The hackathon development period dedicated our team to fast-track 'Inner Compass' mental well-being platform development for its essential features. The team accomplished the development of an 'Instant Mood Booster' feature enabling people to find fast relief through activities that combine breathing exercises and music with soothing sounds along with inspirational affirmations and gratitude journal functions. Our team developed the Mental Health Awareness Questionnaire as an interactive tool to help users perform preliminary self-evaluations and stimulate their contemplation. The application contains a sound player with selectable binaural beat frequencies that displays educational content along with mandatory warnings. Users could access the 'Emotion Wheel Journaling Prompts' to pick their emotions which generated specific writing directions with all entries saved locally. A user-input-based coping skill recommendation system's 'Coping Skill Matcher' was added to the platform. 'Mental Wellness Streaks' became a mechanism to track user engagement because it let users monitor their daily activities. The platform added each day a 'Positive Quote of the Day' combined with reflection questions as a motivational feature for users. The platform builds its structure through React and Next.js technologies while using React Hooks to handle state information. The application relied on localStorage for storing simple data to deliver a solid frontend functionality. User-friendliness along with rapid development led to embracing the styling approach as the design choice. Our main goal involved delivering a working minimum viable product that showcases 'Inner Compass' core feature by making mental wellness tools available for instant access. Our current prototype allows user interaction which showcases functional elements while we are ready to show the product potential for upcoming development.
