📱 About the Project
Project Overview
Paid to Poop is a revolutionary Progressive Web App that calculates real-time earnings during bathroom breaks. Born from the simple curiosity of "How much money do I make while pooping at work?", this app has evolved into a comprehensive personal analytics platform that combines financial awareness with workplace humor.
