Expense Tracker

Build a personal finance management application that helps users understand their spending patterns and improve their financial habits. People need clear ways to track expenses, set budgets, and gain insights into their money management without overwhelming complexity or confusing interfaces.

What You'll Build:

Your expense tracker should allow users to log income and expenses, create custom spending categories, and set monthly budgets with progress tracking. Provide clear analytics through charts and reports that help users make informed financial decisions and develop better spending habits.

Key User Stories:

• As a user, I want to quickly log my income and expenses with amounts, categories, and descriptions
• As a user, I want to create and manage custom spending categories that match my lifestyle
• As a user, I want to set monthly budgets for different categories and track my progress against them
• As a user, I want to see my spending patterns through charts and visual analytics over time
• As a user, I want to search and filter my transaction history to find specific expenses
• As a user, I want to export my financial data for backup or use in other applications

Technical Implementation:

Focus on efficient data entry forms and robust local storage for financial data persistence. Implement data visualization for spending analytics and ensure responsive design for mobile expense logging. Consider data export functionality and proper categorization systems for financial organization.
