All right, haven't done any coding on my project today (ignore that it is technically yesterday at this point, counting it as the 7th cause I haven't slept yet). That said, been doing some planning for what I want to see. Got over the biggest hurdle stopping me in the past, which was having something that can make a desktop app and can run the specific java script library I need. While there could have been work arounds or similar libraries for other languages, I decided it wasn't worth the time & energy at that point.
A basic rundown, I am making a tauri application with the main OS target being windows as that is what is used at my work. I am trying to make a node based application using litegraph.js as the core. The goal is to have a program that the end user uses these nodes to visually build a network. It would allow them to see what is both physically and logically connected. While I have a very basic understanding of networking with Cisco devices, I want to use this to be able to learn more.
So what is next? Well nowhere near done with planning all the things I will need to implement, but I have a start. Thinking that I might look to implement some of the basic things that I have planned to see how it works. I also have a few subject matter experts I want to talk to for 2 reasons:
- Gain more knowledge on what acutally is needed to build a network. Definetally for external WAN connections, but also for going over internal LAN things to see if there are things I do not know about.
- Go over examples of how to set up nodes/conections to get outside input from people who know networking but not node based applications to see what is more intuitive for them.
Things I need to implement
- More of a UI. I have the basic canvas from the java script library that is the core of the application, but need more menu features.
- Implement some nodes. Don't need the functionality of generating commands just yet, more to see how they look, feel, and connect within the actual program.

Applying for jobs... Well about to really start anyways. Got my resume done a while back and I've just been putting it off. At a point where I'm going to be forced to move back to the states in a few months and I am kinda stressed out ngl.
Been trying to keep busy with other projects so I am at least doing something in the meantime. Started working on a desktop web app with an idea I've been wanting to do for a while. Spent like 5 hours just trying to figure out how to get the project set up and the JavaScript library I need to just work. My mind is fried. Probably doesn't help that I'm running on like 4 hours of sleep.
My friend from back home also finally got on Discord after that and then we played some DOTA 2 but MOBA games on a fried mind is like being high. I have no idea what I was doing but it was fun to hang and play.
That's all from me right now folks
