Programs & Tools to plan and organize private projects. What do you use?

[Pl45m4]

Hey guys,

as the title states, I'm wondering what kind of tools do you use to manage your thoughts and ideas for your private projects.
Any suggestions?!

For small(er) projects and when you know where it is heading, you probably don't need any :)
But for mediocre and larger projects and when you don't have the time to invest every single minute of your free time in your projet, one can lose the track very easily :))
And, the classic

// ToDo: Fix that bug
void SomeFunction(...)
{
     // ToDo: Maybe rewrite this later?!
     Foo->Bar();
}

comments are not really helping ;-))
Especially once they are all over the code :P

Let me know what you think/what you are using.
Open for any suggestions regarding tools, software + strategies :)

(I'm not talking about the "professional" way... like any bloated "ticket system" or something)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Some of my colleagues are speaking highly of Obsidian. It might be worth taking a look at.
Otherwise, Trello might be an option as well (or one of its alternative).

Hi, yes, I know Trello Boards from my studies :) But it was used for organizing group tasks and schedule deadlines and so on. Didn't thought about using it to plan my software projects and ToDos yet.

Will look into Obsidian, thanks :)

If you are using GitLab, you can explore the milestones and issues combo that helps organise your task and group them by goal/theme/etc.
