Hey Product Hunters, If you're like me, I always have a side project or two to work on. I enjoy working on them and learn a lot from them. Last year, I worked hard and saved enough money to put a pause on my professional career as a software engineer. I kickstarted this year fresh with a pursuit towards my solo passion project. In doing that, I needed to be discipline and I wanted to keep track of my progress. I did weekly sprints, and have a large backlog of tasks written down in a text file. After a few months I released my passion project into early access (it's a game called Bring the Chickens Home which is on Steam) and found this process incredibly helpful. I could see how much I was getting done and I would reflect back over my week's performance at the end of every sprint. This is what lead me to make https://www.sprintsly.app. I wanted something that felt more organized, more on rails. There were weeks that I skipped the retrospective or went over my weekly sprints. I created this product for myself to use, and I hope others who use it will also benefit from it like I do. There are many great project management software out there, but a lot of them have too many features. I wanted something simple, straightforward and quick. It is why I was using a text editor in the start, but later wanted something that held my hand through the process more. I also got tired of trying to keep the formatting consistent between sprints when using a simple text file. To finish, you can: - Create projects - Create a backlog - Define your sprint's goal - Size your tasks and add them into the sprint - Receive a warning if you're adding more tasks than usual - Start/End/Complete your sprints - Write about how your sprint went in a retrospective - See overall stats from your past sprints I'd really appreciate it if you give this an product an upvote and by checking out Sprintsly. Many thanks, Clyde
