Inspiration
Our main inspiration to join a hackathon was to solve a real world problem. We tackled this problem statement as most of the apis that provide this service provide a paid solution for analytics and historical data. So we tried to provide a free of cost application
What it does
The app gathers real time data for forex buying/selling rates which provides easy to view rate conversions to the user, A registration system using JSBank account registration API, Wallet registration API, Conversion of currencies, Prediction of rates of USD.
How we built it
It was built using Flutter with mobile being the main platform. We made a custom API which gathers the forex rates which is then used throughout the app for conversions, using the Tensorflow model to predict the price of USD/PKR.
Challenges we ran into
The challenges we ran into was ** UI/UX** design and finding a common ground on which platform to use that every member can use. Utilization of newly found APIs of JSBank.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A working prototype was developed which was able to perform the task given in the problem statement, A good looking UI/UX which does not look too empty or too cluttered to overwhelm the user.
What we learned
How to build a custom API for dedicated needs for an app, How to utilize APIs in a professional environment, UI/UX designing for mobile Apps. Resource Management of the team.
What's next for Untitled
Better Rate predictions for all currencies, Marketplace for items where the remittance can be used directly to buy products. Market investment suggestions based on current wallet amount.
