UI Design Of A Kanban Application
Introduction
The objective was to design a Kanban application targeted for use on the web. Since it would be used in a browser, the app must be usable on mobile, tablet and desktop (Responsive Design).
Motivation
(a) For Me
It’s a combination of wanting an extra app in my portfolio and wanting to use Bootstrap in an application. I observed that many people posted freelance jobs related to Bootstrap therefore I wanted to dip my feet into it.
(b) For User(s)
Kanban users love their kanban applications because they help them visualize project progress and status.
Inspiration
The colors and design of components was influenced by Bootstrap, while the layout was influenced by two posts I found on dribbble. You can find those posts here:
