The Take

Uses a smart, file-first approach — every task lives as markdown/json in a project folder so agents and humans can both read and mutate state. The recursive canvas + draggable, resizable cards is a familiar mental model, but the per-task Claude Code sessions and automatic terminal prompts are the standout: it treats LLM context as a first-class part of the workflow. Missing obvious collaboration/sync features, but as a local, agent-aware planning tool it scratches a very specific itch.

Post Description

Hi HN,

I'm working on getting a new startup off the ground that has a lot of moving pieces, components, and product areas and I was starting to struggle with seeing how far along everything was.

I decided to build this as a way to help me visually see where things are with my product, and as a way to connect specific tasks with specific Claude Code sessions.

Key features:

- No telemetry - Tasks are displayed as draggable, resizable cards on a recursive canvas - Tasks can have subtasks, markdown plan docs, open & resolved questions, and its own dedicated Claude Code process - The terminal tab automatically prompts Claude with context from the task - All data is stored locally as text files in a {project}/productmap directory, in a human (and agent) readable format

The README includes a screen-capture that illustrates how it looks with a full project.

Built using SvelteKit and Electron.
