TaskFlow is a production-ready, fully containerized task management platform designed for teams that need clear separation between administrative control and end-user task workflows. Built on a Node.js microservices architecture, it provides JWT-based authentication, role-based access control, real-time email notifications, and two dedicated React frontends — one for administrators and one for end users.

What TaskFlow does

TaskFlow gives you two separate interfaces backed by a common API:
  • User Interface (port 5173) — End users log in, create tasks, track progress, and view their dashboard
  • Admin Dashboard (port 3000) — Administrators verify users, assign tasks, manage the full task list, and monitor completion
All traffic flows through a single API Gateway on port 5000, which routes requests to the appropriate backend microservice.

​
Key features

Task lifecycle management

Create, update, and delete tasks with status tracking (pending, in-progress, completed), priority levels, and due dates

Role-based access control

JWT authentication with admin and user roles — admins see all tasks, users see only their own

User verification workflow

New users start unverified. Admins must verify accounts before users can create or interact with tasks

Email notifications

Automated email alerts via EmailJS when an admin marks a task as completed
