+# Todo App Frontend
+
+This is a standalone Node.js server that serves the Todo application's web interface.
+
+## Standalone Setup
+1. Clone this repository.
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+3. Start the server:
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   ```
+   The frontend runs on port `3000` by default.
+
+## Connecting to Backend
+The frontend needs to know where the Backend API is hosted.
+- **Development**: Defaults to `http://localhost:3001`.
+- **Production**: Set the `BACKEND_URL` environment variable when starting the server.
+  ```bash
+  BACKEND_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com npm start
+  ```
+
+## Deployment
+- **Docker**:
+  ```bash
+  docker build -t todo-frontend .
+  docker run -p 3000:3000 -e BACKEND_URL=https://your-api.com todo-frontend
+  ```
+
+## Repository Independence
+This repository is completely separate from the backend repository. It communicates with the backend exclusively via HTTP calls to the `BACKEND_URL`.
