Case Study

Problem

Keep personal and team work in one place, without one team's tasks leaking into another team's view.

Constraints

  • Authenticated access with personal vs. team visibility
  • Assignments, priorities, due dates, subtasks, progress, archives, and activity history must stay consistent

Decisions

  • Vanilla JavaScript frontend with an Express / MongoDB / Mongoose backend and JWT
  • Backend-enforced ownership and team boundaries, not frontend-only hiding

Outcome

A team can run assignments end-to-end in the demo, with ownership and team boundaries enforced by the backend. No measured real-world outcome is claimed here.

Demo limits

Browser-local demo API and sample team data in the portfolio version; no real accounts or production data.

Next step

Real-time updates and a clearer archive / restore flow.
