🚀 Why I Built This

This app was born out of the desire to:

Build a complete web app from scratch using Flask

Learn about routing, form handling, and templating with Jinja2

Create a satisfying user experience that adds a fun twist to productivity

Unlike most to-do list apps that sync to the cloud, this project focuses on local-only simplicity — ideal for beginners or quick personal use.

🔧 Technologies Used

Python 3 – Backend logic

Flask – Web framework

HTML5 + Jinja2 – Template rendering

Bootstrap 5 – Layout, responsiveness, and form components

Font Awesome – Icons for delete and check functionality

CSS3 – Custom styling

🏗️ How It Works

Your task list is stored in a simple Python list (todo_list[]) in memory. Each task is a dictionary:

{"task": "Buy groceries", "done": False}

When a user submits a new task, it’s added to the list.

Checking a task toggles its 'done' state.

Deleting removes the task from the list.

All changes are reflected instantly and only for the current session.

⚠️ Note: The data is not saved permanently. It disappears when the server restarts.
