Comment

Inspiration :

Loneliness. Stress. Anxiety. 😞 This words have become common in our society and negative emotions that is taking away the spark and brightness present in us. It makes the person feel low and depressed making self love much more important. We are forgetting our near and dear ones. We are forgetting ourselves and hampering our precious mental health.

What it does :

MindShare is an application made for the community that includes all of us. It is an application that gives you a way to share your thoughts freely with anyone in a safe space to get relaxed and feel loved. ❤️

There are two channels available :
1) Chat : It gives you an option to create a safe end-to-end encrypted space to share your thoughts, emotions freely with your loved ones. It also shows motivating quotes to motivate you. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
2) Music : It gives you a playlist of some meditation songs to help you meditate or just listen while doing your work to make you feel peaceful and calm down the negative thoughts. It also displays motivational quotes to help you get charged up. 🎼 ✨

This application will help oneself find their inner peace, be energized and motivated again. It will also help them feel relaxed by sharing their thoughts and the things going inside their head and heart with their loved ones.

How we built it :

This application is made using React JS, Node JS, HTML, Javascript, SCSS, CSS. First I got the idea of making something for the community to solve the issue of mental health. To start I worked on the chat application, that was build to give users a private space to share their thoughts and ideas freely. End-to-end encryption was added to protect their privacy. Next, motivational quotes were added to energize them. To give an option to meditate and relax I added a music player containing some relaxing songs to lighten up their mood. It also has motivational quotes. Finally, to add authorization SAWO API was used to give them a way for password less login.

Challenges we ran into :

There were a few challenges which I ran into while building this imagination of mine into reality.

First, was getting the music player look and function the way I wish it should. It took me a bit of time to understand how to implement it successfully and add icons, cover images to make it look more beautiful and pleasing for the user.

Second, was integrating the SAWO API, I had successfully integrated the API but was not able to redirect it to next page. For this I searched the documents which helped me figure out the correct way and find a way to tackle it. As the package I used is still in build I had to find some other way round. But it made me learn a lot of new things.

Finally, while uploading the application on GitHub it was not able to upload chatfrontend. For this I searched the net and found the solution to it.

Overall, while building and innovating this project I faced some issues which kept me on my toes but it also helped me learn a lot, grow and upskill myself.

Accomplishments that we're proud of :

I am proud that I was able to turn my imagination into reality and create something that can help everyone in getting positive vibes. I am also proud that I overcame all the challenges, learnt from them, and made the application up and running. I also learned how to integrate API's, and create a music player.

What we learned :

Building and innovating is the best way to learn something new. I learned a lot during this process. I learned how to tackle problems, come up with a solution and then implement it as per our needs. I also learned how to use SAWO API's and how to build a music player that plays the songs I wish to.

What's next for MindShare :

MindShare is a product of my will to make a society that is filled with positive vibes and imagination to solve it. For the next, I am planning to add in a feature of some relaxing and peaceful games that can be played with friends which will help them feel loved and more connected while relaxing them.
