Project: Wishful Shrinking

Wishful Shrinking is a desktop application for managing your diet, keeping track of your on-hand ingredients, recipes, as well as the food you’ve eaten (along with their calories). While it has a GUI, most of the user interactions happen using a CLI (Command Line Interface).

Given below are my contributions to the project. These enhancements affect existing commands and commands to be added in future they required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
