MoodSync

## Inspiration Mental health struggles affect millions, yet many feel isolated and lack accessible support. We wanted to create a safe, anonymous space where people can track their emotional journey, connect with others facing similar challenges, and find support without judgment.

## What it does MoodSync is a comprehensive mental health platform with four core features:

Mood Tracker: Log daily moods with emojis, track patterns, view statistics and streaks
Anonymous Support Rooms: Real-time chat rooms where users can talk anonymously based on their current mood
Community Feed: Share experiences, comment on posts, and support others in a safe space
Real-time Notifications: Stay connected when someone engages with your content

All interactions are designed to be supportive, non-judgmental, and accessible 24/7.

## How we built it Frontend: React 18 with TailwindCSS for responsive, mobile-first design Backend: Supabase PostgreSQL database with Row Level Security Real-time: Supabase Real-time for instant messaging and notifications Authentication: Supabase Auth with email/password Deployment: Vercel for continuous deployment

We used a component-based React architecture with real-time WebSocket connections for instant updates across all users.

## Challenges we ran into

Ensuring messages and notifications appear instantly across all users
Making complex UI components work smoothly on small mobile screens
Balancing anonymity with community features like notifications
Creating efficient database relationships between users, posts, comments, and notifications
