Create a Note Keeper App: Step-by-Step Guide Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript


π 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. Itβs clean, lightweight, and perfect for beginners who want to practice DOM manipulation and event handling.
π§ What This App Does
The Note Keeper App allows you to:
β Add new notes/tasks
π Display a list of all tasks
ποΈ Delete completed or unwanted notes
Itβs built without any frameworks or libraries β just pure frontend code!
π§ Tech Stack
HTML5 β To structure the layout
CSS3 β For a clean and responsive design
JavaScript β To handle task addition, deletion, and DOM interaction
π‘ Features
Add Notes
Users can type in a task and hit the Add button. The task is instantly added to the list below.Delete Notes
Each task has a Delete button to remove it when completed or no longer needed.Minimal UI
The app uses basic styling but looks beautiful and functional for a daily task manager.

π€ Code Highlights
Hereβs 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 = "";
});
πββοΈ 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
π What's Next?
Here are some future ideas I plan to add:
β Task completion toggle (mark as done)
ποΈ Save tasks to localStorage
π Dark mode
π Due dates or reminders
π¬ Final Thoughts
If you're just starting in web development, small projects like this are the key to leveling up.
Donβt just follow tutorials β build your own version, even if itβs simple.
This Note Keeper App is a great way to get hands-on with real functionality using core web tech.
