@Kaplin867+Day 30/365
Today I started working on a hytale mod for the hytale mod jam!!! I got some building generation to work :D
Basically the idea is that there is like this city with enemies that drop batteries (since the theming is 'echoes of the machine') and you can trade the batteries with a specific NPC to get cool items, and there might also be a boss if i dont scope creep too much. also thinking of maybe making everywhere outside the city desert, and theres a boss in the desert! also got lore in mind!!
@qwwertyz5day 30
• I got my apple pencil!!
• grinded econ
• did an arcane art study
@seven7+Day 30 (or 9)
• Did some work on my game, but not enough lol, got side tracked
◦ Made the ability to pick up objects
◦ Made different directions of conveyors
◦ Made a basic escape menu
◦ All of this is stalling on making bigger features
▪︎ Player placing mechanics of conveyors and mroe
▪︎ Machines and more (includes planning actual game loop:cryin:)
• Watched too much TV again
• Went to session zero of a DnD game
Got a vrc tournament tomorrow, have to get up at 4:30AM :heaviestersob:
@Hanako1Days 29 and 30/365:
- Got through Day 18 of Onshape
- Finally took apart that calculator! With the help of a friend in engineering, I got the calculator working (as well as it did before, anyway) even with half the case missing! Its battery has a problem and it still won't actually turn on (it gives a "validating OS..." message, shuts off, reopens, gives that message again, shuts off, so on indefinitely; that was the initial problem that had given me an excuse to take it apart), so tomorrow I'd like to swap out the battery with a better one to see how the calculator runs when it should be fully functional.

