Inspiration
With all of the stress and stimuli that an individual faces daily, we have decided to create a web app that allows you to take a breather and be present in the moment. Inspired by our creative writing teachers, WriteHere gives you a prompt to write about your feelings every day at a random time, between 9 AM and 9 PM, to share with your friends and family.
What it does
When the randomly selected time of the day is reached, the program notifies the user that they can start writing. The app displays to the user a prompt concerning their mood during the day accompanied by a text box below it allowing the user to start typing. After the user submits their text, they can either navigate to the friends tab to read what they wrote or go to the calendar tab to read previous submissions.
How we built it
To build the web app, we used HTML and CSS for the user interface, flask for the framework, and Python for the back end.
What's next for WriteHere
In the future, we will add an adaptive UI that changes depending on the time of the day. Right now the sharing with friends feature is hard coded for proof of concept but we are planning to use Google Cloud Firebase to create an account, authentication system, and a database that stores texts for you and your friends to share.
