Spending-Tracker

First CodeClan individual project creating in 7 days using Python, Flask, HTML/CSS PostgreSQL and the psycopg.

Brief:

Spending Tracker

Build an app that allows a user to track their spending.

MVP

• The app should allow the user to create and edit merchants, e.g. Tesco, Amazon, ScotRail
• The app should allow the user to create and edit tags for their spending, e.g. groceries, entertainment, transport
• The user should be able to assign tags and merchants to a transaction, as well as an amount spent on each transaction.
• The app should display all the transactions a user has made in a single view, with each transaction's amount, merchant and tag, and a total for all transactions.

Inspired by:

Monzo, MoneyDashboard, lots of mobile/online banking apps

Possible Extensions

• The user should be able to mark Merchants and Tags as deactivated. Users will not be able to choose deactivated merchants/tags when creating a transaction.
• Transactions should have a timestamp, and the user should be able to view transactions sorted by the time they took place.
• The user should be able to supply a budget, and the app should alert the user somehow when when they are nearing this budget or have gone over it.
• The user should be able to filter their view of transactions, for example, to view all transactions in a given month, or view all spending on groceries.
