Kanban Board with Next.js
Introduction
I built a Kanban Board Web Application using Next.js and Prisma. This project represents my exploration into modern web technologies, focusing on performance, usability, and a clean development process.
Key Features
My Kanban board project includes several core features designed to enhance user experience:
- Task Visualization: Users can see tasks categorized by stages like “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.”
- Drag and Drop: A smooth drag-and-drop interface allows tasks to be easily moved between stages.
- User Authentication: While not fully implemented, there’s potential integration with Clerk.js for secure user authentication.
Technology Stack
The project is built using a modern and robust tech stack:
- Frontend: Developed with Next.js and React for a seamless, responsive user interface.
- Animations: Framer Motion is used to add fluid transitions and interactions.
- Database: Prisma and MongoDB serves as the database access layer, providing a simple and powerful way to interact with the database.
- Styling: Tailwind CSS ensures the app looks polished and is easy to style.
- Development Tools: ESLint and TypeScript are integrated to maintain code quality and reliability.

Conclusion
This project was an exciting opportunity to dive deeper into full-stack development, particularly with Next.js and Prisma. The combination of a sleek user interface and a powerful backend has resulted in a tool that’s both functional and user-friendly. I’m excited to continue expanding on this project, including adding user authentication and other features that can make the Kanban board even more powerful.
