The problem mentical solves
We have created an app as well as a web-based solution aiming at solving mental health issues especially during the time of covid.
Problems solved-
Web solution-
- It solves the problems of unproductivity by integrating a to-do list application in order to manage schedules better.
- We have included a mental quiz in which you can understand yourself better.
- We have included soothing photographs along with calm music in order to make you feel better playable throughout the website.
- As we all know writing helps us understand ourselves better so we have also included a journaling section where people can record their thoughts.
- Readers are leaders. We have included a section in which people can read all types of books as well as buy them.
- For people who don't want to read lengthy books, we have included a quotes section where people can read and get inspired by famous quotes.
App solution-
- App UI is made for quick fixes to mental health problems.
- Provides various learning paths.
- Has guided journals.
- A quick rescue session.
Challenges we ran into
We were complete beginners in development and had to learn a lot of things on the way. We came across a lot of unexpected errors during API fetching, while applying CSS, while mapping through arrays, and displaying data, we used Firebase for the first time and came across a lot of errors due to change in recent versions.
We had a lot of problems collaborating on Github and using git and had a few merge conflicts too along the way.
Besides we had a lot of communication barriers so our app and web team had a few differences in structure.
