ProudOf.Me is a Full Stack web app that acts as an archive for users to store the moments and milestones in their life in one place to remind themselves why they're great when experiencing impostor syndrome, anxiety, and anything that makes them feel less than the champion they are.
Users can also read others' stories as well as share their own, fostering a community of positivity and a place to inspire each other.
