So, who are you doing it for? If the purpose of the project is to teach yourself a thing, and you succeed, who cares how high the pile is. Compare yourself to yourself, be proud it!

The aim was to learn the framework. I was super excited about the end result and just wanted to share with others, thinking that it could be useful for others also.

I guess that's a choice you'll have to make - thing is, with a TODO list app, it may be exciting to you but it might not necessarily be exciting to others, simply because there are so many already. I kinda split my own side projects into two categories: there's things I build to increase my own understanding, and then there's things I build because I think the world needs one. For me, a TODO list app is totally worthwhile, but I'd only put it in the first category.

That said, every domain has room to innovate.

Well said, thanks for the help.

Implementing it in a new way can be appealing to others also, not just me.

I agree with all this.

Go ahead and build the TODO. I think it's actually pretty cool that there is a sort of standard for this sort of thing
