Whiteboard improvements ideas 💫

Hi guys, I’m sharing below a few ideas of improvements on the Whiteboard tool.

I’ve been using Whimsical for years and there are a lot of great stuff there.

At the same time, there are a lot of great stuff in Fibery Whiteboard. The possibility to reduce the amount of tools is awesome. The possibility to add entities and make the Whiteboard alive is really awesome. I’m already structuring my processes inside Fibery Whiteboard. It’s already usable. With a few ideas below, I guess it could be even better.

Add Pill Shape option
This is a great visual aid for processes that would be awesome if it could be added.

Faster pan movement / sensitivity
When I compare the panning movement to other whiteboards, Fibery seems slower. It gives me an impression that the Whiteboard is slow. However, it looks like it’s only a sensitivity configuration. It would be awesome if it could be a bit faster.

Improve padding on Diamond Shape that sometimes get too close tho the border

Whimsical:

Sometimes the shapes will use the “wrong text color”

Hold “Z” and Right Click / Left Click on Whiteboard to to Zoom On / Zoom Out
Like in Whimsical, holding the keyboard “Z” and Left click will Zoom In. Them same would happen for holding the keyboard “Z” and Right click will Zoom Out.

Snap to Grid and Show Guides by default
I noticed this is not the default standard configuration, however, any whiteboard out there starts with those options on. I even thought Fibery didn’t have these features, but then I realized I could torn them on.

Anyway, having to turn them on every single time is a bit annoying.

As soon as I get more ideas, I’ll share with you :slight_smile:

Thanks for the Whiteboard.

These are some good ideas from Whimsical that you bring, and explain very well! I agree that all of these would be steps forward.

Also agree that the Whiteboard is good already, it has seen quite some improvement in the last year, but nice to see how things keep developing - and I believe ideas like these are helpful!

Whiteboard improvements I’m always a fan of. :slight_smile:
Overall I agree, just with the grid, as I posted elsewhere, I would prefer to have a better one and have it all turned on, and snapping turned off. With a good grid, snapping is quite superfluous. :wink:

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much! I knew you all would figure it out. :blush:

Keep up the amazing work! I haven’t been this excited about software in a long time, and Fibery has really sparked that passion again.
