Project Setup and Technologies Used:

In addition, I learned about the importance of proper input validation to prevent errors and improve the user experience. I also learned about the importance of responsive design for a mobile-friendly user interface.
Resources:
I used various resources to help me build this app, including the official documentation of the technologies I used, online tutorials, and stack overflow.
Conclusion:
Splitwise is a simple yet powerful tip splitting app that makes it easy for people to split the bill when dining out with friends or colleagues. Building this app was a great learning experience for me, and I hope that it can help others as well.
