"To Do" or "Task Manager" apps seem to be just the most common thing to build after "hello, world." They are simple, easily scoped, something most people can intuitively understand, yet include all the basic features needed for any other app. So you can focus on how to implement rather than understanding what you are building.
Seriously! "Look at my new to do app" is how you say "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" without saying "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" ;)
So what. If we allowed posts from only the most enlightened programmers whose elegant architectural energy allows them to hover 6 inches off the ground HN would be empty.
Condescending much?
I for one think it’s refreshing to see someone just posting a cool project they worked on without it being the next coming of Jesus or some AI-powered/coded nonsense people only pretend to care about so they can feel they are “on top of today’s tech”.
HN nowadays is too LinkedIn-like for comfort, with people posting their larger-than-God projects and humble-brag filled articles.
Kudos to the author of this project.
Never mind the self-appointed greybeards using this as their own little podium. Hope you had fun making it (and learning with it!).
