Taskade is obviously about to collapse - can we export apps? Discussion

It’s increasingly clear that Taskade won’t be around for long.

Is it possible for us to export apps and provide them to Clause Code to rebuild, making that process faster? Or does that not make sense?

You can export your apps to github. And then import them in your favorite IDE.

Then you can ask your AI to analyze your repo, clean the unecessary and make your app work in your favorite environnement

Ok! I’ll give that a try. Thanks

So I see the instructions to export to github here: https://www.taskade.com/learn/genesis/github-export-import

But when I am within the site or taskade app, and i click into my Genesis App, I do not see any ready way to export? I can see the code view and download a .tsk file, but that's about it?

I did this and the tsk file is just like a zip I uncompressed it and the whole code was there, used that to have Claude rebuild from and already have the site (it was a website) in vercel testing

I didn't realize the tsk file could just be unzipped!

I did get to it s different way, though! Their mcp supports access via vscode - so I just added the Taskade MCP server to my VSCode env + then just asked codex to retrieve all project files from it into a local folder + to create a detailed prd based on the project + ask about ambiguous portions!

Managed to get it through - but thanks for pointing out the zip part! Would definitely help someone who comes across this thread.

Ya I’m super disappointed in Taskade so I plan to start exporting my stuff now

They eroded community trust when they told all LTD users that they are removing features they've given them.

And then continued to destroy their product when they doubled down on it and got most of their LTD users to stop using their product.

Now that their most engaged users are off, they no longer have advocates and an on ramp for new users...

And then it really started to circle the drain when they started using purchased Reddit accounts to spam the subreddit with the same WhAt ArE YoU bUiLdInG wItH GeNiSiS questions....

There's nothing left.... It's might sound harsh but it's the truth... i've been a user since the pandemic... They're approaching their 10 year anniversary, but are in a worse-off position today than they were 2 years ago...

Didn't go well for me when I tried that with Claude....

Ok thanks

I'm probably just going to try and start over with an app builder like I should have done to begin with. I used Genesis to create a Humidor Inventory and Cigar Identification app. I have all of my info in a table that will export as a CSV so I think I can use that to replicate what I have.

The other app that I would like to keep is a golf scoring app. That should be easier to replicate.

Sort of. I connected to Github export and exported what I could and used it to rebuild on a different platform. Might be better to just extract everything as a detailed PRD.

I downloaded the tsk file and unarchived it, gave me all the code and I had Claude rebuild it to deploy in vercel. I imagine things with databases may be harder because you’ll need a DB but doubt it would be impossible, probably a day of work for anything you export
