Project: HackAssist

HackAssist is a desktop address book and task management application used for managing tasks and team formations in software development Hackathons. During such hectic projects, managing various tasks together as a team is definitely no easy feat. With HackAssist, we aim to take away the boring and often stressful administrative matters, so that you can focus on the things that truly matter!

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Created models for task and task list, and integrated them into the application.
    • What it does: allows tasks and task commands to be created and implemented respectively.
    • Justification: This feature provides a baseline foundation for the team to build on for future task commands.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of all possible class designs, without breaking the usability of existing features related to person.
    • Credits: Inspiration was taken from how a person is modelled in the application.
    • Pull requests: #43, #44, #54
  • New Feature: Added the ability to filter tasks by deadline.

    • Pull request: #84
  • New Feature: Added the ability to find tasks using keywords.
