Voidpet Garden?

KINDAYou can build the valuable core, but the established product has meaningful operational complexity. Pick one narrow promise for v1.

BUILD FIRST

One specific customer type and one primary use case
A vertical slice that completes the main job without manual workarounds
Visible limits, review steps, and a fallback when an external dependency fails

LEAVE FOR LATER

Broad third-party integrations
High-scale collaboration, syncing, and permissions
Automation that can cause harm without human review

Voidpet Garden is a free-to-play mental-health companion game and journaling app by Voidpet, available on iOS and Android. Core premise: users journal about emotions (anxiety, depression, anger, etc.) and each feeling becomes a magical creature ('voidpet') that lives in a zen garden which visibly grows as journaling habits build. Journal prompts are CBT- and DBT-inspired, with recommendations from practicing therapists. Features include: mood tracker with progress/pattern charts; gratitude journaling; goal setting; emotional naming (quick mindfulness journaling); Practicing Positivity (DBT exercise pairing stressful situations with coping thoughts); affirmations; minute meditation soundtracks; friendship journal; physical check-ins; Negative Thought Check (CBT worksheet); Hope Box for curating hopeful resources during dark episodes; Overthink Timer for time-boxed journaling; and Vent Ret

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a web replacement for the core loop of 'Voidpet Garden': a gamified journaling MVP where journaling about a feeling materializes a small creature in your garden. Workflow: user selects an emotion (anxiety, anger, sadness, joy, curiosity) -> is offered 1-3 short CBT/DBT-style prompts -> writes a brief entry -> the entry 'hatches' a procedurally generated creature tied to that emotion that appears in a persistent garden scene; repeated journaling levels creatures and grows the garden (plants, decorations). User-facing requirements: responsive mobile-first layout; guided quick-journal flow with prompt bank and free-text entry; mood emoji picker; garden view with animated creatures and growth stages; streak counter and simple mood-over-time chart; optional local-only tag/streak stats. Technical requirements: vanilla JS or React frontend; localStorage persistence (no backend); simple seeded procedural generation for creature attributes (color palette, shape parts, name from wordlist); CSS animations for hatch/growth; no auth, no cloud sync. Sensible approaches: single-page app with state machine (gardens -> journal -> results), canvas or SVG/SVG-batched DOM for creatures, IndexedDB if entries grow large. Do NOT copy the Voidpet name, brand, art assets, UI layout, or creature designs; create original visuals. Deliberately out of scope: subscriptions, real therapy advice, crisis features, social features, audio, and server accounts. Include a README covering local setup (npm install/run or static serve) and important limitations: it is a wellness habit tool, not a medical device, and all data stays in the browser.
