An app that texts users daily, waits for a numeric response, and displays emotional change

Fine-and-You
An app to promote mindfulness and track emotions

** USE THE SOLO-JANEHAZEN BRANCH TO SEE CODE **

At my first job out of college I worked at a rehab that focused on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a treatment that encourages people to be mindful of their emotions. To help followers of DBT track how their emotions shift, I created an app that will text you every day, wait for a numeric response, and graph these daily “feels” in a simple, elegant line graph.