@pi.objnullIntroductory Post
Hello hack clubbers ! this is my first post here (i found out about this today), My name is Piyal and Im from India. An aspiring Software Engineer still in high school !
I have a dozen of hobbies, some are physical activities and other are mental :) , i like painting, singing, coding, judo, swimming, jamming, and most of all making.
I make all kind of things. Props, Videos, Films, Brands (yeah like whole of it), electronics and anything humanly possible. creating something that is way above my skill sets is what thrills me. I recently wrote, designed and self published a book too, (sorry for my English friends, it's in my native but im thinking of releasing a translation soon! ) @William jamesnullWhat Is Guest Posting & Why It Matters for SEO
Guest posting is a really good strategy for SEO that sticks around for the long haul.Guest posting is basically when you write stuff and put it on other websites or blogs that are about the same kind of things you write about.The main idea of guest posting is simply to offer something useful to a different audience, and in return, you get seen by more people. In the current competitive online environment, businesses and marketers use guest posting not only for link building but also for trust establishment, referral traffic, and long-term results. When done correctly with the assistance of a Guest post management tool, guest posting becomes a scalable and effective SEO tactic rather than a time-consuming process.
Understanding Guest Posting in Simple Terms
In essence, guest blogging is a joint venture between two websites. One website publishes an article written by a guest blogger, while the blogger gets exposure and typically a backlink to his or her website. This is an arrangement that benefits both parties. The website gets quality content, while the blogger gets exposure and improves his or her SEO profile.
Guest blogging is more than just dropping links or posting low-quality stuff on a bunch of different sites.It's really about how relevant, trustworthy, and helpful something is.Google, and other search engines too, really seem to prefer websites that earn natural mentions from trusted places.Having your guest post featured on a good website seriously boosts your site's visibility in search engine rankings.
How Guest Posting Works Step by Step
The guest blogging process begins with finding relevant websites that allow guest posting. You want to find websites that are in the same business and reach the same kinds of people as your own site.Okay, so once you've figured out which websites are a good fit, the next thing you do is reach out. You want to suggest some content ideas that totally line up with what those sites are looking for.
After your proposal gets the green light, you'll write some great stuff. The idea is to make sure what you write really helps our readers out, whether it's by teaching them something new, giving them good info, or helping them figure out a problem.The website puts out stuff, and sometimes it'll have a link going back to the guest blogger's site.As time goes on, the website gathers good backlinks, which helps its domain authority.
Why Guest Posting Is Important for SEO
Guest posting is important for SEO because links are still the most powerful ranking factor in search engine algorithms. When authoritative sites link to your content, search engines consider this a vote of confidence. The more authoritative the links, the more powerful their effect on rankings.
Getting your posts on other sites is great for getting your brand name out there, showing you know your stuff, and spreading your content around.When you guest post on popular sites, it's a great way to introduce your brand to a whole new audience that might never have heard of you before.Just doing this can lead to more searches for your brand, more sharing, and people coming back to your site again and again. These are all good things for SEO, even if they're not direct.
The Relationship Between Guest Posting and Domain Authority
Domain authority is a measure that predicts the ability of a website to rank on search engines. Although it is not a Google metric, it is very close to the measure of link strength and trust. Guest blogging helps build domain authority by acquiring links from sites that already have high domain authority and relevance.
When your site is able to acquire links from high-quality guest blogging posts, search engines start considering it a trustworthy source of information on a particular topic. This helps your site rank better for competitive keywords.
Traffic Benefits Beyond Search Engines
One of the most underappreciated benefits of guest blogging is referral traffic. Visitors who are interested in your guest post are likely to click through to your site to learn more. Visitors from referral traffic are often highly engaged and likely to convert compared to random traffic.
Guest blogging can also help you diversify your traffic sources. Depending on search engine traffic alone can be dangerous because of algorithm changes. By leveraging relationships with publishers and visitors through guest blogging, you can create a steady stream of traffic that is less likely to be affected by sudden changes in rankings.
Building Authority and Trust Through Guest Posting
Your authority is established when your expertise is featured on various trusted platforms. Guest blogging enables you to establish your authority by posting valuable insights, case studies, and tips. Over time, people start recognizing your name or brand, which boosts your authority.
Trust is a crucial factor in a competitive niche. When your content is featured on trusted sites, it serves as social proof. People are likely to trust your products, services, or advice because trusted sites have already vouched for your authority by publishing your content.
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Guest Posting
The reason why many marketers do not get any benefit from guest blogging is that they do it in the wrong way. Posting an article on an irrelevant or low-quality site may even have negative effects. Search engines are developed enough to detect any manipulative link-building tactic.
Another mistake that many marketers make is that they only concentrate on link building and not on content quality. A guest blogging post should have some value for the readers. Low-quality or promotional content is not accepted by the editors and is not appreciated by the readers either.
Scaling Guest Posting Efforts Effectively
However, when businesses scale, it becomes difficult to handle guest posting manually. It becomes difficult to keep track of emails sent for guest posting, links published, anchor texts, and live URLs. This is where organized systems and tools play a crucial role in achieving success.
At the heart of a scalable guest posting process, tools such as guestpostcrm assist in organizing outreach and keeping track of published links and records without losing control of the process.
Measuring the SEO Impact of Guest Posting
To figure out if guest posting is working, you really need to keep an eye on some important numbers.When your keywords move up, organic traffic increases, and your domain authority looks better, those are all really good signs things are going well.Checking things like how many people click through from a guest post, how long they stay on the page, and if they bounce right off, gives us a good idea if those posts are actually connecting with readers.
Keeping an eye on backlinks lets us make sure those guest posts we put out are still live and haven't just disappeared."This helps keep the links good and makes sure our SEO doesn't take a hit.
The Long-Term Value of Guest Posting for SEO
Guest posting is not a short-term strategy. The real power of guest posting comes from building authority over the long term. When you build strong publishing relationships, you can look forward to repeat publishing opportunities, better placements, and even editorial trust.
With the ongoing emphasis on quality, relevance, and user experience, guest posting is a strategy that fits perfectly with these ideals. It is centered on creating valuable content for real people while also acquiring natural links.
Final Thoughts on Guest Posting and SEO
Guest blogging is still one of the most trustworthy and efficient methods in the SEO industry if done with quality, relevance, and consistency. It helps in link building, brand exposure, authority, and traffic generation simultaneously. Instead of looking for shortcuts, those who work on genuine guest blogging campaigns experience consistent results.
To handle the campaigns effectively and ensure consistency in the long run, many marketers use an automated tool that helps in guest blogging. @Kaplin867+Day 29/365
I made it so my game's steamworkshop uploader can now update pre-existing mods! It also properly uploads images (assuming the mod has an icon). I talked with my club members online and we got polygon submitted :D@StephenKing-U0498TGUX0B1For today, I:

