Project: ProductiveNUS

ProductiveNUS is a desktop application targeted at Computing students of National University of Singapore (NUS) to help them manage and schedule their academic tasks efficiently. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to suggest a possible start time and end time to work assignments.
    • What it does: allows the user to provide the estimated time to complete assignments and the period that the user want to work on them. A possible suggested time slot within the period will be generated for the user.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user may have many assignments and can rely on the app to generate a possible working schedule.
    • Highlights: This enhancement and its implementation require an in-depth analysis of scheduling algorithm.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to undo previous commands.
    • What it does: allows the user to undo all previous commands one at a time.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can make mistakes in commands and the app should provide a convenient way to rectify them.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives.

  • GUI: Redesigned and implemented the GUI.
