I got a simple demo orbit simulation running with Pygame. Still exploring the physics side of it all but for now this is a good base line to start from. I am planning to make it more accurate and better looking. Mimicing Newtonian Physics for now but might upgrade to use general relativity based on how much I am able to grasp and implement because some of the topic matter is really dense. Anyway that’s it thanks for following along with the journey!

shreeyans.vichare shipped My very own blog website (The Active Record)!!
16 days ago

Shipped this project!

Hours: 20.19
Cookies: 🍪 106
Multiplier: 5.25 cookies/hr

I made a personal blog website.
The Active Record is something I’ve worked on for a long time.
It provides an extremely personalized, and tailored UI that I just couldn’t find on traditional website makers. Shoutout to React, this library really is very helpful and beginner friendly.
I had fun working on the design from the ground-up,
The posts are rendered by parsing the markdown files for things such as categories, featured posts etc. And after uploading the blog as a Markdown file, it dynamically adjusts the UI and adds it at the desired location with the desired route.
I really gained an appreciation for functional programming and how I don’t have to make completely seperate instances of things just to fit one test case.
Overall it was a really fun experience and I hope everyone enjoys it!!

I finally finished the Project!
It took a lot of time to perfect, added dark mode and I really like how it turned out!
The progress bar feels smooth while reading a post! Can’t wait to put more cotent and perhaps in the future, my own merch store (as teased on the website)
Managed to make the categories section a little more interactive, added social links for contacting and tons and tons of tiny details that had to be worked out but I am super proud of it.
Hope you’ll enjoy reading my blogs as much as I’ll enjoy writing them

(P.S. I am still unable to upload a video in the devlog, to checkout the implementation please visit the demo link, though I have tried my best with GIFs but they don’t fully convey the UI,thank you!!)

So I have completed the page for individual posts, and specific categories of post.
The design is kept consistent throughout the entire website to give it a better feel.
The Specific category page conditionally renders by parsing through the md files so I don’t have to manually add anything while uploading blogs. I also ended up writing a blog which was a fun break!
I really feel good about how this project is coming along and now all I have left to implement is the Light Mode/Dark Mode switching and the ability to contact me and like individual posts!
(P.S. I am having an issue uploading videos in devlogs, so if you want to see how the final page looks like please check the demo link)

Perfecting the landing page is taking longer than I expected! But I am all for the customizability, that’s the fun part about making a blog website on your own, the possibilities are endless. While there aren’t any insane animations/transitions, I have done my best to make the website feel interactive and lively.
A lot of useful implementation was added in the duration of this session. The blog posts read from MarkDown files instead of JSON. The data and cotent and extracted using the React Markdown and gray matter pacakge. Powerful yet subtle animations have been added using the Framer Motion Library and GSAP.
I’m really proud of how this page is turning out to be and hope to keep adding features as I keep adding blog posts.
What’s left for now is the page for specific categories, adopting a mobile friendly design and light mode/dark mode integration.
Thanks for reading!
