Project Proposal
FUPS (For User Progress) is a self-help/social media application where users can monitor the mistakes they make in life and get data for improvement.
The idea originated from a users need to track daily mistakes in order to improve their life. FUPS will allow users to post their daily mistakes and view others (anonymously), which will create an environment that accepts fumbles and also offer entertainment/comfort from other people's mistakes.
The app will have user auth which will only need an email and password for user privacy. Each user will have a private profile page/dashboard where they will be able to post their daily mistakes or experiences. We will then use Google’s text sentiment analysis API (Cloud Natural Language) to track the posts and categorize them.
On the user dashboard, we will display data about the areas of life that we identify you mess up most, as well as constructive feedback. The data displayed here will be over time and should hopefully show an improvement trajectory.
For example: “Got yelled at this morning for cutting someone off in traffic” would prompt feedback like “Driving can be hard. Here are some resources for improvement! www.linktodrivingresources.com”
The site will also have a newsfeed page where posts are completely anonymous but can be upvoted for support from fellow improvers.
- Users can sign up, sign in, and log out
- Users can use a demo account to test the website
- User will have a profile page
- Profile page displays the user's data (made in a later MVP)
- Profile page has a FUPS form (to post new FUPS)
- Profile page includes a FUPS index (to display all of the user's FUPS)
- Users will be able to post FUPS through forms on profile and feed page
- Anonymous FUPS will be shown on index page that all users can see
- User's can view their data on their profile page
- Display analytics on FUPS sentiment category analysis
- Weekly and overall data of user’s FUPS
- Summary cards to inform users of possible improvements
- Users will be able to upvote/react to FUPS on the feed
- Users will only be able to upvote once per post/ there will be a counter keeping track of upvotes
- Reactions (bonus feature)
FUPS uses the MERN stack and the Google Cloud Natural Language API to to identify key words in sentences which we will identify as being problem words. Those words will then be logged in a table in the database and we will have an associated counter for every time the same word is used. We will have associations to find repetitive connections between the keywords used in the same post and we will pass those keywords into LMGTFY (or something similar) which will give the user the Google results they need.
