TODOx

TODOx is a todo list app built with Go, HTMX, Tailwind CSS and SQLite to store the data. The original goal of this app is to try HTMX and see how it can be used to build a simple app.

Features

  • Create, Read, Update, and Delete TODOs
  • Searching TODOs
  • Complete/Reopen TODOs

Stack

The stack aims to be as simple as possible. It consists of:

  • Go is the main language.
  • Gomponents to render our HTML on the server.
  • HTMX for the interactions with the user.
  • Tailwind CSS for styling (CDN).
  • SQLite as the database.

Architecture

The application is mostly written in Go and HTML. HTMX facilitates a lot of the interaction with the user on the frontend and the backend endpoints process requests and return HTML served by Go into the client side. The storage of the application is a shiny SQLite database.
