Planning Poker App

A real-time application game that helps teams plan their sprints using the Planning Poker method.

Planning Pocker App is a small project to help me learn Svelte, NginX, EC2, and WebSockets.

With the app, the user can:

• Create a room informing: player's name, room's name, and the voting system.
• Share the room by copying the page URL.
• Join an existing room by entering the shared URL.

The game works as follows:

• Every turn represents a task that the team is attempting to estimate.
• Players can choose a card they think best represents the task complexity.
• At any point, any player can end the turn revealing everyone's selections.
• If there is consensus about the task estimate, the team can move on to the next task. Otherwise, they can initiate a new turn for the same task.

Technologies

• Figma for the initial prototype and logo.
• Svelte for the UI buinding.
• Svelte Kit as the SSR provider.
• Tailwind CSS for styling.
• Socket.IO for real-time server communication.
• AWS EC2 and NginX for the virtual machine and HTTP server. This is necessary as maintaining a WebSocket connection within Vercel is challenging due to their use of serverless functions for deployment. Click here for more info.
