When Technology Feels Human – Inner Journey’s First MVP 🌟
Hello Inner Journey friends! 👋
Imagine a line of code suddenly saying “Hi” and guiding you on your path to personal growth. That’s pretty close to what happened when we tested Inner Journey’s first MVP (Minimum Viable Product). It was late one evening in March, the coffee had gone cold ☕, and we had just connected Google Gemini to our backend.
When we ran the /gemini/getActivation endpoint and received a response guiding us to "Take three deep breaths and set an intention for the day", we paused. It felt less like technology and more like a meaningful first step toward connecting users with our supportive coaches and community – alive and encouraging ✨.
Here’s the story of how we went from pure code to a platform designed to foster human connection and build the heart of Inner Journey.
