Inspiration

The challenge offered by BNY Mellon seemed simple at first but thinking more about it revealed the multitudes of ways it could've gone. Regardless we went the simplest route without overcomplicating it.

What it does

Do you ever want to know how much your apples, milk and cake costs? Well that's what we're here for.. just make sure you don't buy more than 15!

How we built it

We built it with the most basic and pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript with just a hint of Tailwind CSS to make styling easier.

Challenges we ran into

Getting a grasp of the Tailwind CSS was difficult at first but we quickly eased into it. The backend logic for calculating the prices of the groceries with JavaScript was the most challenging part however, as using JS for logic is something none of the team members were really familiar with.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the simple, effective GUI that we have implemented successfully.

What we learned

We not only strengthened our foundations in HTML, CSS and JavaScript but also had the opportunity to try other technologies. In the beginning, the app was intended to be developed on Streamlit instead and after countless hours using that platform, we eventually realized that we should switch to solutions that are more efficient and effective for the desired tasks.
