Merges rebuild the app and serve it on his home network, and the AI texts him on Telegram when it has a question or when work is done. He uses the app daily and files features as issues, which are handled within a couple of hours.

We replaced ClickUp with our own tracker. 1,630 tasks moved.
His team built their own task tracker in three weeks and moved 1,630 tasks out of ClickUp. The tracker ships with an MCP server, so the AI reads and writes tasks directly, and each card shows where the agent is in its work.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
