Feelings Wheel

/reflections?tab=feelings

Feelings Wheel, from entry to detail

The Feelings Wheel is an interactive emotion-logging tool embedded in the My Reflections page. Users select from 6 core emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Surprise), then drill down into 36+ specific sub-emotions via an expanding SVG wheel.

After selecting a specific emotion, users set an intensity level (1-5) and optionally add notes. The tool tracks check-ins over time with a history panel grouped by date, and integrates with the achievement system.

Imported from Inner Quest's app-owned walkthrough library. The captures are real product evidence, but their original run manifest and detailed interaction log predate Walkthrough Studio, so freshness is not claimed.

    Feelings Tab — Landing State

    Opened /reflections?tab=feelings.

    Navigate to the Reflections page and select the Feelings tab. The page shows the interactive emotion wheel with 6 color-coded core emotions: Joy (amber), Sadness (blue), Anger (red), Fear (purple), Disgust (emerald), and Surprise (pink). The center reads "How do you feel?" and the right panel shows a target icon with instructions to select an emotion.

    The History and Info toggle buttons appear above the wheel.

    Click a primary emotion segment (e.g., Joy) and the wheel expands to reveal 6 sub-emotions in the outer ring: Optimistic, Playful, Excited, Grateful, Content, Peaceful. The instruction text updates to "Choose a specific emotion from the outer ring."
