todo-cli

i wanna get good at go since typescript uses it :)

📝 Go CLI To-Do List

📌 Project Overview

This is a simple command-line To-Do List application written in Go.
The goal of this project is to explore Go as a language while building a useful tool.

It covers:

• Structs and JSON serialization
• File handling for data persistence
• Command-line arguments processing
• Basic concurrency concepts (can be extended)

Features

• Add tasks with optional due dates
• Support for natural language dates (e.g. tomorrow, in 3 days, fri)
• Mark tasks as complete
• Edit due dates after creation
• Delete or clear tasks
• Search by keyword
• Reset/delete the entire task database
• Color-coded task listing (due, overdue, complete)
