Please give us (scientists) better tools for working with PDF's!

Miro could be *everything I need* in terms of being a ‘frictionless ideation workspace’ if it would just up its game in terms of handling PDF’s.  I know management says ‘we’re not a content management system’ but others in this space have

 

  • built-in readers, or at least, faster loading of a reader/editor that integrates seemlessly (see ‘the brain’
  • instantiation (so you can have ‘replicas’ that are synced in different areas of your workspace),
  • excerpting functions (so you can cut out an excerpt, and then ‘preview’ where that excerpt came from in the PDF).  Check out the way ‘Muse’ handles this - it’s gorgeous (but they are platform-restricted)…

There are a LOT of scientists like me who need a whiteboard that can do more than just product design and new product ideation.  That means being able to bring our content (papers, figures, etc.) into this workspace and not have them be frozen statues…

 

Thanks, 

Eric
