I keep getting this error message for my last line of code: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
addItemButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
let li = document.createElement('li');
li.textContent = addItemInput.value;
ul.appendChild('li');
addItemInput.value = ' ';
});

But one issue that stands out is that variable names should never be enclosed in quotes:
ul.appendChild(li); // not 'li'
