About

The Project

Swellbeing is a daily emotional wellbeing check-in app. The idea is to take a few moments each day to log how you're feeling across four areas of your life: personal, interpersonal, social, and professional.

Over time, those daily check-ins become a record of your emotional patterns. The goal is awareness, not analysis, just building the habit of pausing, reflecting, and noticing.

The Builder

Hi, I'm Cooper, a Software Engineer in Melbourne, you can find me (rarely) over on LinkedIn

I'm building Swellbeing as a personal project, but one that will be open the the public sooner or later.

Partly because I like to sharpen the claws and maintain my skills, partly because I used a system like this during a short run in therapy, and found the visual tracking of wellbeing very helpful, so im building one to track myself

This is a solo project, built in my own time. There's no team, no funding, no roadmap driven by anyone but me.

I doubt anyone is reading this, but if it does become used by people that would be great too, maybe a payment system to truly cover costs might help (but I doubt it)

The Stack

Swellbeing is built with a Rails 8 JSON API on the backend and a Next.js frontend. It's hosted on Supabase/Render/Vercel (but these might move).

The design uses a custom token-based theme built with Tailwind.

The full source isn't public yet, and I don't think I will open it, but maybe i'll accept roadmap suggestions if it is used by people other than me.
