Devlog #3

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Devlog #3 of Starmap Generator.

Hope you all are doing great.

Today was… a long one.

I ended up spending around 5 hours working on the project, and honestly, most of that time was just coding, testing, breaking things, fixing them, and repeating the whole process again.

Now here’s something funny.

For some reason, my time tracker decided that today’s 5-hour session was actually… 1 hour.

I have absolutely no idea how that happened.

So if the analytics ever tell you I barely worked today, just know they’re lying. 😅

The Website Is Finally Alive

The biggest update is that the project has officially become semi-functional on the web.

It’s definitely not finished yet, but the frontend and backend are finally talking to each other.

Seeing everything actually work inside a browser instead of only running locally feels like a huge step forward.

There are still plenty of things to improve, but at least now the project is starting to look like an actual website instead of just a collection of files.

How I Got Here

Just like before, I spent a lot of time reading documentation and figuring things out.

Whenever I got stuck, I also used AI to help me understand concepts or point me in the right direction.

I’m still learning a lot as I build this project, so combining documentation with AI has honestly been one of the biggest reasons I’ve been able to keep making progress.

What’s Next?

Now that the website is finally up and running, the next goal is making everything smoother.

There are still bugs to fix, the UI needs a lot more work, and I want to start adding the features that will make the generator feel complete instead of just functional.

There’s still a long way to go, but seeing everything slowly come together is really motivating.

I think that’s all for this devlog.

As always, if you have any ideas, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to leave a comment or open an issue on GitHub.

Thank you all so much for reading.

Have a nice day.
