Hello again, more updates coming soon (I think).

Well, it works, and the ventilation is better.

Just wanted to share these images that I made because I like the comrade doggo image

Comicverse - Devlog

Well, I wanted to do this for a while, but didn't have enough progress to show up here. But not that I don't have a full-time job anymore, things are turning out very quickly.

This year, I'm working on a project codenamed "Comicverse". It is a platform for writers and artists (like me) to post and share their work, similar to platforms such as Webtoons and Wattpad, but [hopefully] better. Works on this platform can be more than just images or text, they can be fully customized and immersive, taking full advantage and capabilities of the web to improve the reading experience.

As in the GIF above, one of the features is the ability to change backgrounds as you scroll/read the work. It is a small detail, but that could be used for things such as showing the current scenario, theme, accent color, etc. of the work.

Another feature that I recently created is the ability to add soundtracks. Yes, web comics and books can now have full soundtracks playing as the reader sees the work (enable the audio):

Also, more than just one soundtrack can be playing at once, so this can also be used for ambient sound effects: things such as the sounds of trees as the protagonist enter a forest; or fire as a village is burned down to ashes.

There are still a lot of things that I want to add and develop:

Being able to click on text on parts of the webcomic image, triggering sounds, pop-ups, or jumping to another page (choose-your-own-adventure books and comics!);

Multi-lingual works, aka. being able to publish your work under different languages;

Screen-reader support for web comics, so visually impaired people can still read them;

Easter eggs in works, things such as hidden click or hover events that the reader should find (ARGs support);

This is still in very early development, since I want to make it right both in user-facing and technical parts of the application (which I will be going into details in my codeblr blog @guzscode on a reblog). I don't want to rush and develop something mediocre.

Also, the images drawings by me and the songs are just placeholders for testing. The musics in the video are in respective order: Coasting, by Darren Korb; Now I Am Become Death, by Chris Christodoulou; and Balatro's Main Theme (they are just songs that I were vibing to while programming)

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

I had a nightmare last night.

I was a reporter.

Finally, here is Part 2 as an addition to the original post. Enjoy.

I spent a lot of time thinking about The Rules, and wondering how things worked. Thank you for reading.

Part 3 coming soon.

First time using blender properly. Kinda gone the lazy path using just simple geometry with an image as a texture. Surprisingly, a good result for the first try.

Pixelated the image using a web tool, just to see if it could work. I do like the result, maybe aligning the pixels would make it better. But it is a start.

What if there was a social media site that was good?

We're trying to kickstart development on a proof of concept social media project. Somewhat for the fun of it, but also because social media in 2025 is just so frustrating. Everyone just tries to become the new twitter, algorithms are trying to force you to look at awful stuff, and community building just does not work.

We want to learn from some of the community-building and community-finding features of tumblr (e.g. tags, the reblog system) and allow users absolute freedom about what they see on their feeds.

The project is hosted on github. Right now it's pretty bare-bones and mostly just outlining the project and code structure, but hopefully we can get prototypes running soon. Collaboration is organised on the codeblr discord server. Everyone is invited to contribute, no matter your field or level of experience.

For now, technologies used are Rust, PostgreSQL, sqlx, axum, and Docker (compose). Technologies for the frontend are still undecided and nothing is really set in stone yet.
