Introduction

This is the first project I have uploaded to github. It is a simple to-do list created using Java and JavaFX for the user interface. The application is relatively simple in the functions provided, of which these include:

• Adding a new task to the list
• Removing a task from the list
• Marking a task as complete (as well as incomplete)
• The text files read/saved have a specific pattern (task boolean)
  • Reading a text file from a given path (a text file is created if it does not exist)
  • Saving to a text file with a given path (a text file is created if it does not exist)

Possible Improvements

Some improvements which could be added to the program to improve its overall usability and add functionality:

• The option to remember a default path to a text file and displaying this list when opening the program
• Remembering previous paths to files
• Improving the look of the UI to make it more modern
• Incorporating deadlines for tasks
• Instead of opening a dialog for adding a task, the user should be able to click the list and start typing
• Include stylization options for text such as bold, italic and colour
• Have multiple tabs linking to different to-do list files
• Take shortcuts from the user, for instance, the commands ctrl + s would save the file
