Hey there nice job for developing this to-do list and it was great just some points that I wanna share with you: make this possible that when the user types the task and wanna add it, she/he be able to add it by the enter keyboard button because it is what most users do change the font color of the task the user types from black to white make the background image full width I think with this points your website gets even much better I hope this comment was helpful

Hi, @RedMwp

I've a few points for you so can improve this and your upcoming solutions.

  • You can comment/remove on the below CSS on your .container class, as it is of no use. Cause you already give the width:100%, your background image will take the full width.
max-width: 1440px;
margin: 0 auto;
  • In the input field when we focus there is an outline around the input which makes the input look a bit odd, you can provide outline: none.

  • As there are no labels for the input you can provide the aria-label attribute to the inputs to pass the HTML Accessibility rules. We should either use label tag if there are labels defined for the input or provide an aria-label attribute. For the plus icon input you can have aria-label="". We must follow the HTML accessibility rules, it'll be helpful for screen readers.

  • On the task's list bottom part, where we have action buttons kind of text. There doesn't seem like a button at first until the user clicks it. Even they don't have the cursor: pointer. Instead of using <li> or <p> tag for them, you should use either a <a> tag or a <button> tag. Having the cursor:pointer, gives the idea to the user that it is clickable thing which will do some action.

  • Also, on click of these bottom actions it makes their colour change, which feels like a link visited. After the color change they also not look nice as they are already on top of dark background color.

  • There is an issue with clicking of the plus icon on the input container, even if the input is empty, if we click it adds an empty task on the list. Instead, you can check the input and show an appropriate error message like "Please fill the task first" or "The field is required"

  • It is nice to know that you used the browser's local storage to keep the user's tasks. But, when we click on Clear completed it sometimes does not clear all the completed tasks.

  • When there is no task in the task list container, there is a default scroll, cause you've used overflow-y: scroll Instead, you can use overflow-y: auto so that the container will have the verticle scroll only when there are a lot of tasks in the list.

Some Ideas

  • As I can see there is a Sun kind of icon on the header, so by using this you can create your solution a theme based so on click it'll switch the theme from dark to light or vice versa. And you can use different styles/icons to show the active theme.
  • You can have a drag-and-drop list so user can set the list by their priority tasks. You can use HTML5 Drag-and-Drop API or any other library for that.
  • You can provide one more button/link to select all the tasks at once. So, users don't need to select each if they want to clear them.

I hope these points will help you and make your upcoming solution more great.

Happy Coding

First and foremost, congratulations on completing this project! It comes with an additional challenge, namely making the to-do items draggable to sort the list dynamically. If you're interested, you can take a look at my approach to implementing this feature using the HTML5 Drag-and-Drop API, which is a part of the HTML5 specification.
