Inspiration

I wanted to create an AI generator for nature noises and ambience sounds to reduce stress and anxiety for people.

What it does

There are three separate features in the app, there is a journal, where you can write entries, and read old ones. I also built a breathing exercise that is a guided inhale and exhale. My most ambitious part of the project was implementing ElevenLabs to intake text prompts and outputs sound effects.

How I built it

I used React for my framework with Vite running my application. Node.js was used for the backend

Challenges we ran into

Integrating my API key from ElevenLabs and getting it to be authenticated had me spent for 4 hours. Only to lead nowhere.

I struggled with git push and git pull giving me "fatal" errors for the last 45 minutes of the Hackathon.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Not giving up on myself. Drinking 14 Red Bulls in 24 hours. Spending the whole 24 hours up and awake coding. Brainstorming multiple project ideas. Leading my own team.
