Unfortunately in current times, most people cannot afford to save for a house alone. We want to help.
Save a Nation wants to:
- Make housing affordable
- Change spending behaviours
- Provide more than just material motivation for spending
The Save a Nation app provides a way for people to save with friends and get on the property ladder together!
Users connect with their friends and set a savings target, both personal and joint.
Use the app to save where you can. Dodged that second pint? Got the night bus? One tap and the money goes towards your target and is visible to your entire team. High five each other all the way.
Adding to your balance creates virtual cash-monies to build a team house. Smash your weekly targets and watch the dream take shape!

###Screenshots
We were all keen to try a new stack for our project. We were confident we could use our newly-acqured language-agnostic skills to produce the something awesome.
Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript framework, using it both on the back and front end. It is fast and everything happens in real-time. With our vision of a game that many members of a team could take part in, the ability for real-time gameplay was very enticing.
User Stories here.
- Hook it up with a real bank account, e.g. the Monzo API, to integrate seamlessly with the online banking that users already do.
- Build up the game into a fully interactive world where users have avatars and the decisions they make on what to spend have a strategic purpose. At the minute it is a proof of concept but it has enormous potential.
