I'm actually having some success now with the
> I buy a domain name → I set up a bug tracker → I spec out a bunch of tasks → I let Claude Code do the coding
Seems more sustainable to me than working a full-time job coding, then adding another coding side project. Nice change of pace to just be describing what I want my app to do (during my work day), then letting Claude Code buzz away while I do my day job.
how are you managing keeping up to date wiht the tasks and update to tasks. What bug tracker do you use.. do you mean jira??
I use Linear - it integrates with GitHub so that when PRs go in the status moves to shipped. I spec the linear tasks out, copy the generated git branch name and make a branch on my computer (auto moves to in progress status); copy paste the contents as markdown to Claude code, have it do its thing, then push up the code to a PR and review it/run CI. If alls good merge it in and then the status moves to shipped automatically.
Since otherwise this is a solo side project I don’t need anything more complex than that, though I also use Linear for my day job and so I know you can automate it more if you need to.
Jira is working for me via atlassian MCP.
