This appears to be an ultra-primitive todo-app targeting gullible people, semi-cleverly asking them for their email address in order to make some money.

Edit: I want to apologize and believe this is sincere.

hey chupa-chups, built this as a small project(in the first two days of the year) to help myself with keeping up with new year goals. So thought maybe there are definitely others who will benefit from it!

Well, I'd like to apologize in this case. Provided you don't sell the collected email addresses ;-)

Ofc not. I was trying out different tech. Setup the tech using Surge for frontend, node + mongo on ec2 as backend while sendgrid to send out mail. Looking for suggestions to improve tech stack.

Sounds interesting. Would be interested in a post detailing the tech stack.
