What I Built
OfficeTeamBoard is a modern, collaborative Kanban board designed specifically for remote teams. It combines intuitive task management with real-time collaboration features, offering priority-based sorting, customizable workflows, and a mobile-first responsive design.
Key Features:
Live Demo:
Main dashboard showing multi-column Kanban view with priority indicators
Task detail modal with comment system and priority assignment
Mobile-optimized interface with touch-friendly interactions
How I Built It
Tech Stack & Architecture
// Core Dependencies
{
"react": "^18.2.0",
"typescript": "^5.0.0",
"tailwindcss": "^3.3.0",
"zustand": "^4.3.0",
"react-beautiful-dnd": "^13.1.1",
"framer-motion": "^10.12.0",
"react-hook-form": "^7.45.0"
}
Key Technical Decisions
State Management with Zustand:
const useTaskStore = create((set, get) => ({
tasks: [],
columns: defaultColumns,
filters: {},
updateTask: (taskId, updates) => set((state) => ({
tasks: state.tasks.map(task =>
task.id === taskId ? { ...task, ...updates } : task
)
})),
// Optimistic updates for real-time feel
moveTask: (taskId, destinationColumn) => {
const state = get();
// Immediate UI update
set(moveTaskOptimistic(state, taskId, destinationColumn));
// Background sync
syncTaskMove(taskId, destinationColumn);
}
}));
Custom Drag & Drop Implementation:
I chose react-beautiful-dnd for its accessibility features but enhanced it with touch support:
const TouchDragHandler = ({ children, dragHandleProps }) => {
const handleTouchStart = (e) => {
// Prevent default touch behaviors
e.preventDefault();
// Custom touch tracking for mobile
initTouchDrag(e.touches[0]);
};
return (
<div
{...dragHandleProps}
onTouchStart={handleTouchStart}
onTouchMove={handleTouchMove}
onTouchEnd={handleTouchEnd}
>
{children}
</div>
);
};
Performance Optimizations:
Information Hierarchy:
I implemented a clear visual hierarchy using Tailwind's spacing system:
Micro-interactions:
Every interaction provides immediate feedback:
.task-card {
@apply transform transition-all duration-200 hover:scale-105 hover:shadow-lg;
}
.task-card[data-priority="urgent"] {
@apply border-l-4 border-red-500 shadow-red-100;
}
Lessons Learned
1. Accessibility in Drag & Drop Interfaces
Initially, screen readers couldn't navigate the Kanban board effectively. I learned to implement:
Keyboard Navigation:
const useKeyboardDrag = () => {
const handleKeyDown = (e, taskId) => {
if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
toggleDragMode(taskId);
}
if (e.key === 'ArrowRight' && dragMode) {
moveToNextColumn(taskId);
}
};
return { handleKeyDown, dragMode };
};
ARIA Labels for Context:
<div
role="button"
aria-label={`Task: ${task.title}. Priority: ${task.priority}. In ${column.name} column. Press Enter to start moving.`}
aria-describedby={`task-${task.id}-details`}
>
2. Mobile-First Drag & Drop Challenges
Desktop drag & drop doesn't translate directly to touch devices. Key learnings:
Custom Touch Implementation:
const useTouchDrag = () => {
const [isDragging, setIsDragging] = useState(false);
const [dragPreview, setDragPreview] = useState(null);
const startDrag = (e, element) => {
setIsDragging(true);
// Create visual drag preview
const preview = element.cloneNode(true);
preview.style.opacity = '0.8';
preview.style.transform = 'rotate(5deg)';
setDragPreview(preview);
};
};
3. Performance with Large Datasets
Real teams can have hundreds of tasks. I learned to optimize for scale:
Virtual Scrolling Implementation:
const VirtualTaskList = ({ tasks, height = 400 }) => {
const { scrollElementRef, outerRef, innerRef, visibleItems } =
useVirtualScroll({
items: tasks,
itemHeight: 120,
containerHeight: height,
overscan: 5
});
return (
<div ref={outerRef} style={{ height }}>
<div ref={innerRef}>
{visibleItems.map(({ item, index }) => (
