Hexagon shape padding issue and card-like commentability

Hi, 

Hexagon-based facilitation is on a steep rise, and Miro is being left out of this race for a very simple reason: The padding in hexagon shapes is just horrible (compared to e.g. Mural).

What I would like to have is room that lets you fill in the whole shape – or at least more of it. Otherwise, you need to (manually!) play with font size, and with very small font, you need to constantly zoom in to see the content, thus missing the big picture. This has also been flagged in other conversations.

Here are two ways of doing hexies in Miro: right is the hexagon shape, middle is the flowchart shape. 

 

Compare with Mural image posted in the link above:

I need to fit more text into hexies but it would be a pain to switch whiteboarding tools for such a small-seeming issue. 

A perfect workflow would allow one to use the API to create hexagon shapes, which have a visible text (font size autofitted like in sticky notes), and a card-like comment/definition section, where you could include more context.

Please help us help others!

I support Matti’s proposal, as I am also regularly facilitating workshops where hexagons are being used, and my company are using Miro as their whiteboard/collaboration tool.

Also supporting Matti’s proposal. Hexagons are the best shape, and need more love.

Really good for facilitation because they break people out of ordered blocks of squares.
