scrumblr

important!

This is a Go version of the original Javascript/Node project. The original node files are still in the project structure for reference purposes. This is a small project to learn more about Go so don't expect great code. A Redis testing framework is currently being used which doesn't support serialization to disk, so data will not be saved between restarts!

current state of go conversion

It supports creating cards, moving cards, editing card content.

It doesn't support:

Editing columns
Adding stickers
Usernames
Persisting room data

what is it

scrumblr is a web-based simulation of a physical agile kanban board that supports real-time collaboration. it is built using node.js, websockets (using socket.io), CSS3, and jquery. i hope you like it.

you can play with a demo here:

scrumblr.ca/demo

use scrumblr

if you'd like to use scrumblr go to scrumblr.ca. new boards are made simply by modifying the url to something unique. e.g. your team could use a shared board at: http://scrumblr.ca/thisisoursecretboard23423242

alternatively, you can follow the instructions below to setup scrumblr yourself. it is very simple -- it just uses redis and node.js.

if you are a developer, please fork and submit changes/fixes.

browser support

scrumblr works on up to date chrome and firefox browsers. enable websockets for optimal performance. tested mainly on chrome for osx. this was not designed for browser support. use chrome for this app.

design philosophy

my goal was to avoid buttons and ui (almost everything is edit in place or draggable). everything should be discoverable (no "help"). the look is meant to be as close as possible to Well.ca's real sprint board. see picture below. many of the decisions were to make the app look and feel as much as possible like well.ca's real sprint board -- you may find this annoying but we find it kinda funny.

how to install and run on your own computer

install all the Go dependencies required (you can install these by running go get {package name})
open a terminal in the project folder and enter go run *.go, if you're on windows try go build -o scrumblr.exe && scrumblr.exe - this way you won't need to confirm firewall access on every launch.
open a browser to http://<server>:8080 where <server> is your server's url or IP address.
