I presented on Vuejs, and while doing the tutorials found it to be a very intuitive framework. I wanted to learn more about it — so I took the plunge and decided to use it for this capstone project.

I've also thought that when it comes to moods, they're often hard to describe through words, and even harder to put on a scale of 1 to 10, which a lot of mood tracker apps do. So I decided to build an app that tracks your mood in color. Overtime, you build up a mood palette.

• As a user, I can perform standard user actions such as log in and change my password.
• As a user, I can choose a hue to represent my current mood.
• As a user, I can view a palette that represents my mood over time.
• As a user, I can change the greeting message that I see everytime I log in.
• As a user, I can clear my mood history.

Next user story goal: As a user, I can view my mood trends over time (e.g., ‘On Mondays there are more blues than other days’ or ‘at 11pm you tend to feel like lilac')

After getting user mood history, sort it in interesting ways (e.g. 'You seem to choose blue a LOT on Mondays.')

• First off, although I did study Vuejs a bit for the presentation, it took a bit to get used to. Figuring out how to configure and build authentication with Vuejs took a lot of exploring and documentation-reading.
• Vuejs has awesome data-passing abilities amongst components, but learning how the data flows and how to actually write it was a big hurdle and really was the bulk of work and studying I had to do. I learned a lot about promises!
