DevBoard Plugin

Hey Developers,

[https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/127376339637423/DevBoard-BETA]

Are you and your dev team running tasks out of Discord DMs, sticky notes, or just vibes? DevBoard is a task board that plugs right into your Roblox Studio workflow. No more Trello, No more Notion, No more tab switching required!

I made DevBoard plugin for Roblox studios who want to stay organised without leaving Studio. Every card, every list, every comment is persistently stored right inside your place file’s ServerStorage and loads right back up every time you open up Studio.

No more confusion about what’s currently being worked on. No more confusion about who’s working on what. DevBoard keeps your entire workflow visible, moving, and in one place.

So, What’s Different About DevBoard?

While other task management solutions are something your team has to remember to check every time you work on a project, DevBoard is right inside your Studio workflow as a native docked widget.

Key Features:

  • Persistent Kanban Board: Build lists and cards that are automatically saved to ServerStorage and load on every session start. Your work is never lost.
  • Card Editor: Click any card to open a rich editor with title, description, colour labels, and a full changelog.
  • Changelog: Every rename and description update is logged as a system message in the card’s comment history.
  • Complete / Incomplete Toggle: Easily mark a task complete with a single click. Complete cards are highlighted green on the Kanban Board.
  • Label System: Assign custom colour-coded labels to your cards to organise your bugs, features, polish tasks, and more.
  • Comment Feed: Team members can comment on your cards with their Roblox avatar, username, and timestamp.
  • Live Sync: The Kanban Board dynamically monitors ServerStorage. If a list or card is updated outside the app, the UI will instantly reflect the changes without a page reload.
  • Custom Background: Change the Kanban Board background to any colour from our palette or insert a Roblox asset ID to load a custom background image.

I made it because I wanted a tool that would let us have our task board without having to look anywhere else except Studio. That tool is now DevBoard.

This Plugin is still in its BETA testing stage and may/will have some bugs!
Got some bugs to report? Just drop em in here or in our server.

This is actually really amazing, very very cool idea I wonder though how do you store information across playtests? datastore?

Yeah exactly that! All the data is stored in the ServerStorage so everything is shared live across the team and data is saved as long as the studio is saved.
And another good thing about saving this in the Server is that any exploiters won’t be able to see any of the upcoming updates or bugs your game may have.

your response being serverstorage is throwing me off a little bit, because changes made in game wont replicate into a new game session unless they are saved into a datastore using roblox’s default datastore apis, or i guess using http requests some third party datastoring service if you’re super ambitious, but the idea being it must be saved outside the roblox experience to be able to referenced back in another play. as I assume you make changes to this while you are in a play test.

There’s no need to play test for this, it’s a plugin for development. This is all done while you’re developing, whether it’s Animation, Scripting or Building; it’s built into the studio, kinda like the toolbox and explorer tabs and won’t have to play test to utilise it. That’s what’s so great about it!

Oh I think I see, this is a plugin that saves during editing actively like using run commands, and saves in the edit so its always available. very very cool. question, do all members in an editing session need the plugin or only one?

Yeah, currently, all players will need to install the plugin to use the board.

This might be bad to use then because it will take longer to get my team to get it

I don’t think that’s bad at all😂. It makes complete sense I mean if a team is actively using studio to make a game then why can’t they take two seconds to install a plugin. At least the way I see it

personally, i don’t use it, but for WAY bigger projects sure..

ok so ur fine with it costing 250 pounds

I’m sorry what? When was 250 pounds ever mentioned or any type of monetary purchase mentioned for this let me know.

I simply stated if the idea is all members need to have this plugin installed to use it that’s fine it shouldn’t be difficult in the slightest to implement just tell everyone in your team to download it.

I checked the model on roblox it says it’s paid

I set it to paid while I was testing it, but should be free. Might need to refresh your page.
