Venmo_of_Indo

We're making Venmo but for Indo, but better and greater.

Comment

Inspiration

We noticed that Indonesia does not have a widely-used convenient peer-to-peer electronic bank transaction application and decided to make an improved version of Venmo targeted towards Indonesian people and small Indonesian businesses.

What it does

Venmo of Indo allows users to electronically send payments to individual businesses and peers identified by userID. Users can also request money from others, making daily transactions more seamless and cash-free. Money transactions are sent directly from bank account to bank account, instead of storing money directly within the app.

How I built it

Venmo of Indo was built as a mix of front end (Android Development) and backend using AWS libraries. The UI was built in order to create a skeleton of the app and plan for the backend configuration.

Challenges I ran into

Our whole team is made up of inexperienced coders who are looking for a new challenge. Getting everything set up and figuring out the libraries for a large project under time constraints was the most challenging part of the project. We had to also learn how to connect front and back end logic.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are all proud of what we were able to learn and present at the end of the project. We are all fresh coders in full-stack development, and had to learn to adjust to how to tie in the different programs.

What I learned

We learned a lot about the AWS and Json programs, and we also got introduced to how to tie in back-end programming with our UI. We also had to learn how to switch between and unify different layouts for our front-end app development.

What's next for Venmo_of_Indo

We think that there are a lot more functions necessary for Venmo of Indo to be a complete application. We think that we can further help smaller businesses by giving them more access to technology, like we are trying to do.
