Project: Taskify

Taskify is a desktop task management application for university students. Using Taskify, students can manage all their tasks (academics/personal/CCAs) effectively and seamlessly. 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 track and modify the Status of a Task
    • What it does: Allows the user to view the Status of a Task. A Status comes in the form of expired, completed and uncompleted.
    • Justification: This is a fundamental feature as users need to be able to track and mark the statuses of their tasks as completed or uncompleted.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to view Tasks based on the Task’s Deadline.
    • What it does: Allows the user to show Tasks that have the same Deadline as the specified Deadline.
    • Justification: This is feature is important as users can get a better idea of which Tasks to perform first by viewing the Tasks based on their Deadline.
    • Highlights: This feature also introduced shortcut keywords such as today and tomorrow for the convenience of the user.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Enhancement: Adding a Task without specifying the Date defaults to the current Date.
    • What it does: If an add command does not specify the Date, the newly added Task will have a default Date of today’s date.
    • Justification: This feature acts as a shortcut for the user as they can quickly specify a Task that is due today without typing out the entire Date.
