Spent the week re-familiarizing myself with Wanabusful, reorganizing the repo so the root-level `index.html` becomes the landing page for every micro tool while leaving the heavier Next.js pieces inside `othertools/` untouched.

## Static tools, single page

Wanabusful now exposes one simple HTML hub that links directly to all of the mini apps so Netlify (and any quick deploy) can point to the top-level file while the static folders stay independent:

- **`csv-to-json/`** – Dynamo DB-style CSV → JSON converter for quick uploads.
- **`base64/`** – Fast Base64 encoder/decoder with clipboard helpers.
- **`json-formatter/`** – Pretty-print or minify tiny stubs before committing.
- **`lorem/`** – Lorem Ipsum generator tuned for placeholder paragraphs.
- **`url-encode/`** – Percent-encoding and decoding for API payloads.
- **`uuid/`** – UUID v4 generator with copy buttons.
- **`markdown-preview/`** – Live Markdown + marked.js preview for docs.
- **`timestamp/`** – Unix timestamp ↔ human date converter.
- **`color-converter/`** – Hex ↔ RGB converter with real-time swatches.
- **`slug-generator/`** – Title-to-slug helper enforcing lowercase hyphens.

The Next.js suite inside `othertools/` still hosts the camera, signature, and audio experiments, so the hub simply links to it when the heavier tools are needed.

## Notification alert

The alerts feed now includes a dedicated entry for this update (`/notifications/2026-02-08`), tagged with `wanabusful` and `tools`, so the landing page can surface the news inside the Alerts UI. That notification links back to this blog and the live hub so friends know where the refreshed experiences live.

## Why this blog?

If you visit Wanabusful anytime soon you’ll hear the same story: a small, static landing page points to the growing mini-tool collection, a notification lets you know about the refresh, and this post documents the whole stack for future reference. Enjoy the mini adventures on the hub!

QuickGPT update: multi-model chat and sidebar productivity


Recently I discovered the **Agent Mode** of both **GitHub Copilot** and **Cursor IDE** — and bro, it changes how you code.  
It’s not just auto-completion anymore; it’s like having a mini AI teammate that *thinks, edits, and explains* your code inline.

## What Is Agent Mode?

Agent Mode is the newer evolution of AI coding.  
Instead of just generating a single suggestion, it allows Copilot (or Cursor’s built-in model) to **act like an assistant** within your editor — executing refactors, debugging steps, or explaining complex logic.

It feels like ChatGPT, but directly integrated into VS Code or Cursor, with context from your files.

## Setup & Requirements

### For GitHub Copilot
1. Make sure you have the **latest Copilot Nightly or Copilot Chat extension**.
2. Enable the *“Agent Mode”* or *“Copilot Workspace”* feature flag (only available to selected accounts as of now).
3. You’ll need an **active GitHub Copilot subscription**.
4. In VS Code, open the **Copilot Chat sidebar** → type `@workspace` or `@vscode` to begin agent-like tasks.
5. Optionally, install the **Copilot Labs** extension for experiments like “Explain code”, “Test generation”, and “Refactor”.

### For Cursor IDE
1. Download **Cursor IDE** from [cursor.sh](https://cursor.sh) (it’s basically a supercharged VS Code fork).
2. Sign in with your GitHub or OpenAI account.
3. Choose your **preferred model** (GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini, depending on your plan).
4. Open any project, then press **Ctrl+L** (Windows) or **Cmd+L** (Mac) — this activates the **Command mode**.
5. You can also use **Cmd+K** to chat about your code with full project context.

## How to Use It

Here are some sample workflows you can try right away:

- **Explain a file:**  
  `@workspace explain main.py`
  
- **Refactor safely:**  
  Highlight a function → “Refactor to async” or “Add error handling”.
  
- **Debug with reasoning:**  
  “Why is this function returning None?” — the agent scans relevant files.
  
- **Generate new modules:**  
  “Create a settings.ts and hook it to existing config.”

