What it is
TaskPhase is a task board application inspired by tools like Trello, built as a learning-focused project to explore more complex user interactions and frontend architecture.
Why I built it
I wanted to build something that went beyond static CRUD screens and required careful handling of user-driven state changes. In particular, I was interested in implementing reliable drag-and-drop behaviour and understanding how UI interactions, application state, and persistence fit together in a real project.
I also used this project as an opportunity to write meaningful unit tests and get more comfortable testing stateful frontend logic.
Technical highlights
- Drag-and-drop task and column reordering with predictable state updates
- Local-first data model with clear separation of concerns
- Unit tests covering core state and interaction logic
- Designed to be iterated on rather than treated as a one-off demo
Future work
The current version is single-user and local-first. A future goal for the project is to introduce a hosted backend to support collaborative boards and shared state across users.
