Show HN: Dsu (daily stand-up gem)

As featured in RubyWeekly https://rubyweekly.com/issues/687 dsu is a ruby gem that enables anyone practicing Agile methodology to record, keep track of and manage their daily standup (DSU) activities. Give it a download and a GitHub star. Lots of fun to use - whether or not you hate daily stand-ups :) - dsu uses no network connections whatsoever. - dsu stores all of its data locally, in .json files. - dsu is a simple (but powerful) command-line tool for users who love to work within the terminal. - dsu versioning follows the semantic versioning standard (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). - View the wiki: https://github.com/gangelo/dsu/wiki

I know, I know; daily stand-ups should be simple and they aren't performed like they should be; they've gotten complicated, especially when you need to account for your time. "What [you] did yesterday..." can be a list of a dozen one-offs that sometimes answer the question "Why isn't that ticket done?". Anyhow, my dsu gem helps you record, list, remember and manage all the simply, from the command line. Hope you enjoy <3 Suspicious? Visit the dsu github wiki: https://github.com/gangelo/dsu/wiki Adventurous? Go straight to rubygems.org and download: https://rubygems.org/gems/dsu Don't forget to give my git repro a star :)

I have a hard time remembering what to share; what I did yesterday, one-offs I did the day before because I completely forgot. Anyhow, I created this dandy little ruby gem, called dsu.

Daily stand-ups (DSU) are a drag and not what they should be: "what I did yesterday...what I plan to do today...I am/am not blocked...blah, blah, blah".
