A collaborative task board app built with Specific, demonstrating how to go from zero to a full-stack production app using a single infrastructure config file.

Features

• Kanban board with drag-and-drop between columns
• Google OAuth authentication
• Real-time sync across clients via ElectricSQL
• File attachments with S3-compatible storage
• Background thumbnail generation via Temporal workflows

Tech stack

• Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
• Backend: Go
• Database: Postgres (via Neon) with Reshape migrations
• Real-time: ElectricSQL
• Storage: S3-compatible (Tigris)
• Background jobs: Temporal
• Infrastructure: Specific

Getting started

Install the Specific CLI:

curl -fsSL https://specific.dev/install.sh | sh

You'll need Google OAuth credentials for authentication. Create a Google Cloud OAuth client and have the client ID and secret ready. Specific will prompt you for them on the first run.

Start the dev environment:

specific dev

This starts all services (frontend, API, worker), a local Postgres database, ElectricSQL sync engine, S3-compatible storage, and a Temporal dev server.
