Bounty-Bot-Expenses

Note: This project is a backend-only version of the Project Bounty-Web-Expenses

Tracking expenses accurately can be a real headache for roommates / co-workers - especially if you have a "kanjoos". Today there are quite a few apps (mobile or web) that allow you to do this, but we want to see your take on this problem.

Your task is to build a simple (yet functional) Expense Manager using Node.js. Your program will deploy a bot on an IRC / Slack channel that will listen for transaction related messages by other members of the cahnnel. Remember we are going to evaluate you on the following parameters:

• How you think and how creative you are
• How you code - structure, comments, and efficiency
• And how quickly can you learn

We have included a few sample conversations to get you started below. Be creative in your approach.

• sameer: let's build this app over the weekend
• sameer: @bot addt paid 600 for dinner yesterday. all
• bot: transaction recorded.
• shubham: addt. kaushik paid 100 for coffee on Feb 3
• bot: transaction recorded.
• kaushik: @bot addt I owe Dilip 50
• oobot: transaction recorded.
• dilip: @bot addm new Shrivatsa
• bot: Shrivatsa created

Next

• Integrate with a chat solution like Slack
• Define commands and enable actions on the chat (Slack) interface

If you are going for the kill and you really want to wow us:

1. Pull Reports on Historical Data. Ex: @bot report Jan
2. Options like Mail, Export to xls etc
3. Build visualiztions on the web from the data stored in your DB

Final Words

When you are done, please just create a pull request on this repo. We would like you to come in and present your code to the whole team.

May the force be with you!
