Basic to-do app in Rust, using ratatui GUI

Basic to-do app with ratatui to learn Rust and use crates

If you are learning Rust and you want to see a simplier implementation, I recommend that you look at the v1.0 version (check the "See Also" section at the bottom)
This version implements command-line interaction using the clap crate.
