UTasks

UTasks

UTasks is a Todoist clone, meant for testing purposes, like trying different test automation tools and techniques or just manually test the app instead of relying on some online apps "that may changes over time and make your test automation scripts fails" or "you simply don't have a way to try some advanced test automation techniques, weird scenarios or some test automation best practices"

😉 Features

• A simple feature-rich website but a bit tricky to work with.
• Simple & easy to set up and run in your local machine or deploy it publicly
• A unique identifier data-testid for mostly all of the fields in the app
• Doesn't require a lot of knowledge to set it up "Just a Google Account and Nodejs"
• Created using Create React App as Frontend and Firestore as Backend

🦾 Usage
