Project Problem Description

You are to design and implement a simple, attractive, and easy-to-use Android application to satisfy the follow goals. Your design must be flexible enough to allow developers to extend or migrate it. To assist in understanding the emotional states and triggers of individuals and groups, we want a mobile application that allows one to post, track, and share their moods. For university students or staff, this could allow a clearer picture of their experiences, perceptions, and mental well-being in the face of challenges in academic life.
