Web-based TODO app in Reason + Melange

The motivation of this project is to learn Reason + Melange ecosystem, basically Reason-based web development. There will be lots of extra/unnecessary shit in this repo due to the nature of this project being just a Reason experimentation.

For example, CSS styles are implemented in multiple different ways in order to learn both ReasonReact inline styles and very cool styled-ppx. Similarly, backend is kept very basic. Lots of stuff has been implemented manually for learning purposes. The architecture of the backend is hugely inspired by Ocoi
