Re:Ask HN: Product management for solo side projects? on Friday November 24, 2023 @02:58AM (#38401580)
On a solo project, I write a journal, and start finding patterns in it. For e.g. if some parts are front-end related. i add some emoji, or colored text for this and it becomes a "topic". Over time I add Lists for TODO and TODO-later, where I move these items between. The simple act of having colors and graphics helps me keep a high level overview.

For teams, I am experimenting with Github issues. I have added labels for topics and urgency. I chose github, because (i) as a developer I spend a lot of my time there. (ii) I find its editor "quiet". google docs etc take time to load, I want a place to quickly jot down an idea to get it out of my head (iii) It keeps the project management alongside the code.

I'm a few months off on the latest, but one way used to be to start summarizing history if the context did start becoming huge: summarize the earliest n-k messages, keep the last k.
wouldn't that mean trying to fit it on one machine?

Ask HN: Forums where folks discuss hardware products

Hey everyone, I am trying to find niche forums where people discuss the design of and review hardware products.I am talking about people building the next roomba or personal trimmers. I am looking for something between HackerNews and ProductHunt for hardware: where I can get opinions and discussion on the design, components, techniques etc, but where also I can learn from people "launching"...
