Elevator Pitch
Keep track of who owes whom money with ease!
What it does
Keeps a running tab on how much your friends owe you, and how much you owe your friends. Has two features to make tab-keeping easy: a bill-splitter calculator and manual charging. The bill-splitter can split any restaurant check evenly amongst a group of people, and the manual charger allows you to bill your friends individually, or if you owe them, you can document that as well. When it comes time to pay, you only have to pay the net difference, and not several back-and-forth transactions that can make payments confusing and tedious.
How we built it
We used HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and a bit of imagination :)
Challenges we ran into
Hosting with MLH's domain didn't work, encountered difficulties with databases and coding in general.
Accomplishments we're proud of
The website looks great and actually works!!!
What we learned
Don't be too ambitious with your projects -- otherwise, you'll run into dead ends and become easily frustrated. Teamwork and keeping a positive attitude are crucial for working long hours!
What's next for Settle the Tab
We want to implement a receipt scanner that will allow you to automatically charge people just by taking a picture of your restaurant bill. We would like to integrate social media and other apps such as Venmo to allow quick payments, in addition to a notification system to alert people of due bills.
