How to View

Our github user page actually doesn't execute the ajax needed for the page to work. My recommendation is to just download the index.html file and open it in browser. Everything is contained in that file.

Login as "Chief", "password" btw :D

Inspiration

We both use venmo heavily to pay rent and utilities for our houses, so we wanted to play with the Nessie API to see what it took to build our own version of Venmo.

What it does

View bank account data such as account id and balance

How we built it

We couldn't find time to set up a real backend with database and we figured that Nessie already provided an API, so we used that to manage all of the CRUD operations, and loaded up all the data in javascript when the app was loaded. For demonstration purposes of course :D

Challenges we ran into

The biggest problem had to be scope/ variable naming problems. We often got very confused because we were so unorganized.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Pulling JSON from an existing API and using jQuery to populate fields was very fun. We loved it.

What we learned

Learned how to use ajax and work with public API's.

What's next for Capital Wonton

Originally we wanted this app to be used by land lords that could manage and bill their tenants directly. We definitely could not handle that feature in the time that we had, but that's definitely what's up next!
