A list of all the references and resources we used to achieve (partially) our goal are listed in the acknowledgements.
React.js as the base library along with tailwind css
Firebase for the authentication of the users so that every users information can be saved
Netlify to host the react app
Postman Api for financial news
AlphaVantage for Stocks overview
First we came up with a problem statement and started to design and prototype the basic functionality of the web app on Adobe Xd.
Then we followed with building a basic prototype of all the features that can be included.
Then went with designing and developing UI using ReactJs & Tailwind CSS (with help of few resources mentioned in the last section).
The frontend developers were not familiar with tailwind CSS. So it took a while to build frontend and to polish it out.
This is our first time to integrate firebase authentication and different api's with a web application.
We intially thought of making a flutter app but were not able to proceed due to lack of resources.
Responsiveness was an issue which was solved.
Due to the time constraint of the hackathon, many things were accomplished only till half way. These include :
-
Unique Digital Cards: We are planning to build a feature where every user will be able to access a digital card that features all their acheivements based on their current and previous investments.
-
Goal Tracker: To add a roadmap so that, user can set a goal and track their progress of different investment.
-
More Investment Option: Currently we only have limited number of stocks and investments options and we intend to increase them by adding sections like mutual funds, bonds etc.
-
More responsive & optimized UI
