“Try switching to something anonymous like a Miro board where people drop sticky notes without names attached. Start with "what's one thing slowing you down that nobody's asking about" instead of the generic what went well / what didn't”
“Even a few years ago it was quite expensive but we only had MS whiteboard until very recently but heard that other companies still had Miro so was a bit surprised to read NN also lost it”
“I shouldn’t have to use a mix of teams, one drive, Google Drive, canvas, miro, and twenty other websites to access my assignments just because one professor likes one and hates the other.”
“My team keeps a growing Miro board throughout the life of any significant project. Every sketch, draft, revision, and note is preserved. At the end of the project the Miro is a great archive.”
“We keep ours alive but clean it in sections miro's infinite canvas makes that pretty easy because discovery can stay on one side while current flows and decisions have their own area.”
“A bit slower to fill than Miro, every NPC is a real page, but then the same NPC sits on the map, in the family tree and in the relations graph, all pointing at one page.”
“If you want a live whiteboard session with a room of people, Miro is still probably the better choice. Just don’t expect the mind-map-specific stuff to stay editable afterward.”
“The miro connector is amazing. I had that “holy shit” moment the first time I used it. I took a project plan that it had created in markdown format and simply asked “map this project plan out in miro” and 5 minutes later it spit out a fully interactive masterpiece.”
“Miro has a free plan as well, though exports are limited [https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017730373-Free-Plan](https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017730373-Free-Plan)”
“The fact that the .canvas JSON spec is open source is amazing. For someone with visual OCD, it scratched the exact itch of being able to manually move, segment, and group pieces together on an open plane in a way that intuitively made sense.”
“So, firstly I try to remove this uncertainty by put my idea on ground - it can be miro with “paper design”. For example, my idea about island and how a character surviving on that island. I make a new board in miro, create an island and put my character on that island and try to figure out why this character needs to survive.”
“however if you use Miro for screenshot, it doesn't really have that "Canvas" feeling. will definitely be looking for feedback once the app is out though, and bookmarks are on the roadmap !”
“I just have my notes in a dirty google doc right now that I load in as a pypanel for me to paste my snippets and a separate pypanel for Miro to paste my screenshots. I really need a better more indexable system.”
“Miro’s own docs also say mind maps aren’t a supported diagram type there. Flowcharts, ER diagrams and sequence diagrams are supported, while mind maps render as pictures.”
“I can understand if I get asked "How is this different from Miro?" "How is it different from Mermaid AI?", and the thing is, those are apps for whiteboards or diagrams using AI, they have a large userbase, but you still have to modify some of the content yourself.”
“For my research I used to use the free online board Miro. It’s really fun to paste and pin information. My research board grew so big over time, it was a joy to see it all come together.”
“I use this whiteboard application called Miro to plan things out. In Miro you can connect nodes or models together to feed one output into another. So If I wanted Miro's AI to come up with a trip, I could have all these nodes connected and feeding from one another to create a custom plan.”
