We talk less and less about how we're actually feeling, everyone just says "I'm fine" even when they're not. So I built a tool to make social energy levels visible between friends without needing the conversation.

Tech highlights:

  • No email signup (just username + password)
  • Instant friend pairing via shareable links
  • Real-time status sync
  • Mobile-first PWA design
  • Quick action buttons (e.g., "ask for coffee")

How it works:
You share your link → they open it and register → you're automatically friends and can see each other's battery levels in real time.

Live at socialbattery.space (works best on mobile, but desktop works too)
Built this because emotional state sharing shouldn't require a vulnerable conversation every time. Would love feedback from the community.

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up if you're interested: I’ve just rolled out a small update to the app! ✨

  1. **Anonymous Buddies: ** You can now connect with another completely anonymous user, so you can keep an eye on each other's social energy levels and support each other.
  2. **Weekly Vibes: ** Added a handy weekly chart that shows your average social battery for every day of the week. 📊
  3. Daily Nudge : Introduced a daily notification option to give you a quick reminder to update your level. It's totally optional, just there if you need it! 🔔
  4. Streak Counter : Added a daily streak counter to help you keep your momentum going! 🔥
  5. Easy Install : Added a neat "Install PWA" button right on the interface. You can now save it like a native app with a quick shortcut on your home screen, so you don't have to open your web browser every time. 📱
