Advanced Features

To add functionalities like task counters, a calendar, and subtasks for a complete experience.

Dark Mode

To include a theme toggle (light/dark) to improve user comfort and visual preference.

Challenges

Drag & Drop

To implement the drag & drop functionality for moving tasks between columns, ensuring a smooth and bug-free experience.

Data Persistence

To simulate a backend, managing all application data (tasks, status, tags) using the browser's `localStorage` API.

Calendar Synchronization

To integrate the dynamic calendar so it reflects existing task dates and allows for quick board filtering.

Dynamic Subtasks

To manage the state and progress of subtasks within each card, including adding, removing, and toggling completion.
