Build a JavaScript to-do app in a 2d interface, enabling adding and removing todos with left and right clicks, and implement storage since the project currently has none.
Set up a todo app by creating a folder, opening it in VSCode, and building index.html with boilerplate, a form and input, plus a todos ul for live preview.
Create a style.css, link it to index.html, reset margins with a universal selector and box-sizing, center the app with flexbox, and style the header, form, and inputs.
Style the todo app with CSS by centering the input, setting width, and defining focus color; apply small tag styling and margins for a final look before adding JavaScript functionality.
Add JavaScript functionality to power the to-do app by linking app.js, selecting form and input elements with querySelector, and appending new items to the todos list on submit.
Add a click-to-toggle line-through on todos by applying a completed class, and enable right-click to remove items with a context menu, preparing for local storage in the next video.
Add local storage support to a JavaScript todo application by creating an update function that saves todos to local storage using JSON.stringify and prepares retrieval.
Update and fix local storage handling for the todo app, ensuring boolean completion values persist on click, and switching from stringify to parse to retrieve todos from storage.
