Overview
Finance Summit is designed to gamify debt repayment, making the process more engaging and motivating. Users climb “Mount NeverDebt” as they pay off their balances, with mini-goals along the way to motivate and encourage progress. Upon reaching their final goal, they are rewarded with a celebratory confetti animation.
While many existing tools rely on spreadsheets and graphs, Finance Summit was created for individuals who find traditional financial tracking intimidating or unmotivating. By incorporating motivational and game like features, the platform aims to make debt repayment more approachable and rewarding.
This project was an opportunity to strengthen my JavaScript skills and gain hands-on experience with database development. The mathematical challenges involved in calculating debt payments pushed me to explore new problem-solving techniques, significantly enhancing my JavaScript knowledge.

Social Media Database
Leveraging the social media database from Third Space provided built-in login functionality, allowing me to focus directly on developing the core features.
Making a Mountain
Creating the mountain was one of the more challenging aspects of this project. Since there was no built-in option to convert the chart into an image, I implemented a combination of gradients, a background image, and foreground elements to achieve the desired effect.
