Managing daily tasks can be tricky without a proper system. That’s why I created a basic To-Do List web app using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this post, I’ll walk you through the idea behind the project, what it offers, and how others can use or improve it.

Project Overview
The aim was to build a lightweight and functional task manager where users can:
- Add new tasks
- Mark tasks as complete
- Delete tasks they no longer need
All of this is handled entirely in the browser, no server or database needed.
Tech Stack
- HTML – to structure the webpage
- CSS – for visual design and layout
- JavaScript – to manage interactivity and logic
Key Features
- Task Input – Users can type in a task and add it with a button click.
- Task List – Newly added tasks appear in a list format.
- Mark as Done – Tasks can be marked complete with a single click.
- Delete Option – Unwanted tasks can be removed easily.
- Responsive Design – The layout adjusts for different screen sizes (mobile and desktop).
Folder Structure
The project is simple, with only three main files:
- An HTML file for layout
- A CSS file for styling
- A JavaScript file for functionality
Future Improvements
This is a solid starting point, but here are a few ideas to take it further:
- Add local storage support so tasks stay after a page refresh.
- Include task editing to update existing entries.
- Add filters (e.g., show only completed tasks).
- Implement a dark mode toggle.
Final Thoughts
This project helped reinforce important front-end development concepts like DOM manipulation and responsive design. It’s a perfect beginner project and also a great portfolio piece to show off basic web skills.
