Miro

“I like to throw down my ideas on a white board a bit like Miro but at the same time I like to move them around and link them and look at the bigger picture and then group them all together a bit like a node editor.”

“Canvas design (Figma, Miro, sketching even) allows for lots of ideas side by side. Ideas to be battled out, thrown away fast.”

“Here, I'm using Codex with the @MiroHQ MCP server to automatically generate diagrams from the codebase, edit them, export them, and use them to”

“Frustrating things: 1 - they show the price $10 / month on the Standard Plan. But in reality for $10 you get nothing, you can't even pay $10.”

“What problems do you have with Miro that compelled you to build a diagramming too off an already good diagramming tool?”

“Miro and other formats: make the SVG diagrams editable via drawio Editor and format. Will be a part of the AccentCMS.”

“What are the envisaged use cases here? Miro to drawio?”

“It was one of those “oh wow, THIS is what I’ve been trying to do” moments because I’m a very visual thinker. I could talk through the structure, see it appear on the board, then keep refining it.”

“The log-in change over the past two weeks is so bad. I valued being able to open Miro on my browser from anywhere. Now that I have to log-in to my email on public computers, it deters so much. It feels like a way to protect from sharing accounts, but that hurdle is making me look at other apps.”

“Bc you’ve used miro ptimize the templates around navigation rather than switching tools.”

“Although the price of lowest paid tiers of Miro and Conceptboard look similar, Miro requires a minimum of 2 members. Thus the actual price is double the sticker price.”

“on iPad GoodNotes or Notability are the least painful for PDF annotate + resize; cross-platform Miro (or Excalidraw + PDF plugin) if you need infinite canvas with multi-doc. Xournal++ if you want free and local”

“does Miro have their SDK if I have to load it on my website?”

“Miro handles this well. Infinite canvas, PDF upload, annotate on top, resize and move freely, and the free tier gives you three boards. Excalidraw is lighter and free if you just need to drop in pages and draw around them.”

“I also like Miro, although they do like to put untested features out every now and then, and it breaks stuff.”

“Agreed, Miro does these really well.”

“Miro might be worth trying next. You can upload a PDF, extract individual pages onto the board, move and resize them, then add drawings, notes, shapes, and other stuff around them. Since Concepts already had the features you wanted but the UI bothered you, I’d judge Miro mostly on whether moving between PDF pages and drawing feels natural enough.”

“What about Miro?”

“Miro fulfills all the requirements you listed.”

“Ah, we each have our own Miros but that's because we teach in sets and therefore plan our own lessons.”

“I find it slow and tedious. We have 6 teachers planning on one board and it takes so long for a board to load to do planning on”

“Thank you, I will look into Miro. What is your experience with it, did you use it extensively?”

“Use the free version of Miro, you get like 3 white boards with it. Copy paste the forms into the board and write over it.”

“In team Miro all the way- with a 5 minute “How to use Miro tutorial””

“Miro just got bought out by private equity so I'd avoid getting entangled. There's absolutely no need for both.”
