I did this project on my own, and my role consisted chiefly of implementing the back-end (Python) and structuring the database (SQLite). The web-app runs on Flask, which handles routing and HTTP requests. Most of the front-end is provided as part of the CS50 edX course I took over Winter Break, which provided the scaffolding on which this project is built. The users' passwords are stored as hashes - using a provided hash function - while all financial data is pulled from Yahoo Finance .
