Scrum Solitare

Enterprise-style Scrum Poker application using Go, Gin, and SSE for real-time room updates.

Highlights

• Go backend with layered architecture (handlers, state, routes, config)
• Memory-first room state with disk synchronization to JSON files
• Real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Strict state sanitization: unrevealed votes from other users are never broadcast
• Backend authorization for admin-only actions (reveal, reset)
• Themeable frontend with:
  • CSS architecture split into main.css, layout.css, and /themes/*
  • Theme options: win98 (default), modern, No Theme
  • Light/Dark mode independent from active theme
  • Desktop taskbar controls + mobile top controls for theme/mode switching
  • Config page and card deck preview
  • Drag-and-drop card ordering
  • Card add/remove with animation completion handling
  • Room password option
  • Room interface with voting area, participants, and admin controls
• Username persistence through localStorage

Project Layout

• src/main.go: app bootstrap
• src/config/: environment configuration
• src/server/: Gin engine setup
• src/routes/: page/api route registration
• src/handlers/: HTTP handlers (pages + API + SSE)
• src/state/: in-memory room manager, sanitization, persistence
• src/middleware/: static cache headers middleware
• src/models/: template page data models
• src/templates/: HTML templates (index.html, room.html)
• static/css/main.css: shared component primitives
• static/css/layout.css: grids/flex/positioning/responsive layout
• static/css/themes/: drop-in theme files
• static/js/ui-controls.js: global theme + mode engine
• static/js/: page logic (config.js, room.js)

Environment Variables

• HOST: server host/interface to bind (default all interfaces, equivalent to 0.0.0.0)
• PORT: server port (default 8002)
• DATA_PATH: directory for room JSON files (default ./data)

Run Locally

go mod tidy
go run ./src

Open http://localhost:8002.

To bind explicitly:

HOST=localhost PORT=8002 go run ./src
HOST=0.0.0.0 PORT=8002 go run ./src

Docker

Build:

docker build -t scrum-solitare .

Run:

docker run --rm -p 8002:8002 -e DATA_PATH=/app/data scrum-solitare

Real-Time Flow (SSE)

• Client joins room via POST /api/rooms/:roomID/join
• Client subscribes to GET /api/rooms/:roomID/events?participantId=...
• Server broadcasts sanitized room state updates on critical mutations:
  • room creation
  • join/leave
  • vote cast
  • reveal
  • reset
