Gastosaurus, the project's square image
## What it is Gastosaurus is a group expense tracker for barkadas, roommates and trips. It keeps a running balance for each person, suggests the fewest payments to settle up, and has the receiver confirm each one. Built with React, Express and PostgreSQL. ## Why it is here A dinosaur mascot for a budgeting app should not work. It does. And *ambagan* is the right word: it is built for how Filipino friend groups actually split a bill. ## Find it - Project: [github.com/francoiseee/gastosaurus](https://github.com/francoiseee/gastosaurus) - Live: [gastosaurus-francoise.vercel.app](https://gastosaurus-francoise.vercel.app/) - GitHub: [@francoiseee](https://github.com/francoiseee) ## Screenshots
