Motivation

To make personal and group financial planning more collaborative and effective.

Challenges

  • Implementing a robust role-based access control system for multi-user collaboration
  • Integrating external services (Stripe for payments, Resend for emails, etc.) into the budgeting workflow
  • Integrating and making all the features communicate with each other was a challenging task

Learnings

  • Gained experience with advanced Next.js features (App Router, NextAuth) and type-safe ORM (Drizzle) in a full-stack application
  • Learned best practices for secure handling of financial data and third-party API integrations
  • Even though I had made a great plan before starting the project, I should have used smaller and more specific milestones

Detailed Overview

HiveBudget is a collaborative financial planning platform for managing personal or group finances through shared groups called "Hives". It allows users to organize income, expenses, and budgets collectively with features like role-based access control and interactive financial reports.

Work in progress

I am currently working on some details of the HiveBudget application to make it public and available for everyone to use. Meanwhile, I would be happy to show you a demo of the application.

Key Features

Key features include collaborative budgeting groups with role-based permissions (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer), intelligent transaction categorization, budgeting goals tracking, detailed charts for financial analysis, and secure authentication with multiple sign-in options.
