Having to create issues-only repositories seems like a sign that one may be using the wrong tool. But the simplicity of GitHub Issues, and the fact that most issues on my plate are related to a particular repo, makes it tempting.

GitHub issues + ZenHub is a great combo.

In a previous workplace, our security operations team (firewall) had several options for project tracking: Nothing, or Gitlab issues.

Generically, we're talking "Kanban board" with swimlanes for the status, tags for categorization, and comments/attachments for discussion tracking.

I'm currently in a position to get some people sync'ed on projects for a client, and I am going to recommend we use Trello.

Kanban is just the right level of organization and visibility without going full agile-daily-standup-sprint overload.

Not github but gitlab EE - we used that at my old job for pretty much everything(and because none of the people on my team could stand the jira-confluence duo).

Tangent, but:

Why isn’t Sticky Notes just a view into a particular folder in Notes.app, anyway?

That's how we operate: Issues only. Even legal and marketing use issues.

...In their ideal form, GitHub issues are homogenous. An issue is a task that you need to complete. If it isn’t a task, it isn’t an issue. If it’s done, it’s closed. If it’s not done, it’s open.

I actually still use it all the time. Just a habit from when I started using what was then OS X in '08.
