Dastory

Inspiration:

As college students, we deal with stress to balance many life aspects. This storytelling web app aims at helping students find solace and relaxation in the midst of their busy lives by telling soothing stories that lull students into peaceful slumber, which makes it a part of their nightly routine, providing comfort and calm.

What it does:

The web app allows users to choose provided topics for the story or even personalize their preferences through their own inputs. Then, after receiving responses from GPT3.5 API, it converts the text to speech with two languages: English and Spain. Finally, it shows the stories along with a audio player. User can toggle the background music of their preferences

How we built it

We use Flask framework to build basics routes for the web app and create basic functions to interact between the pages. After finished the menu page to get input from users, we build functions to creates requests to GPT API and passed that response into TTS API function. Lastly, we create the result page to show text and a audio player.

What's next for Dastory

We want the app to beyond storytelling by offering additional resources such as articles, podcasts, or guided meditations focused on student wellness and sleep improvement by implementing sleep tracking or relaxation statistics to help users understand the impact of your app on their sleep quality and showing them how their bedtime habits change over time. By combining the power of storytelling with relaxation techniques, we can make bedtime a cherished and restful experience for students balancing the demands of academic life.
