A modern FinTech dashboard designed to make personal budget management intuitive and engaging using the "Savings Jars" concept.
BullBudget is a full stack webapp application built with Vite and React for frontend, Node.js and Firebase to provide real-time data synchronization. It features a clean, grid-based dashboard that allows users to track their total balance, view spending statistics, and manage individual budget categories (Jars).
