  • Project mention: Top 5 open source project management software 2024 | dev.to | 2024-04-29

    I used to manage hundreds of authors for a media site hosted by a tech company, and now I help a project management tool company (OpenProject reach its audience by sharing its remarkable features and stories. So, in this post, I've given an overview of the top 5 open source project management software in 2024.

  • Kanboard

    Kanban project management software

  • Project mention: Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17

    Linux Mint with Cinnamon: https://www.linuxmint.com/ as far as desktop OSes go it's familiar (Ubuntu without snaps by default), whereas the UI feels both snappy, doesn't use too much resources and is actually pretty to look at.

    MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ this one is a bit more Windows centric but I ended up paying for it and replaced mRemoteNg and PuTTY with it, it's even better than Remmina or whatever Linux has to offer - you can manage SSH/RDP/VNC/... sessions, input across multiple sessions side by side and it just simplifies things a lot (jump host support, a port forwarding too and so much more).

    GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/ also a piece of software that I paid for, this one actually makes using Git pleasant, feels better to use than SourceTree and Git Cola (even though that latter is wonderfully lightweight, too) and honestly I prefer that to the CLI nowadays.

    Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ is a lightweight Kanban project management tool, it might not have every feature under the sun but it's the most snappy project management tool I've ever used, looks simple and runs well. I honestly love it, what a nice thing to have.

    Most modern text editors and IDEs: I personally pay for JetBrains IDEs but also like Visual Studio Code as a text editor and both have helped me immensely, they're reasonably performant when you have the RAM, look nice, often give you suggestions about how to improve your code and also have a plethora of plugins in their ecosystems. Nowadays I unapologetically use LLMs as well and overall it feels like I have these great tools and cool autocomplete (that is sometimes a bit silly and wrong) at my disposal, that makes me happy.

    Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/ imagine if there was a successor to Windows Movie Maker, though something that gets most of the important stuff out of Sony Vegas, except is also completely free and works on most platforms. Kdenlive is all of that and also somehow quite pleasant to use, I actually prefer it to DaVinci resolve. There is a bit of a learning curve to any piece of software like this, but everything mostly makes sense in this one.

    Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ I still use this for my personal Git repositories and integrating with CI systems and it's lightweight, looks good and just feels pleasant to use. Previously I self-hosted GitLab and constantly ran into resource exhaustion as well as doubts about the next update is going to corrupt all of my data and break (it did), so now I use Gitea instead.

    Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ a container native CI solution that I can also self host. It's container oriented, integrates with Gitea nicely, is similarly nice to GitLab CI and doesn't cause me headaches like Jenkins would.

    Docker: https://www.docker.com/ yes, even Docker desktop. It just makes working with containers really pleasant and predictable, even when something like Podman also exists (and also is great). I don't know, I feel like Docker really saved me from having brittle legacy environments, even self-contained containers with health checks and resource limits with still the same brittle code inside of those make me feel way more safe.

  • TaskBoard

    A Kanban-inspired app for keeping track of things that need to get done. (Don't forget to read the Wiki page!)

  • Project mention: TaskBoard - how much does it read | /r/TaskBoard | 2023-07-06

    I think you may be lost. This subreddit is for an open source project called TaskBoard (https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard), not the Google Tasks Board thing (which is what I'm assuming you're referring to).

  • awesome-agile

    Awesome List of resources on Agile Software Development.

  • mycollab

    An open source, free, high performance, stable and secure Java Application Business Platform of Project Management and Document

  • Project mention: FOSS project management suite like Clickup/Asana/Monday | /r/foss | 2023-06-23

    I haven't used either of these two suggestions, but with some quick searching, I found MyCollab or Fractale which look like they might be pretty good. MyCollab looks better of the two of those to me, but Fractale could surprise me.

  • Project mention: How to manage tasks in game dev? | /r/gamedev | 2023-05-20

    After lots of trying out, I found that the tool Obsidian has the excellent plugin Cardboard, which supports subtasks as items in a Trello style view. Not only I have all the backstory, texts, characters wiki style in one searchable, connected space, I can directly create tasks. The next step is to use the dataview plugin to manage in game data.
