      <title>ClassPilot 1st Anniversary</title>
      <dc:creator>Bon Jury Pecaoco</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://dev.to/bonfire404/classpilot-1st-anniversary-188d</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey again everyone,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Its me again, and exactly one year ago today, I released &lt;strong&gt;ClassPilot&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
I originally built it because I was genuinely struggling to handle my own schedule. Between classes, projects, and life, everything was chaotic. I needed a tool that was built by a student, for students to solve one core problem: Time Management.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The development journey over the last year took months of late-night coding, learning from mistakes, and endless debugging. But seeing other students actually use the app to pull their grades up and get their schedules under control has been the most rewarding experience of my life.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What is ClassPilot?&lt;/strong&gt; It’s an intelligent academic tracker designed to help you stay on top of your classes with a massive focus on productivity. It tracks grades, schedules, and gives you a beautiful, distraction-free environment to work in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coming Soon (v2.0.5)&lt;/strong&gt; This June marks a huge milestone for the app, but also a bittersweet one. Version 2.0.5 will be the final major feature update to be added on ClassPilot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For this grand finale, I’m releasing something I’m incredibly proud of: an &lt;strong&gt;offline AI Chatbot system&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s designed to run entirely locally on your device. I believe that as long as curiosity drives you, learning should never stop, even if you don’t have an internet connection this would be very helpful to an area with poor internet connection especially here in Philippines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To the dedicated users who have supported this app from the very beginning: it would be a pleasure for your continuous support. This app stands as proof that &lt;em&gt;meaningful impact isn't defined by the resources we're given, but by the purpose we choose to serve&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to try it out, you can check out the new 1st Anniversary website and download the app here:&lt;a href="https://classpilot.base69.studio" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt; Link to ClassPilot Website / Download.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Photo Clutter Problem: Why Your Gallery is a Mess (and How We Fixed It)</title>
      <dc:creator>Bon Jury Pecaoco</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 10:33:31 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/bonfire404/the-photo-clutter-problem-why-your-gallery-is-a-mess-and-how-we-fixed-it-2mo0</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/bonfire404/the-photo-clutter-problem-why-your-gallery-is-a-mess-and-how-we-fixed-it-2mo0</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you are anything like the average smartphone or PC user, your photo gallery is likely a digital landfill. Nestled among your actual memories are hundreds of accidental screenshots, blurry photos, old receipts, and identical photos taken from slightly different angles.&lt;br&gt;
Digital clutter isn't just annoying to look at, it eats up valuable storage space and bloats device storage. Cleaning this up by hand takes hours, and sending your personal photos to a cloud service just to sort them raises serious privacy concerns.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Enter Swipify.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Swipify&lt;/strong&gt; is an app designed to easily sort, declutter, and remove duplicate photos from your gallery. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  How Swipify Solves the Problem
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instead of relying on the cloud, Swipify is built to be &lt;strong&gt;local and offline-first&lt;/strong&gt;. This means your photos never leave your phone or computer, ensuring your data stays completely private.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1. Tinder-Style Swiping&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sorting through thousands of photos shouldn't feel like a chore. Swipify uses a fun, familiar swipe interface. Just swipe right on the photos and videos you want to keep, and swipe left on the ones you want to trash. You can even sort and organize them directly into folders while you swipe.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2. Instantly Find Useless Photos and Videos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Swipify quickly scans your gallery to flag things you probably don't need like old screenshots, your Ex photos, and even shady documents. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;3. Smart Duplicate Detection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
To help you find duplicates, Swipify looks at the actual visual content of your photos. It easily groups together exact copies and near-duplicates (like burst photos), allowing you to quickly pick the best shot and delete the rest in seconds, we dont use AI models in here we just use the system hidden magic feature. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Available on Android and Windows
