I use notebooks like this commenter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12549098

Now, I've also researched this for a while. My latest approach was to develop a git-like command line application (named nica) that allowed me to keep notes, track issues, and pretty much manage the project. It works by creating a hidden directory (like git) and the data is stored in JSON files (because I planned on doing web interface. The aim is to include everything related to the project inside the git repo. So you would not need to use a web interface to know the issues of a particular code base. You could do:

    nica issues

and it would print out a list of open issues. Then you'd do:

    nica issue -n 100

and it would open issue #100.

I built it to understand how to move away from commercial services like github while giving devs a way to host their project data online. There is a web server being developed that would provide the ability to pull/push nica data and a web interface. The only problem I had was with conflicts due to how the data was inside the git repo. But I have not spent any time solving it.

Note that I slowed down development because I'm working on another project (V2V, V2I, and V2S communication for automated cars). It is not a commercial or open source project (pure research). Its being written with python and click (library for command line apps by the team behind flask).
