Reactive Task Manager

A minimal task manager built in vanilla JavaScript to explore state-driven UI rendering without frameworks.

The Project

A minimal task management application built with vanilla JavaScript to explore state-driven UI rendering without relying on frontend frameworks.

The project focuses on implementing reactive interface patterns manually by maintaining a centralized application state and deriving the UI directly from it. Instead of using abstractions provided by libraries like React, the goal was to better understand how modern frontend systems work under the hood.

I implemented local persistence, conditional rendering, and state-based DOM updates while keeping the architecture lightweight and framework-free.

Key points

  • Centralized application state management
  • State-driven UI rendering without frameworks
  • Reactive DOM updates based on state changes
  • LocalStorage persistence across sessions
  • Conditional UI rendering patterns
  • Lightweight architecture using vanilla JavaScript
  • Exploration of framework-like frontend concepts
  • FOUC mitigation and perceived performance improvements
