Inspiration

Mental wellness has been increasing in awareness and should be taken seriously however there are not many resources that also help those who care about individuals that are struggling.

What it does

This app allows for daily check ins that the individual can share to close friends and loved ones and helps when the individual does not want to text or call anyone but wants to be in their own space.

How we built it

This was built using React, HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Challenges we ran into

Attempted to do backend with MongoDB and flask however encountered numerous issues that could not be resolved. Front end developers Michelle and Jaeyeon only created a single webpage with React prior and had to learn how to do forms and calendar. Michelle attempted to recreate a chatroom using Google Firebase, but had difficulties with the user authentication and token creation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Front end developers Michelle and Jaeyeon were able to complete the calendar, sign-up and login pages with an animal companion!

What we learned

Learnt how to use react calendar, forms and although still not working some flask.

What's next for buddy;

Adding more features after main issues of having a backend to save user profiles.
We would like to add more choices for companion icons, AI to the companions to assist the individuals that are struggling.
Authentication for sign up and logins
More choices for moods and highlighting those moods in the daily check-ins indicated on the calendar
Adding resources for helping links and hotlines
Adding support groups that individuals can join