- **In Cursor:**  
  Just press `/` inside Command Mode and try “Fix this file” or “Document this component”.

## Things to Note

- Cursor’s agent reads *more context* than Copilot Chat — ideal for larger projects.
- Copilot Agent still requires GitHub ecosystem (repos, extensions, VS Code workspace).
- Make sure to disable unnecessary AI tools running together — they may conflict.
- Agent Mode can edit files directly, so commit often before trying big changes.
- Some features (like @workspace) are in **beta**, so expect gradual rollout.

## Final Thoughts

Using Agent Mode in both Copilot and Cursor IDE feels like jumping a generation ahead in dev tools.  
It’s not just about *writing faster*, it’s about *thinking clearer* — like pair programming with an AI that actually reads your whole codebase.  

For me, it made debugging and refactoring less intimidating, especially late at night when brain cells are offline 😂  
If you haven’t tried it yet — open Cursor, type `/`, and let the AI do some magic.

---

💡 *That’s my blog for today — just pure dev excitement. Tomorrow maybe I’ll break down the Cursor workflow with examples on my actual repos.*

# Building a JSON Database with Vue & Netlify CMS

I've been working on a unique project that combines static site generation with dynamic content management. The idea? Create a **JSON-based database** that can serve as an API backend for modern frontend frameworks like Vue.js and React.

## The Architecture

- **Static JSON files** in `/public/data/` serve as database
- **Netlify CMS** (Decap CMS) for content management
- **Serverless functions** for GitHub sync automation
- **Vue 3 + Vite** for the admin interface

## Why This Approach?

1. **No database overhead** - everything is static files
2. **API-ready** - JSON endpoints consumable by any frontend
3. **Git-based** - version control for content
4. **Fast deployments** - static hosting with CDN

## The Magic of JSON as API

```javascript
// Your frontend can consume like this:
const projects = await fetch('/data/personal-projects.json')
const blogs = await fetch('/data/blogs/index.json')
const post = await fetch(`/data/blogs/${slug}.json`)
```

## Next Steps

I'm planning to build a Vue.js frontend that consumes these JSON endpoints to create a dynamic portfolio and blog system. The beauty is that the content management happens through Netlify CMS, but the presentation layer can be completely decoupled.

Stay tuned for more updates on this project!

My Journey to Creating a Pomodoro Timer with Electron


When I started playing **Sunflower Land**, I noticed that its *Desert Digging* feature had plenty of mystery and strategy — but also a lot of tedious guesswork. I wanted to make something that could **visualize digging data, highlight possible treasure spots, and save players time** without breaking the game’s rules.
That’s how **d1g.uk** was born — a browser-based helper for the community, requiring no login and running entirely on the frontend for speed and privacy.

## 🌟 The Idea Behind d1g.uk
The goal was simple:  
Make digging more strategic by showing patterns, marking tiles, and giving hints — all in real time.  
I envisioned:
- A grid showing dug spots (sand, crabs, treasures).
- Automatic “hint tiles” near potential finds.
- Simple color markers players could toggle themselves.
- Daily treasure pattern previews.
All of this without ever storing sensitive player data.

## 🎨 Design and Development
The build combined **Vue 3**, **Vite**, and **TailwindCSS** for a fast, responsive interface.  
The technical challenges were more interesting than I expected:
- **Live API Handling** – Pulling fresh farm data from the Sunflower Land public API while respecting cooldowns and avoiding rate limits.
- **Pattern Rendering** – Displaying today’s treasure patterns visually without clutter.
- **Local State Management** – Keeping tile markings smooth and responsive even when the grid reloaded.
One of the key UI touches was making **hint tiles auto-appear** next to crab/sand results — so players instantly see where to dig next without reading walls of text.

