      <description>&lt;p&gt;**# I Built SHANTAKARAM — A Web App for Taking a Break From a Stressful Day&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After spending time building web apps, I wanted to create something that wasn't about productivity, work, or getting more things done.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to build something for the opposite:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A small place where you can simply pause.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I built &lt;strong&gt;SHANTAKARAM — Endless Peace.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Relax your mind. Let the day go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🌿 What is SHANTAKARAM?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SHANTAKARAM is a relaxation web app designed for those moments when your mind feels overloaded after work, study, or a long day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open → choose what feels right → relax → let the day go.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It includes calming sounds and interactive relaxation experiences designed to give users a simple way to take a break.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🎧 What I focused on
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest things I cared about was making the experience feel different from a typical productivity app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted it to feel:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calm&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Simple&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Comfortable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Interactive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Easy to use&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accessible from the browser without installing anything&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also spent a lot of time working on the sound experience because I didn't want every relaxation option to feel like the same sound with a different name.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🛠️ Building it
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built SHANTAKARAM as a web application and focused heavily on the user experience, responsive design, interactions, and making the experience comfortable on both mobile and desktop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project also gave me a chance to experiment with building a more sensory type of web experience rather than a traditional dashboard-style application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Try it
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHANTAKARAM:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://shantakaram.ai.studio/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://shantakaram.ai.studio/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhvpddcasz0n1l9kjdq5i.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhvpddcasz0n1l9kjdq5i.png" alt=" " width="800" height="1607"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://dev.tourl"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's currently available to try for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  💬 I'd love feedback
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the part I'm most interested in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you try SHANTAKARAM, I'd love to know:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Which experience did you try first?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Did the sounds feel different enough?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Was anything confusing?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What would make you want to come back tomorrow?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What feature would you add?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm building this for real users, so honest feedback—positive or negative—is genuinely useful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for checking it out. 🙏&lt;/p&gt;
