Whiteboards that know about your real entities.
Persistent infinite boards for event-storming, process flows, mindmaps, brainstorming. Drop your actual m18t solutions, features, models, content, and events onto the canvas as live nodes — not labelled stickies that go stale the day after the workshop.
Figma Jam is a separate silo.
Most teams use Miro or Figma Jam or Excalidraw for planning. The board has labelled stickies that say things like "User Auth" and "Onboarding Flow." Six months later the stickies are still saying the same things while the actual User Auth feature has changed three times. The board becomes a frozen snapshot of how the team understood the product at one workshop.
m18t whiteboards solve this by letting you drop the actual entity onto the canvas. The "User Auth" sticky becomes a live reference to the User Auth feature in PD. When the feature's status changes, the node reflects it. When you click the node, you open the entity. The whiteboard stays in sync with the product.
A whiteboard that's structurally adjacent to your real entities doesn't go stale.
Workshops, mindmaps, planning sessions — without the silo.
Event storming
Drop your PD events as nodes; arrange the timeline; map which controllers emit them. Output: a sequence that survives the workshop because the events are still in your platform.
Process flows
Map the user journey through your product, with the actual content pieces, emails, and analytics events visible at each step.
Mindmaps
Brainstorm freeform with stickies and shapes. Promote any sticky to an entity later (a future feature node, a planned content piece).
Architecture discussions
Drop your PD solutions, features, models onto the board to show engineers and stakeholders the actual product graph.
Capabilities
Infinite persistent canvas
Pan and zoom on a virtually unlimited canvas. Auto-saved per board.
Sticky, shape, text node types
Standard whiteboard primitives — color-customizable stickies, square/circle/diamond shapes, free text labels.
Entity nodes wrap real m18t entities
Drop a solution, feature, model, content piece, or event as a live node. Click to open the entity. Status badge updates automatically.
Edges with arrows
Connect nodes with directional edges. Useful for flows, dependencies, sequences.
Brand-scoped
Each board belongs to a brand. Switch brands to see that brand's boards. Entity nodes can only reference entities in the same brand.
Thumbnail previews
Each board generates a thumbnail for the boards-list view.
Whiteboards link out to everything.
PD entities can be dropped onto whiteboards as live nodes. Planning and architecture in one canvas.
Event storming is the killer use case. Drop your registered events onto a board and map the timeline.
Drop content pieces onto a board to map a campaign or a content calendar visually.
Where whiteboards stand.
Solid today
- — Persistent boards per brand
- — Sticky, shape, text, entity node types
- — Entity nodes wrap real m18t entities
- — Auto-save
- — Thumbnail previews
Rough today
- — Single-author at a time (no live multiplayer)
- — Export-to-image is screenshot-only
Coming
- — More entity node types as use cases emerge
- — Templates for common workshops (event storming, process map)
Real-time multiplayer is not on the immediate roadmap — see what we're choosing not to build.
