DragTrack - A Kanban Board for Drag and Drop

DragTrack is a simple Kanban board that allows you to drag and drop tasks between columns. It is built using:

• React
• DnD-Kit
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• Framer-Motion
• Lucide Icons (for the icons)

👾 Features

• Drag and drop containers.
• Delete containers and items.
• Edit container and item names.
• Drag and drop items between containers.
• Add containers and items (both are draggable).
• Indication of which container you are editing items in.

📒 Process

I started by implementing the functionality for creating containers. Next, I added the ability to drag and drop containers. Afterwards, I focused on the capability to create items inside containers and further, to drag and drop them.

Then I styled the board, drawing inspiration from modern Kanban boards like Jira, Trello, and Notion based on my experience.

Subsequently, I added functionalities for deleting items and containers. I then implemented the ability to edit the names of containers and items. Lastly, I added an indication of which container you are editing items in. Afterward, I performed some small refactoring and styling touch-ups.

Some features were added in between the main features development. Everything is saved in local storage. The user can come back, and everything will still be there.

NOTE: The project's purpose is to demonstrate the use of DnD-Kit and TypeScript. It is not meant to be a full-fledged Kanban board.
