Inspiration

Mental health is an issue that concerns most individuals and is a topic that is very important to me and I wanted to try and make an impact. I started journaling around a year ago and it has helped me greatly. I also wanted to make a full fledged CRUD app to challenge my developer skills.

What It Does

Users create an account and log into the web app then journal their thoughts and feeling daily. We using machine learning and NLP sentiment analysis to track users mood over time to generate insights.

Technologies

Backend: Python, Flask, Azure, PostgreSQL

Frontend: React, JavaScript

Challenges

Setting up proper and secure multi-user authentication was quite challenging and a good learning experience. Also working with the database was a new challenge.

Future Ideas And Whats Next

I would love to refine the frontend and provide more insights to users about their journal entries. As well as moving all the database to the cloud.