<TaskCard key={item.id} task={item} index={index} />
))}
</div>
</div>
);
};
4. Real-time Collaboration Complexity
Implementing live updates without conflicts required careful state management:
Optimistic Updates with Rollback:
const useOptimisticUpdates = () => {
const [pendingUpdates, setPendingUpdates] = useState([]);
const optimisticUpdate = async (updateFn, apiCall) => {
const rollbackData = getCurrentState();
const updateId = generateId();
try {
// Apply optimistic update
updateFn();
setPendingUpdates(prev => [...prev, { id: updateId, rollbackData }]);
// Sync with server
await apiCall();
// Remove from pending on success
setPendingUpdates(prev => prev.filter(u => u.id !== updateId));
} catch (error) {
// Rollback on failure
rollbackToState(rollbackData);
setPendingUpdates(prev => prev.filter(u => u.id !== updateId));
}
};
};
5. User Testing Insights
Testing with actual remote teams revealed surprising UX gaps:
Smart Notification System:
const useSmartNotifications = () => {
const [notifications, setNotifications] = useState([]);
const addNotification = (notification) => {
// Group similar notifications
const similar = notifications.find(n =>
n.type === notification.type &&
n.taskId === notification.taskId
);
if (similar) {
// Update existing notification
updateNotification(similar.id, {
count: (similar.count || 1) + 1,
timestamp: Date.now()
});
} else {
// Add new notification
setNotifications(prev => [...prev, notification]);
}
};
};
Conclusion
Building OfficeTeamBoard taught me that modern web applications require more than just feature completeness - they need thoughtful UX design, performance optimization, and inclusive accessibility. The challenge pushed me to think beyond traditional desktop experiences and consider the full spectrum of user needs and device capabilities.
The live demo showcases how technical excellence and user-centered design can create tools that genuinely improve team productivity. Every interaction, from the satisfying drag animations to the intelligent notification system, contributes to an experience that feels both powerful and approachable.

"framer-motion": "^10.12.0",
"react-hook-form": "^7.45.0"
}
Key Technical Decisions
State Management with Zustand:
const useTaskStore = create((set, get) => ({
tasks: [],
columns: defaultColumns,
filters: {},
updateTask: (taskId, updates) => set((state) => ({
tasks: state.tasks.map(task =>
task.id === taskId ? { ...task, ...updates } : task
)
})),
// Optimistic updates for real-time feel
moveTask: (taskId, destinationColumn) => {
const state = get();
// Immediate UI update
set(moveTaskOptimistic(state, taskId, destinationColumn));
// Background sync
syncTaskMove(taskId, destinationColumn);
}
}));
Custom Drag & Drop Implementation:
I chose react-beautiful-dnd for its accessibility features but enhanced it with touch support:
const TouchDragHandler = ({ children, dragHandleProps }) => {
const handleTouchStart = (e) => {
// Prevent default touch behaviors
e.preventDefault();
// Custom touch tracking for mobile
initTouchDrag(e.touches[0]);
};
return (
<div
{...dragHandleProps}
onTouchStart={handleTouchStart}
onTouchMove={handleTouchMove}
onTouchEnd={handleTouchEnd}
>
{children}
</div>
);
};
Performance Optimizations:
- Virtualized rendering for large task lists using react-window
- Memoized task components with React.memo
- Debounced search with useCallback optimization
- Lazy loading of task comments and attachments
Information Hierarchy:
I implemented a clear visual hierarchy using Tailwind's spacing system:
- Priority indicators use consistent color coding (red=urgent, orange=high, blue=medium, gray=low)
- Card shadows increase with priority level for subconscious recognition
- Typography scales create natural reading patterns
