Description

1. This is my personal Django project that helps you to track your expenses.

• I used Tailwind CSS in designing the website
  
• To plot the charts I used the Chart.js library, Chart.js renders chart elements on an HTML5 canvas.
  
• The data of the expenses and all the features are stored in the SQLite database.
