Made an Ilokano mood tracking app — looking for feedback on the word choices
Short version: I built a free mood tracker where the emotions are in Ilokano instead of English. It's called Anya Ngay. Just shipped it on iOS and Android.
The reason: every mood app I've used gives you the same handful of English emotions, and there are feelings I genuinely only have a word for in Ilokano. Translating them into "sad" or "stressed" loses most of what I actually meant.
What's in it:
- Ilokano emotion vocabulary, with English glosses if you want them
Where I need help: the word list. I'm working from how the language was spoken around me growing up, and I know that varies a lot by province. Some of my choices are probably off, and a few emotions I couldn't find a good word for at all.
If you speak Ilokano, I'd love to know which words feel wrong, which ones you'd never actually use, and what's missing. Genuinely more useful to me than downloads right now.
Link in comments. Thanks.
