devlog 2 - OS bar
I learnt a little more about javascript making this part of the WebOS as I had to use javascript in order to get the date and time to line up with the current time inside of the bar. I also decided to move where the was when I first created it to the bottom similar to how windows is. Finally I also made the welcome message which I thought was nicely made and im ready to make the moveable windows for the OS

Devlog 1 - The Start
I started creating my WebOS which is themed around subnautica, I added my profile picture and made it so that it can be clicked to get to my GitHub account, I also added a little photo of a pet I have.

Griddle Slack Bot
Making my bot was challenging as it uses javascript, which isn’t something that I am familiar with, I will say the guide helped a lot as well as researching how to do different things online. Overall im proud of the entire project and that I completed it as it seems like a more daunting task than it fully is.

Devlog 2 - griddle bot
I finished the bot, I added some extra commands than just the ping command such as the ability to see when star dance ends (its a rough guess but it should be around right) and some other commands that people can use. The final thing to do is host it so its available 24/7 and ship.

Devlog 1 - The Base
I started this project not knowing where to start however the guide really helped, I got the bot to respond to commands inside of slack and overall its doing basic things like responding to ping commands and such.

My Personal Site
This personal site had its challenges as I would forgot little things such as ensuring that the CSS file was referenced or that once I had published it on GitHub that everything had broken such as images and CSS just due to the way that file paths work. Overall im really proud with how the website turned out

Devlog 3 - About me
This is the final page that I have made for my website its very simple but its still a nice looking page and overall looks pretty clean in my opinion. It has a nice box around the text as well as a bootstrap button with a SVG of GitHubs logo on there. I used the CSS I had made for the box around the about me and went back to the home page to also add it around the text there to make it look overall nicer.

Devlog 2 - Projects
This page was a little harder to make over the home page as I was struggling to align the cards of the projects in a way that I liked, it lead me to loop around trying different things until I finally got it to look the way I wanted it. I also went back the home page and added an image carousel which also has images of each project that was on the projects page.

Devlog 1 - Homepage
I have a fair bit of experience in making websites so making this was simpler that my other projects. I highly recommend to anyone attempting to make a website to use bootstrap as that making development at lot simpler while getting the look that you want.

Smart Downloads Organizer
I made a python script to help users organize their downloads folder. Being able to make the tool work without bugs was the most challenging part. Overall I’m proud that I managed to complete the tool.

Devlog 1
I have spent about 5-6 hours creating a tool to fix an issue many has, the tool sorts files into type based folders and catches duplicate files by the hash. It also flags old files that haven’t been touch in a while. It was built in python and used Tkinter. I definetly learnt a thing or two with python on this project.

Devlog 3 - The Case
After completing the schematic and the PCB I moved onto designing the case. This took me a while as this was the first time I had try to model something. I looked between onshape and fusion however fusion ultimately seemed to be the best software to use. After getting a slight understanding of the tool I made the case and it come out very nice. Next is the actual software.
