Show HN: Daily Scrums for Side-Projects

1 points by jeffisabelle 16 hours ago

Hello HN, and Merry Christmas!

Two months ago, after an acquisition, I was laid off from my job. During my garden leave, I decided to use the time to build something for tracking my side-projects.

At my previous company, we used Geekbot for async daily standups on Slack, which helped me stay focused and motivated each day. Inspired by that, I created PublicStandups — a tool to keep myself motivated on my side projects by tracking daily progress publicly.

Currently you can;

   - Create multiple projects and post daily updates.
   - Share your updates publicly to build accountability.
   - Track daily streaks and showcase your project's progress with a dedicated page.
   - Highlight your project's tech stack for others to see.
   - Get feedback from other users on your project.

Here's an example project page: https://publicstandups.com/u/muhammet/p/publicstandups/

Right now, this is a basic CRUD app with no magic at all—but my goal is to evolve it into a robust motivational tool for creators. While it's still early days (some buttons might not work, and some text might need tweaking), it's already usable!

ps; For anyone who signs up during this early stage automatically gets a "Founder" flag. If the project eventually includes premium features, flagged users will get lifetime premium access.

Would love your feedback, suggestions, or ideas to improve it. Let me know what you think -
