EXPENSE TRACKER

This is my first ever hackathon project and it's an expense tracker for anyone who needs to keep track of their spendings and is willing to keep their expenses organized.

Inspiration

I want to do coding I liked it but I can't make myself do it consistently and regularly. But I see hackathons as a great opportunity to learn and grow with great speed as in hackathons the time is limited and you have to create a working solution in that time frame. So you have to learn things in a shorter amount of time as well as you have to create a working project with efficiency so it inspires me to take part in this hackathon doesn't matter even if I don't know anything I can always learn while building stuff. I only knew the basics of web-dev and wanted to learn JavaScript so I worked on making an Expense-Tracker and learned a lot of new things during the time of building it and of course, I used resources too.

What it does

It's a simple Expense-Tracker it takes inputs from the users and puts the values in two distinguished categories i.e INCOME and EXPENSE the numeric values added into the amount section with a minus sign (-) goes to the Expense section and positive values simply go to the Income section.

How we built it

It's a very basic web-development project and is made using HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT only it contains two Html, one JavaScript and one CSS file along with an Image folder containing necessary images of the project. The project starts with an Introduction page welcoming users the page contains the information of the creator along with links to social media handles. Then when you click onto the click here button on the introduction page you are being redirected to the expense tracker page where you can test it by giving inputs.

Challenges we ran into

The time is also a challenge as a student we have to focus on many aspects in day to day life as well as a beginner I was familiar with Html and Css but there is no familiarity with JavaScript but without JS this project can't be completed so in the process I learned a lot about JS its use cases and much more so it's kind of a challenge for me so I have to use other resources to learn and complete the project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was so proud as it was a long time dream of mine to take part in a Hackathon and build something which will solve some real-world problem and will be of some help to even a one-person than I will be more than satisfied.

What we learned

We learned that with the help of correct people and communication we can even lift mountains. Also learned a lot about time management at the same time I learned basic programming in JS and how to use it to create some awesome projects and for sure I am going to deep dive into it.

What's next for EXPENSE TRACKER

I will be improving it by adding some new cool features over time as my skills and proficiency in coding increase. As I am an absolute beginner aka noob 🤪 right now.
