Kanban Task Management App

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I’m most proud of turning this challenge into a full-stack application rather than keeping it purely frontend.

The original Frontend Mentor challenge focused on building the UI, but I decided to extend it by developing a complete .NET Web API backend, designing a relational database structure, and implementing full CRUD functionality. Instead of using static JSON data, the app now persists real data through API calls, making it behave like a production-ready application.

I’m particularly proud of:

Designing the database relationships (Boards → Columns → Tasks → Subtasks)

Connecting Angular to a real backend

Managing dynamic state updates when dragging tasks between columns

Structuring the project in a clean and scalable way

This project helped me better understand how frontend and backend systems communicate and how to structure a real-world application beyond just UI implementation.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

If I were to rebuild this project, I would:

• Add automated tests (unit + integration tests)
• Implement authentication and user roles
