I Built an Anime Tracker That Works Offline (No Backend!)

I got tired of anime tracking apps that need constant internet, so I built my own over a weekend.

It's a simple kanban board (React + Tailwind) that saves everything to localStorage first - works completely offline. You can optionally sync to your own Google Sheet for cloud backup, no backend server needed.

Key thing: your data stays in YOUR browser. If you enable sync, it goes to YOUR spreadsheet, not mine.no tracking, no costs.

Tech: React 18, Vite, localStorage, Google Apps Script (optional)

Try it: https://watchlist.salimuddin.info/
GitHub: https://github.com/salimuddin07/anime-watchlist

Built it for myself as a weekend project. If you find it useful, drop a star on the repo. Found bugs or want features? Open an issue, I respond fast.

What do you think?
