A TUI for estimating tickets with your team.

Introduction

Free online planning poker tools pretty universally suck. poker aims to fix that through the elimination of unnecessary features.

• No UI
• No integrations
• No infrastructure

Just install one executable - it can run in either client or server mode. Share around the IP it's running at, have your team connect, and start estimating.

Installation

Two options.

1. Have go installed? Simply run go install github.com/jcpsimmons/poker@latest
2. No go? Pop over to the releases page and grab the latest. There are builds for every major system and arch.

Use

The CLI can run in client or server mode. Here is how I like to configure a session:

1. Install ngrok
2. Start forwarding port 8080 via ngrok e.g. ngrok http http://localhost:8080
3. Fire up poker in server mode - poker s (this will run on 8080 by default)
4. In another terminal window - connect to your instance as a client in host mode: poker client --host simsies wss://ngrok-gibberish.ngrok-free.app (be certain you're using wss if using ngrok)
5. Share the URL with your team - to connect as a non-host client: poker client [USERNAME] wss://ngrok-gibberish.ngrok-free.app

Notes

This can also be run on a LAN - especially useful if your team is all on VPN together or on the same office network. Server protocol when running locally will default to ws instead of wss.

Contributing

I welcome contributions - this is my first app written in Golang. There are currently no tests so that may be a good place to begin with contributions!
