“Speak Up and heal together”
Problem Identified
People facing mental health challenges often hesitate to seek help or discuss their feelings due to social stigma, lack of secure anonymous spaces, and fears of identity exposure.
Concept Ideated
The concept was to create a secure, anonymous web app where users can seek help. By combining session-only credentials, real-time peer chats, and verified wellness guides, users can interact without fear of exposure.
Solution Built
We built a React and Socket.io platform supporting real-time group chat rooms and private messages. Using session-based authentication, user identities are kept anonymous, and a MongoDB database securely manages message streams and wellness resources.
Key Contributions & Impact
Coordinated development at MLH's HackByte 2.0 to deliver secure, private communication channels.
Engineered real-time community chat rooms and mood tracking resources with Socket.io.
Constructed secure session authentication protocols to safeguard anonymous user identities.
Earned the Top MongoDB Innovation award for creative database schema design and secure data storage.
