Inspiration

We went on a trip with many people and at the end we struggled a lot to split the bills, even with an excel spreadsheet. We want to make a website that would help minimize this problem.

What it does

One user will make an event and then add everyone who was involved to that event. Then everyone inputs what they paid for and who used it. It uses this information to calculate who owes who how much.

How we built it

We created a database to save the information with SQL and then would process the relevant rows with Pandas. The website was made with Django and is run with AWS.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues connecting the various parts of our project together.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our algorithm and the overall efficiency of our site.

What we learned

We learned how to integrate SQL with Pandas and run a Django app on AWS.

What's next for IOU: the quick way to pay

We want to add a way to create accounts if people want as well as integrate this with payment apps.
