      # - NODE_ENV=development # default production (development allows all origins)
    #healthcheck:
    #  test: wget --spider -q  http://127.0.0.1:3000

Storage

Todos are stored in a JSON file at app/data/todos.json. The file is automatically created when you first run the application.

To backup your todos, simply copy the data directory. To restore, place your backup todos.json in the data directory.

Development

The application follows the "Dumb" design system principles:

• No complex storage
• Single purpose, done well
• "It just works"

This is meant to be a simple application. If you're writing complex code to solve a simple problem, you're probably doing it wrong. Keep it dumb, keep it simple.