@seven7+Day 29 (or 8)
• No school because exams are over, but I still went in to do some work on the robot
• Robot is finished
◦ Well, we didn't write auton because everyone (all two of us) were tired of doing robotics on a day we werent supposed to be there
◦ Packed
◦ Did however setup lemlib, even though it wont be very accurate because all we have is an IMU, no encoders
• ACTUALLY GOT THE CONVEYORS IN MY GAME TO WORK!
◦ apparently, when working with vectors and transforms, THE ORDER THAT YOU MULTIPLY THINGS MATTERS
• Watched more Andor, can confirm, still a peak show
Tomorrow is lock in time for my game
@Kaplin867+Day 28/365
I got steam workshop upload to work!! Okay maybe not entirely again lol. It does add for new items, but I havent set up updating pre-existing mods. Probably going to add that here in a minute, just wanted to keep the streak alive!!@seven7+Day 28 (or 7, hey thats me)
• Did an exam and presentation today.
◦ History exam was way easier than I expected, and also my history teacher is insane, the answers were like all Bs and Cs, and I wasnt the only one who got that
• Took the robot home to do work on it here because we are running out of time
◦ Our last day to work is tomorrow, and we have to pack for comp on saturday.
◦ No auton yet, gotta do tomorrow
• Rewatched like half of Andor because I was lowkey kinda sick
thats about it, not nearly productive enough, I watched way too much TV
@AkshatSharma7+Day 27/365:
• Most of the day went to studying lowkey
• I locked in for cs
• Ehh that's about it lowkey
@max0Since I wasn't able to find a nice interval timer for training I built my own. It's a simple web-app written in raw html, css and js! Currently you can configure your own timer and while the timer is running you get visual feedback on the status + sound alerts if the phase changes. The code is at github.com/maxc0des/web-timer go check it out open a pr and leave a star (would be amazing)!!
It's live at maxc0des.github.io/web-timer
@qwwertyz5day 28
• collapsing from tests but at least it's all over
• I have to work on my game secretly bc my mom thinks I'm wasting time:heavysob:
• It's 8pm but I think I'll go to bed
• remembered about poptropica, let's see how much childhood memory I can catch up on:thinking_face:
• finished pixel, going to binge another movie tmr
@Hanako1Day 28/365:
• Started work on the track for my game, the first 18 seconds are attached (seeing as that's all I currently have). The full track should ideally be 3+ minutes long
• Did days 16 and 17 (hehe) of the Onshape tutorial
• Drew a sticker for flavortown
• Most of the snow has melted by now and school reopens tomorrow, which sucks on the one hand...but on the other, that means I can finally take apart that calculator tomorrow!@Kaplin867+Day 27/365
Today was fun! I played a handful of games, and started work on the workshop uploader for one turret. Im starting off by making it so the game loads all your published items, that way i can easily make it so you can update pre-existing items. It adds them to a dropdown ui. Outside of that I cleaned the snow off the car and used some of the icy chunks to make a wall. Heres a bad photo lol.
@qwwertyz5day 27
• 2 more subjects to go... I'm so ready to give up:sleep-wx:
• I wanted to make a new game, roulette gave me a 2d isometric exploration digital game so instead of studying I wrote 700 words of lore and no code. 👀basically you're from the west coast, after exploring you finally come across to the east side and suddenly you discover a new continent in the sky(see concept art). upon rising up you discover the last human beings protecting this world from the Fading
• watching pixel, can't wait to watch horror movie together w my friends on thursday:walter-white:
• da bomb
@seven7+Day 27(or 6)
• Fought with oracle again and got it to work, only to realize that I need to either relocate my entire frontend for my game servers, or expose port 80 on my home net :why:
• More (but not enough) work on my factory game. I thought I was done with conveyors, but no, im not. They still dont properly handle being rotated :cryin: I already spent 5 hours trying to make damn conveyors, I dont want to spend more.
• Started rewatching Andor (great show, go watch it lol)
• Played a few games, but not much because I spent like 4 hours watching Andor
• SNOW DAY AGAIN
◦ I feel very conflicted because on one hand, yes snow days are awesome, but on another, we now have two exams on the same day (supposed to be separate days) and I have way less time to finish our robot before the competiton on saturday.
ALSO GODOT 4.6 IS AMAZING (don't think I mentioned it yesterday)
Pretty good day, I'll attach a video of the current state of my conveyors (if anyone has advice, it would be greatly appreciated):@Hanako1Day 27/365:
• Day 3 of sledding, the snow wasn't as slippery today, so it was way less fun. Probably the last I'll sled all year knowing the weather in my area...
• Implemented that system for my Flavortown game...then realized it was trash and removed it. I'll have to compose a new track for the game eventually (hopefully tomorrow; knowing myself, probably not)
• Opening that calculator will have to wait until Thursday, my school is cancelled tomorrow as well
• Finally did some more work on my macropad! I had been stuck on configuring the keys...and to be honest, I still am, but I'm a little further than before, so that's...decent?
• Randomly decided to make this choppy animation for a very birdbrained friend of mine@brny0I built a virtual pet rock that can sit around in your CLI while you program. I think its pretty cool, you should try it out. The hardest part was all the switches in the code. flavortown.hackclub.com/projects/8323
@AkshatSharma7+day 26/365:
• lowkey chill didn't do much
• added a search feature + you can finally update your budgets, if don't like the ones the AI does for you
• abit of physics here and there
@restaurantEntity0Day 26/3653am uhTasks I made progress on:

