Oops?

Command	Description

Join a sprint

Join once a sprint is started.

Command	Description
_join	Join the active sprint (with no starting words). Note: You must join your own sprint too.
_join 10000	Join with 10,000 words (This is the word count of the document you're working on)

Some different ways to declare or update your word count

Command	Description
_wc 10150	When time's up, declare the word count of your document is now 10,150. If you started with 0 words, your word count might look more like _wc 150.
_wc 0 new	At the end of a sprint you may wish to simply declare that you've written no new words at all.
_wc 150 new	If you know how many new words you've written, but perhaps changed documents or lost track of your starting word count, you can just declare how many of your words are new.
_wc +50	Add another 50 new words to your count. Perhaps from your second manuscript.
_wc 10150 final	Give your final word count early, before the sprint is over. This way Sprinto won't wait for another _wc from you after time's up. #TODO: better feedback to the user when using final
_join 15000	You can rejoin a sprint with a different number of starting words before giving your wc. Sometimes it's easier.
_join just 200 final	Late to the party? Forgot to join? Dive-bomb in just before the finish line with just your final tally and surprise everyone! You can't use this to join a sprint before it's fully underway.
Why are there so many commands?	The top one is all you need to use. The rest are just for your convenience.
