Project: CoLAB

CoLAB (Collaboration Lab) is a desktop app for university students to manage their school projects. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added add & delete todo/deadline/event commands.
    • What it does: This feature allows the user to add or delete a todo/deadline/event to/from a project.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly as it is a core part of the application.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging because it involved the index of the project and the todo/deadline/event within the project as well as thinking through the implementation of todo/deadline/event models.
  • New Feature: Added mark todo/deadline commands.
    • What it does: This feature allows the user to mark a todo/deadline in a project as done.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly as it is a core part of the application.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging because it involved thinking through the implementation of todo/deadline models as well as considering the implications of having a todo/deadline marked as done within the context of a project.
  • New Feature: Added the ability for events to repeat weekly.
    • What it does: This feature allows the user to create an event that repeats weekly with a specified start date and start time.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly as it is a core part of the application.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging because it involved thinking through the implementation of the event model.
