Todo App with Local Storage

Project Overview

Develop a feature-rich todo application that demonstrates modern web development practices. This project focuses on creating a responsive, persistent, and accessible user interface.

User Stories

  1. As a task manager, I want to:

    • Create and organize daily tasks
    • Track task completion status
    • Reorder tasks by priority
    • Access my tasks across sessions
  2. As a keyboard user, I want to:

    • Navigate through tasks using shortcuts
    • Quickly add and edit tasks
    • Mark tasks complete without mouse
    • Filter tasks efficiently
  3. As a mobile user, I want to:

    • Access my todos on any device
    • Have a responsive interface
    • Use touch gestures for actions
    • Maintain consistent data sync

Example Code

interface Todo {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  completed: boolean;
  description?: string;
}

function TodoStorage() {
  const saveTodos = (todos: Todo[]) => {
    localStorage.setItem('todos', JSON.stringify(todos));
  };

  const loadTodos = (): Todo[] => {
    const stored = localStorage.getItem('todos');
    return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : [];
  };

  return { saveTodos, loadTodos };
}
