Wasted food, energy, and money are common practices around the world and can lead to unhealthy financial and physical health. We wanted to give users a score given their spending information to show how they could improve their spending and resource use. Our project corresponds to Goal 3 and 12 of the SDGs and Category 3 - Industry.
What it does
Expenso is a webapp designed to help you manage your lifestyle and expenditures all in one!
Upon making an account (work in progress), you'll be able to input your personal health and fitness levels, your regular spending and consumption habits, and your personal goals (also work in progress). Expenso will calculate an eco-friendliness rating, which is a relative rating level of your data in comparison to the population (not in progress yet). From there, it'll guide you through different ways to increase your rating through a stronger diet, thoughtful consumption of basic utilities, and so on.
Ideally, it would be able to track your habits over time and adjust your rating accordingly, while giving suggestions for improvement in expenditure and consumption. It would also rank you against other people on the site and allow you to compete.
Challenges I ran into
Using Firebase made absolutely no sense so we tried to learn how to use MongoDB. The entire group also suffers a collective addiction to League of Legends (ARAM only) and cannot focus for more than 15 minutes at a time as a result.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Making the website respond to us to simulate human interaction that we haven't received in 4 months.
What I learned
How to focus for more than 15 minutes at a time.
What's next for Expenso
Learning enough to fully implement all of the features we had expected in our MVP.
