I’m using Miro to brainstorm, diagram and plan a creative writing fantasy fiction novel. It would help immensely if you offered templates for the types of concept and mind maps, diagrams, character profiles, character relationship maps, research, worldbuiding, project plans, timelines and so on that I’m reinventing from scratch with each new portion of the novel creation and refinement process.

 

Not an ad. I have no affiliation with Miranote besides trying their demo once, just now. Please see the website of this similar endless digital collaboration whiteboard service and how it markets itself specifically to creative types, with templates for Mood Boards, Novel Plans, Character Profiles, and so on. It seems to offer very similar base features as Miro, but with a different target audience / user base. Link: milanote

I see an obvious opportunity for Miro to widen your userbase and marketing plan to include users like me, as Milanote does, with a creative bent. I don't know enough about marketing or sales to make a reasonable guess to how difficult officially including writers, designers and creative directors would be.

Programs and services like Campfire, World Anvil and others are even more tailored to fiction writers, tabletop role-playing gamers, and world-builders like me. Their focus is even more specific, but w lot of Campfire’s functions could be more flexibly and visually represented with Miro. There is clearly a market and demand for this seemingly niche use case. Think of authors like Brandon Sanderson, one of my favorites, and how very many things he could diagram with Miro with an endless whiteboard!!

I believe adding templates wouldn't be a highly demanding task? It would save me and people like me so much time and twiddly custom reinvention of diagrams, charts, and mind maps. Please do consider it. 

Thank you! I love Miro and hope to keep using it for many purposes for many years to come! Recommending to fellow authors, TTRPG players and people who love mind mapping and color coded organizational beauty.
