The Challenge
To improve team productivity, I built a real-time task management tool. The key requirement was instant synchronization of state across all connected clients.
Approach
Vue.js was selected for its reactive data model. Firebase Firestore provided the real-time backend. We used Pinia for global state management. Drag-and-drop functionality for the Kanban board was implemented using a lightweight library tailored for Vue.
Roadblocks & Solutions
Handling conflict resolution when two users edit the same task simultaneously was complex. We relied on Firestore's transactional capabilities and optimistic UI updates to ensure a smooth user experience even with network latency.
The Outcome
The app is used daily by a small team of developers. The real-time updates have eliminated the need for manual refreshing and reduced communication overhead.
