🚀 Just wrapped up an intense and incredibly fun Full-Stack Take-Home Assignment for Flodo AI!

I was tasked with building a complete Task Management Dashboard from scratch, and I decided to go all-in on both the architecture and the UI/UX. It was a great experience balancing complex state management with a premium, futuristic design.

Here’s a breakdown of what I built using Flutter (Frontend) and Python/FastAPI (Backend):

✨ Premium UI/UX: Designed a custom Glassmorphism interface layered over a Vanta.js 3D animated background to give it that sleek, modern AI-startup feel. 🔒 Task Dependencies: Implemented a 'Blocked By' logic where dependent tasks visually grey out and lock until the parent task is marked as "Done". 🔍 Debounced Autocomplete Search: Built a custom search bar with a 300ms debounce to optimize API calls, complete with real-time dynamic text highlighting for matching queries. 💾 Draft Preservation: Leveraged Riverpod for state management to ensure that if a user accidentally closes the 'New Task' modal, their unsaved text is preserved as a draft. ⏳ Simulated Latency Handling: Engineered a 2-second non-blocking delay for CRUD operations with smooth loading states and double-tap prevention.

A huge thanks to the team at Flodo AI for putting together such a well-thought-out and challenging assignment. It really pushed me to optimize my API calls and rethink how to handle complex widget states elegantly!
