Overview
A collaborative task and project management application with boards, deadlines, and team workflows. Built with React, Node.js, MongoDB.
The Problem
Small teams often outgrow a plain to-do list before they need the overhead of a full enterprise project management suite.
The Approach
- Built a Node.js and MongoDB backend for storing boards, tasks, deadlines, and team membership.
- Built a React frontend for board-based task organization and team collaboration.
- Modeled deadlines and team workflows directly rather than treating them as metadata bolted onto a generic task list.
Key Engineering Decisions
Architecture
MERN-style split — React client, Node.js API, MongoDB for flexible document storage of boards and tasks.
Collaboration
Boards and team workflows are first-class, not an afterthought added to a single-user task list.
What I Learned
Board-based structure maps naturally onto how small teams actually think about work in progress versus done.
