OpenBliss

We all need to chase our bliss.

Hopefully this will help.

Purpose

OpenBliss's intent is to act as a prompt for helping you to be mindful of how you're interacting with world around you, to set and track personal goals for self-improvement, and to engage in self-reflection over time.

Roadmap

At some point in the future we also plan to add a conversational agent and very likely also add crisis chat.

We'll also add a motivational quote database and plugins that can help you focus in on religious and philosophical quotes that may match your chosen approach to self care.

Lastly, we'd eventually like to make Electron and mobile-app versions of this application, as well as offering cloud backup of your database.

How OpenBliss works

OpenBliss keeps a local PouchDB database containing all of the application's questions, and your responses. PouchDB was selected due to its compatibility with CouchDB's replication protocol. This gives a super upgrade path for offering cloud backup, as well as making it possible for us to offer users the option to self-host their own CouchDB backup database.

When you launch OpenBliss you will be presented with a menu that gives a high-level view of various things that OpenBliss can do. You're encouraged to poke around and try things out. Also note that up at the top of the menu are the Quick Bliss and Quick Goal options. These are quick and easy ways to get started with using OpenBliss and to continue using it even when you only have minimal time to engage with it. The effort required is low to make it more likely that you'll use it.
