Ask HN: Best task management / issue tracking for solo developer projects?

I've found it sufficient to keep the list of pending tasks as a checklist in README.md or an ISSUES.md file.

I like keeping it right there alongside the code so they stay together.

Maybe GitHub Projects?

> Create issues, break them into tasks, track relationships, add custom fields, and have conversations. Visualize large projects as spreadsheets or boards, and automate everything with code.

I use a variety of things depending on what it is relating to. I usually use Tiddlywiki to organize what I have to do.

If it's programming related, I open Github/Gitlab issues. For smaller prototypes or smaller things I may not have on hosted, I just drop a readme file.

Anything that you will use consistently will suffice. A kanban board and sticky notes is especially stylish
