#2I've used https://trello.com/ for most of my projects even when I am working with a team. We love it. Here are some basics on how to manage a project with Trello: https://trello.com/inspiration/project-management.

#3I wholeheartedly recommend WorkFlowy - https://workflowy.com
For me, its focus on text and deep hierarchical breakdown, in combination with tagging is potent. You may need to figure out your own way to adapt to your PM style though. For example, some common tags I use are "#next", "#someday", "#2018-02-08" and such.

#5Org mode. I put a Readme.org in every project I start, and it can help with most project management tasks. You can also hook these files up to your Org agenda, so that issues (i.e. TODO items) show up there.
Edit: I should also mention the Dired mode in Emacs, which is a directory browser. I use "% g" quite frequently, and it has useful extensions like wdired and dired-hacks.

#6Use Quip for documenting features, ideas, check-listing, task tracking

Having one place for chats, documents, tasks is great. Its fast, simple and real-time!

Ditto with Trello. A Kanban workflow is almost ideal for all small (and even some larger) projects...
Re: Ask HN: Simple tools/hack for small project management
#10For small/solo projects I prefer to use a notebook with the first few pages reserved for an index. I complement it with a kanban board on the wall (post-it notes).
What I like about it:
No procrastination in a management tool (over-planning, formatting, etc).
No illusion of order (technology/computers have a tendency to make you appear disciplined, or to pretend you will be more disciplined by using them… I think it's bullshit. Discipline is a core skill, not the ability to use a tool).
No software can provide the feel of moving a post-it note to the "Done" column. Physical data (pages) is also supposed to help memorization.
