[Inspiration] I was inspired to make this because I had a friend who struggled with depression, short summary is that we talked a lot in grade 5, I switched schools and this was during covid, apparently he became suicidal which really surprised me, sure, I talked to him less but I didn't know everyone talked to him less and he became lonely. It's also that I've sometimes just felt lonely sitting alone in my room doing hackathons while all my friends kinda rejected me but its fun, really want other people to reach out to me more. This product does exactly this.

[Learned and Challenges] I learned different things throughout, mostly that AI is really bad at predicting feelings unless there's a really detailed prompt, instagram's html structure is very obfuscated and confusing, with different names for comments, names, captions, etc. I overcame this by using claude cowork to inspect the page and it telling me which elements needed to be modified.

[How it was built] Most of the brainstorming was me, designing the architecture, however most of the code was built by Claude Code (a lot of credit to Claude for this), I can share planning document if you guys need it. For technical specifications, I have included a slide in my video that explains the different tools used.
