simple-to-do is a simple website for managing your to-do list or task board. It helps you plan activities and keep track of what you need to do. The app uses Python and HTML5 and is built with the Django framework. It focuses on giving you a clear, easy-to-use place to add, edit, and remove tasks. You can organize tasks in a board style, similar to kanban, to view your work visually.
simple-to-do is designed for one person to use. It does not require deep technical skills or knowledge. You only need basic computer skills to run the software on Windows. The app stores your data using SQL. The design uses Tailwind CSS to keep the interface clean and simple.
