TinyRetro
Why This is an Opportunity
Real-time collaborative UIs with WebSockets are one of the most satisfying things to build as a dev, and retros are something nearly every dev team does regularly but almost universally dreads. A tool that's opinionated about keeping it fast and anonymous has a natural viral loop — one person sets it up, the whole team uses it.
Key Pain Points
- •Retro boards in Miro or Google Docs turn into unfocused 45-minute therapy sessions with no actionable outcomes
- •People don't give honest feedback because the board isn't anonymous and their manager is watching
- •Action items from retros disappear into the void because nobody copies them out of the retro doc
- •Setting up a retro board from scratch every sprint is tedious busywork that the scrum master dreads
Original Discovery
Remote teams do sprint retros in shared docs or Miro boards that are either chaotic or boring. TinyRetro is a focused, real-time retro board where everyone adds cards anonymously, votes on what matters, and the whole thing auto-generates a clean summary with action items when you're done. No account needed for participants — just share a room code. It's designed to make retros take 15 minutes instead of 45 and actually be... not painful?
