Most wellness apps are built

Most wellness apps are built on streaks, badges, and guilt-driven engagement loops. Zillinity is built on the opposite premise: "be and become" — presence over performance, with no gamification mechanics designed to make you feel behind.

I designed and built the entire product solo, end to end. Core features include:

- mood-based ambient spaces - two distinct journaling modes (Float for free-flow, Swim for guided depth), -- an AI insight layer called The Mirror that synthesizes patterns across spaces, journal entries, moods, and wins tracked

On the technical side, I migrated the app from Next.js to React + Vite for improved performance, architected the backend on Supabase, and built out the marketing site separately on Astro. UI/UX was designed in tandem with the engineering. Every interaction pattern was built to reinforce the product's anti-gamification philosophy rather than work against it.
