Partially, but why is that a problem?

#4Tried Miro once.
Wasn’t a whiteboard replacement.
Wasn’t design software.
Wasn’t a PM tool.
Even when the Miro power users would bust it out in meetings, it was always so painful to watch.
I don’t know what the point of Miro really was. There was a time Figma was doing something similar (FigJam), so maybe there was a trend for a sec.
No idea why or how it’s worth over a billion dollars.
Anyone reading this going “Noooo not Miro!!!” ?

It was a great whiteboarding tool for teams. Planning, research, meetings, standups etc. IMO they tried to cater to too many use cases at once, missed the AI train, and focused too hard on enterprise, which hurt the product a lot.

I personally loved Miro, probably one of the best design tools I've ever used.
My old company used it across the board for basically, everything. Engineering flow diagrams, UI prototyping, team retrospectives.
I personally often used it for creating diagrams that I would later insert into slide decks.
It was basically a swiss-army knife type tool which could be applied in so many situations.
Deeply saddened that it's going to Bendingspoons, where companies go to die.

Yeah, me. I've used it every day for years. With a hybrid/remote team it is a fantastic alternative to a physical whiteboard. Whole team uses it.
I don't care for or use any of the AI features.
I hope the price doesn't go up dramatically.

I know a lot of people who used it for one or both of these. Also for architecture/system design (ie. not UI - although I guess some used it for user journey or wireframing).

They are heavily debt financed I believe, almost $5 billion worth last I checked.
