Inspiration
Capital Literacy was inspired by the sponsor prompt of Capital One - creating an application with the aim of improving financial literacy in the world. I have personally always disliked sitting down to read lengthy, wordy books but the word "literacy" reminded me of "language", and the most popular language application in the world is duolingo - for good reason as well. So why reinvent the wheel? The vision of the app was it to follow a similar direction but with a much smaller scope, such that it can be recommended to Capital One customers to improve their financial literacy through small daily tasks.
What it does
Users enter the application and then are given a demo application with a duolingo style interface and roadmap, before entering a demo set of 3 questions.
How we built it
Followed a lengthy tutorial with next.js and react. Was learning it for the first time, so I thought a tutorial was the best way forward!
Challenges we ran into
The tutorial was way too in-depth and kept adding to the scope before I realised. In the end a final working demo was rushed as too much time was spent creating assets and getting back-end (that was NOT needed for the final demo) to work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It actually looks like an application!
What we learned
I learned Next.JS and React! As well as how to link postgres databases to websites using Neon and Drizzle.
What's next for Capital Literacy
Nothing, I can't be asked. If I could be asked then an actual working demo and probably AI APIs for adaptive question asking.
Built With
