🚀 Feature Request: Add Interactive Drag-and-Drop Kanban Board

Problem Statement

TaskForge aims to provide a modern and intuitive project management experience, but the current task management workflow does not mention support for visual task organization through a Kanban board.

Many project management platforms such as Trello, Jira, and ClickUp allow users to manage tasks using drag-and-drop boards, making it easier to track task progress and improve team productivity.

Proposed Solution

Implement a fully interactive Kanban Board that allows users to:

• Create customizable workflow columns (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Review, Done)
• Drag and drop tasks between columns
• Update task status automatically when moved
• Display task priority, assignee, and due date on cards
• Support responsive design for desktop and mobile devices
• Persist board state using backend APIs or local storage

Benefits

✅ Improves user experience and task visibility

✅ Enables faster project tracking

✅ Aligns with modern project management standards

✅ Enhances team collaboration and workflow management

✅ Supports future roadmap features such as analytics and real-time collaboration

Suggested Implementation

• Use a drag-and-drop library such as:

  • react-beautiful-dnd
  • @dnd-kit/core

• Create reusable components:

  • Board
  • Column
  • Task Card

• Integrate with existing task management services

• Add loading and error states for better UX

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can drag tasks between columns
• Task status updates correctly
• Changes persist after page refresh
• Mobile responsiveness is maintained
• UI follows TaskForge design principles
• Performance remains smooth with large task lists

Additional Notes

This feature would significantly improve TaskForge's project management capabilities and provide a more visual and efficient workflow experience for teams of all sizes.
