Zen Bubble

A web app for making community mental health help accessible and easier, with nearest locations to professional help as well as other resources.

Technologies Used:

Front-end was designed using Express, CSS3, Javascript, Jquery and Bootstrap framework.
Back-end was supported using Node.js
MongoDB database is used to store the registered users and their details as well as a temporary database for matched users in community help page.
We used bcrypt.js to hash the passwords in our database to ensure security of out users against any kind of data breach
We used passport.js to authenticate our users
Azure Maps was used to render the nearest professional help resourses on a map of the current location of the user
npm sentiment Analysis API to analyse the sentiment of the feelings submitted by the user and determine a score on a scale of -5 to +5. This score is then used to match - users with contrasting scores who are willing, to have a conversation such that the user with a positive score can help out a peer with a negative one.
Pusher.js was used to implement the push notifications system for our chat rooms.
