Hi Product Hunt community,I’m the maker of MoodChem. I am 59 years old, and for the past 20 years, I have lived with Parkinson's disease. This app wasn't built by a corporate tech team; it was crafted from two decades of lived experience—of having to intimately understand, manage, and listen to my own brain chemistry every single day while managing a neurodegenerative condition. I built MoodChem because I wanted an intellectual, data-driven tool that explains the human experience as a brilliant chemical laboratory, without standard wellness clichés or patronizing platitudes. How it works: Instead of just tracking how you feel, the app focus on why—the chemistry and patterns underneath. It uses a pattern intelligence engine to analyze the likely chemical combinations driving your immediate physical sensations and behavior over time. It explicitly ranks its own findings as either a clear 'observation' or a 'hypothesis' based strictly on data density. The Tech Process: Traditional manual coding can be a massive physical bottleneck when navigating a neurodegenerative condition. I bypassed that physical friction entirely by using natural language to direct and orchestrate a full-stack architecture via Lovable. The system is fully deployed running TanStack Start, React 19, and a Supabase backend. The app is live at moodchem.app, privacy-first, and completely free to everyone, forever. I would deeply appreciate your feedback on the user experience, the visual atmospheric orbs, or the pattern logic! Thank you!