I love starting work on optional parts of my game that take a shitload of time to implement. Thankfully, a good part of that was completed today, all I need to do now is make the goddamn prologues. I think I'll skimp on the save system for this ship.
siufhsiuelhgeogiurehgisrg we're so close to overglade aaaaaaaaaa
images uhh here's the dialog system working (rn I have it hooked to plain area3ds so you're able to refire them, will have to fix that)

Technically given the fact last post was last midnight, I guess I made two hytale tutorials since last post!!! One about caves and one about ore! How fitting, no?!! okay thats enough exclamation points have a great day or night depending on when you are reading this.

• I gotta start remembering to post
• 5 tests down, 3 to go
• managed to slap this poster together in 2 hours. I might have been better off studying but then again... I want my project to be on there. I'm proud of what I made as a first timer but I don't really like it. probably also bc I had a reference in mind that was 1000 times better than this one
• lots of ups and downs last week. presentations + interview + test + competitions + personal stuff. THE GRIND CONTINUES

alright gang the plan is simple
I ship tomorrow
which means I have to:
• Set up the save system
• Find a clean way to get the time from the timer/clock, compare it with the level's speedrun time, and if it's less that the speedrun time register that level as speedrun
• Make prologues for each chapter (atleast 1 prologue for one chapter)
• Make those prologues unlock when you get all levels in the chapter unlocked
• that's all
veeeery simple
ohwait this is supposed to be a reflection
uhh we had relatives over today, so I was partially locked out but still managed to get 6hrs today. I really don't need to look at hours anymore cause I'm nearly over the hour threshold! Just need to focus on getting the quality and polish in.
tomorrow will make or break my plans for overglade maybe
alr photoes uh this is how the progress system looks like now, I'll change the textures of the buttons later but rn the idea is:
• greyed out = disabled
• no border = unlocked
• white border = completed
• gold border = speedran
alr gn gang long day tmr
@Kaplin867+Day 25/365
I got the steam workshop to sync to the pre-existing modloader i had for github mods. If you hit subscribe for the item, it properly subscribes to it on the workshop! Only real difference is that with the github one, It would retrieve the mod data json so the game knows which version the mod belongs to without needing to download the full mod, however steam does not have such a feature so the "Same version" "same update" and "all" filters dont effect steam workshop mods. When I get more updates out (or more mods come out), i might opt in for the beta steam workshop thing where workshop items are available for specific builds only, meaning you cant download outdated mods. i think. idk. Next I have to add uploading the mod! What im thinking of doing is making it so it auto parses for tags, since my modloader can know what type of elements the mod contains! the weather wasnt that bad today tbh. Its really just a bit cold thats all. We didnt get any power outages like my parents feared!!!

Today was a nice and cozy day! I set up steam workshop fully for one turret!!! Well sorta. In terms of the workshop bit, its all complete. Now I just need to get things like the ingame mod browser and ingame mod uploader to use steamworkshop. But via the steam ui, i can subscribe to items and it will download it properly and my game reads it into the mods!! It also started to snow... oh well I dont think the snowstorm will be THAT bad! (odds are i am going to regret my words)
