Task Management App
A collaborative task management application inspired by Trello. Features drag-and-drop boards, real-time updates with websockets.
About the Project
Project Overview
Inspired by tools like Trello and Asana, this application focuses on real-time collaboration for task management. The core feature is the drag-and-drop interface for managing tasks between different stages of a workflow.
Challenges
The primary technical challenge was implementing real-time updates. WebSockets were implemented using Socket.IO to ensure that all changes, like moving a task card, are broadcast to all connected clients instantly without needing a page refresh.
Technology Used
The frontend was built with React, while the backend is a Node.js/Express server. MongoDB was used for the database to provide a flexible data structure for tasks and boards. Socket.IO handled the real-time websocket communication.
Outcome
The final product is a highly interactive and collaborative tool that allows teams to manage their projects effectively. The real-time functionality provides a seamless experience for users working on the same board.
