Inspiration
- Rather than trying to solve for a financial event, we thought we would try and prevent it happening in the first place by providing awesome financial coaching for young adults.
What it does
- This app empowers user to set and achieve financial goals by monitoring spending and saving behavior. Overall this encourages users to be aware of their financial position and act responsibly.
How we built it
- An Android app whoop whoop. Based on the Nessie SDK and the Android sample app.
- We also built an account manager app to generate transactions (we were going to use this to generate push notification intents but ran out of time).
Challenges we ran into
- As you read this most of the team are on a flight back to the UK :(
- Lily also had to leave so thank you to Felicia for getting us over the line. Be nice with your questions!!!
- Oh no, Felicia had to leave too. That doesn't mean you cant vote for us :)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Everyone's first hackathon!
- Language barriers (funny American terms)
- Hacking from an airport
What we learned
- Keep it simple
What's next for savewise
- Showing how each transaction impacts your goal.
- Push Notifications to give immediate feedback.
- Spend categories.
- Deep linking with Amazon or other shopping experiences so that user can have a full end-to-end experience of setting a specific financial goal (i.e. an xbox on amazon) and making that purchase.
- Incorporating savings so that the app will create banks.
- Personalization of adding photos.
- Links to social media so you can share your goals and progress.
- making financial goals for gifting to friends/charity
