Moodify

What is Moodify?

Moodify wants you to stop by, pick a mood and affirmation and give it a listen! Let's soothe what you're feeling. It’s natural to feel deflated, but we all deserve to remember our strength and reconnect with our power.

Technology

Built with

• Frontend UI: ReactJS
• Backend API: PostgreSQL, ExpressJS, NodeJS
• Integrating: Watson Text-to-Speech API, OAuth, Auth0

MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

• User can select from available moods
• Available moods offer unique lists of affirmations
• User can click an affirmation to play message

Additional Nice-to-Have Features

• User Login (OAuth/Auth0)
• Logged in users may edit/create/delete affirmations
• Dropdown to select from different voices to play
• Grounding Exercises post-affirmation

Technical Risks

Adjustments plan :

• Integrating Watson Text-to-Speech might prove more difficult than I anticipate
  • Will troubleshoot using docs
  • If cannot resolve with docs, will reach out to mentor and/or volunteer for help
• I run out of time and get stuck on API implementation
  • App will just call one voice for all affirmations
• Not enough time for OAuth/Auth0
  • Users will be able to play affirmations but won't be able to modify them

Running Moodify:

Post repo clone, do the following:

• Create database

  • createdb moodify_db