Micro-interactions:
Every interaction provides immediate feedback:
.task-card {
@apply transform transition-all duration-200 hover:scale-105 hover:shadow-lg;
}
.task-card[data-priority="urgent"] {
@apply border-l-4 border-red-500 shadow-red-100;
}

moveToNextColumn(taskId);
}
};
return { handleKeyDown, dragMode };
};
ARIA Labels for Context:
<div
role="button"
aria-label={`Task: ${task.title}. Priority: ${task.priority}. In ${column.name} column. Press Enter to start moving.`}
aria-describedby={`task-${task.id}-details`}
>
2. Mobile-First Drag & Drop Challenges
Desktop drag & drop doesn't translate directly to touch devices. Key learnings:
- Touch Events vs Pointer Events: Pointer events provide better cross-device compatibility
- Visual Feedback: Mobile users need stronger visual cues during drag operations
- Hit Targets: Minimum 44px touch targets for accessibility compliance
Custom Touch Implementation:
const useTouchDrag = () => {
const [isDragging, setIsDragging] = useState(false);
const [dragPreview, setDragPreview] = useState(null);
const startDrag = (e, element) => {
setIsDragging(true);
// Create visual drag preview
const preview = element.cloneNode(true);
preview.style.opacity = '0.8';
preview.style.transform = 'rotate(5deg)';
setDragPreview(preview);
};
};
3. Performance with Large Datasets
Real teams can have hundreds of tasks. I learned to optimize for scale:
Virtual Scrolling Implementation:
const VirtualTaskList = ({ tasks, height = 400 }) => {
const { scrollElementRef, outerRef, innerRef, visibleItems } =
useVirtualScroll({
items: tasks,
itemHeight: 120,
containerHeight: height,
overscan: 5
});
return (
<div ref={outerRef} style={{ height }}>
<div ref={innerRef}>
{visibleItems.map(({ item, index }) => (
<TaskCard key={item.id} task={item} index={index} />
))}
</div>
</div>
);
};
4. Real-time Collaboration Complexity
Implementing live updates without conflicts required careful state management:
Optimistic Updates with Rollback:
const useOptimisticUpdates = () => {
const [pendingUpdates, setPendingUpdates] = useState([]);
const optimisticUpdate = async (updateFn, apiCall) => {
const rollbackData = getCurrentState();
const updateId = generateId();
try {

};
};
5. User Testing Insights
Testing with actual remote teams revealed surprising UX gaps:
- Color Blindness: 8% of users couldn't distinguish priority colors - added icon indicators
- Cognitive Load: Too many options overwhelmed new users - introduced progressive disclosure
- Notification Fatigue: Real-time updates became distracting - added smart notification grouping
Smart Notification System:
const useSmartNotifications = () => {
const [notifications, setNotifications] = useState([]);
const addNotification = (notification) => {
// Group similar notifications
const similar = notifications.find(n =>
n.type === notification.type &&
n.taskId === notification.taskId
);
if (similar) {
// Update existing notification
updateNotification(similar.id, {
count: (similar.count || 1) + 1,
timestamp: Date.now()
});
} else {
// Add new notification
setNotifications(prev => [...prev, notification]);
}
};
};
Conclusion
Building OfficeTeamBoard taught me that modern web applications require more than just feature completeness - they need thoughtful UX design, performance optimization, and inclusive accessibility. The challenge pushed me to think beyond traditional desktop experiences and consider the full spectrum of user needs and device capabilities.
The live demo showcases how technical excellence and user-centered design can create tools that genuinely improve team productivity. Every interaction, from the satisfying drag animations to the intelligent notification system, contributes to an experience that feels both powerful and approachable.