## 🖥️ Key Features
- **Instant Land Lookup** – Enter your Land ID to see live digging status.
- **Treasure Patterns Preview** – Shows all patterns for today’s treasures.
- **Custom Tile Marking** – Mark tiles red, yellow, green, or treasure type for your own planning.
- **No Login Needed** – 100% frontend, no personal data stored.
![d1g.uk Demo](./image-5.png)

## 🚧 Challenges Faced
Not everything was smooth sailing:
- **API Constraints** – No historical queries meant no long-term dig tracking.
- **Marker Persistence** – Useless to store markings since patterns change daily.
- **Player Privacy** – Had to ensure zero sensitive data ever touched my servers.
These limitations shaped the tool’s design into something fast, temporary, and focused on *today’s* digging session.

## 🚀 Release and Community Response
Once launched, d1g.uk spread through the Sunflower Land community. Seeing players from **dozens of countries** using it daily — without me ever advertising — was the best reward.  
It proved that even a simple, focused tool can have a real impact if it solves a pain point.

## 🌱 Future Aspirations
I’m already thinking about:
- Optional chatbot integration for strategy tips.
- More advanced hint logic for multiple treasure patterns.
- Fun seasonal themes to make digging more immersive.
If you’re into **game tools** or **Vue.js development**, I’d love to exchange ideas. And if you play Sunflower Land… you might just find d1g.uk makes your next dig a lot smarter.

Building d1g.uk: My Journey Creating the Sunflower Land Desert Digging Helper


It started as a casual browser game. I planted some sunflowers, waited a bit, harvested, repeated. But the more I played the game, the more I saw depth—crafting, strategy, events, community. Before I knew it, I wasn't just playing the game—I was building for it.

 **[Sunflower Land](https://sunflower-land.com)**
 
## Creating Tools for the Community

One thing led to another, and I built [SFL Farm Viewer](https://sfl-farm-viewer.uft1.com)—a tool to let players view their farm data outside the game. It started as a scratch-my-own-itch project, but others started using it. That lit something up in me: the game wasn’t just fun—it was *collaborative*. I could contribute to the ecosystem.

## 📸 SFL-Inspired Landscapes

Here are some aesthetic, pixel-style wallpapers inspired by the world of Sunflower Land:

![Landscape 8](/images/post/12_58_53AM.png)

## Passion-Driven Development

Unlike work projects that follow deadlines and client specs, building tools for Sunflower Land felt different. I pushed features late at night. I rewrote functions because *I wanted to*, not because I had to. That kind of motivation is rare.

## 🌱 Let's Grow Together

I'm active on Discord and often lurking in the game's updates and forums. If you're building for SFL or have ideas, hit me up.

I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with code to solve my own problems. While playing **Sunflower Land**, a web-based game, I found myself wanting a more efficient way to handle certain tasks. That’s where my journey into creating a Chrome extension began—what started as a simple script for personal use eventually became a published tool used by hundreds.

## The Beginning: Solving My Own Problem

At first, I wrote small scripts to automate repetitive tasks in the game. These scripts weren’t anything fancy, just simple automations to make my life easier. Soon, I realized that instead of running scripts manually, I could package them into a Chrome extension for a smoother experience.

## Improving the Extension: Better UI and Functionality

As I used my own tool, I kept refining it. I improved the buttons, made the functionality clearer, and ensured everything worked as smoothly as possible. Even though progress was slow—sometimes I had time to work on it, sometimes I didn’t—I kept pushing forward whenever I could.

## The Decision to Publish

One day, I decided I wanted to take it a step further. I didn’t just want this extension for myself—I wanted to officially publish something I had built. It wasn’t about making money or gaining recognition; it was about putting something out there that others could use. After going through Chrome Web Store’s review process, my extension was finally live.

## Where It Is Now

As of now, my extension, **Sunflower Land Farm Helper**, has over a hundred users. It’s available here:

- [Website](https://sunflower-land-helper.jovylle.com/)
- [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sunflower-land-farm-helpe/innimeplbaacgjbdpohblfgamoheoihi)

It’s not perfect, and there’s still a lot I can improve, but seeing real users benefit from something I built is a great feeling. 

