Project Overview

Splitty is a money splitting app for simplifying paying back the money you owe. It was created as an assignment for the TU delft with a team of six in java using spring boot.

My focus for this project

A big part of my work for this project was to design and implement the API. The requirements for the project were that we used websockets and long-polling for this to enable the client to update when another client made a change. The first step we took as a team was to brainstorm the requirements for the API. Following this brainstorm I created a markdown document which described the requirements of the API. Having these requirements I researched on how to make and made a connection between the client and server using spring boot's REST controller and Jakarta's websockets.

besides the API i also worked on the frontend. I mostly worked on the UX. After the app requirements were set we decided on which pages were necessary to meet these requirements. I then created a flowchart to document how these pages would interact with each other. To aid in this besides this i also created a wireframe for the main page which could switch to a lot of screens. I did this to make sure that it was possible and realistic for this page to have so many different buttons which switch to other pages. This was not the wireframe we used later but was helpful in deciding the page flow of the application.
