Inspiration
We noticed how tricky investing feels to most folks and thought, why not make it simpler and fun? That's how Finwise popped up in our heads—a friendly app that makes investing a piece of cake and teaches you a thing or two along the way.
What it does
Finwise turns the scary world of stocks and bonds into a walk in the park. Our app uses AI to guide your investment journey, making saving for anything from a vacation to retirement feel like chatting with an old friend.
How we built it
With a mix of coding magic, teamwork, and probably too much coffee, we pieced together Finwise using MongoDB, TypeScript, Next.js, React, MaterialUI, Auth0, and Prisma. It was a wild ride of problem-solving and pizza-eating.
Challenges we ran into
One of our biggest hurdles was getting Prisma, MongoDB, and Next.js to play nice together. Each technology is powerful on its own, but integrating them smoothly was a challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're really proud of getting Prisma, MongoDB, and Next.js to work seamlessly together. It felt like piecing together a complex puzzle, but in the end, we created.
What we learned
Working with Prisma, MongoDB, and Next.js gave us a crash course in efficiency and scalability. Prisma simplified our database interactions, MongoDB offered us flexibility in storing data, and Next.js helped us create a slick, responsive app.
What's next for
We're planning to refine Finwise, fix any kinks, and maybe roll out some new stuff. There's more road ahead, and we're excited to see where it leads.