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you want to clean up your phone on the go or organize your PC's hard drive, we've got you covered. Swipify is fully supported on both &lt;em&gt;Android&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Windows&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try It Out&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Stop paying for cloud storage you don't need just to host old screenshots. Clean up your gallery locally today.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Download: &lt;a href="https://bonfire69.itch.io/swipify" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Swipify&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;strong&gt;Android&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;a href="https://swipify.en.uptodown.com/windows" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Swipify&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;strong&gt;Windows&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Take note: This is just our very first release! What you see here is just the beginning. Expect many more exciting features and updates in the future.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>ClassPilot v2 Major Updates!</title>
      <dc:creator>Bon Jury Pecaoco</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 02:21:38 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/bonfire404/classpilot-v2-major-updates-5d2g</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/bonfire404/classpilot-v2-major-updates-5d2g</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone!&lt;br&gt;
It's been a while since I dropped an update here, but I'm really excited to share &lt;strong&gt;v2.0.3&lt;/strong&gt; with y'all this is the first stable beta I feel genuinely proud to show off!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What's New in 2.0.3:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Class Suspension and Vacant Time Feature&lt;/strong&gt; – We've brought back the class suspension feature from version 1, now allowing you to suspend notifications for specific dates with custom reasons. We're also introducing the vacant time feature so you can easily see which time slots are free on any given day. This was one of the most requested features, and we're confident it'll make scheduling much more intuitive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liquid Glass Design Overhaul&lt;/strong&gt; – Complete visual refresh across the board. The Manage and Library tab selectors, FAB (+) icon, home screen App Widget, bottom navigation bar, and switch selectors all feature the new liquid glass aesthetic. We've also significantly improved animations throughout the app, especially on modern devices, this was one of the biggest pain points in version 1 that we've now resolved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smarter Backend Infrastructure&lt;/strong&gt; – Completely rebuilt the worker system to handle file uploads and AI reviews simultaneously without server throttling. We're now running with 24/7 uptime and drastically improved response times compared to the resource-limited previous version. We've also made Ember integration-ready to connect across the wider BONFIRE BASE ecosystem. Check out &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://ember.base69.studio/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ember.base69.studio/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and feel free to message us for access if you'd like to explore how the ecosystem works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instant PDF Reading with Ember&lt;/strong&gt; – Introducing Ember, the BONFIRE BASE AI system that connects across our entire platform. Ember now reads PDF attachments directly in the Chat interface with inline display and instant text extraction. This feature works exclusively with documents uploaded by users within the app, ensuring Ember only accesses academic materials as intended. We've also enhanced Ember's communication capabilities. Future plans include enabling Ember to scrape internet data for research across domains like history, news, agriculture, healthcare, finance, and economics, providing higher-confidence results, unbiased information as we continue refining the model through prompt engineering.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Widget Improvements&lt;/strong&gt; – Redesigned the Quote display for better readability, optimized initial load times after phone restarts, switched to a highly compressed splash format, and tweaked the widget for better battery optimization.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enhanced Local Notification Scheduling&lt;/strong&gt; – Re-engineered the notification system to bypass Doze Mode on modern Android devices. Your reminders will now show up exactly when they're supposed to.&lt;br&gt;
New App Logo Fresh liquid glass visual identity to match the refined design language across the app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Looking Ahead:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I'm currently exploring opportunities to &lt;em&gt;collaborate with someone to help redistribute&lt;/em&gt; this app on the &lt;strong&gt;Play Store&lt;/strong&gt; in the future. If you're interested or know someone who might be, feel free to reach out!&lt;br&gt;
This build feels like a real milestone for me. If you're curious about what &lt;strong&gt;ClassPilot&lt;/strong&gt; is all about or want to try it out, check out the website: &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://classpilot.base69.studio" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://classpilot.base69.studio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;QR code scanning for credentials &amp;amp; Wi-Fi&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built-in TOTP 2FA generator (like Google Authenticator)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;System Monitor (Windows-only): CPU, RAM, GPU, ping, Wi-Fi&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LAN Sync (Mobile ↔ Mobile / Desktop ↔ Mobile) using AES-256 &amp;amp; TOTP pairing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cross-platform: Works on Android and Windows. Linux/macOS coming soon!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solo dev project built between May 12 – June 12, 2025&lt;/p&gt;
