## What it is
if-me.org is a free, open source web application for sharing mental health experiences with trusted allies like friends, family, and coworkers. It is built with Ruby on Rails and React and is community-driven with extensive internationalization support.

## Use cases
- share mental health stories with trusted friends and family
- self-host a mental health community platform
- track moods and experiences with allies
- find an open source alternative for mental health support
- involve loved ones in mental health recovery
- contribute to a social impact open source project

## When to choose
- you want a community-focused mental health sharing platform you can self-host
- you value privacy-first, free software (AGPL-3.0) for mental health support
- you want a mature Rails/React codebase to contribute to

## When to avoid
- you need clinical or professional therapy tools rather than peer sharing
- you need a mobile-first native app rather than a web app
- you need anonymous-only journaling without a social component

- function: internationalization, web-framework, ui-components, testing
- domain: healthcare, web-development, social-media, self-hosted
