SpacecraftOS

  • 3 Devlogs
  • 16 Total hours

I'm building an webOS about spacecrafts created by humans! Get to know these precisely crafted works of humanity that help us discover the universe and our home - earth. From satellites to telescopes, and even massive rockets like Artemis II.

Ship #1

I made an operating system based around spacecrafts!

My website provides few apps: two about telescopes where you can learn about them and rate few photos they took from 1 to 5 stars, and one with notes, where you can store your ideas if some spacecrafts inspire you!
Besides apps, on the top bar you will find two guides on how to catch the ISS and starlink satellites. In the ISS window you can find short youtube video - it’s about Polish astronaut, Sławosz Uznański, eating pierogi (delicious polish dish) on the ISS! I really recommend watching this
The apps were the biggest challange for me. That’s why I had spent so many hours on this project. Firts, I couldn’t even open the first app. It was hard to even make the selected function work. Then, I managed to make this one app working! But, it wasn’t the right solution. When I added new apps, they were opening the 1st app window, and not theirs. I spent a lot hours trying to fix it, I tried a lot of possible solutions and finally, I had asked ai for help. That’s the only ai usage in this project. Eventually, everything works! I’m so happy because I’ve almost gave up.
I really like the outcome, and I look forward for the future changes! I came up with a lot of ideas and I realised them the exact way I wanted! My favourite parts are def the Sławosz eating pierogi video and the photo ranking which I find so fun to watch and rate.
Hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I do!

AYYYY FINAL DEVLOG! :yay:

Devlog #3 - more apps and final changes

Guys I can’t believe I did this!! (It’s such an achievement for me okay :yayayayayay: ) Let’s break all the changes I’ve made to some points:
(if you don’t want to read it all please skip to the last point because it’s about Poland in space and I love Poland and Space)

APPS! AND MANY MORE PROBLEMS.

Let’s start from the problems…

If you tought that in the second devlog I’ve finally managed to make working apps - you are so wrong. Barely 2 hours later I realised, that the (window) part was not a problem. Turned out, that when I changed this to the id of my app window, next apps opened the 1st app window, and not theirs window. I’ve been searching for solutions for HOURSS! Eventually I had asked ai for help. I had described my problem really pricesely. It found the problem! In this function function handleIconTap(element) I was supposed to write (element, window)… Fortunately, now it fully works!! I’m so happy because this was sooo frustrating.

New apps!

So, I’ve made two new apps! One similar to James Webb Space Telescope App, and one for notes and ideas. Let me introduce you toooo:

  1. Hubble Space Telescope App! - As I said, this one is similar to JWSTApp but it’s around Hubble! You can rate photos, learn some facts about it and just admire another amazing spaceship.
  2. NASCApp also known as Spacecraft Ideas. So from where is the abbreviation “NASCApp”??? Well, previously it was named “Notes About Spacecrafts”, but I decided that it’s so boring. Spacecraft Ideas is not really mind blowing name but it’s way better. I also had few problems with this app but after longer reflections, I decided to keep it simple.
    You can see these apps on screenshoots below.

Starlink Catch Guide and Minor Changes

I finished writing about starlink satellites in the Starlink Catch Guide window and added some minor changes to every window on my webOS after reading them all again. It was such a long process, but I like how it all looks together now.

POLAND IN SPAAAAAACE AND PIEROGI!

I added youtube video to the ISS Catch Guide window about Polish astronaut - Sławosz Uznański, eating delicious polish pierogi, on the ISS! I think that this is the most important part of my webOS. POLSKA GUROM!! (You can watch Sławosz eating pierogi on the ISS here )

What’s next?

I’m going to read it all again, write README, complete project info and finally, SHIP!! :yayayayayay-67:

Don’t worry it’s not the end of the journey because I started to like coding so much and I want to continue with webOS 2!

Thank’s for being with me and have a nice day!

I did itttt!!

Devlog #2 - Apps

Hi!!! I’m so glad to announce that my apps are finally working! There’re still few problems though. But let’s start from the outset:

James Webb Space Telescope App

This app provides few basic information and interesting facts about JWST. I had also added some photos which you can rate from 1 to 5 stars! You can see the app in the screenshots below.

Problems

  1. As you can see, there’s so much space on the right from the images you can rate. I’m considering a lot of options, one of them is to just make two/three photos in one row, what do you think? Would this look better?
  2. Double click app opening - the if and else statements made my app open at the second click, and not at the first when it’s selected. It selects with the first click and then, with second click, deselects and opens. Idk if it’s supposed to work this way. I think that now I’m going to leave it because at this point I’m just celebrating it works and I want to focus on other things.

Problems fixed 🥳🥳🥳

Yall don’t even know how happy I am because of these apps working!! It indeed was much easier than I tought, guess what stupid mistake I had made this time… in the function I did not changed (window) to my actual window. Lol. It was not the only problem on the way but it was definitely the main mistake. I’m so happy because now I can get creative and continue working on the apps design!!

Upcoming changes

Next I’m going to add few more apps. Can’t wait!

Thanks for reading this devlog. Hope you’ll have and amazing day!!

I dont know what I’m doing but I hope it will be worth it!!

devlog #1 - SpacecraftOS

Hi everyone! I detached the WebOS mission from ISS HUNT and created this project - Spacecraft OS. I noticed that it’s not really the way I want ISS hunt to look like, to be like.
To be honest - this tutorial is SOOOOO hard to me! The apps get me everytime! And besides it I made a lot of minor mistakes. For example, once I could move the start window alone but the guide window was moving only with the start one. And the blur wasn’t working, I was so frustrated and reallyyy confident that there are NOT any stupid mistakes like wrong id. Until I realised that the top bar only blurs the start window… I haven’t closed the div. Yeah. That is a stupid mistake. Even tho it’s hard to me I’m not giving up! Others have done it so can I!

For now, I created the top bar and completed the start window and the ISS catch guide. Currently I’m working on starlink catch guide and then I’m gonna work more on these wretched apps 😭 Wish me luck!
