πŸ“Œ Introduction

Managing daily tasks and notes is essential β€” whether you're a student, developer, or professional.
In this project, I built a Note Keeper App using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s clean, lightweight, and perfect for beginners who want to practice DOM manipulation and event handling.


🧠 What This App Does

The Note Keeper App allows you to:

  • βž• Add new notes/tasks

  • πŸ“‹ Display a list of all tasks

  • πŸ—‘οΈ Delete completed or unwanted notes

It’s built without any frameworks or libraries β€” just pure frontend code!


πŸ”§ Tech Stack

  • HTML5 – To structure the layout

  • CSS3 – For a clean and responsive design

  • JavaScript – To handle task addition, deletion, and DOM interaction


πŸ’‘ Features

  1. Add Notes
    Users can type in a task and hit the Add button. The task is instantly added to the list below.

  2. Delete Notes
    Each task has a Delete button to remove it when completed or no longer needed.

  3. Minimal UI
    The app uses basic styling but looks beautiful and functional for a daily task manager.

πŸ€“ Code Highlights

Here’s a small snippet of how the app adds and removes notes:

javascriptCopyEditconst input = document.querySelector("#noteInput");
const addBtn = document.querySelector("#addBtn");
const noteList = document.querySelector("#noteList");

addBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  if (input.value.trim() === "") return;
  const li = document.createElement("li");
  li.textContent = input.value;
  const delBtn = document.createElement("button");
  delBtn.textContent = "Delete";
  delBtn.onclick = () => li.remove();
  li.appendChild(delBtn);
  noteList.appendChild(li);
  input.value = "";
});

πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ Why I Built This

This was part of my learning journey in frontend development.
I wanted to build a real, functional app using only the basics and this helped me practice:

  • Event listeners

  • DOM manipulation

  • Clean UI design

  • Writing reusable JavaScript logic


πŸš€ What's Next?

Here are some future ideas I plan to add:

  • βœ… Task completion toggle (mark as done)

  • πŸ—‚οΈ Save tasks to localStorage

  • πŸŒ“ Dark mode

  • πŸ“… Due dates or reminders


πŸ’¬ Final Thoughts

If you're just starting in web development, small projects like this are the key to leveling up.
Don’t just follow tutorials β€” build your own version, even if it’s simple.
This Note Keeper App is a great way to get hands-on with real functionality using core web tech.
