Hey guys,
I love Miro so much. I am so happy I discovered you guys. It’s completely changed the way that I think my way through my own personal creative projects. I recently found myself in a situation where I wanted to log some thoughts to my personal board, but wasn’t near a computer so I used the mobile app and I have some suggestions:
On desktop we can do focus mode to expand docs and other inserts to full screen -- I’m confused as to why this isn’t a standard feature on the app yet? Automatically resize to the smartphone aspect ratio, make it easier to navigate, seems like a no-brainer. This would be extremely useful when I’m on the go and trying to use Miro effectively with just my smartphone and a small bluetooth keyboard on-hand.
This brings me to my second point: I think for documents, it would be incredibly helpful if on my dashboard page (where I’m shown all of my boards), there was a dropdown ticker next to the board names that when triggered, would drop-down a list of docs inside that board (sorted by recently changed, name, or type). This could further reduce the stress I personally go through on the mobile app of “Oh I have an idea”, then I have to zoom out, pan, look for the doc I’m putting notes in for that thing, zoom in, tap, tap, pan some more, type, pan.
But imagine if that process was, “Oh, I’ve got an idea for that doc!” I open the Miro app, drop-down the board I’m thinking of, scroll down to the title of the doc I’m thinking of, click on it, and it opens in mobile focus mode. Tangentially, this could be expanded to be how you duplicate (or move) various documents across boards, right from the dash.
My last though was this: Miro takes place on an infinite canvas and I’d love to pull some of that to the home screen of my device… in the form of a widget. I’m picturing an even quicker way to take notes: We have a doc on the canvas that’s connected to a widget. Could be a to-do list, a plain text doc, I think there’s a lot of room for creativity in how you could create widgets linked to board elements so that in those REAL moments of inspiration I have even faster access to getting it out of my brain and on to my board.
If the product team ever wants to reach out to me to ask me further about this or get my thoughts in general about Miro I’m more than happy to get on a zoom call or something for a bit to give further feedback. Love helping teams building my favorite apps like this. Thanks in advance for reading my wishlist ideas!
