Why I Used Goose to Build a Chaotic Emotion Detection App
Developers deserve to have fun. There was a time when the internet felt magical. I remember going to the library just to create a character on The Doll Palace. At home, I'd spend hours changing fonts with WordArt. But as I grew up, the industry did too. We've shifted away from marquees and glittery cursors. Grown-up me started using ones and zeros to build reliable systems for insurance, banking, and healthcare companies. There's pride in that, but it's harder to justify doing something just because it's fun.
That's why I tapped into my inner child and used Goose to build a UI that reacts to users' emotions.
