Hey HN,

I’ve been working with agile teams for years, and every Planning Poker session had the same problems: too many logins, slow interfaces, ads everywhere, or tools that feel like they were built in 2009.

So I built my own: https://scrumpoker-online.de

No signup, no ads, no tracking, no “premium tiers.” Just open the link, create a room in 1 second, and start estimating.

Why I built it

Planning Poker should be:

fast

frictionless

lightweight

and accessible for any team (remote or not)

Most tools overcomplicate something that should take 10 minutes of a sprint.

What it offers

Create a room instantly, share a link, start estimating

Works for remote teams without onboarding

Mobile-friendly

No user accounts

No cookies / no trackers

Super clean UI

Absolutely free

Bonus: I also built a comparison of the best Planning Poker tools

While researching, I tested all major tools and wrote a breakdown here: https://scrumpoker-online.de/en/best-planning-poker-tools

(If you're curious how mine stacks up.)

What’s next

I’m collecting feedback and planning to add:

optional room history

integrations (Jira, GitHub issues)

real-time anonymity mode

a public API for custom workflows

Would love your thoughts – especially around UX, technical improvements, and integrations you’d actually use. Happy to get roasted; that’s why I’m posting here.

Thanks for checking it out!
