Project: NetworkUS

NetworkUS is a desktop app for organizing contacts. It features seamless group management, allowing for quick searches of contacts with desired traits (i.e specialization) and hence project group formation. It is catered for Computer Science Students with fields such as Github and Linkedin. The app is optimized for the Command Line Interface (CLI) to allow swift access for keyboard users. The app is also complemented with Graphical User Interface (GUI) to display the program.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to find persons based on their tags.
    • What it does: allows the user to search for persons based on what they are classified by.
    • Justification: This feature is a main feature of the app, allowing the user to find persons based on their classification and moreover, persons who are capable in what the user requires.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to tag persons more effectively.
    • What it does: allows the user to tag multiple persons directly simultaneously.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can classify a group of persons easily.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives.
  • New Feature: Modified the duplicate detection amongst persons in NetworkUS.
    • What it does: prevents the user from creating multiple duplicate persons.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can make mistakes in adding extra references to the same persons. The app should prevent that from happening.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was difficult as it required changes to existing commands.
