Announcing Free Retro, a lightweight tool for running team retrospectives.

Retrospectives are a simple way for people working together to reflect on a recent project, event, or collaboration. They create space to talk about what went well, what did not go so well, and what could be improved the next time around.

Team retros encourage participation from everyone involved, not just the loudest voices in the room. Everyone gets a chance to add input before the group discusses it together.

Every retro gets a unique, unguessable URL that you can share with anyone. Free Retro is fun, multiplayer, hosted on Cloudflare, open source on GitHub, and free to use.
