The Beginning

It’s late 2020, and it is time for me to have an online presence. To embark on this journey I needed to set myself some challenging goals and stick to the routine. As a start off, I have set myself on building a personal project based to-do list app like “Microsoft planner” but certainly as a starter with few viable features. To add a twist, I have limited myself to do this project entirely on mobile. One may ask why mobile, I want to design it all from scratch and do the development in a new environment other than Windows, VS Code.

To start with I need to find a way to version control my project, push it to Github repository and finally deploy it online on services like Heroku or Vercel. The first thing which will come in handy is Termux for Android, it is a full-blown Terminal emulator, and has the capability of installing packages. It opens up the possibility of installing GIT, Node and NPM. With NPM installed comes the advantage of installing CLI for Heroku and Vercel etc.

The project I am about to set my foot on should have all the ingredients of a web app. I want to start with HTML, CSS and vanilla Javascript (i.e. I intended not to use any libraries for this project). The plan is to start with the data structure and build the app around it.

I will be updating the progress on this write up as I progress and who may know I may end up writing more articles in the coming future. So stay tuned for an exciting thing to come forth.
