AI To Do List

Turn any goal written in natural language into a structured, actionable to-do list. Powered by OpenAI.

Progress

Project restructured into a single directory layout
Frontend UI finished: gradient header, glassmorphism card with textarea, static character counter, “Generate Plan” button, hidden loading/error/dashboard sections
server.js - Express server, serves /docs, exposes GET /api/health
package.json - scripts start / dev, deps: express, dotenv, openai
.env.example - template for PORT and OPENAI_API_KEY
.gitignore - protects .env and node_modules/
docs/style.css - dark theme, gradients, glass cards, responsive
GitHub Pages previews the UI from docs/

No AI yet - that comes next.

Goal

Remove the “where do I start?” problem. A user types any goal - “build a portfolio website”, “prepare for a C++ exam”, “organize a birthday party” - and gets back a concrete, ordered list of tasks with priorities, time estimates, and dependencies.

The AI must not just rephrase the goal. It must decompose it into specific, actionable steps.
