Inspiration
Off My Mind was inspired by the need to provide more safe spaces for individuals to clear their minds and find a way to improve their mental health. Mental health is an important aspect to living one's life and providing a safe and anonymous space for one to clear their mind helps them improve their mental health. This website allows for anyone to share their experiences, random thoughts, pose questions or provide motivational updates. People can share joyful news about their own lives or share certain lived experiences and advice based on what they did and would not do should they go through that experience again.
What it does
The website is a safe space to make a comment about anything that is on a user's mind. It posts the message that the user wishes to share, with the message being anonymously.
How we built it
We built the website using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. This website has many pages (index, welcome, notes, view) to allow users to have a more interactive experience.
Challenges we ran into
A challenge we ran into was formatting website to make it more aesthetically pleasing. As there was a lot of new pieces that we needed to pick up to format the website using CSS and HTML.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud about using JavaScript as this is something we have not used before and has provided us with something challenging to learn more about and take on. We're proud of being able to finish a website with multiple pages that users can interact with. This is an accomplishment we're proud of because having a more interactive website is another step up in improving our knowledge about coding.
What we learned
We learnt about how to use JavaScript in making websites. We also learnt more functions used in the HTML and CSS programming languages to make a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing website. This has taught us more about front-end developing and has provided us with more paths to follow as we strive to continue learning.
What's next for Notes
What's next for Off My Mind is that we will continue working on improving and perfecting user experience with this website. We will continue to monitor how the website functions and look towards adding more pages and different aspects that users can interact with. This will help us set up Off My Mind to be a more interactive experience that is able to help people clear their minds and aid their mental health.
