Research direction

Start by reading client/src/components/Board/KanbanBoard.jsx to see how the board renders its columns and accesses task data. Done means a section below the board shows up to three completed tasks, ordered by most recently updated, with their titles struck through.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue

Add "Recently Closed" section below done column 📋

File: client/src/components/Board/KanbanBoard.jsx

Done tasks just pile up with no way to
see which ones were RECENTLY closed 💀 fr!!

Fix:
const recentDone = tasks
.filter(t => t.status === 'done')
.sort((a, b) => new Date(b.updatedAt) - new Date(a.updatedAt))
.slice(0, 3)

// show below board:
{recentDone.length > 0 && (

✅ Recently completed

{recentDone.map(t => (

{t.title}

))} )}

~12 lines! updatedAt exists in MongoDB ✅
No backend needed 🎯
