SpendWise
Spending analysis app - gain meaningful insights from historical transactions.
The problem SpendWise solves
Splitwise - used by 5+ million users, does not let users analyze their spending at a personal level.
Given the widespread usage, there is a vast amount of rich historical data, which can be leveraged with minimal effort.
Our app - 'SpendWise' lets users track their spending in a single platform, with minimal effort.
To achieve this, 'SpendWise' lets users import their existing data from Splitwise, using OAuth.
Alternatively, they can also manually enter their transactional data.
Features:
-
Personal level data visualisation + capability to search / filter / sort.
-
Define custom categories for better accuracy.
-
Better expense estimation and management.
Challenges we ran into
OAuth integration was tricky due to:
i) CORS and iFrame related security controls.
ii) Poor documentation.
For enabling drill-down in Pie chart had to test multiple libraries such as HighCharts, D3.js, Chart.js etc.
