A web app for tracking expenses and budgets.

What are tendies? Basically, money. Internet people call money 'tendies' and it's a word play on 'tender' (i.e. legal currency) and chicken tenders the food ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Quick and bulk expensing
• Budget creation and automatic tracking of expenses per budget
• Custom spend categories
• Dashboard with dynamic reporting
• Detailed reports that break down spending
• Add additional payers for tracking expenses across multiple people
• Export your data directly into raw, CSV, and Excel
• Responsive design - compatible with all major browsers and devices

• Front-end: Bootstrap, Chart.js, and DataTables
  • Tendietracker.com uses Webflow and stills / mock ups from Pixabay and Burst. Images are created with Gimp, Figma, and ScreenToGif
• Back-end: Flask
• Hosting: Heroku

1. Create a directory and clone the repo in it

git clone https://github.com/Saumen95/Tendie-Tracker.git

2. Create your virtual environment:

python -m venv env

3. Activate your virtual environment:

env\Scripts\activate

4. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Create the DB in Postgres (schema in repo here)

6. Set your environment variables in .env file (otherwise hard code the string app.secret_key in app.py and engine in all of the .py files):

# App variable
SECRET_KEY=someRandomStringOfText

# DB variable
DATABASE_URL=postgres://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database-name}

7. Build and run the Flask app in VSCode

Some of the other things I wanted to add and may work on at a later time include:

• Tests
• User intro / walk-through of the app
• Improved budget tracking (i.e calculates if your weekly / monthly spending is on-track or not)
• Dark theme
• Suggested spend categories
