I built this tool called **Dailymoji** as a quick and easy way to journal emotions in less than a minute, using just plain HTML/CSS/JS hosted on my own space. It's designed with a focus on clarity over features. I'm curious to know your thoughts on it and whether I should keep it as simple as it is or add more functionality. Specifically, I'd love feedback on two points: what essentials should I consider adding, and is the one-screen setup sufficient, or should I introduce a 'history' view?

I get that this is aimed at people looking to keep an emotional journal, but the slider concept is a bit unclear. It really doesn’t look like a slider, and that’s confusing. You might want to revisit that part. A history view would definitely be a nice addition; it helps to see how your feelings change over time!
Honestly, when I opened it, I had no clue what it was for. I just clicked some boxes, and they partially filled. It seems like you need to make it clearer what users are supposed to do. Maybe some sort of tutorial or a short explainer could help?
I get that! I'm planning to add instructions to clarify that you click on the emotions and select how they apply, but I can see how it's confusing.
It looks like a rough start but I see potential! Just a few UI suggestions: 1) It would help if users knew how many emotions there are. 2) The buttons at the top and the bottom seem redundant. 3) The percentage display is confusing—make it match the 0-5 scale. Also, I feel like the interface gets buggy when clicking quickly; it sometimes selects text instead of emotions. Keep refining it!
Wow, thanks for your detailed feedback! I appreciate the specific pointers. I'm working on the bugs you mentioned and definitely considering your advice on the interface.
I think the UI could use some serious work. Honestly, I had trouble figuring it out at first. Adding clear instructions right at the start would definitely help users understand how to use it. Just a suggestion, but it might be worth revisiting the design to make it more intuitive.
Thanks for the input! I realize it might not be very "ripe" yet. What parts did you find particularly annoying?
I still don’t quite get how it works. I mean, do I click my emotions, and then what? The arrows are a bit confusing. Maybe there’s a clearer way to guide users through the process? Just a thought.
Haha, understood! The interface could definitely use some clarity. Thanks for pointing that out!
Yeah, I didn't intend for the sliders to be a main feature, but they seem to complicate things. I might simplify it again!
