Emma's Epic Financial Tracker - Emma Herman Assignment 02 9/11/25
My application is a simple finance tracker in which the user can submit an item name, a cost, and an organizational tag for all of their spending.
The application implements input fields in which the user can write in their data and submit to send the data to the server and have it stored in a table. The table then has action buttons in which each item can be deleted from the table. The font is Georgia, Seirf, because I like that font. I used flexBoxes as well.
Technical Achievements: - I created a single-page app that provides a form for users to submit data and shows the current state of the server-side data. - The user is able to modify data by adding and deleting from the table. Design Achievements:
-
Menninger, Alan (Architectural Major)
-
What problems did the user have with your design? The list should have a way to organize by category, a way to edit current items, a dollar sign, and a way to reorder the items in the list.
-
What comments did they make that surprised you? The dollar sign comment was unexpected. It does make sense for the cost field to have a unit.
-
What would you change about the interface based on their feedback? I would include a dollar sign, allow reordering, allow editing for items, and have sorting options that could let you organize by cost, category, date added.

Hackler, Eliza (IMGD Major)
-
What problems did the user have with your design?
Could be more readable, color-scheme-wise. Needs sorting options, and an item count that will automatically increase the price based off the amount of items.
-
What comments did they make that surprised you? The item cost per item thing was interesting to me. I had not thought about that.
-
What would you change about the interface based on their feedback? I could change the colorscheme to be a bit more readable. Make items sortable, and add item quantity fields that allow for a price per item increase and calculation for bulk buys.
