Dollar Dude

Inspiration

• Despite the fact that there are numerous apps for simple and seamless digital payment, many of us still lose track of our daily expenses.
• We waste a lot of time only for not knowing where the money is going.
• Because of the digitalization of currency, people's ability to manage money has also deteriorated.

I have been hopping between multiple apps to keep track of my expenses. So my thoughts went like why don't I built one for myself!?

What it does

• Dollar dude is a simple yet effective way for teens and to all others to keep track of their expenses and visualize them through brilliant and appealing charts.

• Dollar dude can assist the user in budgeting and decision-making by offering an overview of how money is spent and how it can be saved.

How I built it

• Dollar Dude is a mobile application built with Flutter.
• I have incorporated Google AdMob for displaying high quality banner ads.
• I have used Sqflite database to store user data and retrieve it in real time.
• BLOC, which allows the flutter widgets to communicate with other layers of the app is used for State Management.
• Fl_Chart, a library to draw fantastic charts in flutter is used to display bar charts and pie charts.

Challenges I ran into

• I am a beginner at flutter and this is my second application with flutter.
• I learnt about a number of libraries and plugins throughout the development.
• I worked as a solo hacker for the first time and that was quite challenging.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

• Completion of project on time
• Developing a fully functional application as an individual within 24 hours
