Additional Information

Flutterflow team recently released some exceptional videos to help with the UI problems that I am currently facing. These problems include:

  • I am creating for one set screen and in reality the app will be used in multiple devices of varied sizes. A common guide for getting a size reference is available on android developer guide.

Even though the size that I have chosen makes sense, still due to faulty layout configuration negative spaces/gaps will get affected if the screen size deviates from the standard one.

  • There is a problem in certain pages where I have not utilized the proper method of alignment and simply have relied on the padding.

Development Activity

  • DONE UI changes for capturing Moods

    • DONE Mood Capture Entry on the “Homepage” ATTACH

      • Keys to the design

        • The design should be simple to implement

        • The design should be minimal so that so that the feature of meditation (which is also minimal in design) should seem as running in sync

        • The entry point should convey sparse but useful information about the mood tracking

          • Information such as Total Streak days, Last tracked days, Tracking done today or not should be captured on the “Homepage” widget

          • Sample design that can be used in the project with little tweaks (Credit- Dribble: Habitomic by Soheil Najafi)

      • Final “Mood Capture Entry” on the Homepage
      • The icon on the circle will change its color to “Green” so as to indicate that the tracking for today has been completed

    • DONE Navigate the user to a new page where mood information can be captured ATTACH

      • The design blueprint created in (Notes on building meditation app - Day 5) seem good enough starting point for initial design

      • Flutterflow has a very interesting widget (choicechips) that can be enabled to show the different options as the user selects a specific mood on the mood selection board (Flutterflow: Choicechip documentation)

      • In my previous notes (Notes on building meditation app - Day 5), instead of adding “emotion related word cloud”, it would make more sense to add the probable causes of mood. Below I have added some of the probable causes of the different moods

        • Word cloud for “Sad” Mood

          • Stress, loneliness, grief, illness, fatigue, boredom, rejection, disappointment, insecurity, failure, trauma, change, guilt, envy, lack of purpose, poor self-esteem, weather, hormones, medication, relationship issues.

        • Word cloud for “Confused” Mood

          • Uncertainty, information overload, conflicting instructions, complexity, lack of clarity, decision-making, overwhelming choices, contradictory evidence, disorganization, fatigue, sleep deprivation, multitasking, medication side effects, cognitive impairment, conflicting emotions, sensory overload, lack of direction, unfamiliarity, language barrier, academic pressure.

        • Word cloud for “Indifferent” Mood

          • Apathy, boredom, detachment, lack of interest, burnout, emotional exhaustion, monotony, disillusionment, complacency, resignation, disengagement, indifference, routine, lack of motivation, numbness, dissatisfaction, emotional detachment, unfulfilling experiences, lack of stimulation, feeling disconnected.

        • Word Cloud for “Happy” Mood

          • Love, success, achievement, laughter, gratitude, accomplishment, contentment, friendship, kindness, appreciation, fulfillment, joy, harmony, serenity, optimism, celebration, excitement, relaxation, satisfaction, connection.

        • Word Cloud for “Ecstatic” Mood

          • Triumph, surprise, euphoria, exhilaration, elation, breakthrough, achievement, victory, passion, thrill, bliss, amazement, awe, rapture, wonder, delight, ecstasy, jubilation, exuberance, enchantment.

      • Page implementation

        • The mood selection is linked with the word cloud, with every mood selection enabling a change in the word cloud options

        • Word cloud options are multi-select

        • Back Button navigates to the “Homepage”
