Tech Stack

StoryMator is built with modern web technologies to ensure a fast, reliable, and real-time experience:

  • Frontend: The client-side is built using React, ensuring a responsive and interactive user interface.
  • Backend: The backend is powered by Express.js, which handles the core logic of the app.
  • Real-Time Communication: StoryMator leverages Socket.IO for real-time updates, making sure that every user sees the same information at the same time as others.
  • Voting Synchronization: Thanks to Socket.IO, when one team member votes, everyone else sees the updated vote count instantly.

How it works

In Agile environments, assigning story points helps teams estimate the effort required for tasks. StoryMator simplifies this by allowing teams to create voting rooms where each member can vote on task difficulty in real-time, using the Fibonacci scale. This ensures that everyone’s input is considered and helps achieve a consensus faster.
