Bots got a boss now
Show HN: Open-source Cloudflare deployed agent native task management and wiki
A one-click robot work manager drops, and the crowd is split between genius and 'please no'
TLDR: Projektor is a new tool that lets AI coding assistants manage tasks, notes, and teamwork in one cheap, self-hosted setup. The community reaction is the real spectacle: some say it’s a smart next step, while others joke we’ve invented project management hell for robots.
A new Show HN project called Projektor is pitching a wild little dream: a cheap, self-hosted task board and wiki that your coding bot can use directly, all running from a single Cloudflare setup. In plain English, it’s trying to be the place where an AI helper files bugs, moves tickets, plans work, reads notes, and coordinates with other AI helpers without constantly bothering a human. That idea alone was enough to light up the comments.
The strongest reactions fell into two camps. One side basically said, “finally, stop making AI tools pretend to be humans clicking around websites.” They loved the idea of giving bots their own workspace, especially one that’s easy to deploy and cheap to run. The other side hit the brakes hard: do we really need software making plans for other software now? That sparked the classic comment-section drama between people who see a practical tool and people who see the opening scene of an office comedy where robots start running the sprint board.
And yes, the jokes wrote themselves. Commenters leaned into the meme that we’re now building Jira for robots, with some imagining AI agents assigning each other tasks, fighting over files, and leaving passive-aggressive notes in the wiki like tiny digital middle managers. The funniest undercurrent was pure disbelief: humans spent years trying to escape ticket systems, and now we’re proudly building one for machines. Somehow, that made the whole thing even more fascinating.
Key Points
- •Projektor is presented as an open-source issue tracker and wiki designed for AI coding agents to use directly.
- •The system uses MCP as its primary interface for tasks such as filing issues, moving tickets, planning sprints, and searching the wiki.
- •The article says Projektor supports parallel work by multiple agents through an agent registry, file claims, and coordination messages.
- •Projektor is built to run on a single Cloudflare Worker using Hono, D1, KV, and R2, without servers or containers.
- •Deployment is described as configuration-driven, with Wrangler automatically provisioning Cloudflare resources, applying migrations, and deploying the tool.
