Inspiration

It was brought to our attention how many people face similar problems without realizing it, and how often these people think they are the only ones to struggle with a problem like this. Our inspirations mostly came from wanting to help people deal with these sorts of personal problems.

What it does

This project allows you to journal your daily thoughts, negative or positive, and view similarly written daily thoughts marked by keywords. These thoughts are then followed up with an update in 6 months from the user to help others learn how to deal with certain situations.

How we built it

We built it using Django to handle routing, a database, and the html code all in one spot. The benefits of this was having everything in one codebase. The css for the website was made off of the main Django project to give more creative freedom.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled to get fake data, as we had a hard time getting chatgpt to generate exactly what we wanted. We also had some trouble with html forms, as we wanted certain things like a textarea rather than an input with value="text"

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing our first hackathon project as a team was exciting, and being able to bring an almost completely finished project was a big accomplishment, seeing as we are just freshmen.

What we learned

We learned new technologies, along with some of us learning html and css, and others learning django.

What's next for MyJournal

Implementing ai would be an exciting idea, as it would be able to help people connect with others who have dealt with the same things as them in a better manner.
