View the live project here: Wedding Savings

• Python

• This project began with generating the concept of the wedding savings planned, and determining the information relevant (and priority thereof) for users of this product - i.e. savings, expenses, total savings at a certain month.

• Once the relevant information for users had been determined, I developed a technical approach that would allow this information to be retrieved, and calculated where necessary, based on existing spreadsheet input.

The site was deployed to Heroku.

The steps to deploy are as follows: First I created an account with the Heroku, then I navigated to "create a new app". I then gave my project a name and clicked create app. I configured my enviroment variables and the heroku built my app using Github repository. I had then connected my credentials from the .gitignore file to the API. After that, I inserted the contents of my creds.json file to Heroku so that it can accsess my spreadsheet, then I added my buildpack which is Python and Node.js so that it can handle the mock terminal. Later on, I choose my deployment method which is with Github and connected to it by seraching the name of my project. Finally, I manually deployed my project in the mock terminal. The mock terminal is ready to be used at https://wedding-savings.herokuapp.com/

Wedding Savings calculator is to enable users to quickly and effortlessly view savings, expenses & total savings both on a per-month and overall basis by just selecting the specific month.
