Ask HN: What do you use to manage your coding projects?

3•SunshineTheCat•2h ago
I feel like I change what "tool" I use to manage/juggle my projects on a monthly basis these days.

That's likely a me problem; getting bored with the tool itself, but I often find myself reverting back to a pen and notepad, paper, notecard, etc.

This usually happens after using an app/software that is needlessly complex and ends up requiring me to manage it rather than it providing any organizational or "productivity" value. (A lot easier to write a task at the top of a notecard rather than assigning 27 "priority" tags, deadlines, location, categories, etc. to the thing)

I know everyone is different in this realm, but very interested in what's been working for you.

I think this is a universal problem: after a break, you reopen a project and spend more time rebuilding context than actually coding. I’m thinking of a Cursor-style chat that acts as project memory, it can answer “what did I do last?” and “what changed since then?” using git/PR history, and also lets me drop quick ideas for Project A while I’m working on Project B, so it reminds me when I come back. Would you use something like this, or is there a simpler workflow that already solves it?
