👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m excited to share Backlog.md - a minimal task system that lives inside your repo. It started from frustration: AI tools (like Claude, Codex or Jules) work best with clear context and structured tasks - but traditional tools (Notion, Linear, GitHub Projects) live outside the codebase. So I built a lightweight backlog system based on small markdown files easy to write, version, and feed to your AI. ✨ What you get: 📁 Tasks as markdown files in your repo 🧠 CLI designed for AI Agents (Claude, Codex, Jules, etc.) 🧭 Terminal Kanban board (backlog board) 🌐 Beautiful web UI (backlog browser) ✅ MIT-licensed, offline-first, zero vendor lock-in 🤖 AI instructions for out-of-the-box support for Claude, Codex, Jules and Copilot It’s already helping me hit 95%+ task success with Claude Code. I built Backlog.md using Backlog.md. Check it out, and let me know what features would make Backlog.md fit your flow even better. Feedback, issues, and stars are super welcome. Thanks for checking it out & happy hacking! 🙌🚀 — Alex (aka the human behind Backlog.md)
