Wtf does this do

This repository is a simple to-do list application that connects an Angular front-end to Appwrite, an open-source backend service. The app lets users create, track, and check off tasks in a clean interface. You can try a live demo directly in your browser without installing anything, which makes it a quick way to see how these two technologies work together. At a high level, the app is split into two parts. The front-end is what users see and interact with, built using Angular. The back-end, powered by Appwrite, handles data storage and user accounts. To set it up, you deploy Appwrite, register your website as a trusted connection, and create a "collection" in Appwrite to store the to-do items. That collection holds two pieces of information per task: the text content and a true/false flag for whether it is complete. Permissions are configured so only logged-in users can access the data. This project is aimed at developers or technical founders who are learning how to build full-stack applications. It is a template or reference example, not a production-ready product. Someone new to Appwrite could use this code to understand how to wire up authentication and a basic database to a web interface, using it as a starting point for their own ideas. The README also mentions a gamified element: someone left hidden "easter eggs" in the code, and contributors who find and clean them up can earn swag. The deployment process is straightforward, with one-click options for hosting platforms like Vercel, Netlify, and DigitalOcean, or the ability to run it locally using standard command-line tools.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
Help me set up Appwrite locally and create a collection with two fields, a text field for task content and a boolean field for completion status, matching the structure used in this Angular to-do app.
Prompt 2
Walk me through registering my local Angular development server as a trusted website in Appwrite so the to-do app can connect securely.
Prompt 3
Using this Angular to-do app as a template, help me add a new field to the Appwrite collection for task priority and update the Angular front-end to display and filter by it.
