[ 01 / The Challenge ]

Understanding the Problem & Core Constraints

KanbanTrell is a collaborative task organizer that mimics physical boards. Users can create projects, add column lists, and drag tasks across states, with real-time multiplayer updates powered by Supabase.

Key Constraint

Preventing screen flickering or cursor lag when dragging multiple cards across columns under heavy server payloads.

[ 02 / The Solution ]

Architectural Decisions & Core Implementation

Implemented Optimistic UI Updates inside TanStack Query to immediately move cards locally, reverting changes only if the server returns an error.

[ Performance & Results ]
1.

Immediate UI drag response (0ms latency)

2.

Real-time database sync in under 120ms

3.

Handles thousands of active boards
