GasFillUp

There are many website and apps for managing and handling gas receipts, I wanted to try out something of my own. I have been working on a responsive web application called GasFillUp to track gas receipts and provide a simple report to display the gas usage. Its in beta phase http://gasfillup.azurewebsites.net, all through my way I was cherry picking neat and interesting stuff what others created. Its been a great end to end learning experience. Things to do, implement error handling, email support, more charts, other performance improvements.

This project revolves around one simple use case, one user can have more than one car. The app has three distinct features vehicle info, data entry and dashboard with infographic style report to display the historical gas receipts information. Upon registering, users have to create a profile for the vehicle.

Data entry begins by selecting the car.

Initially the dashboard is empty, when user enter the information into the system the dashboard populates with nice infographics.

The app is built using ASP.NET webforms, plain old ADO.NET, MySQL, Bootstrap for responsive interaction. Currently, the site is hosted with Microsoft Azure and the database is with ClearDB. This hosting platform is free hence you get lot of limitations, its quick way to port a website. Microsoft Azure looks really promising. The source code is hosted with GitHub, clone/fork it here GitHub
