After the app was developed, it was tested to make sure that it worked as expected and any bugs that were encountered was fixed. Each team member designed a minimum of one emotion page and selectively picked the design, layout, and theme of each emotion page. Imgur stores images and provides URLs to access each image. For the backend, it was decided against using a database, since storing images in a database would have been an unnecessary layer to add when another alternative existed that simplified development, which was Imgur. The frontend of the app was built using React, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Developmentīefore the app was started to develop, what languages and framework to use was discussed. A color was chosen for every emoji represented within the app.
When choosing a color theme, a unanimous decision was made to use pastel or pastel like colors. Designįigma was used to create a prototype of the design that was used in the app. A Google folder was used to hold all our documents pertaining to the project. To help navigate the creation of the web application, user stories were also used. Trello was used to gather resources and keep track of the progress made while building the app. Various mental health and Islamic websites gave us ideas on what issues and solutions should be included. We also used popular social media sites, such as Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter, as inspiration to help make a feed that the audience was familiar with. A few apps like the ‘Tappily’ and the ‘Sujood’ were used as inspiration. There weren’t any mental health apps for the same user population. Research was then done to find similar apps that were built prior to The Good Feed. Mental health was chosen as this issue is not often discussed within our communities and is relevant to current events. The team started by brainstorming if the app was going to be a web application or a mobile application, deciding what the app should be about, the audience it would target, and how it’s going to make a difference in the Ummah. An emotion navigation bar is also available on each emotion page that allows users to navigate to all the other emotion pages within the app. Once the user chooses an emotion emoji out of the six available options, they are taken to a new page that displays a grid of images that include different quotes, books, videos, podcasts, hadiths, ayahs (verses) from the Quran, and art pertaining to the emotion selected. The Good Feed is a web app that asks the user how they’re feeling that day in the form of a question on the home page. Our user base consists of Muslims who speak English. We want users to leave this app feeling much better about themselves along with more hope and connection to their faith compared to the usage of other social media platforms. We then expanded our original app idea to include mental health and Islamic resources. During these difficult times we wanted to create a platform that would inspire hope and bring beneficial resources to people. The Good Feed started as an idea to create a more positive feed in the age of social media and to eliminate the typical negative feelings that arise from using social media, such as comparison, creating feelings of inadequacy, FOMO, suppressing your feelings, information overload, and feeling lost emotionally and spiritually. A finished and useable product by the end of the hackathon.Focus on design and creating a minimal and user friendly website.User can switch between different pages.Each page is to contain both Islamic and general resources.Our goal was to create a minimal viable product which included the following tasks:Ĭreate 6 emotion pages: Fear, Anger, Sad, Happy, Anxiety, Meh The Good Feed was created as a project for Ummahacks. The app provides general mental health and Islamic resources in the form of a feed. The Good Feed is a web application that is intended to be a resource to help those struggling with mental health, more specifically those who are Muslim.
