We have noticed that a lot of people in today's society, particularly teenagers, are financially illiterate and lack the skills and discipline to save and spend their money wisely. Therefore, we decided to create BuddyBudget as a solution to this problem.
BuddyBudget features a budget tracker to help you with your financial goals by keeping track of all of your savings and expenses. Additionally, the app comes equipped with a learning hub containing financial literacy articles to teach you fundamental financial literacy skills and short quizzes to test your newly acquired knowledge.
We used Swift UI to build a simple yet powerful and visually appealing frontend for iOS devices (contributed by ASZM101). We also wrote a backend in Rust to deploy a REST API quickly and efficiently using Rocket (contributed by InfinitePower563).
In the future of BuddyBudget, we hope to make this highly useful tool available to a wider range of platforms, as well as expand our learning hub by writing more articles and creating more quizzes.
