This is a small proof-of-concept application, a simple todo-list. It is a single page application implemented using:

• Backbone.js
• RequireJS
• Tictail UIKit (based on Boostrap)
• jQuery UI Sortable
• Flask
• MongoDB (using the PyMongo driver)
• Gunicorn

A demo is hosted on Heroku: http://tgwizard-todolist.herokuapp.com/

For Mac OS X, Linux should be similar.

brew install python
brew install mongodb
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Terminal A
mongod

# Terminal B
python app.py # Best for development
# or
gunicorn app:app --error-logfile -
# or
foreman start

• Drag and drop to reorder list items doesn't work on touch devices.
• Reorder doesn't work correctly on Heroku since none of the available MongoDB providers (MongoHQ, MongoLab or MongoSoup) support MongoDB version greater than 2.4.X, and this app makes use the $position operator introduced in 2.6: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/position/
