Inspiration
We wanted a solution to paperless receipts that was swift, easy, environmentally friendly and emulated effortless services like Apple Pay
What it does
Allows the transaction receipt to be sent to a phone via nfc reader and stored automatically within an app with items
How we built it
We created a heroku server to store the uploads of json files representing the receipts themselves, then pulled the data from the server using an app built with the ionic framework using typescript
Challenges we ran into
The nfc readers were very difficult to get to upload the data to the server, but eventually, we figured it out with some intensive and hair-pulling debugging
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Actually getting the nfc reader to work and finish with transfer being smoothly emulated between two phones
What we learned
Had never used typescript or the ionic framework, so we learned how to use those tools
