Balance (final name could change) is a zero-based budgeting system that allows a user to add incomes as well as plan and track their expenses.
I am looking for 1-2 other teammates to join this project.
The project will likely use PostgreSQL or SQLite with ~4 tables to start (users, incomes, expenses, expense_categories).
We will also use a NoSQL document database; likely MongoDB or DynamoDB.
This will begin as an open source project for free use for whomever wants to keep better track of their finances.
We will have to obtain an open source license for our project to determine under which conditions our software can be used or modified.
The following outline represents the major steps for this project
- Design and create the database tables and schemas (relational & NoSQL)
- Design and build a backend API to handle business logic of budgeting transactions, such as creating an expense category or adding a new income (likely in Kotlin or possibly some other JVM language such as Java)
- Build a simple authentication layer for different user accounts (likely with JWT)
- Build a simple mobile (Android) or web (React) client for a user to view and update their personal budget
