Penny Wise

Designed and developed a full fledged website for a open source project Penny Wise, an expense tracking website.

Implemented an end-to-end expense tracking portal using the MERN stack and ShadCN UI.

Built with Next.js, the project features a comprehensive dashboard for managing and analyzing expenses.

Includes advanced analytical tools such as charts and graphs, and offers a premium membership option for additional features.

This project is an open-source initiative.

Challenges & Constraints

The Penny Wise project presented several challenges common in full-stack development and advanced web applications.

• Integrating the MERN stack effectively, Coordinating the use of MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js to create a seamless end-to-end application required careful planning and implementation to ensure all components worked together efficiently.
• Designing and implementing a fully-fledged dashboard, Developing an interactive and user-friendly dashboard that includes various charts and graphs for expense analysis posed a challenge. Ensuring that the dashboard provided meaningful insights while remaining easy to use required thoughtful design and testing.
• Implementing a premium membership system, Creating a subscription-based model with restricted access to premium features involved developing a secure and functional system for user authentication, payment processing, and feature management.
