ScrumMD: A CLI Scrum tool written in Python

I got grumpy with our Scrum process, and I thought about what kinda tool I'd love to work with... so I started making it in my beloved Python. I think it's mature enough I'd like to start giving it to other people.

It's called ScrumMD. It's open source, and you can already install it with pip (pip install scrummd) if you've got Python 3.10+. Documented, with tutorials on https://scrummd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ and source on https://github.com/lkingsford/scrummd

What my project does

Short version is that it's some tools to support you storing all of your Scrum cards (or, I guess, other cards - tickets perhaps?) in markdown format on a local machine. There's intentionally a lot of flexibility - so, every card needs a summary, but everything else is fair game. You can configure to require fields for some collections (like needing status in stories), or limit fields (like requiring status be 'Done' or 'In Progress').

Target Audience

Limited, but public. It's chief audience is software engineers who work in self-organising teams. It's for teams who use processes like Scrum, but don't need the bureaucracy layers.

Honestly - I know it's niche. Heck, I won't even be using it at work myself. But, if I could, I would - because
