Project: ForYourInterest

ForYourInterest - ForYourInterest is a desktop app for managing members in university clubs/societies, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added more functionalities to the clear command
    • What it does: allows the user to clear the elements they want (persons/events) in a specific range that they want.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can delete multiple entries at once using a single clear command instead of using multiple delete commands.
    • Highlights: This enhancement suggests the use of flags to differentiate commands operating on the member or event list. This feature was initially planned to delete entries before/after a certain date but was later discarded due to lack of time for proper development. I was able to come up with a version of clear that provides a sensible improvement in user experience.
  • New Feature: Added functionality in the Storage component to store the event list in a Json format
    • What it does: allows the user to save the event list of the program in a Json format. This help the user retain the event list for later use of the program.
    • Justification: Since the product has a new addition - the event, it is logical to configure the Storage component to store this data.
    • Highlights: This feature touched many components (model, ui, Storage involved). I have to make sure that the saved file in Json format works well (mitigate as many bugs as possible) with the iteration of the product at the time of development. Also this feature requires a thorough understanding of the Storage component.
