MooDiva

Want to Vibe with Your Mood

Comment

Inspiration

I originally wanted to build something centered around women's health, but with limited knowledge of AI/ML, I explored using APIs instead. Being a solo participant, managing everything myself was a bit overwhelming. And then—right during one of my own period mood swings—the idea clicked. I thought: What if an app could understand your mood and respond with something fun, comforting, or uplifting?
That's how MooDiva was born.

What it does

MooDiva takes in your current mood (like “happy,” “sad,” “motivated,” etc.), runs a mood analysis, and gives back a playful or quirky response. Along with that, it offers:

  • 🎵 A playlist to match your vibe
  • 💬 Fun or comforting advice
  • 🎯 A list of suggested activities you could try while in that mood

How we built it

I built MooDiva using:

  • 🛠️ React, JSX, and CSS
  • 🤖 Help from ChatGPT to overcome challenges and build features
  • 🤝 Integrated Google Gemini API to handle mood analysis and personalized suggestions

Challenges we ran into

1. Technical Barriers

While integrating Google Gemini API, I ran into multiple errors. Eventually, I exhausted the free quota, and to avoid any accidental billing, I created and switched to a mock API I coded myself.
I plan to revisit Gemini integration once I get access to a new quota.

2. Solo Journey in My First Hackathon

This was my first hackathon, and I had to manage everything alone—frontend, backend(i did not add it), design, logic.
I only had partial knowledge of React and coding in general.
I also missed accessing the team-help channels like server support, and academic commitments limited my time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite the hurdles, I managed to bring my idea to life—not perfectly, but meaningfully.
MooDiva reflects what I truly wanted to build, and I'm proud I made it functional and expressive all by myself.

What we learned

  • 🧠 Built a complete React app for the first time
  • 🤝 Learned how to integrate Gemini AI into a real-world use case
  • 💪 Gained confidence working with APIs, prompts, and app structure

What's next for MooDiva

  • 🔌 Fully integrate the Gemini API once quota access is available
  • 🎧 Build an in-app music player for a seamless playlist experience
  • 📺 Embed video players and activity resources right inside the app
  • 🎨 Redesign the UI for a cleaner and more expressive feel
  • 📝 Possibly explore deeper features like journaling or AI chat
  • Build An AI/ML model that actually takes the mood in text format and is trained to give the data in response like advice, playlist recs, activity suggestion.
