Perhaps it wasn't OP's intention to make the most elegant Todo application, but rather learn a a new set of tools while creating an application (s)he's rather familiar with?

Then again I actually have no idea.

You could easily write a VERY simple Todo application with the three features you mentioned (add, edit, complete) using an HTML file and some Javascript.

At first glance, I don't suspect OP is trying to create the best Todo application of all time.

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.

OP here! You guessed right, I wanted to make a simple application with all the modern tooling available out there. My main objective was to learn :)
