Inspiration

Most people are unaware of the importance of tracking personal finances and managing spending habits. Tracking your spending allows you to see where your money is really going. It is essential if you want to understand your financial habits and make changes to them. So i made this application.

Features of this app provides::

Display all transaction history

Display current balance, as well as income and expense of the current month

It has a Finance page, which shows current details about Crypto, Stocks (Top gainers from NSE and BSE), and lastly the latest news.

How we built it

The front is build with HTML, CSS JavaScript and react framework. I have used Firebase and Firebase authentication for verification as well.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge for me was to create a backend server for storing our data and user authentication. As I'm not acquainted with Node.js and MongoDB, so I opted to use Firebase as our backend server. But we ran into problems as some parts of the Firebase were not well documented. But ultimately, Stack Overflow answers came to the rescue. Secondly, searching for the APIs were a pain, as most of the APIs were either paid or had very low API call limit, so had to search a lot of websites to get some adequate APIs. But alas, I did not find an adequate API for stocks, and so we decided to create a python script that will scrape BSE and NSE Top 10 Gainers from Financial Express every hour and push them to our Firebase Database as a python object(which is eventually converted to a JSON).
