Challenges we ran into
One of the major problems in the frontend was the use of FetchAPI. After declaring endpoint for all the requests, we couldn't send the request for individual users. Every time we sent a request the server would crash. In order to overcome that bug, we had to authenticate every single screen individually.
We encountered many non-terminating loops while doing the calculations involved due to the irregular mapping of values. We finally decided on doing the calculations from the backend to overcome that bug.
In the backend, we encountered ISP specific bug while using MongoDB Atlas. We compared our individual ISPs to figure out what the problem was and used VPN on the problematic ISP.
We also faced problems while adding month-specific data. A new document was created every time we added a new month. We had to add a condition to match the id with the user to overcome this problem.
