Project: Big Brother

Big Brother is a desktop address book application for HR managers in startups to maintain and update employee details. It is optimised for use via a CLI, but also 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: Revamped the in-app help feature.

  • What it does: displays the format and usage of all commands, or the command specified to the user.
  • Justification: This feature improves user experience significantly because a user can now learn about all valid commands, or the command specified, without having to navigate to a separate webpage.
  • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future minimally. The implementation was not too challenging, but tedious as it required changes to existing commands.
  • Credits: {mention here if you reused any code/ideas from elsewhere or if a third-party library is heavily used in the feature so that a reader can make a more accurate judgement of how much effort went into the feature}
