Project: HustleBook

HustleBook is a desktop app specially catered towards financial advisors for managing client details and scheduling meetings efficiently without the need to lift their hands off the keyboard. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 12 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to schedule and cancel meetings with clients through meet command.
    • What it does: Allows the user to schedule a meeting date and time with a client. Users can also cancel meetings with the client.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the user has to schedule meetings with clients and more often than not, clients cancel meetings on them.
    • Highlights: This enhancement is useful as other meeting details can be added through the meet command. As of now, it supports scheduling and cancelling meetings. Furthermore, there is also a prevention measure to ensure that no two meetings clash.
  • New Feature: Added previous date met field for clients.
    • What it does: Allows the user to track the previous date they met up with their clients.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the user would benefit by keeping a close bond with their clients. This ensures that they do not neglect any of their clients.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future as the add and edit command now has to support this new field. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands and considerations of default values.
  • New Feature: Added info field for clients.
    • What it does: Allows the user to track clients’ information.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the user would need to keep track of their client’s info such as their financial goals and interest. Since different client might have different types of information to track, all these can be tracked in Info field.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future as the add and edit command now has to support this new field. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands and considerations of default values.
  • New Feature: Added scheduled meeting field for clients.
    • What it does: Allows the user to keep track of meetings that they scheduled with their clients.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the user can now keep track of their meetings with each client.
    • Highlights: This enhancement goes together with the meet command to ensure that each client’s meetings are tracked.
