What's next for MeLoan

We plan on creating a login system using PHP and MySQL database. On the homepage, we also plan on implementing a code that allows the dashboards to be updated while the users enter the input prompted on that particular page. In addition, we also plan on making a Machine Learning algorithm that predicts the loan payment deadline using the inputs from the calculator.

I mainly worked on the budgeting, login, and educational webpages for the webapp using Javascript, HTML, and CSS3 programming languages. I also worked on making the webapp user friendly by creating the navigation bar on each webpage, background design, and etc. I also spent some time helping out with the student loan calculator on the student loan webpage.
