Inspiration

We were inspired by friends in the LGBTQ+ who were harassed online to make a platform for connectivity and inclusivity.

What it does

Our project is an inclusive social application that connects individuals together through posts and a messaging system. To aid users, there is a playground site where people can practice talking skills with an AI that analyzes emotion and gives feedback.

How we built it

  • Frontend: Typescript, React/Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui
  • Backend: Python, FastAPI, and Hume AI
  • Database: Supabase, Drizzle ORM

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues when ensuring the app remained user-friendly and visually appealing, while still meeting accessibility standards such as screen reader compatibility and color contrast guidelines. We also had trouble creating an effective system to prevent harmful content, while still promoting open discussions.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Applications of AI in the playground and emotional analysis. The user-friendly interface that prioritizes the user's mental.

What we learned

We learned the intricacies of AI application, user interface, and properly establishing an inclusive application.

What's next for Alli

We plan to perfect the filtering and ranking system to improve user interface and experience.
