🌸☁️ CottonCloud

_A playful wellness and mental health app that helps you unwind, reflect, and grow.


πŸš€ Inspiration

We wanted to create a safe, fun space for people to express their emotions, de-stress, and take better care of their mental health. A lot of wellness tools feel clinical or boring so we made something warm, interactive, and genuinely enjoyable to use.


πŸ’‘ What it does

CottomCloud is a mental wellness app where users can:

  • Log their daily moods in a cute, interactive diary
  • View their emotional journey on a visual calendar
  • Create and customize their own characters
  • Engage with relaxing animations and calming interactions

βš™οΈ How we built it

  • Frontend: React + Vite + TypeScript
  • Animation & Interactivity: TypeScript and custom components
  • Firebase: User Authentification

🧠 Challenges we ran into

  • Getting the animations to feel smooth and engaging while keeping performance in check
  • Getting the calendar to save the mood diary for previous days

πŸŽ‰ Accomplishments that we’re proud of

  • Built a working mood tracker with calendar visualization
  • Created a playful character customization feature
  • Adding animations with sound

πŸ“š What we learned

  • We learned and got more familiar with typescript
  • Better collaboration and time management
  • How to design and keep everything interactive yet cute

🚧 What's next

  • Adding daily mindfulness prompts and breathing exercises
  • Expanding character customization to be more inclusive and diverse
  • Connecting everything to backend
