Splitwise

Project Details 🤝

Splitwise is a widely-used app that simplifies the complexities of shared expenses, especially among friends and flatmates. While the app offers many useful features, there's always room for improvement. This project delves into adding two potential features that could enhance the user experience.

Problem Statement ❌

Many users find it tedious to manually input each expense, especially when dealing with detailed bills. Additionally, when splitting expenses, it's common to want to divide based on individual items rather than just the total.

Objective 🎯

To streamline the process of inputting and itemizing expenses in Splitwise, making the process more efficient and user-friendly.

Possible Solutions ✅

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) integration for scanning and inputting bill details.

An itemized system that allows users to assign costs per item to different individuals.

Target Audience 👥

Splitwise users, especially those who frequently split bills with multiple items, like grocery or dining bills, with friends or roommates.

Selected Solution 🌟

Integrating a bill scanning feature that not only scans but also allows users to itemize each expense, assigning them to individuals as needed.
