Love Language Discovery

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - February Edition, Glam Up My Markup: Love Language Discovery

What I Built

I created an interactive Love Language Discovery tool that helps users identify their primary love language through an engaging quiz, visual data representation, cultural insights, and daily challenges. The application features:

  • Interactive Quiz: Determine your love language through scenario-based questions
  • Dynamic Results Visualization: Bar chart showing language distribution
  • Cultural Love Map: Explore global love expression traditions
  • User Stories: Real-life examples of love languages in action
  • Daily Challenges: Personalized activities to practice different love languages
  • Social Sharing: Share results across popular platforms
