Scrumbs

Scrumbs is a lightweight agile management tool.

September 10, 2019 Time to pivot.

I think we reached a pivot point with Scrumbs (https://www.scrumbs.app).

The release went well, feedback was positive, but I came to the realization that there is a dissonance between what I had in mind when I designed the product, and what the niche we were targeting actually needs.

Back when the idea was born I was managing multiple scrum teams, and I was daydreaming about a product like Scrumbs that helps me with my notes. The idea was born from a pain point I experienced first hand.

I realize now that there is a logical error I've committed. I was not in need of an agile management tool, or a scrum master tool. I was in need of a tool to help me with my NOTES. I'm a note taker first, and my job title second. Not all scrum masters are avid note takers, and not all note takers are working as a scrum master or agile manager.

So, I'm considering to pivot Scrumbs and target the note takers niche, because after all, at it's core it is a note taking tool merged with a todo list.

New tagline: Scrumbs - take better notes.

If you have the time, give the product a quick test drive from the perspective of a note taking tool, and let me know your feedback or any input you have on the topic.

Thanks,
Andrei

      I would definitely advise against using it over google docs. Google docs is the superior tool. Only use Scrumbs if you like to use it :D

August 19, 2019 2 user reported bugs fixed

Glad to see people making use of our bug report/feature request feature.

There were 2 bugs reported last week by our users.

1.) The scroll not working on the authentication view.

2.) Enter is automatically submitting the bug report, which leads to premature submissions.

Both of them fixed and released :)

August 14, 2019 First 115 users in one day!

We released an alpha version of Scrumbs yesterday, and even though we didn't make it into the top 10 on Product Hunt, it was a pretty good launch.

We had 3 people making use of our Bug Report/Feature Request feature, and we clocked in at a total of 115 users!

All in all great experience, seeing people using it and enjoying it, made all the long hours spent on coding worth it.

Let's see if we can get it to 250!

      Yes, the results have been pretty good. It has hard to say what is the exact percentage it contributed to the user growth, because we were linking to the PH launch from all our channels, and we can't distinguish what was organic from PH if that makes sense :)

      Thank you for the kind words, we'll keep on keeping on!

January 19, 2019 Starting a scrum master interview series!

I got inspired by an interview I recently gave for a hacker's blog, and I started putting together a project for interviewing scrum masters.

We have our fist candidate already, so I'm excited to put together the questions.
