Simple Planning Poker Online App

Hey there,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Scrum Jam. It all started because my team and I were struggling to find a simple and user-friendly Planning Poker app. The existing tools either felt too complicated or lacked the features we needed, making the estimation process a bit of a headache.

So, I decided to build Scrum Jam, a free online estimation tool that aims to simplify the whole process. My goal was to create a straightforward and enjoyable experience for all agile teams out there.

Right now, the project is still a work in progress, but I'm genuinely excited about it. I've used Next.js for the frontend and styled it with Tailwind CSS to keep things clean and intuitive. On the backend, I've implemented Node.js websockets hosted on Render.com to ensure smooth real-time communication among team members.

What I enjoy most about this project is focusing on the little details that make a big difference, like micro interactions and an easy-to-use interface. My hope is that Scrum Jam will be a tool that not only helps with estimation but also brings a sense of collaboration and fun to your team's planning sessions.

I would really appreciate your feedback if you decide to give it a try with your team. You can find it at scrumjam.app. Let me know what you think, and together, let's make it a valuable resource for the agile community.

Thanks for your support and happy estimating! 🎲🌟
