Proposal
-
What problem does your app solve? Allows a group of people to split their bill without their calculators Sends notification for individual’s portion of the bill Send/track money person-to-person format Safer way to transfer money
-
Be as specific as possible; how does your app solve the problem? Allows users to create a bill Add other users to bill Send notifications based on the users add to the bill
-
What is the mission statement? We’re here to make moving money easy. Stop fighting over who paid what and skip the awkward conversation. Our mission is to help you keep the peace and split the cost of the event or “hang out” in a format that is easy to use and pleasing to the eye. Features
-
What features are required for your minimum viable product? The ability to split a bill between users Create multiple bills/users and add accordingly Send notifications to friends
-
What features may you wish to put in a future release? Keep track of bills Allow friends to pay their portions (add directly to a friend’s account)
-
What do the top 3 similar apps do for their users? Splitwise (https://www.splitwise.com/) Settle Up (https://settleup.io) Kittysplit ( https://www.kittysplit.com/en/) Tab (https://www.tabapp.co/) Frameworks - Libraries
-
What 3rd party frameworks/libraries are you considering using? Semantic-UI Axios Swup library
-
Do APIs require you to contact its maintainer to gain access? no
-
Are you required to pay to use the API? no
-
Have you considered using Apple Frameworks? (MapKit, Healthkit, ARKit?) Not at this time For Data Scientists
Dont have any of these to cover questions for this section
- Describe the Established data source with at least rough data able to be provided on day 1.
- You can gather information about the data set you’ll be working with from the project description. Be sure to collaborate with your PM, and your Backend Architect to chat about the resources you have.
- Write a description for what the DS problem is (what uncertainty/prediction are we trying to do here? Sentiment analysis? Why is this a useful solution to a problem?)
- A target (e.g. JSON format or such) for output that DS students can deliver to web/other students for them to ingest and use in the app
Target Audience
- Who is your target audience? Be specific. Publicly social smart device users that meet in small groups. Think brunch/lunch/dinner or Happy hour.
- What feedback have you gotten from potential users? TBD
- Have you validated the problem and your solution with your target audience? How? TBD
Research
-
Research thoroughly before writing a single line of code. Solidify the features of your app conceptually before implementation. Spend the weekend researching so you can hit the ground running on Monday. Prototype Key Feature(s)
-
This is the “bread and butter” of the app, this is what makes your app yours. Calculate how long it takes to implement these features and triple the time estimated. That way you’ll have plenty of time to finish. It is preferred to drop features and spend more time working on your MVP features if needed.
Key feature takes bill total and splits it among a possible total of 3 persons and sends an email to each person of the finding amount.
