• React - JS library

What I learned

I planned to use Material Theme UI for the checkbox and todo cards but I decided to write my own components which am proud of because of the feel of the UI I built. With state management, Redux seemed like overkill for this small app so I used the context api for managing the state of checkbox and todo components as well as the theme (dark and light) properties.
