Turning emotional struggles into “bug reports” — my side project, Life.exe

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been working on a small web app called Life.exe — it turns emotional struggles into playful “bug reports.”

Instead of journaling or ranting, you can write a one-liner like:

Error: Hope.exe stopped responding after job rejection.

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been working on a small web app called Life.exe — it turns emotional struggles into playful “bug reports.”

Instead of journaling or ranting, you can write a one-liner like:

Error: Hope.exe stopped responding after job rejection.

The app then converts it into a humorous “grief CV” — something between a digital diary and a crash report for the human soul.

💡 Why I built it

I spend a lot of time in tech, and I’ve noticed we talk about burnout, frustration, and chaos through debugging metaphors all the time.

So I thought — what if we had a debugger for our emotions too? Something that could make heavy feelings a little lighter, through humor and creative tech expression.

⚙️ How it works

It’s a lightweight web app built with HTML, Tailwind, and JS, hosted on Vercel.

You just type your “bug” → it formats and styles it → you get a shareable “grief report.”

🧭 What I’m curious about

  • Does the idea resonate emotionally or just come off as silly?
  • Any UI/UX feedback?
  • Who do you think would enjoy this the most — developers, writers, or everyone?

Would love any feedback or ideas for improvement ❤️
