Inspiration
As a kid (even still now) I would always write to myself and make my messages very discrete and hidden in hopes when I grow older I would read it. This has started 2 years after Covid-19 hit, which impacted a lot for my social life, but writing to myself gave me comfort in my hard times so I wished as a kid people would see why I loved writing to my future me.
What it does
Its a pretty simple app, its basically lets you make a letter to yourself and be able to lock it until that exact date comes.
How I built it
I used ccs, javascript, and html.
Challenges I ran into
One of the biggest challenges I ran into was making the animation for the letter to open work! I got pretty frustrated at one point that I wanted to quit it, but I kept going. On top of that, one current challenge is trying to get the lock feature to work. (which I'm still working on)
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This is my first actual project I have done, and it makes me feel happy and full of myself that I was able to do something that my younger me would have wanted.
What I learned
I learned how to make animations using html and I learned how to deal with errors in code that would make someone want to quit.
What's next for Dear-me-
I am going to start making this into a real app with more smoother and better for people to use in hopes that people in the end would learn to love themselves for who they are!
