Dreamy is an admin for therapists. The concept comes form my idea that therapists are usually people who are a bit more dreamy, more into the internal world, and less into dealing with things like admin.

So this is an app for therapists who do not like much doing admin, and would like to have a system, to make it a bit easier and more efficient.

In the places I have worked (Chile and Scotland) I see the same happening. Most therapists end up working privately, with not many options inside the institutional settings.

Working privately means to rent or sublet to/from other therapists, as it is common that you do not use an office full time.

Then comes the problem of renting and using a room, coordinating that use, etc.

There are many other adminy things associated that have nothing to do with being a therapist. And I find most of it deeply annoying.

Dreamy does not address all of it, but I would love can take chunks of that weight from the therapists.

For now the focus is on room coordination and rentals, and tracking your sessions, attendance, and payment.

In terms of programming, it has taught me many things, from how difficult it is to manage dates and time in programming. I have been using more complex Django elements, like queries with annotations and aggregations, bringing to life the data that comes from the sessions.

I have also used a pattern for front end called hypermedia, which means to use the base of HTML to its limits, by adding HTMX to it, and Hyperscript.

This has allowed Dreamy to have nice elements that pop up when you click, and data that updates as you interact with it.

I like the patterns that those two javascript frameworks create, as they feel more friendly and direct, as I write directly on the markup (and not in javascript).

Also, my styling (aesthetics of the site) is writen inside the HTML, using Bootstrap classes (most of the time).

I am proud of this project, it looks original, because I worked a lot on concepts and colours, on imagining a good flow of use for me, and arrived to something that feels professional.

When writing, this the project is still in beta, it needs some users and finding bugs, and to be honest, I feel pretty scared about taking it being used by people, as I do not have a good idea of how to price it, nor how to be sure I comply with all it needs to.

And I am pretty much an introvert that barely uses social media, so there is not advertising yet :P
