Inspiration
Wellness is an essential part of ones mental health. Yet because of loneliness, work, and stress people often neglect their overall wellness. Our memories are deeply intertwined with our wellness: the good, the bad, and the in between. Their memories are scattered, making it difficult to reflect on the journey of life and what makes it beautiful. This is why we built Astraea, it connects state of mind → with lived experiences → to memory constellations.
We found out that Emotional Journaling helps regulate emotions and benefits mental health. Our primary themes are to store everyday moments of happiness to help self-reflect.
What it does
Astrea is a smart mood journal with:
⤷Stars: This feature lets user store memories in the form of stars. They can write about their experiences and self reflect. Along with this they can include: photos, audio, video. User has the ability to choose and stack favourite memories.
⤷Constellations: User can join their favourite memories to form constellations! Constellations can be associated by a feeling or a place. The user can overlook previous stars & constellations to help feel better or know their progress!
⤷Brighter Day: This is a make tomorrow better feature. Where based on past experiences, and association of tasks & schedules the user gets recommendation of how to make the next day better!

How we built it
We built it with html, flask, css and a SQLite database. Before starting the code, we wanted to ensure we had a clear vision of what we wanted to build, so we created a mockup in Figma.
After finalizing the mockup, we began developing a simple Flask app without any design and then integrated the design into the workflow.
We managed the project using GitHub Issues, dividing the work into tasks, which was essential for staying organized during a time-constrained hackathon.
How we used AI (For Best use of AI track)
We used AI to assist with coding, provide suggestions (when things didn’t work), and help us organize within such a short time.
For example, we initially wrote tasks without any hierarchy, and Claude helped us structure them, ensuring we understood every step.
When encountering bugs, we asked AI for help, and it assisted us in resolving them in no time !
We used Claude in free mode, and GitHub Copilot Pro (from the student pack) to help us with commit issues and deployment.
Challenges we ran into
One of our challenges was integrating all features without making the project over complicated. This required software engineering skills and strong communication and teamwork. We had review sessions to share findings of distributed research. Our biggest challenge was however, sticking to the tight schedule!
What we learned
The most import thing in a 48hr hackathon is time management, planning & task distribution😁
Our team has worked tirelessly to bring forth solutions to the above mentioned wellness challenges. Most importantly, we've learned the importance of perseverance and collaboration in bringing a vision to life.
What's next for Astraea
The sky is the limit and it is endless. Our team will continue to explore new technologies to improve the platform. As for now, we are looking into making our project responsive & support mobile devices. We would love to see how we can build & better something that can contribute positively to wellness & mental health!
