Task management software

[celljunk-e]

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good hosted task management system. All I need to do is post tasks, notes with the tasks, file attachments and set priority. I found basecamp to be really annoying. Any suggestions? Paid is fine...not looking to be cheap.

I have one word for you. Trello. Supporting details include "it just works" and "It is free". Seriously check that out.

Can you give me an example of how you use Trello?

Can you set rules for items moving to the next stage?

Does anyone use this in work to manage their projects? (As part of a team and not as part of a team)

Well, it's not project management software so there are no rules or stages. You add a task to a board. Then you can comment on that task, move it to another board, share it with someone else, etc. I'm pretty sure their website has all of this stuff answered way better than some random reply you'd get here.

I just thought it might do more that what it appears to do

Another Trello user here. We use it in-house, but also my wife and I use a separate board for things we want to pass along to each other. Works great.

I made a similar ask HN some weeks ago, people suggested Trello, and yes, it is badass and kickass and everythingelseass that you can imagine.

yep, looks pretty good thus far

Producteev is now in first place for me, but the android app needs to be updated. I've spent this week testing just about every PM software on the planet :P

Wait - you said in the OP that you wanted "task management" but now you've upgraded to "project management"? Those are quite different in my eyes. Task management can be done just fine with a plain .txt document but project management needs a much more rigid implementation.

You should try Blimp (getblimp.com) have being using it for a few month and it just works. They have a free plan.

Not terribly impressed...but it has potential. I like trello better thus far. Toodledo is nice, but doesn't have collaboration.
