Project: LoyaltyLift

LoyaltyLift is an application for small business owners to manage customers and their orders to boost customer satisfaction and retention rate. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it 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: Added the ability to bookmark customers with the markc command.
    • What it does: Allows the user to bookmark any customer of the user’s choice.
    • Justification: This feature enabled business owners to bookmark specific customers, if they required special attention on the customer.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affected the Customer class as there was a need to include an attribute to record whether a customer was bookmarked. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to the existing GUI of the application.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to un-bookmark customers with the unmarkc command.
    • What it does: A inverse of the markc command, it allows the user to un-bookmark any customer of the user’s choice.
    • Justification: Business owners can un-bookmark already bookmarked customers, if they no longer required special attention.
    • Highlights: This implementation required changes to the existing GUI of the application.
