Caring Connections

Inspiration

Mental Health is something that many people suffer from especially in COVID-19, and we thought that making an app to relieve stress and anxiety would be the most beneficial way to help solve this problem. Sometimes people have a hard time talking about their feelings or insecurities, so we want to offer an open ear to listen or just talk to when they feel like they have nobody, or if they are scared to talk to their loved ones. Our app is designed to reduce their negative feelings and bring positivity to them and their surroundings!

What it does

Our app provides a positivity quote generator, ASMR tools that change colors and sound, inhaling and exhaling exercises, and daily check-ins!

How we built it

We used Thunkable and Firebase to create our app!

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we faced were lots of technology issues! We used a website called Thunkable to make our app, and it kept crashing! Every time it crashed, it would delete work we had just added onto the page. Another issue we ran into was coding and finding that one error in the code would stop the code from running. With the help of our four mentors, we were able to successfully find those errors and successfully run our code!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Some accomplishments we achieved were running many functions, such as the inhaling/exhaling exercises, random quote generator, daily check-in, and just delivering a successful prototype!

What we learned

We learned how to deal with technology errors, fixing minor issues that were very very important, for-loops, creating a sign-in for our app, and the importance of teamwork!

What's next for Caring Connections

In the future, we plan on adding a Gratitude Journal, 911 Hotline, Games for Anxiety and ASMR Page, add in a settings page, and finish all our other pages!
