Ask HN: free online tool for project coordination?

3 points by xxqs 14y ago ↗ HN

We started working on a new open-source project with a group of enthusiasts, and we need some common place to discuss the product design and to record the project progress.

What are the best free tools available for this?

I tried trello.com, but there's a problem with browser compatibility, and also it's not so much transparent for this purpose.

The source code will be published on bitbucket or github later. At the moment we're in the conceptual design phase.

I have been enjoying teambox. It is a simple web based project collaboration tool. It is free as long as you only need 3 projects going. So far we haven't gotten past the free stage, but I would have no problem paying for this product.

http://freedcamp.com has come a long way. I still don't understand why they don't charge for http://podio.com: it is a great quality product.

If you need mainly to discuss your project or track changes, please drop me an email at hello@hushflow.com and I'll create you an account and we can get in touch.
