UpTask - To-Do List Web App

UpTask is a powerful project and task management web app built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). It allows users to create accounts, manage projects, assign tasks to team members, and track progress all in one place. The app features robust user authentication with JWT, a task delegation system for project managers, and more.

Features

• User Accounts & Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and manage their accounts with features like JWT authentication and a "Forgot Password" functionality.

• Project Management: Users can create and manage projects, assign roles and tasks to different members of the project team.

• Task Delegation: Project managers can delegate tasks to team members, track their progress, and ensure the successful completion of each task.

• Team Collaboration: Assign specific roles to each user and assign tasks based on their roles within the project.

• Progress Tracking: Track overall project progress by monitoring completed and pending tasks.

• Headless UI Components: A user-friendly interface with Headless UI components for a seamless, accessible experience.

• RESTful API: Connects to a backend RESTful API to manage projects, tasks, and user-related operations.
