Personal AI-powered journaling app — built using Bolt.new

Overview Life in Chapters is a digital journaling experience that transforms personal memories into interactive, visual storytelling. It helps users document life’s meaningful moments, achievements, challenges, losses, and growth in a structured yet emotional way. The project began as a creative exploration of how AI and modern UI tools can make reflection feel immersive and personal.

Challenge Most journaling tools feel either too plain or too structured, and users end up losing emotional connection. I wanted to build something that feels human, beautiful, and thoughtful, where each life event becomes part of an evolving “timeline book.”

Ideation: Explored emotional journaling experiences that merge simplicity and storytelling.

Prompt Engineering: Designed every UI element inside Figma Make and Bolt.new through natural language prompts, from layout to background interactions.

UI Design: Created a single, clean flow that opens with “Write Your First Chapter,” making journaling feel like starting a story rather than filling a form.

Categories: Added dynamic categories, Achievement, Memory, Growth, Challenge, Loss, Setback, Illness, Change, to reflect life’s spectrum.

Interaction Design: Used subtle icons and background animations to make each entry feel alive.

Testing: Wrote six chapters representing real-life milestones to validate tone, emotion, and flow.

Outcome A minimal yet emotionally resonant journaling platform that blends creative storytelling with interactive UI. Users can document milestones, choose themes, and visualize their personal growth, all powered by AI-assisted creation tools.
