Since I'm obsessed with tools, I've tried all of these: Basecamp TODOs, Google Spreadsheet, Lighthouse, Trac, Pivotal Tracker, GitHub Issues. I find Pivotal Tracker and Lighthouse to work best.
Basecamp TODOs quickly pile up and become unmanageable as ideas keep pouring in.
I hate Trac just because of its design and less-than-perfect attention to detail.
Spreadsheet is very limited when it comes to commenting, and does not allow to view tasks using different groupings/filters without interfering with others.
Lighthouse just feels better than GitHub Issues as a traditional bug tracker. I'd say it is the best place to store the 1000s of ideas you will have.
Pivotal Tracker is probably best if you're working stably, nearly full-time. I haven't been fortunate enough to work on my own projects full time so far, and the planning thing really breaks down when week-to-week progress is overly unpredictable.
Personally, I'd recommend to stick with Lighthouse.
