Core Features

Drag-and-Drop Kanban Boards

Native HTML5 drag-and-drop implementation for managing todos across three columns (To Do, In Progress, Done) with project-specific filtering and searchable project selector.

Project Management

Full CRUD operations for projects with detailed case studies, image galleries, tech stack documentation, and featured project highlighting on the public portfolio.

Time Tracking

Built-in timer for tracking billable and non-billable hours with project association, task descriptions, and export capabilities for invoicing.

Client Management

Centralized customer database with contact details, project history, notes system, and status tracking for active, inactive, and prospect clients.

JWT Authentication

Secure token-based authentication with HTTP-only cookies, password hashing, protected routes, and automatic session management.

Implementation Highlights

❌ Challenge

Needed efficient drag-and-drop for Kanban boards without adding heavy dependencies

✅ Solution

Implemented native HTML5 Drag and Drop API with React state management for zero bundle size impact and native browser performance

Code Example

Before:

// Could have used react-beautiful-dnd (heavy library)
import { DragDropContext, Droppable, Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';

After:

// Native HTML5 - Zero dependencies
const handleDragStart = (e: React.DragEvent, todo: Todo) => {
  setDraggedTodo(todo)
  e.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move'
}

const handleDrop = (e: React.DragEvent, newStatus: string) => {
  e.preventDefault()
  if (!draggedTodo) return

  const updatedTodo = { ...draggedTodo, status: newStatus }
  await updateTodo(updatedTodo)
}
