EchoDay: Capture and reflect on your day

This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge. What I Built EchoDay is a web app centered around daily reflection, where each day feels like an echo. Whatever you add - notes, memories, or thoughts - comes back to you later, helping you revisit and reflect on moments that matter. Features It features a set of handy widgets - one place to store them all. A Calendar to plan your schedule Notes for jotting down ideas An About My Day section to reflect on your day Todos list to stay on top of tasks Reminders, so you never miss anything Memories, where you store cherished images Oh, it also has a little mood tracker with some fun emojis and moods to choose from :) Right now, it’s a prototype, but if people love it, I’m planning to add a fully functional backend to make it even more dynamic. It’s a simple idea, but one I think can make life a lot more organized and meaningful! Do share your review in the app. I have included a user review section at the bottom.

EchoDay: Capture and reflect on your day

This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.

What I Built

EchoDay is a web app centered around daily reflection, where each day feels like an echo. Whatever you add - notes, memories, or thoughts - comes back to you later, helping you revisit and reflect on moments that matter.

Features
It features a set of handy widgets - one place to store them all.

A Calendar to plan your schedule
Notes for jotting down ideas
An About My Day section to reflect on your day
Todos list to stay on top of tasks
Reminders, so you never miss anything
Memories, where you store cherished images

Oh, it also has a little mood tracker with some fun emojis and moods to choose from :)

Right now, it’s a prototype, but if people love it, I’m planning to add a fully functional backend to make it even more dynamic. It’s a simple idea, but one I think can make life a lot more organized and meaningful!

Do share your review in the app. I have included a user review section at the bottom.
