Hello Guys!
I would like to share The Point Poker, a new web app I built to make agile effort estimation fun, engaging, and stylish! After a month of development, I’ve launched this MVP to help engineers and teams estimate tasks and user stories. As someone working in a company that runs 3-4 grooming and planning sessions per sprint/week, I saw the need for a simple, beautiful tool to streamline pointing sessions.
What is The Point Poker? The Point Poker is a web app designed for agile teams to estimate effort using a sleek, minimalist interface. Unlike other tools in the market, we focus on delivering a delightful user experience with unique features:
Minimal UI: Clean design that makes pointing sessions visually appealing.
Gamification: Level up as you participate, keeping you motivated and engaged.
Custom Cards: Unlock stylish, personalized poker cards to point with flair.
Right now, this MVP is for individual engineers (B2C), but I’m planning to expand with team-focused features for companies (B2B) in the future, like integrations with Jira and Slack, retrospectives, and wellness tracking.
Try out The Point Poker at https://www.thepointpoker.com
Share your thoughts on the UI, gamification, or card designs.
Suggest features you’d love to see (e.g., team collaboration tools, analytics, etc.).
Thanks for your support 🙏

The idea of gamifying estimation makes me curious—will there be leaderboards for teams in the future?

Honestly, I never thought I’d find pointing to be “stylish,” but those custom cards look incredible.

@lavinta_hasan Each card is a little piece of art. That's because ThePointPoker isn't just a planning poker app; it's a platform where everyone can share their personality through custom cards and seals. This initial version includes a couple of unique card designs, with many more on the way to make your poker sessions more varied and fun! 😎

@justice_nissan Yes! The leveling system keeps users engaged by allowing them to unlock new cards (Under development) and reach higher levels. It makes Planning Poker sessions much more dynamic and fun 🙇♂️

Navigating the dashboard is a breeze. It’s so much smoother and more intuitive than other pointing tools I’ve tried.

Launching as B2C first is a brilliant move! I’m excited to see how the Jira/Slack integrations will work in the B2B version.

@summer_jack Yes, exactly. I'm using a B2C strategy to validate and improve the web app, and getting some early leads is also a key priority 💪
