Feature Request: Customizable Job Tracker Dashboard Lanes

Description

Currently, our Job Tracker dashboard offers predefined lanes such as "Wishlist", "Applied," "Interview," and "Rejected." To enhance user flexibility and accommodate a broader range of workflow preferences, we should introduce the functionality to allow users to create and customize their own custom lanes.

Context

Customizable lanes can provide several advantages:

• Tailored Workflows: Users can adapt the Job Tracker dashboard to match their specific job application workflow, whether it includes stages like "Offer Received," "Negotiating," or other custom steps.

• Improved Organization: Custom lanes allow for better organization and categorization of applications based on users' preferences and the complexity of their job search.

• Enhanced User Experience: Empowering users to create custom lanes can significantly improve the usability and overall satisfaction with our application.

Proposed Solution

To implement this feature, we should consider the following:

1. UI/UX Design: Design an intuitive user interface that enables users to create, edit, and manage custom lanes. This interface should seamlessly integrate with the existing Job Tracker dashboard.

2. Backend Changes: Modify the backend to support the creation, deletion, and management of custom lanes. Each custom lane should be associated with a user's profile.

3. Data Model: Create a data model that allows users to associate applications with custom lanes.

4. Frontend Integration: Integrate the custom lane functionality into the Job Tracker dashboard, allowing users to drag and drop applications between custom lanes.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can create, edit, and delete custom lanes according to their workflow preferences.
• Custom lanes are displayed alongside predefined lanes in the Job Tracker dashboard.
• Users can easily move applications between custom and predefined lanes.

Dependencies

This feature may require changes to the backend, frontend, and database components of our application.

Not sure how the complexity would increase but i think we can keep this on hold till we finish up all the basic drag and drops and working cards
