Crewmate: Design and Implementation of Web-Based Task Management System Using React and Vite

Abstract

In modern organizational and academic environments, effective task management and role-based coordination are essential for improving productivity and accountability. This paper presents the design and implementation of Crewmate, a web-based task management system developed using React.js and Vite. The proposed system provides a structured platform that enables administrators to create, assign, and monitor tasks, while employees can view and update task statuses through a user-friendly interface. The application follows a modular and component-based architecture, ensuring maintainability, scalability, and efficient state management. Vite is utilized as the build tool to enhance development speed and optimize application performance. The system demonstrates key functionalities such as role-based dashboards, task categorization, and real-time interface updates, making it suitable for small organizations and academic use. The results indicate that the proposed solution offers a lightweight, responsive, and effective approach to task management using modern frontend web technologies.

Introduction

In fast-paced academic and organizational settings, efficient task management is essential for productivity and accountability. Many existing task management tools are designed for large enterprises and rely on complex backend infrastructures, making them unsuitable for small teams or academic projects. This paper presents Crewmate, a lightweight web-based task management system developed using React.js and Vite, focusing on simplicity, usability, and role-based access without backend dependency.

The system provides separate dashboards for administrators and employees. Administrators can create, assign, and monitor tasks, while employees can view and update task statuses. Client-side technologies such as React Context API and browser LocalStorage are used for state management and data persistence, enabling responsive performance, offline usability, and ease of maintenance. The component-based architecture ensures modularity and scalability for future enhancements.

The methodology includes authentication handling, role detection, dynamic dashboard rendering, and task categorization based on status (new, active, completed, or failed). The user interface is designed with a clean dark theme using Tailwind CSS, featuring scrollable task cards and intuitive navigation. Performance evaluation shows fast load times, smooth interaction, and reliable data persistence. Overall, Crewmate demonstrates how modern frontend frameworks can be effectively used to build a simple, efficient, and scalable task management solution for academic and small organizational environments.

Conclusion

This project achieves a self-contained, efficient, and responsive task management solution using modern frontend technologies. It demonstrates that React and Vite can build production-grade interfaces even without external databases or APIs. The system is ideal for small organizations, personal productivity tracking, or academic demonstrations, highlighting the practical application of React Context API and LocalStorage in real-world projects.
