Inspiration

We wanted to save up money in a new finance model.

What it does

The service will help a group of people saves up money for various reasons such as vacation, hobbies, and insurance.

How we built it

We used Nessie-API to handle financial activities(deposit, withdrawal, transfer), and integrated with the Node.js server. In addition, we implemented the frontend using HTML/CSS/javaScript to visualize the user experience.

Challenges we ran into

(1) Designing the overall system architecture. (2) Building the mock data for calling/testing all the API endpoints we used for the project. (3) Solving unexpected API behaviors such as asynchronous loading between the front-end side and the Nessie-API DB side.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a web service from scratch, and successfully implemented Nessie-API for financial activity purposes. Individuals worked on the project simultaneously using git and Github.

What we learned

  • git
  • API call
  • Server technology
  • Full-stack web development

What's next for Group Cash

Implement the system via using the block-chain concept (non-central authorization system).
