# Todo App with GO and HTMX
Goal: make a todo app with minimal reliance on other libraries and frameworks.
I'll assume that it is a single user app so I do not have to worry about concurrent access, high throughput,
etc..
## Plan day 1
- [x] create Go webserver
- [x] create landing page
- [x] import HTMX code
- [x] display todo list
- [x] add tailwind CSS
- [x] show todo list
- [x] let todos be marked completed
- [x] remove todos
- [x] add new todo with form
- [x] persist todos in redis
- [x] spruce up
## Plan day 2
make it use only battery included features
i.e. replace redis with an event driven approach
- [x] modularize app
- [x] replace redis with json stream
- [x] use hashmap for fast individual access
- [x] cache data to avoid reading each time
- [x] create event store
- [x] make events
- [x] implement event store
## Usage tips
### Running the app locally
Install *air* from [cosmtrek/air github repo](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air) with `go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@latest` or use the provided install bash scripts. This tool will watch for changes in the project folder and rebuild and restart the app during development (at least most of the time)
then in the root folder
air
and check for errors. Normally the site will now answer on [port 8080.](http://localhost:8080)
### Updating CSS with tailwind
Just add tailwind tags to the *class* attributes per documentation
then in the root folder:
npx tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./static/output.css --watch
Same deal, it will monitor changes in the templates and regenerate the output.css on the fly.
