I Owe U

Inspiration

We have been in situations where we are in small amounts of debt to other friends from group expenses. We wanted to create something to help manage this problem.

What it does

Our app allows you to create a group for a given transaction, invite others to join your group via QR code or access code, and lets you organize each share of the total cost for each group member.

How we built it

We used React and axios front-end to interact with Express. Express used postgreSQL to interact with our cockroachDB.

Challenges we ran into

Learning postgres, Express, and all the different frameworks required to build a minimum viable product within a very short amount of time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the fact that we were able to quickly familiarize ourselves with these technologies in order to make our product.

What we learned

We learned how different levels of the stack work with each other. We learned git for project management.

What's next for I Owe U

Next, we will implement a receipt scanning feature with open_csv libraries, that way expenses don't have to be tracked manually.
