Post Description

Some time ago I shared my Planning Poker app in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23219444 . It has been a huge success, thanks to all the community for that.

Today I am sharing Retrospective Online, an app for running sprint retrospectives for remote/hybrid dev teams.

It follows the same principles as Planning Poker Online, a super simple flow with fun elements (like throwing emojis to cards).

There is also the Jira Plugin of the app, you can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/877611133/retrospecti...

The tech stack is funny as I wanted to make the app reusable for Web and Jira Plugin versions. I created a "hybrid" app using Vite that can run as a Jira plugin or as a web app. I also use Next.js for the public website, and Firebase for auth and db.

I am looking forward to your feedback, please let me know anything that comes to your mind, we want to make the best retro app for dev teams :)

The site does the one thing you need from a directory: compact, scannable comparisons with filters for AI summaries, templates, anonymity and pricing. It's useful for quick vendor triage and the 'no paid placements' claim is a nice trust signal — but the rating methodology and update cadence are not obvious, so take the scores as directional rather than gospel.
