    Hey HN,

    I'm Mateusz, full-stack dev from Poland. For the past 4 years I've been running planning poker sessions in software houses and corps. Every tool I tried had the same problems:

    - Onboarding takes half the sprint planning ("wait, let me show you how this works...") - Free tiers showing job ads from competitors during estimation - Per-seat pricing that punishes you for growing (5 people → 20 people = 4x the cost) - Everyone needs an account just to vote

    So I built VoteSprint. The idea is dead simple: click to create a room, share a link, people vote. That's it. No accounts for participants, no ads ever, flat pricing regardless of team size.

    *What's different:* - Zero registration for voters (facilitator-only account) - Async mode for distributed teams across timezones - One price up to 20 people (not per-seat) - Lifetime deal option – pay once, use forever

    Currently collecting signups for closed beta (Q1 2026 launch). First 50 teams get free beta access.

    Tech stack: Django + React + PostgreSQL, hosted in EU (GDPR compliant).

    I'd love feedback on: - Does the value prop resonate with your team's pain points? - Pricing model – does flat fee make sense vs. per-seat? - Any must-have features I'm missing?

    Happy to answer any questions about the product or the build.

      I remember days in one corporation, when every time we wanted to create a room quickly, we wasted some time. Adding items for voting also was time consuming, so integration with jira might be a cool point.

        Exactly this. The "let me just set up the room real quick" that somehow takes 5 minutes every time.

        Jira integration is definitely coming — it's on the Q2 2026 roadmap. One-click import so you pull your sprint backlog straight into a voting session.

        Curious — when you were adding items manually, was it mostly typing story titles from scratch, or copy-pasting from somewhere?
