//TODO: fix this thing below here Been mulling around making a vim plugin like vim-flake to put the todos into the quickfix window on :w

I use this feature in Eclipse. A GitHub plugin would also be cool (i.e., open an issue when a new todo appears; close it when it's removed).

Same here, I have to track at a personal level, I'll update the Jira etc... But I still have to track it. I've tried Task Coal, org mode, Remember the Milk, etc... But at the end of the day I always go back to a Simple text file. For family stuff (eg: shits that has to be done before we go on holidays) we've been using Google doc which allows concurrent access all sort of devices. I don't use Google doc for my person…

Actually thinking about it, a google doc with my todo list has been about the most efficient tool I have used for task management.

Not just TODO lists:

We use Jira Agile, like a lot of startups. The metrics portion is really sophisticated which is a plus for management, but from my experience most devs hate working with Jira.

I've also used Trello with teams which I find more pleasant especially if designers need to give you assets, for comment threads, etc.

I mostly use a simple todo.txt for my own personal projects. Though I've been by somewhat migrating these into Bitbucket issues.

A few months ago I wrote a Python script called Jello (Jira + Trello) to copy our sprint tasks from the Jira API into a Trello board via their API. This was pretty awesome and satisfied the devs, but I didn't find the time to build 2-way sync, so someone manually updated Jira at the end of the sprint. Someone built an even better version called Gitlo (GitHub + Trello) [1] which front paged momentarily last week.

Trello + Slack + Github. 1. Github to track issues, INTEGRATE it with Slack. 2. Trello for your agile board, INTEGRATE it with Slack. 3. If might also be a good idea to write code that emails and sends a text message to all the mobile phones of your developer.

Using those tools felt like a breath of fresh air. They have a mobile app and web app that has an amazing UI/UX.

Our team uses Thoughtworks Mingle (https://www.thoughtworks.com/mingle/) Its got a simple, rich interface and is free for a 5 user team. You can create your own card walls and track features/bugs/to-do items with different types of cards. Works really well for Agile teams.

At my company, over the last 6 months we've tried Trello, Pivotal, and Sprintly. At past companies I've used Trac, Jira, and Asana. And for the last 7 years I've kept a daily todo.txt, where I append today's date and the 1-2 things I want to try to get done, adding detail as I figure out plans. (This is the only task tracking tool I've recommended that coworkers adopt and are actually using years later) I've come to…

Hi aturek, you should checkout our startup Devarist https://devarist.com This used to be our workflow too and we built Devarist for exactly this purpose.

I wanted to see what you've built, but I'm not going to sign in to do it. You should have a demo.
