Capital One Chrome Extension (Pikachu Team - Table 8)

After the mobile app, we thought of a chrome extension that alerts customers when they hit a low budget limit

Inspiration

Capital One Mobile App

What it does

Chrome extension that enables you to see your balance and get low budget alerts once logged in.

How we built it

JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Challenges we ran into

We initially wanted to build it all in Python and use a converter. However, that didn't work so we decided to learn JavaScript from scratch. Also at some point, JavaScript stopped working so the actions weren't working. We couldn't implement API as the customer endpoints weren't accessible so we created our own fake data.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Basically learning JavaScript from scratch in 24 hours.

What we learned

See above. (Also, we learned that we're more competitive than I previously thought.)

What's next for Capital One Financial Hack - Chrome Extension (Table8)

Finish up the alert code in jQuery based on an if function that sends the alert if the balance is lower than 15% of the monthly payment limit. Refining the design of the chrome extension (now our only aim was to make it functional). Implement the customer endpoints and actually have real data we can work with.
