Inspiration
Our inspiration was to help students that are in college deal with finances in a better way.
What it does
We take in multiple finance information about a person and calculate the best way to help with proper financing.
How we built it
We built it with Swift UI and Python, with alpha vantage API that helped us properly grab data about stocks and finances in the current market.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into multiple challenges gathering data from established API's that have inbuilt scraping functions, moreover, we also had problems in connecting the frontend with the backend due to issues with swift.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of how the app turned our and the functionalities we were able to provide for the user. Moreover, we also love the design for our UI that we think is unique and simple for users.
What we learned
We learned how to properly connect backend with frontend and also how to solve problems that arise with compatibility issues due to different software's being used in the project.
What's next for StepUp
We would like to make it more functional, add more features that we were not able to implement due to the short time span of the hackathon.
