My original plan was much more ambitious: a user would only be able to choose moods at 3 times during the day (morning, noon, and night). I worried too much about some "extras" such as timing logic before making sure that I had the basic functionality down, and didn't actually have that working until the day before the project was due. If I'd started there and built on top of that, I would have been happier with the result when it was due.
The only page taking advantage of EJS is the user history page. I had intended to move all of the header information into EJS partials as well, but ran out of time to do so.
I used Moment.js to show the time of day (morning, afternoon, or evening) and the day of the week on the index page. While I found Moment to be a great tool, I wasn't able to work out a way to implement it in the EJS template that renders the user moods. I am going to continue working on this and in v.2 will be adding a CSS hide/show that shows the date that the mood was added on mouseover.
I think this app has a lot of potential and I will continue working on it!
