June 17th: Back To Work

• I finally finished my other project and ready to work on this one! I have a ton of motivation right now.

• I made the layout of the Home page most of the information are just placeholders right now until I implement all of the features but stuff like time works great.

• I think I am finally getting a hang of Flutter somethings I don't really like but I can't deny it is probably the best way to make good looking UI

Total Time Spent: 3h

• I made the Apps Screen too I think it looks really good

• I also researched and decided how I am going to handle data from services like weather to allow for easy cross app communication

• I am running into this weird bug on my home screen where I have to double press the right arrow to make it transtion to the new page but the apps page doesn't have that issue

Total Time Spent: 2h

June 18th: Fixed Navigation Bug

• I finally the bug where you have to double press the right arrow to navigate to the next page

• I still have to decide where I put the apps so the Enviroment can recognize it.

Total Time Spent: 1h

June 19 & 20th: app installing

• I made a package installer for packaging linux executables as .wvpkg

• I made a new file format for apps called wvpkg (Wave Package)

• I think it sounds pretty good.

• I also made it install all apps to ~/Applications a new folder in WaveOS

• Wave_Env (Desktop Enviroment) will scan this directory for apps and get the icon from the image in the app folder

June 20th: OS

• Now comes the hard part the OS

• I already have the base OS based oof of Raspberry Pi OS Lite

• But I am now creating and database manager for cross app communication

• I also have to create the system services for a bunch of the apps to get them to work in the background

Total Time Spent: 6h

June 21st: SQLite Manager

• Good progress was made today, and really, the past two days.

• I basically finished my SQLite Manager.

• SQLite Manager is a class I made that pretty much simplifies the SQLite experience for me.

• I organized the project, but it was nothing big.

• I also made it make a .wvdb file instead of a .db file simply because it looks more professional in my opinion.

• The thing I am most proud of I did today was simplifying the creation of a table, it went from what I believe is a mess of a string with no hints on what you want to something nice and simple, shown in the picture.

• 

Total TIme Spent: 5h

June 22nd: Pipes!

• I basically finsished all I need to do for the SQLite Manager script so now I am handling comunication from WaveDB to other apps

• I am going to use named Pipes for the apps comunicating with WaveDB

• I probably should've used this instead of a database but I have already gotten this far can't stop now.

• And also it makes it feel more professional and me smarter.

• Writing data should work now but I still have to work on reading data.

Total Time Spent: 2h

June 23rd: Pipes & JSON

• I finished at least v1 of the Pipe Manager

• I switched the data type to JSON

• I have no idea what I was thinking trying to do it by strings

• Writing data works

• and Reading data works now with where & order by clauses

• I removed isSetupComplete because that should be handled within Setup's wvdb

• I built all the apps and added them to WaveOS

• If I had the hardware technically I could build WaveOS and have a running OS altough with a lot of problems.

Total Time Spent: 4h

June 26th: Weather

• I didn't journal for a few days but it was all working on weather so I will just add it to today.

• I started work on the Weather Backend Service.

• The structure for the app is going to be a Backend service that runs in the background to get all the data and a Frontend which will get the data and display for the user.

• The weather data will be stored in a accessable .wvdb so other apps can go in and get the same weather data the rest of the system uses.

• I am using Open Meteo because I don't need a API key and I have had experience with it before.

• Right now I am updating my SQLite_Manager to support more complex tables right now it is just key-value pairs.

Total Time Spent: 6h

June 27th: Weather Backend Finished

• I finished the Weather Backend

• I finished improving the SQLite_Manager

• Weather Backend also includes the Location Service

• In the future this might be sepprated but as for now this works.

• On to designing the Weather ui.

Total Time Spent: 4h

June 28th: Weather UI design

• I worked on designing the UI for the weather app

• I only made it a basic mock up and going to finalize it in the flutter app

• I just remembered I have to use pipes in this app hopefully dart supports named pipes.

Total Time Spent: 3.5h

June 30th: Home Page in Flutter

• I turned the home page into a flutter app

• right now there is no functionality but I am going to add geting the weather once I am done the ui.

• I added a Last Updated Time

Total Time Spent: 1.5h

July 1st: Start of Month

• I worked alot on the detail pages

• I worked for around 8.5hrs I am soooooo done

• I got navigation to work

• FInished the 3 pages: Today, Tommorow, Week

Total Time Spent: 9h

July 3rd: Finished Weather

• I am finally DONE with the weather app

• I was so over that stupid app

• but it is done and I am pretty happy with the result

• What the final product looks like is the picture from July 30th because I didn't really do alot of UI changes just made it actually worked

• I also don't want to get doxxed because location works too!

• I also made some changes to the SQLite_Manager for reading Row data

• I am now moving on to a macro app (like a Stream Deck)

• Also this is today and yesterday. Forgot to journal

Total Time Spent: 8h

July 4th: Happy 4th of July

• I started work on the macro pad app

• I got the UI done

• but that is where the good news ends

• I thought it would be pretty simple to send HID commands to a pc

• best case just a dart package worse case maybe a platform channel with a pretty easy HID library.

• NO

• I have been researching turns out I need to basically interact with the raw USB interface

• I am just going to keep searching for something that will help me

Total Time Spent: 4h

July 6th: OS Modifications & Macro-Pad App

• I made some modifications to the os

• I added logic for first boot and stuff like that

• I also added the usb functionailty

• I finished the Macro-Pad app and it now functions exactly like a macropad

• I made it able to detect if you are connected to a pc not just a wall outlet and throws an error if not connceted to a pc

• I am now going to modify a few OS things and make a OOBE and v1 (v0.0.1) of Wave OS is complete!

Total Time Spent: 5h

July 7th: OOBE

• I started work on the OOBE I got a Figma mockup made on my SoM devlog

• I am working on the actual app and will report back here for more info.
