The todo app isn’t meant to be inspiring, it’s basically the “hello world”/fibonacci/word count for web UI stuff, tightly coupled to benchmarking, and even more tightly coupled to demonstrating DX to the already-familiar. It’s basically a way to present any given solution’s trampoline to get started doing something real. To the extent it fails at that, it’s probably because it’s already doing way too much, not too little.
