Good times last night at the local #OPA meetup in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 I had a blast talking about linting #Rego with #Regal, and getting to meet folks in the community. Thanks @parcifal, @adamsand0r for hosting it, and #Miro and #Styra for sponsoring.
Question for the #Teachers out there, esp. in #HigherEd: anyone have a favorite digital tool for #Storyboarding research projects that I could share with my Historical #Research and #Writing students?
I am teaching this course for the second time this spring and would like to require storyboarding, as described in the Turabian manual, as part of the process. I am doing this as part of an effort to give a bit more structure to the process of finding a topic, developing a question, developing hypotheses, fleshing out an argument, etc. beyond having them complete a worksheet or write a paragraph every step of the way. Something that is genuinely useful as part of the project's development.
Something like #Miro but maybe more approachable, less corporate?
Maybe I'm behind the times but I just came across https://www.tldraw.com/ and it looks amazing. If you're familiar with #Miro then it's basically an open source Miro clone.
In essence, an infinite digital whiteboard that you can add anything to.
According to the docs https://tldraw.dev/ you can "use the Tldraw React component to embed a fully featured and extendable whiteboard in your app." That's very cool.
The latest version of #Excalidraw looks like it is starting to become a true open alternative to #Miro for collaborative sketching and sticky notes sessions.
Plenty cool features, #FOSS, self-hostable, stores stuff locally / syncs encrypted, save & export, etc.
When I delightedly exclaim they are becoming like #Miro alternatives, then there's also the addition of ".. for #FOSS minded folks first of all" who are prepared to deal with some extra effort and rough edges.
For non-technical folks Miro still has an ease-of-use / intuitiveness that make e.g. a sticky notes session a frictionless breeze.
Tooltime: Is there a way that #Miro themes can be handled in #Mural?
Searched the internet but couldn’t find anything, yet.
In my new job they work with Mural.
I'm attending Miro's annual online community event, Distributed '23, on October 18 and I want you to join me to see the new releases, share ideas, and learn from top minds in 20+ inspiring sessions.
Only feedback after watching the vid: Please, don't let AI handle #a11y .. maybe take inspiration from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson (Google Doc 😬 link at the bottom): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612696
@somesteph it's a whiteboard software similar to #miro if you know it. When downloading Figma, you can also use FigJam. Check out the link for more info: https://www.figma.com/figjam/
It's pretty dope cause this way participants become part of my presentation. They also offer to unlock the (closed beta?) version with screen reader support and alt-text.
Feedback has been great so far, much more fun than slide presentations 🙂
