Project: Waddle

Waddle is a simple, no-frills travel planning application catered to people who love doing everything on their keyboards.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Add an export to PDF command.
    • What it does: This command allows users to export the itinerary they have planned into an offline PDF document.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly as users usually travel with other people, hence there is most likely a need to share itinerary with others. This feature allows users to have an offline PDF document to send to their travel buddies.
    • Highlights: The implementation was challenging as it involved incorporating external libraries to our project, and it was necessary to look through the heavy documentation to implement this feature.
    • Credits: This feature heavily relies on Apache PDFBox

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link
