Every inconsistency like this undermines confidence in the product. Why is coloring logic different for shapes than for sticky notes if not due to limiting design in the Miro code base? Why can I only tag shapes and not sticky notes? Why can’t I group objects in a table? etc etc

We use a lot of real-world sticky notes and now as we try and move them to a virtual world with Miro we find restrictions. For example, in our real-world systems we find that square sticky notes rotated 90 degrees to be diamonds are an effective visual artifact. So, here is our journey

1. Draw a diamond shape
2. Put a sticky note behind the diamond
3. Tag the sticky note (because we can’t tag shapes)
4. Move the sticky note and diamond outside the table (because we can’t group within tables)
5. Group the sticky note and diamond
6. Move the combined shape back into the table
7. Then when adding a new tag, we have to move the space outside the table, ungroup it, rinse & repeat

Even if you can’t fix this litany of problems improving sticky note consistency with shapes would help,

1. Allow shapes to be tagged, and/or,
2. Give sticky notes the same color palette as shapes, and/or,
3. Allow group inside a table

I’m sure you can do better than the current state.
