I don't understand the whole "folks from X use this" part. Can anyone put that something is used by Oracle or Amazon?
And do those just come from email domain names?

#32I love it! I could see myself using it to document event storming sessions, impact maps, Wardley maps, etc. That said, I found it a little buggy at the moment. A couple of bugs I noticed were that scrolling too quickly to the right produced an error, and the 'flag' box rendered some of the text outside of the box. A tiny usability improvement for me would be if the buttons behaved more like Photoshop or Omnigraffle,…
Not to take away from OPs product announcement at all but recently I ran a remote event storming workshop using https://miro.com/ with a standard "whiteboard" and their regular postits feature.
The sizing and color options, the simple way some small things in the UX works to make grabbing a postit fast, and coloring it correctly was really, really surprisingly nice

#33Looks like a Miro (former realtime board) clone to me. What is the differentiator?
Having used Miro and Realtime Board when I first saw this I thought they'd decided to change their name again

#34I like it and may use it. Needs an API and Zapier integration.

#35The home page style and screenshots look extremely similar to previous versions of RealtimeBoard/Miro. To the point that I thought it was a product from the same company.
Make sure to communicate the differentiator, perhaps change the visual style of the home page. In the current state it looks like a clone.

#36No screenshots on the main page. The embedded video isn't clickable on mobile (iOS Safari). Fluffy marketing speak throughout the page. What is this exactly?
Agreed: I was hoping for a succinct description of the product, but only found empty marketting words. I am not yet interested in who uses the product, but in what the product is. Don't try to tell me it will change my life before I actually know what it is. Granted, I only skimmed the page, and the website made the experience painful, as it is full of fade—in animations, so I felt like I was scrolling an empty wwbsi…
I read the page top to bottom. I don't know what it is. Is it an online OneNote?
I don't know what the things you build with it are for.

Someone at a big tech company once told me that they knew the one person (or maybe they were the one person) who used a particular product, and were thus the rationale for that product to put their company logo on the front page.
It really says nothing about the product or its suitability for anything. They just want an excuse to stick recognizable names/logos on their homepage.

#38Please add middle mouse to pan if you're going to have horizontal boards.

Yeah I thought the same thing. This one does have a better homepage though, so props to the design team/FE engineers/marketing team for that.

I like holding space bar to grab and then pan with the mouse.
