Building a TodoApp with Wasp - a DSL for building web apps
summary
Wasp is a small DSL that compiles to pure React and Node.js and claims 10x less code for full‑stack apps. The demo scaffolds a TodoApp with email/password auth (passwords hashed), Prisma data models, wasp CLI and wasp db migrate‑dev, and a backend action + query pattern that generates frontend functions and live updates. Project stats show ~200 projects, ~11 contributors and Y Combinator winter ’21 backing. The demo runs end‑to‑end: migrations, Prisma Studio inspection, create/list tasks all work.
