The App: How About an App That Motivates the User?

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Technology continues to advance, and when we look around, we realize it's actually rendering a lot of help to those who know how to reap its benefits.

If you go through your Apple Store and Google Play Store, you realize there are thousands of apps, all created for different purposes. Some apps were created for financial purposes, some for fun, and some are there to help us stay fit.

The web 2.0 (centralized social media platforms) has helped bring a lot of people together and made people cross paths with each other. Many are using these social media platforms to advertise their businesses and are making huge sales from doing so. These platforms were actually for fun and chatting, but many are making good use of advanced technology and milking it for their own benefit.

In this week's prompt, we are asked to create an app, neglecting the expenses of creating one. A lot of things actually crossed my mind, such as creating a microbanking app and so many others, but I think an app that pops up motivational quotes reminding the user how amazing and unique they are is the best. Such an app can rekindle hope and give a user reasons to keep pressing.

We live in a crazy world these days, and everyone is fighting silent battles some battles they can share and some they keep to themselves. Some have lost faith in themselves and are slowly giving up on their dreams. I think an app that reminds them of how amazing they are can go a long way reassuring them that everything is a phase and that phase will pass as well.

I was chatting with a friend the other day, and he told me about how life has been so hard on him and he is starting to have suicidal thoughts. I know just an app won't be enough to raise the spirit, but it will let such people see reasons to keep trying instead of committing suicide or taking their lives by their own hands.

Life can be rough sometimes, especially down here in Nigeria, where the son of an average man has to struggle eight or ten times more compared to those who are born rich just to get something done. Being in a situation where all efforts seem fruitless can break even the strongest. We work and don't see results; we struggle and it looks as if nothing is happening, which causes one to suffer mental stress.

We see people all happy on the outside but when they are alone they cry their eyes out, hurt themselves and many people who are depressed are likely to go into drugs thinking it can help them fight off depression little do they do they know the drugs only kills their vital organs and gives them peace of mind for a short while and once it's done working they fall back to their pain or take more doses.

I think a daily or an hourly motivational quote popping up on the screen of a depressed person can put a smile on their faces reminding them how unique they are and giving them reasons not to give up. Some might say it's just a motivational quote, but it can rekindle a lost hope.
