I’m really appreciating how Intelligent Widgets can bring order to a board, and simplify commonly used functionality in a facilitation setting. New users’ first interactions with Miro often involve ideating with sticky notes in a group setting. I wondered whether a dispenser of infinite stickies might simplify that experience (if the facilitator has provided a stack of blank notes, what do I do when they run out?).

The most basic implementation of this could be a dispenser which shows a single sticky note. When the note is clicked and dragged, there’s already another in its place. I could imagine other versions where a random colour is generated, or a colour specified by an Editor. Maybe a size option, or just have the widget scaleable? I think it always makes sense to dispense a single sticky note, as if there were any customisation options then multiple instances could be dropped on the board and configured individually.

This would be super helpful in different settings. At the same time, I imagine it challenging when multiple collaborators on the same board simultaneously try to select and drag a sticky note as this would be blocked for whoever is trying to get their next sticky...

Just found this today - ‘Stack’ under the stickies icon in the toolbar.

I’m not sure if it came about due to this suggestion, or whether it’s just a great coincidence, but wonderful stuff - thanks devs!

Nice!  Very happy to see this new widget finally roll out.  I only wish that there was an option to switch the stack to a wide sticky.  Also odd that they don’t allow you to select a default size (S, M, or L). 

If the point of the sticky stack is to reduce user friction and save steps, you’d think that there would be more settings to establish the preferred default for each stack.  If I still have to spend time changing the shape and size of every sticky, that’s not much of a time-saver.
