Inspiration
We wanted to find a cool way to visualize personal data and combine it with finance and personal spending.
What it does
WalletApp allows users to create a monthly budget. After setting goals, users can categorize new purchases and view their spending insights in their wallet. The wallet is an interactive data tool that uses different credit cards to show users how much they have spent and how much of their budget is remaining in each category.
How we built it
Our app is built on Django framework. All backend and integration was done in python, using sqlite as the database. The frontend was built out using HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into a lot of challenges... we started the hackathon building a ML regression model to predict trends in SWE demographics and salaries. We collected data from the same source from 2011 to 2022, however the first challenge we ran into was the drastic difference in feature-values from year to year. After hours of cleaning, we finally trained the model and the data was just so sparse and random that the prediction was extremely weak. We tried different models and types of encoding but nothing improved performance enough to use. Over half way through we switched gears entirely, and then our biggest challenge became time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Continuing on and building this app even after our first idea fell through (and drained us)!
What we learned
Clean data given in classes is way to under appreciated! We also both learned various new technologies throughout the hackathon.
What's next for Wallet App
We want to create user profile and develop a mobile version.
