LIJR allows you to keep track of different aspects of your life. This app is a tool designed to help you in your personal growth and to serve as a GPS when you wonder 'How did I end up here?'.
At the core of the app are the journal entries and the life aspects. Journal entries have a date and text where the user can write about a certain event or how they are feeling. An entry can be linked to different life aspects. For example, a user can write about a holiday trip and link it to their buckelist goals, to the list of things that bring them joy or with their relationships with their travel companions.
The app will allow the user to filter their journal entries by different life aspects.
A timeline feature allows the user to get a general view of how they have felt or what kinds of things have happened at a certain moment in their life.
Web client Framework: React and plain CSS State management: Redux Tagging manager: react-tag-input
Database: MongoDB and Mongoose as ORM Server: GraphQL
Dev dependencies:
- @faker-js/faker → Allows generation of mock data
- Add a light theme (use a similar background color as the site https://dribbble.com/)
- Implement a mentions system such as in here to link journal entries with tags, or implement the whole life aspects and measurables part of the app
- Create a list of questions that randomly pop up in the user's dashboard, to trigger journal entries
- Implement an emotional level of vibration system to link journal entries with a certain emotional state
- Two possible ways of linking entries to emotional states:
- AI: Make an api request to evaluate the emotional state of an entry
- Implement a circular menu so that when the user saves a journal entry, they have to necessarily click on the emotional state they feel that entry is about
- Give the user the possibility to save their data locally
- Create a community feature so people with similar emotions and mood can connect, share and help each other
