Inspiration
My project draws inspiration from a close friend's financial struggles. In search of a challenge to improve my coding skills, my friend suggested I create something to help him keep track of his finances. I wanted to ensure he could access it from anywhere, leading me to develop a web app despite having no prior experience in building websites. The vision: to offer easy expense tracking and financial empowerment to people worldwide.
