Devlog #4

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Devlog #4 of Starmap Generator.

Hope you all are doing great.

Today’s session felt a lot better than the last one.

I finally managed to fix one of the biggest issues that had been bothering me for a while, and now the project is really starting to feel complete.

The Grid Is Finally Fixed

The biggest update today is that I finally got the CSS grid working the way I wanted.

It took way more experimenting than I expected. I kept changing things, refreshing the page, breaking the layout, fixing it again… and eventually everything just clicked.

Now the elements are finally where they’re supposed to be, and the whole interface feels much more stable.

About Yesterday…

I’m still a little annoyed about yesterday’s time tracker deciding that a 5-hour coding session was only 1 hour.

There’s nothing I can really do about it now, but looking back, those “missing” hours definitely weren’t wasted. A lot of today’s progress only happened because of all the work I put in yesterday.

So I guess it wasn’t completely for nothing.

The Website

I also want to say something about the design.

I’m not a web designer, and this isn’t meant to be the most beautiful website you’ll ever see.

It’s pretty simple, but it works, and honestly I’m happy with that.

Considering this is one of my first bigger web projects, I’m really proud of how everything has come together. I’ve learned a lot while building it, and that’s probably the most important part.

Almost Finished

At this point, there really isn’t much left to do.

There are still a few small things I want to clean up, but if everything goes according to plan, I should be able to finish the entire project tomorrow.

It’s kind of crazy seeing something that started as just an idea getting this close to the finish line.

I think that’s all for this devlog.

If you have any suggestions, feedback, or notice something that could be improved, feel free to leave a comment or open an issue on GitHub.

Thank you all so much for reading.

Have a nice day.
