i think microsoft and google are close 2nds and 3rds.

But i have to admit i apparently messed something up when i tried this before because the autoswitch because it is working as one would expect.

but thanks for comments. 

the reason I say that Miro has such a bad interface is that i’ve been using it for 2 years and still have the same issues. 

that leads me to make assumptions I admittedly shouldn’t make.

But, the level of struggle I having made dozens of boards is still the same.

And here’s a simple example of how the Miro dev community doesn’t seem to care.

I create miro boards for people to use who have never used Miro before.

It’s important to have frames be up. But there is no option (correct me if they’ve added this - asked for it over a year ago) to have a default setting whether frames are showing on the left.

With complex boards this is essential. Yes, I know about the starting view option. But that doesn’t set frames AFAIK (and I’ve asked).  So, for EVERY board I make, i have to have the starting view explain how to get frames going on the left.  This has to be a simple thing to do.

So, when I say worst UX ever, I have evidence. Yes, I’ve struggled with many applications (Social Oomph being one now).  But there I’m getting used to it and in a little more time I’ll have it nailed. After 2 years of using Miro and still having challenges with using it, I’m extremely frustrated.  They have a great product. But the modality of the interface is a huge challenge. It never seems to work the same way for me. 

An associate of mine has even more experience with it and I’m going to sit down with him and see how much of this is me and how much is Miro. My problem with using software is i like relatively few rules that you use as appropriate instead of what appears (to me) to be lots of special cases.

yes. i’d like an option for that. i’ve asked if this were possible and were told it wasn’t. that i could use the start view.

so every miro board i have starts with how to get the sidebar with frames up.

seems silly and easy to fix. request made over a year ago. 

actually, it’s not working. It fails like i had thought. But it looks like it’s more of a bug than bad design.

Probably because they have an option when no option should be present.   agghh!
