WarmDesk is a self-hosted project management tool built for software teams that want to own their own data. It covers Kanban boards, Scrum sprints, team chat (including one-to-one voice/video and group video calls), customer management, time tracking, and Git integration — all in a single statically-linked Go binary.
This project started as an experiment: can a fully-featured application be built almost entirely with AI assistance?
Almost every line of code was generated by Claude Code and Cursor, guided by a detailed what.md specification file.
The result is a ~30,000 line Go backend and a ~30,000 line Vue 3 frontend that actually works.

|---|---|
Backend | Go 1.26, Gin, GORM, SQLite / PostgreSQL / MySQL |
Frontend | Vue 3.5, Vite 8, Pinia 3, Vue Router 5, vue-i18n 11 |
