Simple Budget App

A basic budget tracking application for managing daily finances.

Development

This application was built using quickapp, a coding agent I built for DataTalksClub AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp module 4. The project evolved through several stages:

1. Initial State: A minimal "barebone" application structure.
2. Iteration: Successive prompts were used to build out the features.
3. Expansion: CRUD actions for transactions and category management were added iteratively until the app was fully functional.

Features

• Transactions: Add new records with amounts, dates, and descriptions.
• Categories: Organize spending into custom categories.
• Summary: View total spending per category on the main dashboard.
• Management: Delete transactions or move them between categories.

Tech Stack

• Framework: FastAPI (Python)
• Database: SQLite with SQLAlchemy ORM
• Templates: Jinja2 HTML templates
