@rifaterdemsahin @MiroHQ @rifaterdemsahin Great question. It's a personal project and I haven't got to that yet. Reordering is a top feature request. You're the first person to ask for Search. 😀

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

@rifaterdemsahin @MiroHQ @rifaterdemsahin Are you aware of the Bookmarks app in the @MiroHQ Marketplace? Is that what you had in mind? https://t.co/ZBNnWXNkMW

I've had the opportunity to contribute to a few Product Mgmt events and podcasts now and then, but it's been a long time since I've gone deeper on Platforms and their particular challenges. So it was a real pleasure to chat with @nachobassino on the topic recently. Thanks Nacho!

💡 How Miro Creates Platform Strategies
Platforms are everywhere. The challenges they present for strategy are pretty nuanced, ranging from defining complex success metrics to understanding how to align with the larger company strategy. 🧵👇

@mseckington @adrianh Hi Melinda. Sorry to hear that. If you're open to roles based in Amsterdam or Berlin, @MiroHQ has a number of open Engineering leadership roles, including EMs and a VP of Engineering. Thanks!

"It seems totally incredible to me now that everyone spent that evening as though it were just like any other. From the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance. It all seemed so safe and tranquil."

It’s weird to sit in a restaurant or something and look around and realize nobody knows what’s about to happen with AI.

It’s like you know aliens exist and nobody else knows.

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

@adamd I vote for @MiroHQ, because of course I would. But I do so with a clear conscience because I genuinely believe it's world class. 😎

@erickoleda @AFarnsy @MiroHQ @0h_look @coda_hq @figma @erickoleda So would we! Let's talk!

[Pablo Stanley @pablostanley]

This is the power of open-sourcing design and choosing a CC0 license for some of your work. You nudge other makers to create awesome, useful stuff for everyone.

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

Building apps like these allows me to empathise with the @MiroHQ dev experience, from Hello World to Marketplace. I can spot sharp edges, while building demos to use internally and with customers. If you're a Platform PM you need to make time to build, or you're flying blind.

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

I hope it's a given that PMs & Product leaders should be power users of their product. For developer products, that means you need to build with them.

In this spirit, here are 3 apps I've built for @MiroHQ, that you can now use. Bookmarks, Shared Selections, and Avataaars. 1/5

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

Give your meetings and presentations some personality using the Avataaars app for @MiroHQ. Choose from a range of skin tones, hair, headwear, and clothing before adding your avatar to the board. Uses the Avataaars library by @pablostanley.

@sapanhdesai @jamescmartinez @MiroHQ We use @readme for the reference docs. I'll let @AnthonyRoux_ explain how we extended on those foundations for the Developer Hub.

[Thor Mitchell @ThorMitchell]

@jamescmartinez Thanks James! All the credit for the Miro Developer Hub, which includes the guided onboarding journeys, goes to the Developer Experience team at @MiroHQ.

As a result, I'd best defer to @AnthonyRoux, the Product Lead for the team, who can share more details as to their process.
