About this Project:
My partner and I sat down and started to brainstorm ideas on what we would want if an app like this was to exist. We asked people what they thought and used their input to come up with what we have now. One of us would do the base and get the idea down and the other would remake it and add details to the visual aspect. We mainly took inspiration from an artist named ¨Chibird¨ and a few quotes we saw online.
Our project would allow people to vent or talk about how they feel to others and see what other people go through to know that they aren't alone. We didn´t see many apps that do what we're trying to do and that's to create a safe escape and environment for people who need it. The point system and rewards we added would motivate people to take care of themselves and feel like they can work towards something. Being able to help people who are struggling was and is our main goal when we look at this project.

The project was well thought out and presented. I really enjoyed the slides and how the navigation screens were shown. Mental health is very important and I like how you showcased the different ways that the app would let you vent. Amazing job!

This is such a cute project - I love the colors and branding you used and the ghost logo is adorable. I also like how you give the user the ability to do a variety of activities in the app. One big differentiator is the AI therapist. I think that is a unique aspect of your project especially as AI is more and more prevalent. Consider how you would get users who are skeptical of AI to trust that feature - some people get spooked by AI. Overall, congrats on your project - great job!

This project includes multiple innovations worth praise.
1. The use of a soft (soothing) color palette. This will help someone calm down.
2. The use of a mascot (ghost). It relaxes and young users of the app will find it relatable.
3. Option to speak to an AI or Human therapist.
Nice job, recommend you continue to develop the application further

Great design and well thought out project. I would love a bit more info on how the AI would be incorporated into the healing process, but overall this was a really impressive project

I adore this project. It means so much for your to create this app for people who struggle with mental health to be seen and heard. I love the design, it makes me feel calm, and willing to open up about whatever is in my heart. Overall, you worked so hard on this project, it will help so many people out there including myself!