## Lessons Learned

- **Solve your own problems first.** The best projects often come from personal needs.
- **Small progress is still progress.** Even if you only work on it occasionally, you’ll get there.
- **Publishing is worth it.** Putting your work out there, no matter how small, is a great step in growth as a developer.

This experience taught me that it’s okay to build something just for yourself at first, but sharing it with the world can be even more rewarding. And this is just the beginning.



Building Chrome Extension: From Personal Tool to Public Release


It all started with a simple idea: I needed a custom module for Meteor Client. So I cloned a project, thinking I'd just add one small feature. Little did I know this would become a full-blown development journey that resulted in **30+ custom modules** and a complete addon called **TS-Const**.

## The Beginning: A Simple Clone

Like many developers, I began by cloning an existing project. I had a specific need - something that wasn't quite available in the standard Meteor Client modules. The plan was simple: clone, add one module, and be done with it.

But as I started working, I realized the potential was much greater. Each problem I encountered while playing Minecraft on Constantiam (an anarchy server) became an opportunity to build something new.

## One Module Became Many

What started as a single module quickly grew:

### Navigation & Movement
- **BaritoneElytraHelper**: Advanced elytra pathfinding with Grim AC evasion
- **ElytraFlyHelper**: Enhanced elytra flight mechanics
- **ConstSpeed** & **AnotherSpeed**: Custom movement modules optimized for anarchy servers
- **FastSwimUp**: Quick vertical movement in water
- **AutoFillBack**: Automatic block placement behind you

### Automation & Mining
- **AutoTunnel**: Automated tunnel creation with configurable dimensions
- **SmartTunnel**: Advanced tunneling with stuck detection and lava filling
- **AutoMineForward**: Forward mining automation
- **BaritoneTunnelHelper**: Integration with Baritone for smart tunneling

### Utility & Quality of Life
- **SpawnNotes**: Track spawn points across multiple accounts with screenshots
- **QuickToggleGUI**: Quick-access GUI for toggling modules with large buttons
- **AutoOminousPotion**: Automated AFK raid farming with intelligent potion consumption
- **VillagerInfo**: Display villager reputation and custom name tags
- **CustomESP**: Advanced ESP system for entities and blocks with grouping
- **AutoToggleOnJoin**: Automatically enable modules when joining servers

### Anti-Cheat & Evasion
- **GrimPullCounter**: Advanced techniques to counter Grim Anti-Cheat pulls
- **BaritoneElytraHelper**: Unloaded chunk detection to prevent Grim triggers

### Hunting & Exploration
- **TSBaseFinder**: Find and log player bases
- **OldChunkAlarms**: Alert system for old chunks
- **PlayerLogoutDetector**: Detect when players log out

### And Many More...

The list keeps growing. Each module solves a real problem I encountered while playing, making the game more enjoyable and efficient.

## The Learning Journey

This project has been an incredible learning experience:

### Understanding Minecraft's Internals

I learned how Minecraft's packet system works, how to interact with entities, how status effects are managed, and how the rendering system functions. Each module required diving deep into Minecraft's codebase.

### Working with Meteor Client

Understanding Meteor Client's architecture, event system, and module framework was crucial. I learned how to:
- Create custom modules with settings
- Handle events properly
- Integrate with existing Meteor features
- Use mixins to modify behavior

### Dealing with Anti-Cheat

One of the most interesting challenges was working around Grim Anti-Cheat:
- Detecting unloaded chunks that trigger instant bans
- Countering pull mechanics
- Implementing fake ground states
- Velocity manipulation techniques

### File I/O and Data Management

Modules like SpawnNotes required learning:
- JSON serialization with Gson
- File management across multiple accounts
- Screenshot integration
- Thread-safe operations

## Key Modules and Their Stories

### BaritoneElytraHelper: The Complex One

This module started simple but became one of the most complex. It needed to:
- Detect Baritone's elytra pathfinding state
- Handle disconnects and reconnections
- Fire rockets even when the game window is out of focus
- Detect and avoid unloaded chunks
- Apply speed limits to evade Grim AC

Each feature required solving unique problems, from reflection-based Baritone interaction to direct packet sending for rocket firing.

