Ask HN: Project management tool for working with a remote team?

9 points·kull··7 comments

I am looking for something VERY simple, ideally something that integrates with Gmail and Google Drive (some Chrome extension?). I have always multiple projects and 4 developers to manage. Some simple daily TODO lists and time tracking also are needed. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you're actually looking for something pretty complex if it needs all of those features. We use Asana for managing remote teams and that's worked well for us. If it needs to be something that lives inside GMail, maybe check out Streak. It's a lightweight CRM that let's you manage different processes, flows and relationships from within your inbox.

It looks like something I was looking for! Very nice, thank you. Are there any alternatives to Streak? I didn't test it yet, but I am just wondering.

Hey there - founder of streak here. We use Streak internally to manage our product development process and bugs pipelines. We even have a blog post about how to use streak for that. See blog.streak.com. happtly to help if you need, reach me at aleem at streak.

Hi, sounds good. So, the service is free? I don't see any pricing on the website.

You should take a look at our tool - Project Bubble (http://projectbubble.com). It's designed for creatives who work in teams. There's no payment commitment for small teams so you should be able to use it for free.

You may try planbox (https://www.planbox.com/), they have a Chrome plug-in

Or have a look at Microsoft's Team Foundation
