Yayyy~~~ the day finally launched!!!

Today, for the first time, my app launched. 🙀
When I finally ran the code and saw the dark background and the “Start” button appear on the phone screen, something stirred deep inside me. I whispered to myself, “It worked.” This project began a few months ago with a straightforward idea. I wanted to create an app that could record my feelings, not through writing, but in a lighter, more intuitive way. Emotions are complicated, and trying to describe them in words often feels overwhelming. I thought, why not use emojis or multiple-choice options to express how I’m doing? Back then, just drawing a simple flowchart felt like an achievement. I opened FigJam and drew arrows and boxes, “Step 1: Mood input,” “Step 5: Final feedback”, and felt like I was mapping out something big. But that wasn’t the real beginning. The real journey began when I started learning Flutter and spent day after day wrestling with errors and bugs.

Even the simplest things didn’t work at first. A button wouldn’t respond. An image wouldn’t load. Just today, I struggled with getting the app’s logo to appear on the launch screen. I thought the file was in the right place, but nothing showed up. Right now, it’s just an empty space—but I plan to fix it as soon as possible. It matters because the logo is the face of the app, and it deserves to be there. Still, I feel incredibly proud.

Some people might think launching just the opening screen of an app isn’t a big deal. But for me, this was everything. I didn’t just make an app, I built something from scratch that reflects my thoughts, my emotional process, and my growth. I’m not a professional developer, but today I was the creator, the architect, and the designer of something I needed for myself. And knowing that it could help someone else one day makes it even more meaningful.
It’s just the first step, but I will keep going. I believe in what I’m building. Today, with that single launch screen, a quiet little light turned on inside me, too.
