Building a Custom Kanban Board with React and TypeScript

Most developers use libraries. I built it from scratch. 🚀 I created a fully functional Kanban Board using React + TypeScript — with a custom drag-and-drop system using native browser APIs (no libraries). 🔗 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/g4nAq6D9 🔗 Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gt6nST4d Why this matters 👇 Because real-world performance and control come from understanding how things work under the hood. ✨ What I built: • Custom drag system using Pointer Events (works on mobile + desktop) • High-Performance List View supporting 500+ tasks Custom Virtual Scrolling (implemented from scratch — no react-window or external libraries) • Advanced Sorting by Title, Priority, and Due Date • Smooth card movement with real-time updates • Zustand for scalable state management • Optimized rendering (React.memo + useMemo) Achieved Lighthouse Performance Score of 99/100 🎯 Features: • Drag tasks across columns • Multiple views (Kanban, List, Timeline) • Clean, responsive UI • No layout shift during interactions 💡 Biggest learning: Building without libraries forces you to think like an engineer, not just a developer. #React #FrontendDeveloper #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #OpenToWork #TypeScript #Zustand #LearningInPublic
