The challenge
Mellifera is a simple, focused TODO app for daily tasks and checklists, with a clean interface and light and dark mode. It stays minimal on the surface, but it runs on a real, well-structured backend.
Most todo apps are either front-end demos with no real backend, or bloated productivity suites. The goal was a genuinely useful task manager that stays simple to use, built on a solid full-stack foundation that could grow: a real API, a real database and clean state management.
The approach
- A fast React and Vite front end with React Router and a component-based architecture, styled with Tailwind and supporting light and dark mode.
- State handled cleanly with the Context API, talking to the backend over a RESTful API.
- A dedicated NestJS API (TypeScript) for tasks, checklists and progress tracking, with priority levels.
- Prisma ORM over PostgreSQL for a type-safe, structured data layer.
- Separation of concerns: the UI and the API are independent and deployable on their own.
