Show HN: Built a gamified work mgmt system for my team, now sharing it with all (shram.io)

3 points by gadekarjay30 2y ago ↗ HN

We developed Shram to make work management more engaging. Tasks are the basic blocks, with an approval cycle + rating system like Uber. Completing tasks earns XP and you must maintain a green bar until it the end of week. It then resets at the start of the week. This way Shram connects daily work with performance. It’s free to use so check it out! :)

Interesting concept. I didn't check the tool, but the features look promising. One question, though: How do you ensure seamless user experience when many users are using it at the same time ?

Well, we use decent sockets that we are planning to now upgrade and again, for a MVP, we haven't yet received complaints on this subject. We do have plans to optimise this like Linear has. And that is next in the list of to-dos for our team. :)

Pretty nice! How did you achieve that seamless floating window animation?

It was really tough but its just basic maths and a little bit of perspectives. It was definitely quite challenging to handle state management as we are using React. But truth be told, the re-renders are a pain I am yet to overcome.

I guess because i didn't create a lot of tasks/milestones etc this problem didnt arise for me. I was thinking if it was an issue especially once you have a lot of data to load. Considering all three screens/windows are visible at the same time.

This looks like Keka meets Jira. Pretty Interesting. Do I get to see my previous stats like my Apple Health app where I see my previous run/workout data?

Hey! That's an interesting statement. And yes you can view your previous performance metrics from your past work data on Shram. :)
