Inspiration
The inspiration for Kanjo Compass stems from the recognition of the Japanese concept of "kanjo inyu," which encompasses human connection and emotional immersion. This plays a vital role in human interactions and societal harmony. In an increasingly digital and often impersonal world, we saw a need for a space that encourages and promotes empathy, inviting users to understand different perspectives and grow emotionally.
What it does
Kanjo Compass provides a space for people to anonymously share their experiences and perspectives. The goal is to help people broaden their understanding of human emotion by reading about all kinds of people. It also includes a page to guide deep thinking and a chat bot to give tips and resources about increasing empathy.
How we built it
We used React for the front end and Django rest framework for the back end. For the chat bot, we used Google Dialogflow.
Challenges we ran into
Most of us were inexperienced with React, so we had to learn how to use it on the spot. It was also our first time using Dialogflow.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to split the work evenly, resulting in an efficient development process.
What we learned
We learned how to collaborate effectively in coding projects and deepened our understanding of full stack applications.
What's next for Kanjo Compass
World peace.
