The project addresses a valid mental health problem for GenZ but fails to provide any verifiable evidence of utility or traction. The submission contains hyperbolic and factually inconsistent claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' vs. null revenue/users). Search validation yielded no active footprint for 'joinperspective.com' or the described app, suggesting the project is either in a very early conceptual stage or inactive.

Project Details

Description
Today's younger generations are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than any other. Therapy is effective but expensive for many. Journaling has always been effective, but it’s a tough habit to build and sustain. After over 20 studies with 200+ participants, we've found a way to make it rewarding \u0026 sticky. Our initial focus is on GenZ’s who (are suffering from depression/stress/anxiety) \u0026 have tried but failed to build a sustainable journaling habit.
