What it is:
BreakEven is a service to track spending in a relationship, and keep things fair between partners. Add people to the relationship, and add payments to monitor spending for each person, and track the difference in spending.
But why?
Don't you want to know how much you're spending on your significant other(s)? Especially for college students, spending expectations can fall too heavily on one person, or someone's overspending might lead to another feeling like they owe them something. Find your balance with BreakEven!
I had no experience with webapp development before this, and learned Ruby and then implemented the project in Rails. The goal was to ultimately be able to connect this to an actual payment API like Braintree's and facilitate payments between people to keep things even, but it took me very long to set up the Rails app and to understand the language and the structure of the framework. My partner ended up dropping halfway through the hackathon, and I decided to continue building the project on my own, and I hope to expand it further in my free time in the future!
