** NOTE: typo in slogan on home page in video: should be "best of analog* and digital" worlds.

Inspiration

Conventional methods of journaling and therapy

What it does

Gives you the best of the digital and analog mental health worlds: private journaling, anonymous discussion, optional thought sharing

How we built it

-C#/.NET Core REST API built on top of Postgres

Typesafe API definitions for Typescript / React / Vite frontend
Websockets for chat
JWT used for auth

Challenges we ran into

We originally used Next, NextAuth and Prisma (T3 stack) but it was more counter-productive than helpful, so we completely pivoted to a Vite front-end and a .NET backend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Clean UI
User-friendly UX
Fully-functioning app in limited time

What we learned

How to build interactive charts in Typescript
How to optimize and index SQL queries
How to time manage, and work together across time zones

What's next for MentalWealth

provide options for more targeted audiences, e.g. pairing enterprise users with professional counselors to encourage openness in a company or on a team.
implement a more complete "balance" system
add the option to schedule voice calls instead of only texting
