“We're now testing Miro for capturing the messy current state. Being able to place real examples, photos, sticky notes, exceptions, draft flows, and policy excerpts side by side has been useful. Dispatchers added context like drivers changing routes post-loading, customers accepting partial deliveries, and proof-of-delivery arriving hours late.”
“I use the website miro. It’s a collaborative whiteboard space but you can upload documents to it, write on it and it saves everything. it’s also free for teachers if you upload documentation that you’re actually a teacher.”
“@mavinmartina Noe - this is far from a "miro replacement", and it's not for every target audience. But I've filled this canvas out maybe half a dozen times in Miro. This is *already* a better experience. It does exactly what I want it to do, and it will scale exactly to the team I want it to.”
“I use Miro constantly, and won’t be able to switch away due to work but.. this is seriously disappointing. Not shocked they use AI but seeing how they’ve made airtable continue to get worse, I’m expecting I’ll have to find a miro alternative at some point.”
“Miro and FigJam are great canvases, but they're general-purpose. Every journey map starts from nothing — you rebuild the same grid, the same rows, the same emotion scale, every single time.”
“We've been using miro for Mermaid when the diagram needs input from people outside engineering. devs can still work with the Mermaid syntax but having the rendered diagram on a shared canvas makes reviews with product and other teams a lot less painful.”
“We used to use it for remote retros and whiteboarding, we ended up not renewing because we were already paying for Lucid and there was little added value.I'm curious to know if it was ever as embedded as, say, Jira is, in some companies.”
“My best experience was a large meeting I had recently, in a well equipped conference room with actual whiteboards and stacks of post-it notes and the Power Miro User in the room insisted we all bring laptops and work on the boards online. Jesus Christ.”
“Knowhing how did it go for their other purchases, of which I was using many (Komoot, Eventbrite, Meetup), not a single one has avoided constant nags of prompting for upgrades and dark patterns, so this will most likely end up in a similar way.As many share, I used Miro and found it quite nice.”
“There are a whole lot of people out there who use Miro for all of their documentation, planning, troubleshooting, etc, in multiple roles. It's a primary tool for many people, like a word processor/sheets/slides on steroids.”
“Tried Miro once.Wasn’t a whiteboard replacement.Wasn’t design software.Wasn’t a PM tool.Even when the Miro power users would bust it out in meetings, it was always so painful to watch.I don’t know what the point of Miro really was.”
“Miro's been around for like 15 years and has a couple thousand employees, it's not really something I'd expect someone to replace alone or with a small team. It is much, much better as a studio to stick with solutions that your future hires already know then go with something new even if it did have a feature or two extra.”
“I work through use cases, my thoughts, pros and cons etc... all the same shit I would do in figma, or figjam, miro whatever. Also i will feed it jira tickets, briefs etc too for context.”
“Miro for 30 or 40 euros without the collaboration side is a good example, the sub is paying for team features most solo users never touch. And Pixelmator at 29 is the pay-once success story of the lot.”
“И сейчас пока не нашла вариант, близкий к Miro по техническим инструментам. Когда знакомимся с учеником, после работы на этой доске у него загораются глаза и срабатывает эффект "Вау!" Огромное спасибо за помощь в работе!”
“It is just very intuitive and easy to use so I can focus on the content. I would love to get more presentation possibilities like showing and hiding different layers as well as animations to make complex systems understandable and visually attractive.”
“Miro helps me a lot with my projects as a Technical Lead, creating web and mobile apps from the ground up by explaining the process flow using diagrams. Actually, this is not my "Aha" moment but a "Woah" moment for me, guiding and teaching me step-by-step using it from zero to 100%.”
“AFFiNE is an open-source, local-first knowledge base that merges docs, whiteboards, and tables into one hyper-fused workspace, offering a privacy-focused alternative to Notion and Miro.”
“Being a visual thinker and learner, Miro stuck with me from the first moments. One key, simple but powerful move has been to collaboratively plan our calendars with my girlfriend: having a simple calendar underlay and sparring on upcoming events together.”
“My aha moment was when we run a full 2 days workshop that had only been done in person up to that point entirely on miro, over five 3-hours sessions. This happened during COVID and it was an absolute success!!!”
“Miro represents the pinnacle of design: it is useful, but it also inspires you while you use it. Sometimes, in a random meeting, I’ll say, “Oh, and if you click and drag this little circle, you can rearrange all the sticky notes,” and everyone goes, “Wowww.” Even the simplest interactions are pleasurable.”
“Miro has hard limits on the amount of MCP calls and seems to mess things up half the time, not to mention it doesn't show any metrics nor is really specialized in email/funnel flows. We use Miro now only when the client really wants it, but charge more for it.”
