Final touches done!

• Updated the headers.
• Used Claude for some help with parsing the markdown because tui-markdown’s defaults were annoying
• Added a border to the devlog text

SHIP TIME

I spent a while trying to do the title but then realised the ID returned by the api is not a project id. I don’t think it’s possible to get the project details unless I’m missing something, so I’ll just leave it without it. I did some styling though :yay:

Next up:

• make text wrap
• check any unfinished to dos
• ship???

Set up the basic tui and loop:

• scroll through logs with j / k
• quit with q
• shows project id (hopefully next it will also show project title and maybe author
• shows devlog

Next:

• as i said, show the project title and author if possible
• make it look nicer (make title bold / big, add borders to sections, add colors etc)

I got the basic api call working, so I can get started on making the tui with ratatui now! So far it just prints out the first devlog returned by the api.

To Dos:

• Build the TUI
• Display the project name and ID as a title
• Display the user?
• Get rid of that warning in the screenshot

Uploaded to crates.io, fixed some spacing, shows the subreddit now as well as upvotes. I couldn’t see a way to grab the comments so didn’t do that :/ Ready to ship now!

Added scrolling through the subreddit with j/k and moved the title of the post to a different box. Will show comments soon if possible. Also, I used clap to take an optional arg of the subreddit to browse (default for no value is, of course, r/rust)

I GOT THE REDDIT API WORKING AND IT DISPLAYs THE POSTS NOW :YAY:

I learned about layouts and made this layout :D Still not sure about getting text input tho… will do that soon.

I set up the basic loop of the program with ratatui (this is my first time using it) and it now reads input and:

• if ‘q’ is pressed, quits
• if ‘r’ is pressed, rickroll
• if any other key is pressed, display ‘REDDITUI’

Next I’m going to figure out how to ask the user what subreddit to view.

I added a guestbook using Giscus, which uses a github discussion as the backend so users have to sign in to comment! I also added a custom 404 page, started a nav section and contact page, and set up more styling like the custom font.

I added a blog system with some help from AI that lets me write blog posts in markdown and render them automatically with Astro! I also added some basic styling (catppuccin mocha colors).

I added better logic (swapping from a switch to a for loop + calling a function to process the input) and used a for true loop to prompt the user over and over until they enter accepted input.

I got the user input set up, a basic welcome message + option list and a switch to determine what to do for each input, with a default case for unrecognised input. Next I’ll move the code into a different function so I can call it again if the user enters unrecognised input.

I made the main page and changelog. (idk why i need to log the time again lol)

Started the complete rewrite, worked on the styling and the header. Also worked on the title and landing area.

So far I’ve created the basic styling, the main page, and a changelog page! I have also got the site running on my domain, at new.codingcorner.dev (hosted on vercel!).
