I’m building a small tool to help people understand relationship misunderstandings

Hi DEV 👋

I’m currently building a small side project called DecodeYou.

The idea came from personal experience.
I’ve been in a long-distance relationship, and even when both people care a lot,
misunderstandings still happen — not because of bad intentions,
but because we interpret situations differently.

For example:
the same action can feel “reasonable” to one person,
and deeply hurtful to the other.

Instead of giving advice or labeling people,
DecodeYou focuses on helping users:

  • reflect before reacting
  • notice emotional and communication patterns
  • separate what actually happened from what we assumed it meant

Right now the project is very early.
I’ve open-sourced the repo to document the ideas and structure as I build.

👉 GitHub repo: https://github.com/cherryyan1987/cherryyan1987

I’d really appreciate any feedback, thoughts, or even skepticism.
Happy to learn from this community.
