Inspiration

The Honey Chrome extension is an excellent app that provides coupons that work 99% of the time, however, the money that is saved is not always used in the best way. We sought to create a chrome extension that puts saved money to good use: through investing. Instead of saving a bit of cash that may be used for an unnecessary purchase, it can wisely be invested to help growth your wealth.

What it does

This chrome extension automatically applies coupons to your purchases and invests any money that is saved.

How we built it

Wealth Wise was built with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node.js, and Bootstrap. A web scraper and Plaid API were also used.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulty implementing the Plaid API and parsing data from the coupon web scraper.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to successfully implement the web scraper, have a great UI/UX, and being able to stick it through to the end!

What we learned

We learned that most companies do not legitimately implement a web scraper as most websites hold such information private. Instead, partnerships are formed and companies like Honey make revenue off of commissions.
