Automatically arranging and inserting items into a Frame using “grid mode” was one of my favorite features of Miro, and I was shocked to find it is being deprecated. I wish there was more information on the cryptic note that it “did not work as expected” as a justification for removing it, but alas.
I used this constantly for doing exercises like card sorting and visually collating notes and references into buckets. Auto resizing tables works horribly for this (especially with URL links). It requires too much precision, it is a pain to try to actually move a table around, and I don’t always want buckets immediately adjacent, etc. I certainly do not have the patience to manually ask Miro to arrange or snap to grid every time I add something.
I’m on my knees begging for a version of this feature to be restored or replaced with similar functionality. Ideally we could have something like a “buckets” or “cluster” object that we can easily and crudely drag-and-drop objects onto (or insert between existing objects) with a categorical label and (optional?) bounding background.
I find this critical for doing virtual brainstorming, sorting, and ongoing reference/idea collection.
