The application is great but you illustrate perfectly what the web development is becoming, tens of files for just 3 features (add, edit, complete)

Exactly. I initially thought it was satire. A dozen external libraries and a special package manager to build something that can be written with equivalent functionality in 10 lines of bash.

I don't exactly get why this is posted here. It seems like OP did this for the sake of his own learning, and that's well and good. But this is not a particularly interesting project and doesn't do anything novel.

I think you're correct: "I built to learn about progressive webapps or PWA"

What is a "progressive" web app? Serious question! EDIT: Thanks for the explanations!

Google's marketing term for websites that use Service Workers in a manner that allows the site to function while offline. The sites also have to publish a Manifest file with metadata like icons and a start URL to be considered a "PWA."

Before reading, I thought it was going to be an approach to todo lists, but it's merely "progressive" in the "progressive enhancement" sense.

It's essentially a sample app for the offline-first approach to application design.

Modern web development is turning into the bloated mess of enterprise java we tried to abandon in 1999.

The first time I saw this things I thought: well, Java programmers are coming to web development ...

There're too many over engineering that call itself "simple" .

It is called "simple, easy and intuitive UI". It is the ultimate dream of every designer and product manager. Please go back to your cave to brush bits and bytes in assembly.

I get the heated response to the comment, but I'm not sure you can state this is "the ultimate dream of every designer and product manager". It is very simple and easy, but there are a lot of features missing (swipe left to undo for example).

Also, don't hate the bits & bytes in assembly, some HN readers read assembly and write bit operations on a daily basis. Those who write UIs in assembly are probably masochists. :)
