Todo — Blazing Fast Todo List

Todo is a blazing fast, single-purpose todo list application written in 100% Rust. Built with a high-performance Rust (Axum/Tokio) backend and a WebAssembly (Yew) frontend.

---

Architecture & Stack

• Frontend: Yew (WASM)
• Backend: Axum (Rust) / Tokio
• Deployment: UBI container (Red Hat UBI9) on Docker Hub / Unraid / Podman / Docker Compose

---

Key Features

• Multi-List Tasking: Create and switch between multiple list tasks, or lock to a single list view.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Quick keyboard management for lists and tasks.
• Access PIN Security: Lock down the interface with an optional numerical PIN for absolute privacy.
• Dynamic Themes: Super Metroid UI themes (Crateria, Brinstar, Norfair, Wrecked Ship, Maridia, Tourian).
• Internationalization: Built-in multilingual translation selector support.
• Print Optimization: Customized print stylesheet layout and print header action button.
• Performance First: Tiny resource footprint, zero external JS engine dependencies, and rapid page load speeds.

Deployment & Installation

Container images (Docker Hub)

Images are UBI9-minimal based (Red Hat Universal Base Image). Tags:

Tag	Meaning
latest	Current recommended build
ubi	Explicit UBI image (same lineage as latest)
3.0.21	Immutable release pin

# Pull examples
podman pull docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:latest
podman pull docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:ubi
podman pull docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:3.0.21

Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo

Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following service definition:

services:
 todo:
 image: ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:latest
 container_name: todo
 restart: unless-stopped
 ports:
 - ${PORT:-4403}:4403
 volumes:
 - ${TODO_DATA_PATH:-./data}:/app/data
 environment:
 PORT: 4403
 SITE_TITLE: ${TODO_SITE_TITLE:-Todo}
 TODO_PIN: ${TODO_PIN:-}
 BASE_URL: ${TODO_BASE_URL:-http://localhost:4403}
 ALLOWED_ORIGINS: ${TODO_ALLOWED_ORIGINS:-*}
 TZ: ${TZ:-UTC}
 SINGLE_LIST: ${SINGLE_LIST:-false}
 ENABLE_TRANSLATION: ${ENABLE_TRANSLATION:-false}
 ENABLE_THEMES: ${ENABLE_THEMES:-true}
 ENABLE_PRINT: ${ENABLE_PRINT:-true}
 MAX_ATTEMPTS: ${MAX_ATTEMPTS:-5}

Build the UBI image locally

Requires Podman (or Docker) and network access to pull base images and crates.

# From the repository root
podman build --format docker -f Containerfile.ubi \
 -t docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:3.0.21 \
 -t docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:latest \
 -t docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:ubi \
 .

# Optional: push all three tags
podman push docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:3.0.21
podman push docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:latest
podman push docker.io/ghcr.io/etecoons/todo:ubi
