SubscribeRemind #2

Open tuj39467 opened 3 years ago

Project Abstract

The SubscribeRemind software registers all of the user’s active subscriptions to allow the user to keep track of their financial payments without receiving any surprise charges in their bank account. To prevent unnecessary monthly or yearly subscription fees from accumulating over time, this product will track the duration of the user’s activity on the device that they installed it on to determine if the subscription is worth paying for. Not only is this meant to better inform the user of how to efficiently manage their money, but it also holds the service providers accountable for charging the correct amount at the correct time.

High Level Requirement

This software collects this data manually from user input to account for the service and its subscription type. For example, if the user was a college student who wanted to keep track of their Spotify monthly fees, the application would store the user-specified student bundle subscription in order to track the amount of time spent as well as the amount of money spent for the current monthly period.

Conceptual Design

This will be programmed in Python, Java, or AWS, then in Gradle.

Background

There is a similar website that allows the user to track and manage their subscriptions called Zoho Subscriptions. Unlike this website, SubscribeRemind will track the amount of time spent using each service to give the user a better understanding of whether it is still worth their money to retain a subscription. However, SubscribeRemind will only display these statistics without allowing the user to directly manage their subscriptions through the software as compared to Zoho Subscriptions.

Required Resources

A good understanding of cloud computing (preferably AWS) would help with gathering the data necessary from the user to portray accurate statistics.

This is one of the top three project proposals that I pick. This is a good idea and an interesting topic to me. As we know, unknown charges from people's bank account happened a lot. This will be a very useful software to help people to track their financial payments without receiving any unknown charges. I would love to contribute to any part of the app development process. I have experience with java, and I have done User Experience Design class and I have also learned some new concepts in this course and willing to share. I will also help for research for more information and share some ideas if needed.
