Project: PennyWise

PennyWise is a desktop application that empowers students with the ability to make sensible financial decisions,helping students to manage their budget. 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.

The following are my contributions to the project:

  • New Feature: Added the ability to summarise financial entries. PRs: #36, #89, #137
    • What it does: summary allow users to summarise all financial entries or monthly entries and obtain total expenses, income and balance.
    • Justification: This feature allows users to view their current budget balance and the amount they have spent/earned in the time period.
  • Feature: Edited the Tag class to have a set of valid tags and limit the number of tags assigned to each entry: PRs #63, #105
    • What it does: Allow users to a maximum of one tag to each entry and entry tags must match one of the valid tags with income and expenditure having different valid tags.
    • Justification: Having one tag to each entry makes simplifies the categorical analysis as it is reliant on the tags to create the pie chart. Having a set of valid tags ensures that users do not add too many tags and diminish the utility that a categorical analysis would provide.
    • Highlights : The implementation made use of Enums and ensure that any additional tag can be added in one step.
