Wanted to use python to build this just for fun but then I realised that using bash would be more flexible So Nlanders, join me on this journey any suggestions or ideas are welcomed.

PS
Am using termux terminal on Android to build this.

First thing first. Where to store what to do? Since this is a simple Todo app we wouldn't be storing it in any kind of relational database like MySQL or sqllite etc. We'll be using simple ".txt" file. though I might change to ".Json" format later? I think that would be more flexible.

For now this is the code I have.

After lots of thinking and well for flexibility, I decided to go with Json text format that way I can access data easily.

I also have to define data that would be needed for the Todo list. Honestly I don forget watin Todo list suppose to day do o

Now the logic for storing the task in Json. I did my research and discovered that I can use a tool called "Jo" to process data to JSON format. So....

pkg install jo

The logic for storing the data in the Json file is in the picture below.

We could test this logic by adding some data Todo in the Json file.

./todo add "Go to the supermarket"

./todo add "Take friend out to the mall"

The processed output look something like this.
