@rrhoover Yes! Thanks Ryan, that was cool to watch. There's something special about watching the keystrokes play back in real time. I'm grateful for the sunshine and blue skies too.

Hey everyone, have you written down how you're feeling lately? Give it a try at DearDiary.ai and the AI will turn your entry into a new song based on the emotion of your entry. We want you to journal and to feel better. Studies show that journaling increases mindfulness and alleviates stress, anxiety, and depression. We also want you to create music. Like journaling, the mental health benefits of creating music are well-documented. And music is awesome. This project is open source, available here: https://github.com/StephenHaney/... How it works: Sentiment Analysis – As you type each word, we perform sentiment analysis using the popular natural language processing library VADER.js. This returns a prediction score from -1.0 to +1.0, that we interpret as a sentiment along the spectrum of negative to neutral to positive. Music Creation using Magenta – We use Google’s Magenta MusicVAE pre-trained model to interpolate between two pre-composed melodies—one happy, one sad—created by our teammate Devin Lane who has a background in music composition and education. As you type, our app creates new music that lives in the latent space of the emotion spectrum between happy, neutral, and sad based on our sentiment analysis. Visuals and a e s t h e t i c – We opt for minimal and calming design because we want people to freely express their thoughts and feelings. We animate an SVG tree with leaves and birds by covering parts of the image with white squares that we dynamically remove as the user types. Playfulness and Creativity – We build in Easter eggs to encourage playfulness and creativity. The music changes with punctuation, special characters, upper case, and deleting. Try strong emotion words to see what you can create! Playback and social sharing – We save entries using Google Firestore for realtime persistence so that users can save, share, and replay the exact song they create. We integrate "share to Twitter" and "share as a link" functionality. Give it a try... I hope you love the experience and it brings some peace to your day.