How I Built It
Tech Stack & Architecture
// Core Dependencies
{
"react": "^18.2.0",
"typescript": "^5.0.0",
"tailwindcss": "^3.3.0",
"zustand": "^4.3.0",
"react-beautiful-dnd": "^13.1.1",
"framer-motion": "^10.12.0",
"react-hook-form": "^7.45.0"
}
Key Technical Decisions
State Management with Zustand:
const useTaskStore = create((set, get) => ({
tasks: [],
columns: defaultColumns,
filters: {},
updateTask: (taskId, updates) => set((state) => ({
tasks: state.tasks.map(task =>
task.id === taskId ? { ...task, ...updates } : task
)
})),
// Optimistic updates for real-time feel
moveTask: (taskId, destinationColumn) => {
const state = get();
// Immediate UI update
set(moveTaskOptimistic(state, taskId, destinationColumn));
// Background sync
syncTaskMove(taskId, destinationColumn);
}
}));
Custom Drag & Drop Implementation:
I chose react-beautiful-dnd for its accessibility features but enhanced it with touch support:
const TouchDragHandler = ({ children, dragHandleProps }) => {
const handleTouchStart = (e) => {
// Prevent default touch behaviors
e.preventDefault();
// Custom touch tracking for mobile
initTouchDrag(e.touches[0]);
};
return (
<div
{...dragHandleProps}
onTouchStart={handleTouchStart}
onTouchMove={handleTouchMove}
onTouchEnd={handleTouchEnd}
>
{children}
</div>
);
};
Performance Optimizations:
- Virtualized rendering for large task lists using react-window
- Memoized task components with React.memo
- Debounced search with useCallback optimization
- Lazy loading of task comments and attachments
Information Hierarchy:
I implemented a clear visual hierarchy using Tailwind's spacing system:
- Priority indicators use consistent color coding (red=urgent, orange=high, blue=medium, gray=low)
- Card shadows increase with priority level for subconscious recognition
- Typography scales create natural reading patterns
Micro-interactions:
Every interaction provides immediate feedback:
.task-card {
@apply transform transition-all duration-200 hover:scale-105 hover:shadow-lg;
}
.task-card[data-priority="urgent"] {
@apply border-l-4 border-red-500 shadow-red-100;
}
Lessons Learned
1. Accessibility in Drag & Drop Interfaces
Initially, screen readers couldn't navigate the Kanban board effectively. I learned to implement:
Keyboard Navigation:
const useKeyboardDrag = () => {
const handleKeyDown = (e, taskId) => {
if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
toggleDragMode(taskId);
}
if (e.key === 'ArrowRight' && dragMode) {
moveToNextColumn(taskId);
}
};
return { handleKeyDown, dragMode };
};
ARIA Labels for Context:
<div
role="button"
aria-label={`Task: ${task.title}. Priority: ${task.priority}. In ${column.name} column. Press Enter to start moving.`}
aria-describedby={`task-${task.id}-details`}
>
2. Mobile-First Drag & Drop Challenges
Desktop drag & drop doesn't translate directly to touch devices. Key learnings:
- Touch Events vs Pointer Events: Pointer events provide better cross-device compatibility
- Visual Feedback: Mobile users need stronger visual cues during drag operations
- Hit Targets: Minimum 44px touch targets for accessibility compliance
Custom Touch Implementation:
const useTouchDrag = () => {
const [isDragging, setIsDragging] = useState(false);
const [dragPreview, setDragPreview] = useState(null);
const startDrag = (e, element) => {
setIsDragging(true);
// Create visual drag preview
const preview = element.cloneNode(true);
preview.style.opacity = '0.8';
preview.style.transform = 'rotate(5deg)';
setDragPreview(preview);
};
};
3. Performance with Large Datasets
Real teams can have hundreds of tasks. I learned to optimize for scale:
Virtual Scrolling Implementation:
const VirtualTaskList = ({ tasks, height = 400 }) => {
const { scrollElementRef, outerRef, innerRef, visibleItems } =
useVirtualScroll({
items: tasks,
itemHeight: 120,
containerHeight: height,
overscan: 5
});
return (
<div ref={outerRef} style={{ height }}>
<div ref={innerRef}>
{visibleItems.map(({ item, index }) => (
<TaskCard key={item.id} task={item} index={index} />
))}
</div>
</div>
);
};
4. Real-time Collaboration Complexity
Implementing live updates without conflicts required careful state management:
Optimistic Updates with Rollback:
const useOptimisticUpdates = () => {
const [pendingUpdates, setPendingUpdates] = useState([]);
const optimisticUpdate = async (updateFn, apiCall) => {
const rollbackData = getCurrentState();
const updateId = generateId();
try {
// Apply optimistic update
updateFn();
setPendingUpdates(prev => [...prev, { id: updateId, rollbackData }]);
// Sync with server
await apiCall();
// Remove from pending on success
setPendingUpdates(prev => prev.filter(u => u.id !== updateId));
} catch (error) {
// Rollback on failure
rollbackToState(rollbackData);
setPendingUpdates(prev => prev.filter(u => u.id !== updateId));
}
};
};

updateNotification(similar.id, {

timestamp: Date.now()
});
} else {
// Add new notification
setNotifications(prev => [...prev, notification]);
}
};
};
