Purpose:

The app is called “Help Me” and is designed primarily as an “SOS” (distress signal) to a selected circle of trusted people when someone is going through a mental health crisis. The goal is for the user to build a trusted community around themselves with private conversations and provide a system to show the user's range of emotions.

Motivation:

The ultimate motivation was to provide support to our friends and family who suffer from mental health issues.

This app was built with the following technologies:

Angular: A JavaScript framework for building single-page client applications using HTML and TypeScript.

GitHub: Web-based version control repository and Internet hosting service

Adobe XD: A wire-framing tool used to create a mockup/visual of what is to be coded

JavaScript: Object-oriented programming language for web pages

HTML: Mark-up language for creating web pages

CSS: A formatting language for styling web pages

MongoDB: A document (NoSQL) database that uses JSON-like documents with optional schemas

DigitalOcean App Platform: Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that allows developers to publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
