Spent about 1 hour working on a font (not complete, still need to add more characters but the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation are done! Here is the otf file and an image of the final font.
Continued working on github.com/CrazeXD/SciBind ! No major breaking updates but wanted to submit what I have for tickets.
In the past 2 days I finished:
Storing the document from the frontend to the backend
Improving the toolbar functionality
Writing contributor guidelines and setting up auto formatting for the repository
This is for my website SciBind, a Next.js website made with Typescript and Tailwind CSS combined with a Django/Python backend/database. This is a website to make it easier for Science Olympiad students to make binders/cheat sheets with all sorts of features at their hands, and I have opened it up to community contribution.
Here is the link to the repo: github.com/CrazeXD/SciBind !
Finished binding the functions in the toolbar to functions in the editor for my Science Olympiad Binder/Cheatsheet creation website, SciBind. Built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Python, Django, and more. Next step, connect to the backend 💀

Today, I (mostly) finished the event selection logic behind my Science Olympiad Binder/Cheatsheet creation website, SciBind. I am building this project in Next.js and Django (Python), with TypeScript, TailwindCSS, DaisyUI, and more. The event selection logic allows students to select which events they are participating in, and an object will appear in the database for the allowed materials. Repo:

Today, I finished a basic structure in a website I am building to make creating Science Olympiad binders and cheatsheets easier than ever called SciBind. I am building this project using React with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI for components, and a Python + Django backend as a REST API. So far, I have basic User functionality created (signup, login, logout) created, models for the database, loaders for the events when the database is migrated, and a basic idea of what the document structure is going to look like. Here is my github repo: www.github.com/CrazeXD/Scioly-Binder-Software.
Today, I finished the sending functionality for individual files in my wrapper for github.com/schollz/croc. I faced a lot of issues with this due to lack of knowledge of the language, and had to consult some AI to figure out where my code was going wrong, but I studied the code and modified it to fit my requirements. This was written in GoLang, and used raw HTML/CSS/JS in the frontend.

Today, I did a quick research project to look at the sentiment of Project 2025, a conservative political document. I didn't end up getting very fruitful results, and I wasn't entirely sure if it would count for Hack Club, but here are the results:
Mean Polarity: 0.07823441578370974 (Not very polarized, which seems strange considering this is a far right-winged political document)
Mean Subjectivity: 0.3793216593277873 (More reasonable but I also expected this to be higher)

Today, I completed the installation functionality for my desktop wrapper of "croc", a file-transfer utility. I wrote it in GoLang, like the original package but with the added Wails library to access HTML/CSS/JS bindings for the design. Currently, it only has the ability to install croc, but eventually I will integrate the rest of the functionality that croc provides into the app.

Today, I finished the templates for my Portfolio website. Everything else that I plan to add to it is non-technical content. Overall, I am happy with the design since I made it with pure HTML/CSS/JS (besides a little bit of jQuery and tilt.js for styling). You can check out the website at crazexd.github.io!

Today, I completed my URL shortener. For this, I did some experimenting with SvelteKit and Django (I realized later that I should have just used regular Svelte but oh well). It's nothing too complicated, just a simple sqlit3 file that keeps a record of all of the urls and sends that url back to the svelte application. I have the sveltekit and the django running on 2 different ports.

Today, I finished the backend API for my URL shortener website. For the backend, I am using Python's Django as a REST Framework. I still need to complete the integration with the frontend, which I am developing in Svelte. This project is very experimental, since I have never worked with Node.js or any JS framework in the frontend, and instead of using Django's inbuilt template rendering system, I decided to integrate it with Svelte even though it isn't really necessary.

Today, I created a desktop app for my old Novation Launchpad Pro. This Python app takes a gif and renders it (in 8x8) onto the launchpad. The launchpad had been sitting in my desk for a few years now, so I thought it would be good to try to repurpose it into a fun little display. Note that it does shutter a lot in the video because of the mismatched framerates.

Today, I finished a Chrome extension that allows you to paste out text as if you were typing it here you can pick a speed and it will type at that average speed.