### AutoOminousPotion: The Iterative One

This module went through many iterations:
1. **First version**: Basic potion consumption
2. **Second version**: Added Bad Omen detection
3. **Third version**: Added raid detection
4. **Fourth version**: Improved Bad Omen detection with comprehensive logging
5. **Fifth version**: Added long cooldown to prevent rapid consumption

Each iteration solved real problems discovered during actual use. The debug logging alone went through multiple refinements to be useful without being overwhelming.

### SpawnNotes: The Feature-Rich One

What started as simple spawn point tracking evolved into:
- Multi-account support with UUID-based storage
- Screenshot integration
- Two-click confirmation system
- General notes system
- GUI for viewing all accounts' spawn points
- Clickable screenshot filenames

This module taught me about user experience - sometimes the "simple" feature needs many supporting features to be truly useful.

## Challenges and Solutions

### The Crash Fixes

Several modules had to be fixed due to crashes:
- **KillAuraMixin**: Fixed NullPointerException in Meteor's KillAura
- **VillagerInfo**: Fixed class loading issues with inner classes
- **TSBaseFinder**: Fixed similar class loading problems

These fixes taught me the importance of proper class structure and null safety.

### The API Changes

Minecraft 1.21 introduced many API changes:
- `PlayerInteractItemC2SPacket` constructor changed
- `ChatMessageC2SPacket` message access changed
- Status effect system updates
- Potion component system changes

Each change required research and adaptation, keeping the modules compatible with the latest Minecraft version.

### The User Feedback Loop

Many features were refined based on actual usage:
- **SpawnNotes confirmation**: Started with 3 clicks, refined to 2, then added shift-bypass
- **AutoOminousPotion cooldown**: Started at 6 seconds, increased to 10 seconds, then to 5 minutes
- **Debug logging**: Started too verbose, refined to only important events

This iterative process made the modules much better than they would have been otherwise.

## The Current State

Today, TS-Const includes:

- **30+ custom modules** across multiple categories
- **Version 1.8.2** with continuous improvements
- **Comprehensive features** for anarchy server gameplay
- **Active development** with regular updates

## What I've Learned

### Development Practices

- **Start simple, iterate**: Most modules started simple and grew based on needs
- **Test in real scenarios**: Real gameplay reveals issues that testing doesn't
- **User feedback is gold**: Actual usage feedback led to the best improvements
- **Documentation matters**: Good debug logging and info messages help users

### Technical Skills

- **Java and Minecraft modding**: Deep understanding of both
- **Event-driven architecture**: Meteor Client's event system
- **Reflection and mixins**: Advanced techniques for modifying behavior
- **File I/O and serialization**: Managing persistent data
- **Thread safety**: Ensuring operations happen on the correct thread

### Problem-Solving

Each module required solving unique problems:
- How to detect Baritone's state without direct API access
- How to fire rockets when the window is unfocused
- How to detect unloaded chunks efficiently
- How to counter anti-cheat systems
- How to manage data across multiple accounts

## The Future

This journey isn't over. There are always new problems to solve, new features to add, and new modules to create. The project continues to evolve based on:

- **Real gameplay needs**: Problems encountered while playing
- **User requests**: Features requested by others
- **Technical improvements**: Better ways to do things
- **Minecraft updates**: Adapting to new versions

## Conclusion

What started as a simple clone to add one module has become a comprehensive addon with 30+ modules. This journey has been about:

- **Learning by doing**: Each module taught me something new
- **Solving real problems**: Every module addresses an actual need
- **Iterative improvement**: Refining features based on usage
- **Community contribution**: Building something others can use

If you're thinking about starting a similar project, my advice is: **just start**. Clone that project, add that one module, and see where it takes you. You might end up with 30+ modules too!
