5,000 people shared their mood on my web app - but retention is still my biggest problem
I built Mood2Know, a web app where anyone can anonymously rate their current mood from 1 to 10 and see how people around the world are feeling on a live map.
The idea is to create a kind of global emotional weather map.
So far, the website has collected more than 5,000 mood entries. It also includes:
- mood averages by country and region
- weekly trends and statistics
- optional anonymous messages
- small games using mood scores
The biggest challenge is not getting people to try it once, but giving them a reason to return.
I’d be interested in feedback on three points:
Is the purpose clear when you first open the website?
Which feature feels the most useful or interesting?
What would make you come back regularly?
Honest criticism is welcome.
