On: GitHub Issues-only project management

[madeofpalk]

The open source company im at uses Github Issues/Projects exclusively for project management, and I'm not a fan, though I do think it's the least worst option - using any other system would require a really weird and bad way to sync the issues that are reported publicly.

Github just lacks the few necessary to do project management well, I think. I would love a "backlog view" for Github Projects.

You could just create a column and or use label called backlog.

Yes, this is what we do, but it’s not ideal.

I would love a way to have a separate backlog “column” that doesn’t show in the Project kanban view. I’m keen to try out the new Issues/Project features when they roll out.

Colin sorting or splitting would be amazing for GitHub. The convert to issue feature needs work though.
