Why can I see {{todo. name}} in my UI and not the editable text?

Following the Angular tutorial and feel like I am understanding most of it. I am pretty frustrated with the fact that I can't make the expression {{todo.name}} be replaced by the changeable text.

This was also true in the code challenge. Even though I passed the challenge on the first try, when I previewed it, the {{todo.name}} was showing, not the editable item.

Could this be a browser issue? Or maybe something in a different file that I messed up?

I am not sure what code to attach. I'll try my index html for starters....

html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Angular Project</title>
  <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link href='styles/main.css' rel='stylesheet' type="text/css">
</head>
<body ng-app="todoListApp">

  <div ng-controller="mainCtrl" class="list">
   <h1 ng-click="helloWorld()">My TODOs</h1>
    <input ng-model="todo.completed" type="checkbox"/>
  <label ng-hide="editing" class="editing-label"  ng-click="helloWorld()">{{todo.name}}</label>
  <input ng-show="editing" ng-model="todo.name" class="editing=label" type="text"/>
  </div>
  <div class="actions" >
<a href=""ng-click="editing = !editing">edit</a>
<a href=""ng-click="helloWorld()">save</a>
<a href="" class="delete">delete</a>
  </div>

  <script src="vendor/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="scripts/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

As I can see in console (pressing Ctrl + Shift + J) files angular.js and app.js had not been created for this challenge. Just do not pay attention on this right now, you made everything right ;)
