I am not very familiar with JS but doesn't loading a framework externally kind of defeat the purpose?

Op here: you can’t do it with plain js Plus it’s ok to use frameworks according to the tweet

My version is even shorter and has a closing -tag and even -tags for the swag:

  new TodoApp({});

It's obviously just a concept and doesn't work yet (example.com, durr!) but it's in the same spirit. It only relies on a general purpose todo app library. Default options of course! (Which fortunately make it mount on body)

Care to elaborate? There are some nifty tricks when it comes to golfing JS.

I wouldn't say so, since it's a general purpose framework. In most languages you use a framework to build GUI applications. Working with the DOM in pure JS is pretty verbose.

its very "on brand" for a js code golf submission to include a js webframework. kinda funny

It’s done for the challenge :)
