Overview

The To-Do List App is a web application designed to help users manage their tasks efficiently. As a software engineer, this project aims to enhance my skills in building full-stack applications using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. The app allows users to add, view, and delete tasks with a simple and intuitive interface.

To start a test server on your computer, run the following commands:

1. npm install
2. npm run start

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the first page of the app.

The purpose of writing this software is to practice building a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application and to gain experience with backend and frontend integration.
