We installed swiper.js, a JavaScript library that creates a modern free mobile touch slider, to swipe through various breathing exercises. Visual aesthetics was crucial in setting a playful environment, that children can use and grow in. With that being said, HealthierMind reinforced the importance of making our applications as web accessibile and inclusive as possible, ensuring anyone can use this application. In the future, we aim to build our projects in a mobile responsive fashion and then bu
