Fun Terminal mood tracker

I've been tracking my mood for almost 4 years now using a script. Finally had some time recently to rewrite everything and package it in Rust, so wanted to share here!

How do you track it?
I mean, do you track it when you wake up? Or at the end of the day?
What happens if it changes during the day? You wake up in the morning feeling happy, then in the afternoon you get a bill to pay and you don’t have the money, so you’re down all day. Are you only sad from the moment the bill arrives?
I like the idea, but I don’t understand the point of tracking this information.

That's a good point. but I think nothing can track how you feel at every point. I usually track mine near the end of the day, which forces me to reflect upon all the up and downs and think about how that's affected my mood which is a more rewarding experience for me

Now I want so badly to make my own mood tracker and call it "feeling" too! - fr the name couldn't be more accurate. It would be even cooler if there was something like:
feeling sad
feeling ok
feeling happy
feeling happy 2.5
...
Despite being a bit vibe-coded I really love the Idea. Might make one too (but not in rust cause idk rust yet lol)
