Hackthon, from idea — doubt — learn — to Build Solution Which Matters.
I sat for having an intro what i will be implementing and building, i got a reality check of not having enough skills to start this as the initial setup was again a brand fresh face for me.
2024 end 10 days of december, started learning and watching from tutorials and reading documentations of firebase and firestore setup, configuration files and code, inbuilt methods of CRUD on database documents. As soon as i enter into the development phase of Hackthon and started building in January 2025, I ran into Setting up Firebase Authentication & Firestore efficiently. Handling real-time data fetching and managing promises. Presenting mood tracker data in a simple, understandable format for users. Managing React state for first time and making use of context api. (That was the starting point of my REACT and soon MERN stack). And obviously chatgpt was there for summarising and giving me configurations and startup settings.

Challenge Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) presents unique challenges, including memory gaps, emotional regulation, and focus issues. We wanted to create a supportive, easy-to-use digital tool that helps caregivers track emotions, manage triggers, and encourage mindful engagement.
Balance Beacon provides a quick access to the caretaker of the patient to enter the emotions and triggers of the patient then visualize the effects in the chart form, on weekly and daily basis. A dedicated platform for the patient in need of grounding to focus on just one thing by giving the patient some exercises that can be beneficial for both their attention and grounding.
A detailed overview of what we have built and how we contributed can be found on the🔗 Devpost-Balance Beacon site. And the project can be found here 🔗GitHub Repo
Hackthon are great that pushes me out of from my comfort zone, really it helps me in advancing, atleast there was something i learnt in 10–15 days, not fully but at least i started, that usually i will take longer (months).
Their is something interesting on the way for balance beacon, stay tuned!!! 📣
