joycew··on Ask HN: How do you manage issues/bugs, track features
I've tried Asana quickly before, seemed very similar to trello. But I really liked the inline ':' type to create a new section of issues, very intuitive and fast. Will have another go to see how well it fits our project.

Including all the sub tasks sounds great, means each time you complete a small task there is a sense of achievement. I'll try it out! Thanks!

joycew··on Ask HN: How do you manage issues/bugs, track features
yea I just tried it out by hooking trello to it. It's good that it pulls in all the feeds from most apps. Makes it very easy to see whats going on. Like a live twitter feed! But hard to manage the focus, will try search and tag

Hojoki looks great, going to try it out, thanks for the tip! Is it easy to manage what issues to focus on with all these tools combined together?
joycew··on Ask HN: How do you manage issues/bugs, track features
Sounds like a great flow. We are using trello at the moment. A list each for current focus, bugs and new features for future dev. I can assign issue to someone in trello too but it's not very efficient and seeing lists of issues in a large board can be overwhelming.

We normally get together on Monday to sort these issues. Move urgent ones to the 'focus' list etc. But the main problem is that it's not very motivating to log issues and to solve them. It always looks like there are infinite amounts of work to do.

You are right, the site doesn't support search at the moment. We have plans to add search in our next update, hopefully that'll solve the problem:)

I think the last bit means, don't download the iconset and publish on other sites. Like torrent.

You probably won't need 2000 icons on a site? We normally just pick the icons we need rather than the whole pack.

I really like code school's hands on approach where you can try out all sorts of git commends. Learn as you go and quite fun! http://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-git

I like the 4 day working concept but it must be pretty difficult to stop people from working. Great video!
