Whimsical Projects - Visual project management using sticky notes

While the UI is way nicer than other diagramming/kanban tools, I've been making diagrams with it and it just can't match up feature wise to other, cheaper offerings like LucidChart. If you need a quick flowchart it's great, and I'm using it for that, but it's too pricey for me to replace something else!

Pros:

Nice UI, easy to use

Cons:

Feature light for the price

I've been using Whimsical for a few months now, and it's such an extensible tool that provides ridiculously good value for product teams. We use it for sharing mental models, design/brand documentation, user flows, mockups and more. From tinkering with these sticky notes, it looks like we'll probably use this to organise our roadmap as well. No more faffing about between trello/notion/google docs etc. Congrats folks, looks great

Very nice. We're currently using a number of products that do similar things (lucidchart/trello/realtimeboard) but the option to have all these tools rolled into one, with the cost saving that comes with this, is really interesting.

I've been using Whimsical for a spell now with my team, primarily for flow diagrams and some wireframing, but have been extra excited to see how their amazingly simple design would play out in Sticky Notes. Looks like they hit the mark upon first glance! Keep it up team, Denver for the win!

Would love the availability for folks to copy text directly from wireframes when I send them a share link (I use this for content wireframes), but other than that Whimsical is my go-to tool for wireframes now!

Pros:

Easy to use & adding new features at an awesome pace

Cons:

None that I've found.

I agree with all the other positive feedback - very simple and easy to use! I needed to get a userflow done and finished within 30 minutes compared to another tool that would have taken me much longer. I was able to focus on the information I needed to enter and drag and drop things into place - whether then trying to figure out how the mechanics to connect flows. Love it!

Looks like an amazingly powerful tool. I’d love to see a native app, mobile, and the ability to use safari. Still hoping for great results in the future. L

Awesome! Seriously, if you would have launched this a few weeks earlier we wouldn't have to build LeanBoard ! Launched on Producthunt today as well 😅 a simple sticky note tool was definitely missing!

I enjoy using whimsical for charts and wireframes. I've used it successfully on a couple UX projects for sitemaps and simple wires. I currently actively use and pay for a competing product for organzing my other projects because of it's extensive features and capabilities. For whimsical, the addition of these stickies is perfect because it enables me to do task analysis and project management in a better interface. I'm considering switching entirely to whimsical now. I haven't tried it in every scenario but it looks so nice and peaceful.

Pros:

Simple and attractive UI,

Focused product features done really well

Free-form organziation of project processes

Live collaboration

Cons:

Focused feature sets aren't for everyone:

No PDF export,

No free-form drawing,

No Templates,

No integrations with dropbox, drive, or adobe

I logged into PH after maybe 2 years out just to upvote this thing. The article about why you shouldn't wireframe in sketch is spot on true and the product is delivering 100% of what it promises. Nice!

Pros:

Easy to use, accurate, modern, fast.

Cons:

none
