I built a simple app to help people share how they’re feeling. I would love your feedback

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a little side project inspired by something I’ve seen (and lived) in a lot of relationships i.e., the struggle to say how you’re really feeling without it turning into a big conversation or conflict.

So I built Relate: https://relate-the-app.vercel.app/ 💡

It’s a super simple, free app that lets people check in using a traffic light system:

🟢 Green - I’m feeling good

🟡 Yellow - I’m struggling a bit

🔴 Red - I need support or space

No logins, no chat history, no pressure. Just a quiet way to say “this is where I’m at today.”

It started as a tool for couples but as I’ve tested it with others, I’ve realised it can support all kinds of situations:

💬 Children communicating with parents during trauma or shutdowns

🧠 Neurodivergent people signalling sensory overload or emotional overwhelm

🧒 Teenagers who find it hard to open up but still want to be seen

🤝 Co-parents or long-distance families staying connected with low friction

🧑‍🦽 Carers supporting disabled or vulnerable adults

🏡 Housemates managing stress in shared living

💼 Small teams doing quiet wellbeing check-ins at work

❤️ Couples navigating burnout, parenting, or mental health challenges

It’s still in very early beta so I’d really appreciate:

💬 Your honest feedback. So what works? what’s missing?

🧠 Ideas for how it could be more inclusive or practical

🔧 Reports of anything buggy, confusing, or clunky

The goal is to build something simple, safe, and actually useful for anyone who finds communication hard sometimes.

Thanks so much for reading
