In plain English

This is a simple task management web application built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It runs entirely in the browser with no server or backend required, so getting started just means opening a single HTML file. The application lets you add new tasks, edit tasks you have already created, mark tasks as completed, and delete tasks you no longer need. It also includes a filtering feature so you can view specific subsets of your task list, and the interface is designed to be responsive so it works on different screen sizes. Tasks are saved using the browser's local storage, which means your list is still there the next time you open the page, even without an account or a database. The README also mentions optional dark mode support. According to the README, the project was built as a learning exercise, and the author lists the specific skills it was meant to practice: DOM manipulation, event handling, browser local storage, and responsive design. This framing suggests the project is aimed at people learning frontend web development rather than at production use. The README lists a number of features that are planned but not yet built, including user accounts, cloud database integration, task reminder notifications, calendar integration, drag and drop reordering of tasks, and team collaboration support. None of these are present in the current version of the app. To run the project, you clone the repository, open the project folder, and open index.html directly in a browser. No build step, package installation, or configuration is described in the README.
