Ask HN: Anyone recommend BaseCampHQ alternatives?

#1
I'm looking for a web-based project management suite that works well for software development projects. I just started using BaseCamp, and I'm really not impressed with the user interface. For example, I just added my to-do list, and I can't even view a description/comment without opening it up. Anyway, my point is, has anyone else found a better PM software?

I've been a fan of Fogbugz for a long time, but I have a team of 5, and can't afford $125/month unfortunately.

Agreed, $125/mo. may be more than you or I are willing to spend. I don't understand how it's over the top if you're on the hook for a team of 5.

Personally, I wouldn't use Fogbugz based on the fact that it costs $125/mo. But, I know I'm not their target audience.

You might want to take a look at one of the following

Unfuddle - Project Management + Git/Subversion Hosting http://unfuddle.com/

Assembla http://www.assembla.com/

I've always liked Unfuddle.

A lot depends on how you run your team, of course.

We have been using Project Turf for a month now and we like it so far. The user interface is sleek, you have unlimited users and unlimited storage and the prices are quite reasonable.

Thanks, my team is going to try out project turf for its 2 week trial, and then re-evaluate. so far so good (all I did was add tasks, but basecamp failed that test...)
