An open-source Kanban board built specifically for developers — with code snippets inside tasks, GitHub issue sync, and a built-in Pomodoro timer.

DevBoard is a task board made for how developers actually work — track issues, drop in code snippets without leaving the task, pull in GitHub issues automatically, and stay focused with a built-in Pomodoro timer.

• 📋 Drag & Drop Kanban — Move tasks through Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done
• 💻 Code Snippets in Tasks — Attach syntax-highlighted code directly to any task
• 🔗 GitHub Issue Sync — Import issues from a GitHub repo as tasks automatically
• 🍅 Pomodoro Timer — Built-in 25/5 min work-break timer for each task
• 🔐 Auth — Register and log in securely with JWT
• 🌙 Dark Mode UI — Easy on the eyes during long coding sessions --

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• Node.js v18 or higher installed
• A MongoDB database — either a free MongoDB Atlas cluster or a local MongoDB instance

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/devboard.git
cd devboard

This installs dependencies for both the frontend and backend in one step:

npm run install:all

Copy the example environment file and fill in your own values:

cp .env.example server/.env

Then open server/.env and add your MongoDB connection string and a JWT secret.

This starts both the frontend and backend at once:

npm run dev

Once it's running, you can access:

• Frontend: http://localhost:5173
• Backend API: http://localhost:5000

Contributions are very welcome, and this project is friendly to first-time contributors!
