Introduction

Currently I normally use GitLab issues for development, but creating a new issue for every single task is cumbersome. I ended up just creating a single issue, which contains everything, that still needs to be done. This way, adding an issue is as simple as adding a new line in a text editor.

My issue has a format like this:

“`

Header

Subheader

• [x] Task 1
• [ ] Task 2
• [ ] Task 3 “`

The tasks will be counted inside the issue (like "1 of 3 finished") and I can single tasks or even move them around without editing the text directly.

The problem is, editing issues in text form on GitLab is cumbersome. The edit button is on the top, I first have to scroll up, then I get warped down to the end of the document and have to scroll up. Besides that, it causes problems, when multiple persons edit that issue at the same time.

Besides that, an issue can only be given to a single person, the subissues can't be given to any person at all.

What I want

The issue tracking software I have in mind wroks like this:

• multiple people are able to edit it at once without problems
• creating an issue is as easy as writing a line of text (writing the text, press enter or some button, and it's fine if I have to click another button that's always visible in my issue list)
• issues can be edited
• issues can be deleted
• issues can be marked as completed
• issues always have an owner
• issues can have multiple assignees
• issues can have multiple categories (like graphics, programming, level2)
• you can search for issues containing a set of categories
• issues have priorities

That's all.

Does it already exist, or at least something similar, or do I have to create it myself?
