Project: SoConnect

SoConnect is a desktop app for SoC students to manage contacts of Professors and Teaching Assistants, as well as to keep track of noteworthy events, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

This project is part of the CS2103T team project requirements for AY2021/2022 Semester 1.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

New Feature: Added the ability to mark contacts and events.
- What it does: allows the user to mark one or more contacts / events at a time. The marked contacts / events will appear at the top of the contact / event list.
- Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it saves the user time from having to scroll through the list or using the find command to find contacts / events that they use frequently and the app should provide a convenient way for users to refer to them.
- Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives.
New Feature: Added ability to unmark contacts and events.
- What it does: allows the users to unmark one or more marked contacts / events at a time. The newly unmarked contacts / events will appear after all marked contacts / events in the list.
- Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it allows the user to keep the number of marked contacts / events small and unmark contacts / events they no longer reference frequently, saving them time from having to look through a long list of marked contacts / events.
- Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives.

New Feature: Added ability to search contacts / events based on other fields
- What it does: allows the users to search for contacts / events based on other fields other than the the contact / event name.
- Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it gives users more freedom in how they search for contacts / events. For example, they can for search for an event based on its location or description.
- Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
New Feature: Added ability to list only certain fields of events
- What it does: allows the users to only list certain types of fields of each event.
- Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it allows user to focus on certain fields of events they are interested in instead of looking at the entire list.
- Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
