Build a Web-Based Kanban Board with Real-Time Sync

Managing projects visually through boards and cards boosts productivity. However, without real-time synchronization, collaborative work can feel disconnected. A web-based, real-time Kanban system solves this, enabling dynamic team collaboration and instant project updates.

Develop a lightweight web application where users create projects, add columns (To-Do, In Progress, Done), add tasks/cards, assign team members, and drag/drop cards — all synchronized instantly across all connected users using WebSocket technology.

Users sign up, create new boards, add columns (like 'To-Do', 'In Progress', 'Completed'), add tasks, and assign them. Changes like moving a task to another column or editing a task are reflected in real-time across all connected team members.

• Create new project boards and customize columns based on workflow needs.
• Add tasks/cards with descriptions, due dates, assignees, labels, and priorities.
• Move cards across columns by drag-and-drop, automatically updating backend states.
• All updates are broadcast in real-time to other users via WebSocket connections.
• Optional: Commenting inside cards, notifications for updates, and due date reminders.
