Mindful

Inspiration

We wanted to create a way we could digitally record our thoughts so we wouldn’t forget them. Too many times it has happened where something came to mind (a book idea for later, a mental to-do/grocery list, music suggestions from friends) only for us to forget what our thoughts were and where they were heading.

What it does

With Mindful, you have the mind of an elephant, you never forget. Through typing or transcribing your thoughts and being able to revisit them later you have it all in Mindful.

How we built it

We created a website that utilizes HTML5, CSS and Javascript.

Challenges we ran into

We originally wanted to include speech recognition, but due to time constraints and our lack of experience we decided that it could be a possible add on in the future. Another issue was that we wanted it to originally be formatted as an app but unfortunately we lacked sufficient experience to implement that plan.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the minimalist design of the site through the use of a simple elephant mascot and clean tiles.

What we learned

Time constraints are no one's friend, however it's possible to put together a hack under time constraints when you have a good team to work with.

What's next for Mindful

We hope to include speech recognition, implement a database, and provide the option for different categories and the ability to color code those categories. Also, we hope to eventually offer this as an app.
