Tip: Track Your Progress with GitHub Projects

[jack24254029]

If you have specific issues you want to work on, consider using GitHub Projects to track and share your development progress.

It’s a great way to keep your workflow organized and help others see which issues are open for contributions, avoiding overlap when multiple people are working on similar tasks.

Thank you very much.

I did originally use Projects for a different app (WikiReader) but then it seemed too overpowered and I simply moved on to the GitHub Issue Milestones feature. I'll use that here as well, I should spend more time on organizing this repo.

Thanks for the feedback!

That seems like a great way to use it. I'll learn more about it and integrate it into the repo over the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion!

I never really understood the true use of the two features, now it all makes sense:

• Milestones -> Track progress per-feature
• Projects -> Organize issues/work

Thanks again :)

That’s awesome!

There are actually many different ways to use GitHub Projects, depending on the team’s workflow.
You could also take a look at how some larger or higher-starred repositories organize their projects — it’s a good way to get ideas for different setups and workflows.

By the way, the official GitHub documentation also has some good examples and best practices for Projects:
