Implementing Steam Cloud and Dark Mode
Added keyboard shortcuts with dynamic overlay, full Dark Mode with system detection, and Steam Cloud integration via Steamworks.NET. Language sync added using C#/JS interop. Reworked Relativ display, moved language settings to modal, and enabled DevTools via launch args.
Selling on Steam & Minimal Model Release
Pushed the WTF Minimal Model live at minimal.wtf-model.com with 50 descriptions and no overlays. Set up forum previews, Steam deployment via WPF/.NET 8, and CI/CD with Azure ACI. Public repo, intro video, and PDF planned for 2025. Full release delayed but progressing well.
Azure Exploration & Certifications
Completed Azure's AI-900, DP-900, and SC-900 certifications after years of hands-on use. GPT-4o helped deepen service knowledge like Purview, Intune, CosmosDB, etc. Refuse to pursue further certs due to 12-month recert rules. WTF model release coming in 2024.
Discourse Forum via Azure IaaS
Launched a Discourse-based forum at forum.wtf-model.com for WTF Model discussions. Used Bitnami image on Azure and a custom .NET8 app to auto-post entries via API. Handled image merging, metadata, and rate limits. OAuth 2.0 login enabled; all content now accessible.
IaaS to PaaS: Migrating to Shopify & Webapps
Migrated WTF project from Azure VM to Static Web Apps for cost and scalability. Replaced WooCommerce with Shopify and refactored backend logic into Azure Functions using C#. Integrated key generation, storage, and GitHub Actions deployment. Total cost now under €25/month.
Fabric.js, YAML Pipeline & Model Category
Added Fabric.js-based drawing tools, improved public/private code split via pipeline, fixed file permissions on Azure, and introduced final 'Model' structure using Domain and Flow logic. With rotation updates and UI cleanup, the WTF Model is now feature-complete for release.
Typescript: Partial Migration, Book & Exam
Learned TypeScript via Boris Cherny’s O'Reilly book and W3Schools cert, passing with 90%+. Integrated TS into the WTF model for settings and globals, though full migration is postponed. Strong typing will benefit the project long term; initial forced migration attempt failed.
AI Refactoring for larger files
Refactored my bloated 2800-line description.js with GPT-4o. It quickly trimmed it to 1800 lines, preserving full functionality with cleaner logic. Despite minor bugs in positioning, AI saved time and effort. Testing remains essential, but AI refactoring proved highly effective.
New: Visual Scope Identifier
Added dynamic visual markers to distinguish Local (line) and Global (circle) Scopes. Updated icons for both scopes and redefined Perspective as horizontal vs. vertical resolution. Improves clarity but may need further refinement to avoid confusion for new users.
Oscillating Circuit: LC Charging & Discharging
Mapped coils and capacitors into the WTF Model as curvature (center/global) and interruption (periphery/local). Explained their energy roles and symmetry, then related charge cycles to the WTF Cycle. Added visual overlays for inductance/capacitance across serial-parallel scope.
