Mural Raises $23M to Reimagine Visual Collaboration

I used Miro for years and loved it. Now my company has Mural, which is better for creating presentations, but not as good as Miro at being an actual collaborative space.

This sums it up better than the official tagline. We're using Mural for remote sprint retros: creating notes, moving them around and voting

I really like Mural and am definitely cheering for them.

They really get UX. It's hard to explain how fluid and useful their product is until you try it. Nothing else I've experienced comes close for:

- quickly and meaningfully getting ideas on a screen

- freely organizing information in nonlinear space

- understanding where other viewers attention is at, and marshalling it to where it needs to be, in a group setting.

I use it both for personal brainstorming and in meetings, and it's great.

One wish -- if anyone from Mural is reading this -- would be better export tools. The current situation where I ask for an export, I get an email with a link later (which expires!), etc, is super silly. I'd much rather you make my browser hang for a few seconds, honestly -- taking me out of flow is super irritating. (If this is intentional, to make exporting harder and build a walled garden -- stop it / don't bother! Your product is already good; I'm exporting PDFs to attach to emails for (vigorous handwaving) Reasons; I will tell people to come back to your product to edit and collab in the second email to them!)
