Inspiration

Mental stress is the worst of all problems today. It's the root cause of other diseases like diabetes, depression, anxiety and what not. And not many people feel comfortable talking about such issues. So I felt it would be a good thing to create a community which is particularly meant for such people where they can create posts talking about their routine life and express themselves the way they like.

What it does

You need to sign up for an account and then login with the same credentials to get access to the community posts. You can create a post describing how your day was and anything else that you want to talk about. After sharing this post you can view it on the Posts page. Others can view your post and comment on it. You can also reply on some comment with emojis.

How we built it

I used the MERN stack to build this app. For authentication I used firebase. For testing APIs, I used Insomnia. I also used some react components by ChakraUI.

Challenges we ran into

I faced some issues with the emoji-picker-react package so I made myself a one.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was happy that I was able to create the broad aspects of the project. Creating comments and reacting to them with emojis would be my favorite part.

What we learned

I learned about Firebase authentication with React.

What's next for Being You

Adding ways to contact nearest mental healthcare facilities. Healing music and games to calm your mind if you suffer from anxiety.
