Developer Series — Project Management App
Build a complete, production-ready Project Management App from scratch. Each tutorial adds one capability, building on the previous — by the end you have a fully functional team task manager with roles, workflows, relations, file uploads, and server-side automation.
Audience: Developers working in VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Kiro, or Antigravity connected to a Buildpad cloud backend.
Time: ~30 minutes per tutorial, 4–5 hours total.
Methodology: All tutorials follow the 6-phase development approach — each phase produces working, tested software before moving to the next.
Follow these tutorials in order — each one builds directly on the previous. Start with Tutorial 1: Your First App if this is your first time.
What You’ll Build
A task management application where teams can:
- Create projects and assign tasks with priorities and due dates
- Control who can view, create, edit, or delete tasks using roles
- Move tasks through a workflow (To-Do → In Progress → In Review → Done)
- Link tasks to projects and tag them for filtering
- Attach files and images to tasks
- Automatically validate and notify on data changes
