Make the Todo App Anyway
They’ll tell you not to make a todo app. “It’s been done.” “It’s boring.” “It won’t go viral.” Ignore them. The todo app isn’t the product. You are. You’re learning CRUD. You’re wiring up a database. You’re firing neurons that weren’t firing before. You’re figuring out how inputs become records, how records become UI, and how UI becomes behavior. The point isn’t to ship the next Notion. The point is to level up. Haters don’t get it. But you will.
