Dont just save, Grow money!!!
The problem InvestBuddies solves
The best way to learn about investing is by actually doing it. But for new investors who might feel intimidated or lack sufficient funds, our platform offers a collaborative approach.
Imagine a company offers an investment opportunity with a minimum amount required to purchase a lot. As a beginner, I might not be able to afford it alone.
That’s where InvestBuddies comes in: I can collaborate with my friends to pool resources and purchase the lot together.
This way, everyone can participate in investments they otherwise couldn’t afford, fostering teamwork and mutual growth.
The app provides a seamless experience for coordinating such collaborations, making investing a more approachable and enjoyable journey.
Beginner-Friendly Features
Since our app is tailored for beginners, educating users is a key focus. To achieve this, we plan to introduce a gamified learning experience:
Daily Quiz:
Users answer five questions daily to test their knowledge.
After each question, they see how many answers were correct or incorrect.
Learning Support:
For every question, users can explore a "Know More" section or consult an interactive chatbot for clarity.
This helps users understand why a particular answer is right or wrong, making learning engaging and interactive.
Chatbot Assistance:
A dedicated chatbot will answer queries related to Fintech topics, such as investments, returns, and more.
The Need for a Dashboard
Do we require a dashboard?
Yes, a dashboard can greatly enhance the user experience and act as a powerful feature for the platform.
Benefits of a Dashboard:
User Insights:
A centralized space where users can view their profile details, investment progress, and returns.
Display collaboration details, such as the friends they’ve partnered with.
Learning Progress:
Showcase quiz streaks, milestones, and knowledge growth.
Add fun comments or achievements to make the experience more engaging.
Challenges we ran into
Challenge : Flask Server Deployment and integration with the flutter app
Issue:
Deploying the Flask server with Groclake tools to a reliable and scalable platform was initially tricky. Ensuring a seamless deployment environment that could handle multiple API requests was a key concern.
Solution:
We chose OnRender as our deployment platform due to its simplicity and robust hosting capabilities for Python-based APIs. Proper configurations, such as setting up CORS policies and using environment variables for sensitive data, helped streamline the deployment process.
