Sinatra Expense Tracker

A simple Sinatra-powered web application created to save and track expenses.

This app could be used for:

• Tracking department expenses during a film shoot
• Following spending habits during vacation
• Storing tax-deductible spending independent contractor or LLC's Schedule C form
• Saving copies of spending submitted for reimbursement to an employer

This project was created as part of the Flatiron School's Online Web Developer program.

For more information about how the project was created, visit my blog and watch the demo videodemo video.

1. Comment out the current session_secret in the Application Controller and un-comment the ENV.fetch('SESSION_SECRET').
2. Create a new .env file by running touch .env in your terminal
3. Use the session_secret_generator gem, included in this project's Gemfile, by running generate_secret in the terminal.
4. Copy the secret from your terminal output and paste into your .env file locally. It should look something like this in your .env file:

SESSION_SECRET=8ad90be1a5a9aaaf04a0a99d8efb42c825f16b8fef603f65b600c91d66a17bdd520099130ed70669409a524a97c8f62e9434a0ad102624f9bcff0832e3c2f568
