Wrote readme, scrubbed nohup from git history. I think I’m ready to ship!

Will it be on 100% of the time? No. But it’s cool. And I can cultivate a slack channel for this.

keeping server + frontend + drawing backend in one repo (no submodules) and one python environment has been… a choice. But it’s fine. Just don’t ask why my vercel serverless runner has pyaxidrawinternal installed on it… 😬

Added HC auth and cloudflare stuff to prevent abuse.
Also added an offline screen

Opened a private beta in Slack, which went pretty well

implemented oauth

overall feel motivated to pick this project back up, will probably ship it in the next few days

Made the snake code a lot more robust and added end game logic. Also added multiple foods.

Got snake working in the kernel code!

So far, I’ve gotten arbitrary strings writable to the VGA buffer in a bootable disk image

Got a VGA buffer implementation up and running, so now we have proper println!

I’ve made quite a bit of progress, this is my first FT devlog. I’ve worked through the first section on https://os.phil-opp.com/ . And honestly, this is a good place to be. We’ve got a VGA in kernel space. I might dive in to paging later, but I thought I might want to do something fun. So I’m going to make snake with goofy I/O polling.

Full thing fully works! I’ll test with a small group and collect feedback before shipping.

Added grid overlay and bezier editor + command passthrough! This is probably the most frontend… not much I can do until I get hardware

Added redis. Plus, mjpeg streaming works fr on cloudflare!!

Swapped to cloudflared because nest is down… Time to restructure to run on serverless!

Checked in #ask-the-shipwrights, put back demo video in readme

more time spent writing docs on why installation has to be the way that it is.

Ship!!

Added subtitles and frame dropping. Project is looking good!

bro I’ve watched the first fifteen seconds of Never Gonna Give You Up far too many times

Got the textual TUI up and running relatively well! Everything’s aligned, everything seems pretty low latency (although fps is about half of what I’d like it to be)

TODO: More GUI!!!

It works somewhat! Don’t worry about all that, funny stuff happens when you drag

Right now it’s pretty simple, just piping yt-dlp -> ffmpeg -> chafa

And I guess that’s the PoC? That’s it? So I’ll probably wrap this in a nice tui using textual.

Also Ghostty native image support is SO COOL. It should work on all terminals, though. Chafa has good ansi stuff too.
