Hi Fibery team
!
We gathered feedback from teams that use the boards extremely actively and extensively—as one of their primary work tools. We tried to draft proposals to enhance the board’s capabilities in Fibery.
1. Navigation speed and comfort (Main issue)
Part of our team moved to Fibery from Figma, and the main thing causing resistance is not missing features — it’s that moving! around the board and zooming feel slower and less responsive and laggy.
And two specific things:
1.1 Faster zoom, or a zoom sensitivity setting. The current zoom step is too small. On a large board it takes a long time to get to the scale you need
.
1.2 Quick zoom to the selected object, for exmple on a key like Z. Cmd+1 zooms to fit the whole board and Cmd+0 gives 100%, but what we need is “show me what I just selected”.
People compare Fibery to Figma on how fast they can move around, not on what the tool can do.
2. Problems
2.1 Changes are lost when the internet connection drops
If something happens to the connection while saving, the changes are not saved and disappear completely from the open tab. No warning, no way to get them back. One person hit this three times in a short period — she came back to the board and her work was gone.
2.2 Links inside a card don’t work when the card is opened from the whiteboard
We put links to other objects on whiteboard inside the task spec (Rich Text). If we open the task by clicking its card on the whiteboard and then click a link, nothing happens — the linked object doesn’t open. We don’t jump to object.
2.3 Stickers look blurry or render at the wrong scale after active zooming
After zooming in and out for a while, stickers become blurry or are drawn at a wrong scale.
2.4 A new section doesn’t pick up objects if it’s created over an existing section
If we have two stickers and draw a section over them, they get included — that works.But if the stickers are already inside a section and we draw another section over them, the new section doesn’t pick them up. It looks like nesting breaks the capture behavior.
2.5 Object moves are not in Activity and can’t be restored
Deleted objects are handled well — they show up in Activity and can be restored. Moves are not: they aren’t logged in Activity at all, so an accidental move can’t be undone once you reload the page, come back in a new session, or if someone else moved the object.
This actually happened to us: zoom glitched while the cursor was over a rectangle holding all the planned tasks, and the rectangle was thrown far outside the working area. It took about 20 minutes to find it in a completely different part of the board, and there was nothing in Activity to roll it back.
**3. Extra Ideas
3.1 Colors for entity cards on the whiteboard**
Task cards on the board are always grey. We’d like to color them by a field — status in our case — so the board can be read at a glance.Color rules already exist in Timeline, Map, Board and Gallery views.
3.2 Buttons actions in the three dot menu on the board with entities
It would help to have buttons available in the menu of a entity on the board. For example to copy card (regular copy or duplication too simple for us and we have custom buttons for this)
3.3 Text size presets for whiteboard objects
Presets like S / M / L / XL, or a Header option, for text objects on the board. Right now setting up a readable hierarchy of labels takes a lot of manual resizing.**
