Money Tracker Web Application

Welcome to the PaiseKaHisab web application! This app is designed to help you manage your finances, track your expenses, visualize spending patterns, and provide useful financial advice. Below is a detailed overview of the app's features.

Features

1. Expense Tracking

Feature Overview:

• Add an Expense: Easily record your expenses by entering the amount and selecting a category.
• Categories: Track your spending in predefined categories like Food, Shopping, Rent, Travel, Lend, and others.
• Transaction History: View a detailed history of all your transactions, including the category, date, and amount spent.

How It Works:

• Users enter the expense amount and select the appropriate category.
• Transactions are timestamped and stored locally, so they persist even after page reloads.
• The app maintains a complete history of transactions for future reference.

2. Expense Visualization

Feature Overview:

• Pie Chart: Visualize your expenses with a real-time pie chart that updates as you add new transactions.

How It Works:

• The pie chart reflects the percentage of spending across different categories.
• Every new expense automatically updates the chart, providing an instant visual summary.

3. Transaction History Table

Feature Overview:

• Detailed Table: Displays your transaction history in a clear and organized table.
• Columns: Includes the category, date, and amount spent for each transaction.
• Total Spend: Shows the total amount spent across all categories.

How It Works:

• The table is dynamically populated with transaction details as they are entered.
• A total at the bottom calculates the overall spending.

4. Financial Advice

Feature Overview:

• Random Advice: Receive random financial advice every time you visit the home page.

How It Works:

• Advice is fetched from the Advice Slip API and displayed on the home page.
• This feature provides quick and helpful financial tips for better money management.

5. GitHub Commit Count

Feature Overview:

• GitHub Commit Count: The number of commits made to build this app is dynamically fetched from GitHub.

How It Works:

• The app uses the GitHub API to fetch the total number of commits made to the repository and displays this count in the footer.

Issues to be Solved

We have some tasks open for contributions. If you're a fresher or a beginner, the app’s easy tech stack makes it ideal for you to start contributing! Here are some issues to work on:

1. Hide Firebase API Keys:

   • Currently, the Firebase API keys are publicly visible in the codebase. We need to secure these keys by hiding them properly.

2. Add a Website Visitor Counter:

   • Implement a feature to count and display the number of visitors to the website.

3. Custom Alert Box for Input Validation:

   • Replace the browser's default alert boxes with a custom-designed alert box for validation errors (e.g., when a user doesn't enter a value in required fields like "price" or "name"). See the full issue details here.

To contribute to these issues, please follow the contribution steps below.
