About this project

Planoker was a lightweight online planning poker tool built for sprint planning and backlog estimation. The product is no longer live; the demo and notes here reflect it as shipped. Teams created a private room, loaded story or task IDs, and voted on story points in sync — no installs or accounts required to get started.

Rooms were powered by Socket.io with state stored in Redis, so votes, reveals, and task transitions propagated instantly to every participant. Facilitators could manage the backlog, reveal votes, mark tasks done, and share invite links so remote teammates joined the same session in seconds.

A Chrome extension injected an “Open in Planoker” action into Jira boards, pre-filling room name and task IDs from the current sprint backlog so planning sessions started without manual copy-paste.

Real-time rooms

Socket.io rooms with Redis-backed state, automatic expiry, and synchronized vote reveals across all connected clients.

Planning poker UI

Fibonacci-style card decks, seat layout, countdown timers, and facilitator controls for advancing through the backlog.

Jira integration

Chrome extension adds one-click room creation from Atlassian Jira backlogs with sprint name and task IDs passed via URL params.

Modern frontend

React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui components with Formik validation and responsive layouts.
