Inspiration
The inspiration for this project came from our experience as college students spending hours pouring over excel spreadsheets or Notion pages trying to calculate the amount of money we've spent or have left. So we decided to build a tool that running on the 50-30-20 rule that encourages financial well-being using intuitive tools that we have included.
What it does
The Workspace section of the website contains a dynamic calendar built in Python that, depending on the price of the item you are saving up for and your current savings plan, will inform you how long it will take to achieve your goal. This is in addition to other reminders and events you can set manually.
How we built it
The website front-end was built using Bootstrap, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The calendar application was made in Python and elements of Flask. The back-end runs on PHP.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges we ran into: -
- How to interface Python and HTML for the lack of a better word.
- Creating the calendar application
- Retooling our idea after the initial aspect of a regression-based machine learning model proved too difficult to implement.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Accomplishments we are proud of: -
- Learning and implementing Flask in the same day
- All team members possessed the ability to switch between Design-related and Back-end related tasks on the fly.
- Quick and efficient designs in Bootstrap
What we learned
We all learned: -
- Deeper understanding of Python libraries, especially related to date and time.
- Elements of Flask
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
What's next for SLIVRE
Trying to gain a competitive advantage by implementing a regression-based machine learning model that can be used to predict future financial decisions.
