Introduction to Prototype
Our computer prototype for PennyPincher is made for mobile phone web browsers, primarily for phones with touch screens.
To view and test the prototype, please go to http://web.mit.edu/engiarta/Public/PennyPincher_PROTO/Home.html.
To download a copy of the source code, please go to http://web.mit.edu/engiarta/Public/PennyPincher_PROTO/download_zip.html or go to the settings page of the site.
Please note that the design was implemented with JQuery Mobile and HTML5. It was tested primarily on the iPod Touch and the iPhone.
A portion of the information reflected in the prototype are canned and not consistant; this will be fixed and addressed for the implementation in GR5. Unimplemented pages will be greeted by an "unimplemented" message.
Prototype Navigation
The link given above links you directly to the home page of the prototype. From there, you can use the prototype's navigation buttons (add transaction, view transactions, settings) at the bottom to access and reach any portion of the site that you wish to visit. Remember, the prototype is canned, and there is currently no backend support, so please do not be surprised if you reach an unimplemented page. In terms of viewing the transactions between you and another user, you want to only look at the history between you and "Karen Doe" as her page is fully implemented.
The Add Transaction fields have been pre-populated; please input $60 as your total bill and click Next.
