That's not an app.
TL;DR: Use styled checkboxes in a form.

#22These exercises will be a lot more fruitful to read through if the author can acknowledge the contrived nature of these attempts and provide a real-world advantageous use case of the techniques outlined
I guess it’s similar to code golfing. It can be interesting to try to get as far as possible with an extreme restriction.

#23Now we just need someone to write a frontend framework that compiles down to CSS.

#24I know a lot of people hate JavaScript, but is HTML+CSS really a more pleasant programming approach? The "solution" seems worse than the problem.

Yeah, that would be a pretty basic feature.
I get that he is just showing of some ´out-of-the-box' thinking. But really, it is not something practical.
In the end, he made a TODO-Layout, not a TODO-App. Interesting experiment I suppose, if you are into frontend stuff

My guess it's just a hack to show HTML+CSS are enough to do it without a real programming language.

I don't think he needs to acknowledge how contrived his solution might be or provide a real-world use case. The article very well could be taken as inspiration to approach problems from different angles.
Oh like pure academic exercises..
Javascript-free golf.
How complex of a web app can you make without using javascript.

It's just a proof of concept to show what's possible

Indeed. It's clearly not meant to be a realistic or recommended approach. It's a practice of lateral thinking, an experiment to see how much of a problem you can solve with limited set of tools. It's easy to throw in every library, framework, technology at a problem, and they might not be necessary. Sometimes approaching a problem from this unusual perspective can yield good solutions. Often times, it's messy and hacky, but in either case you learn a lot along the way.
