Thank you for this very thorough bunch of advice!
This will surely save me some time.
For now I'm using "Gettings things GNOME" as a TODO app (haha) but it's only a temporary tool to get started and brainstorm some big-picture stuff before opening an IDE.
An actual issue/task tracker will surely help me once I do start coding.
Do you recommend GitLab instead of GitHub? I've used GitLab in my previous company and really liked it so, that could be a good option for me.
It's true that the design part, both visual and architectural is particularly interesting and piqued my interest (I downloaded Adobe XD to try and make mockups, for example) but I should indeed get to coding sooner than later.
I'll also be discovering VueJs, but I'm already familiar with EmberJS and (old) AngularJS so, I should not be too lost I guess.
I was using Gitlab before GitHub started opening up (was acquired by MS) and there were no features like free unlimited private repositories or free CI/CD which for me was a complete dealbreaker. Right now GitHub is a bit more competitive, but Gitlab, in my opinion, remains more feature-rich and seems to be more of a complete solution. No hacking, no extra plugins, just one platform in a to-the-point manner. If you've used it you already know this; you also know the UI and capabilities, so I'd stick with it ;)
I too used Adobe XD and it's particularly useful for getting early feedback on your design. Maybe try it this way?
Good luck!

Check Figma for mockups and designing. Its quick, stable and has good community resources :-)
