I always wrote things I thought other people wanted to read. Now I have shifted from planning to just sitting down and writing what I felt like, what I would write in my personal journal. This came out.

Too honest, too raw, too me.

Let me know if you like it, and please subscribe to my Substack, I've ran out of people to pressure!

🫧📒 Digital Journal for Self-Reflection ✨

[ PROBLEM ]

In a busy world filled with work, responsibilities, and constant distractions, many people lose touch with their emotions, needs, and personal goals

While journaling can improve self-awareness and well-being, traditional journals are not always practical to use every day

[ SOLUTION ]

I created Digital Journal that makes self-reflection simple and accessible

The app helps users:

💎 Track mood and energy 💎 Reflect on daily experiences 💎 Practice gratitude 💎 Capture thoughts, memories, and dreams 💎 Build greater self-awareness over time

The goal was to combine the convenience of digital tools with the warmth of a scrapbook-style journal

[ TOOLS TESTED ]

During the Makeathon, I explored and tested:

✔️Claude + Figma MCP for generating initial wireframes ✔️Figma AI Agent for early concept exploration and wireframing ✔️Figma for core pages visual design ✔️Figma Make for building and testing the interactive prototype
