About
The Dynamic Web Design module of my MSc was a group project that involved producing a commercially-oriented website. Working with Dine Albrecht, Tom Wuyts and Julie Zhu, I helped produce Moodsoup, a personal analytics site that allows users to maintain percentage scales related to their own condition. The user can customise his account with criteria of his choice, such as happiness, creativity, tiredness or anger. Using a simple "slider bar" interface, the percentage values of these scales can be updated at any time.
Users can access intriguing visualisations of their (and their contacts') data. Interactive charts can be customised to show how values for different criteria change over time.
The site represents a structured approach to status updating.
