A small application with a complete user workflow
TodoList is a Python Flask application that connects authentication to a practical task-management workflow. Users sign in, create notes, revise or remove them, and mark work complete. A profile dashboard summarizes total, completed and pending notes, making the task state understandable beyond an individual checkbox.
The scope is deliberately compact. A small task application is useful portfolio evidence when it shows the relationship between identity, data ownership, persistence and UI feedback. Those responsibilities are easier to inspect here than in a larger application with many unrelated features.
Server-rendered interface and JSON endpoints
The public README describes Flask-Login, Flask-SQLAlchemy and SQLite, with Jinja2 templates and Tailwind CSS delivered through a CDN. Route blueprints, services, templates and models are organized separately. A small JSON API supports listing notes and other note-management operations.
SQLite keeps local setup simple. The repository documents environment configuration and a pytest suite, with GitHub Actions running tests across multiple Python versions. Source code and setup instructions provide a direct way to review the routes and run the application locally.
A comparison point for Fullstack interviews
This project provides a useful contrast to a React dashboard backed by a separate Java API. Server-rendered forms can solve a focused workflow with fewer client-side moving parts, while a larger management system has different interaction and integration needs. Comparing these approaches makes the choice of stack a concrete engineering discussion.
