Show HN: Slack App for Scrum Poker

[benlaval]

Hey I am Ben and I have built a slack app for scrum poker (slack.thisiseffort.io).

You can anonymously vote on software development tasks within slack, it is used by a few remote software developments teams currently and I am keen for more feedback.

It is very easy to start a voting session using the /effort command, followed by the title of your task. This then invites everyone in the channel to start voting anonymously, ensuring that no one influences anyone else.

Really keen for more feedback and it is also free to use!

Enjoy.

Ben

Looks great from the website. I like that it seems to do one thing and do it well

Unfortunately it's not super easy for teams to add a Slack bot to their channel in large companies (with an IT department), so I can't take it for a spin

Good point! I have always worked at start ups where this has been easy.

I do have a web app version here - https://www.thisiseffort.io/

However, I personally prefer the slack app.

That looks cool, my team works in scrum and we always struggle with voting remote. Will give this a try! Nice work.
