Project: IntelliJournal

IntelliJournal is a desktop contacts/journal management application designed for businesspersons to keep track of their contacts information as well as their meetings with them. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 15 kLoC. The project is developed based on a previous project named AddressBook Level 3.

Given below are my contributions to the project:

  • New Feature: Support command alias (alias command)
    • What it does: Allow user to type faster after being familiar with the system with an alias to existing command.
    • Justification: This feature improves the user experience by not forcing user to type out the full command when they are familiar with the system.
  • New Feature: Support delete alias (release command)
    • What it does: Allow user to delete an alias that is set previously.
  • Backend Work: Maintain model to support multiple feature that Logic component uses.
    • What it does: Support methods that logic component needs to use in Model interface to maintain a good abstraction.
  • Backend Work: Support storage for command alias
    • What it does: Store the preference of user’s alias as json so that the system can keep the customized alias for users.
    • Justification: This work is important because it allows user to use command alias more naturally.
