Requires setting up an Appwrite instance and configuring a database collection with specific fields before the frontend can connect.
This is a simple to-do list app built with Svelte (a tool for building web interfaces) and Appwrite (a service that handles the behind-the-scenes work like storing data and managing user logins). The app lets you create, track, and check off your daily tasks. It serves as a practical, hands-on example showing how a Svelte frontend can talk to an Appwrite backend, and there is a live demo you can try right in your browser. To understand how it works, think of the app in two parts. The Svelte part is what you see and interact with, the visual to-do list itself. Appwrite acts as the brain behind the scenes, storing your tasks in a database and making sure only registered users can access their own lists. To connect the two, you set up a database "collection" in Appwrite with specific fields for the task content and its completion status. Then, you link the frontend to the backend by plugging in a few configuration details like your project ID and web address. This project is aimed at developers or technical founders who are learning how to connect a web frontend to a backend service. If you are exploring Appwrite as a potential backend for your own application but want to see it in action before committing, this gives you a fully working starting point. You can deploy it to hosting platforms like Vercel or Netlify with a one-click setup, or run it on your own computer to poke around the code. There is also a gamified element to the project. The maintainers mention that some hidden "easter eggs" were left in the code, and they invite contributors to find and clean them up by submitting changes. The first 15 people to successfully do so earn some branded merchandise. If you get stuck during setup, they offer support through their Discord community.
