Why HN links it
Commenters mostly name Sprintly as a project-management and agile tool, not as a writer. Its blog is linked for a Slack integration write-up and scrum meeting practices, and no comment judges the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 13 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Sprintly is agile project management software for your whole team.

I've been assembling a list of these lately for a book that I'm working on. ( http://startingandsustaining.com ) Some of the categories are fairly loose as some apps don't fit nicely into categorical buckets, but hopefully this is a helpful list. --Browser/Email Testing BrowserStack ( http://www.browserstack.com ) Litmus ( http://litmus.com ) --Bug/Issue Tracking BugHerd ( http://bugherd.com ) Lighthouse ( http://li…

HN discussionWell, I'm quite happy using Sprint.ly ( https://sprint.ly ) to build our product. I think what makes it a good choice for software development are the things it does not have, like custom statuses, custom item types, time tracking. Also, it has sane defaults. Their story format (As a ... I want ... so that ....) can be weird at first if you are not used to it, but it really helps focusing on the real benefits of a f…

HN discussionIt looks like what you're doing is quite similar to Sprintly. https://sprint.ly -- Including your advanced GitHub integration which they've had for a few years. What would you say makes you different from them?

HN discussionWe're using it at http://sprint.ly/ . In general, I like it. I wish... - I could search w/ meaningful results - I could group by exception type. - I had a better method of seeing the different input data that caused the exception (without next/next/nexting). - there were lots more information around my source code. I could probably come up with a few more if I were pressed to. All that said, we'll continue to pay fo…

HN discussionTrello[0] is a pretty good one-size fits all to-do application, and can be useful for dumping ideas. If your tech team grows and you need something a little more specific, I recommend Sprintly[1]. Of course, an inherent conflict arises when one longs for a product with extra features that scratch particular itches, but wants to avoid learning and using and coordinating multiple products simultaneously. There's no ea…

HN discussionAt https://sprint.ly we use Buffer to manage outgoing posts. It's worked really well; especially now that they have the new scheduler: http://cl.ly/image/1I2g153e3c31 . We publish fairly regularly on our blog, so anytime we post something new, we schedule it in Buffer at the same time (using this schedule: http://cl.ly/image/3J1V3Q25242I )

on “Ask HN: How well does your small company/agency do with social media?”We've been using a Kanban-like approach for about 36 months. While it's not perfect, it's advantage is that it's actually fairly flexible: you can modify it to fit your needs. For example: we look at the immediate backlog at the beginning of every week, and then look at what we accomplished on Fridays. We also do longer range planning at a monthly Product meeting where Engineering, Sales and the Product Manager all…
