Spec-Driven Todo Application

Full-Stack AI-Generated with Phase II Completion

Production-ready full-stack task management system demonstrating specification-driven development methodology. Phase II completion featuring Next.js 16 frontend with React 19, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS 4 glassmorphism UI, and FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL (Neon Serverless). 100% AI-generated using Claude Code and Spec-Kit Plus - not a single line manually written. Features secure JWT authentication, complete CRUD operations, task filtering, profile management, modern stats dashboard, and responsive design. Follows constitution-first approach with clean architecture patterns.

tradeoffs

Engineering challenges

  • Keeping the implementation clear enough to explain while still solving the core technical problem.
  • Choosing a scope that could be shipped, tested, and documented.
  • Turning technical work into proof a visitor can evaluate quickly.
