Should I Should I Not? – A Messaging App Where Fate Decides

Mishan Poudel — Mon, 05 May 2025 06:20:47 +0000

Hey folks 👋

After spending months on a main project that didn’t quite work out, I decided to shift gears and build something fun, small, and completely different.

Enter Should I Should I Not? — a messaging app that adds chance to communication.

🧠 The Idea

We’ve all had moments where we hesitate before hitting “send.”

This app leans into that feeling—with a twist. You set the odds, and the app decides whether your message gets delivered. Could be 1 in 2, could be 1 in 1,000,000.

If the odds are in your favor, the message goes through. If not, it gets stored in a message vault for retrying (up to 3 times max).

✨ Key Features

🎲 Custom Probability – Set delivery odds from 1 in 2 up to 1 in 1,000,000
📬 Message Vault – Stores failed sends for retries
🌓 Dark/Light Mode – Theme toggle
⏱ Cooldowns – Prevent spamming retries

🛠️ Tech Stack

Next.js for the app framework
Tailwind CSS for styling
Firebase for backend & stats
Framer Motion for animations
React Toastify for notifications

🧪 Built For Fun

This was a break-from-the-norm side project—meant to explore randomness, UX, and just enjoy building something silly and light-hearted.

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think. Stars on the repo and feedback are always welcome!

- About Me: Learn about the developer
Switch between open applications using the taskbar
Draggable windows to simulate a real desktop environment
Simulated login screen (enter any credentials to access)

Other features:

Responsive frontend for desktop and mobile devices
Built with modern web technologies for a smooth and interactive user experience
