Inspiration
Banking apps don't really tell us where our money is going and to be frank, they're not fun. We wanted to go out and make a system that a teen could use, while making it interesting for them and give them insight into their spending.
What it does
It takes a customer from TD-Davinci using the api, and maps out transactions onto a heat map using Google-Maps api. We then give the user various data about where there money is going and we also provide some "green" recommendations for people to shop at based off of where they are located.
How we built it
With love, no sleep, and lots of coffee. We made it with flask as a backend and used googles api to generate a heat map. We called on TD - Davinci for consumer data.
Challenges we ran into
API calls were hard but doable. But the biggest problem was passing data to the front end javascript. We found out that you can't just directly pass an array into the html template.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Figuring out how JSON works and how to do API calls. Learning more about full stack development. Figuring out how to do the heat maps.
What we learned
We learned JSON, API Calls, web development, passing data to a template, flask, and data visualization.
