Can I vibecode Miro?
KINDA · weekend projectA simple multiplayer whiteboard is doable; Miro's value is scale, templates, integrations, facilitation, permissions, and reliability with many users.
Build me a personal whiteboard app to replace Miro. Requirements: - Do not write a canvas engine from scratch: build on the tldraw SDK (React + Vite). It already does shapes, sticky notes, connectors, and selection well. - A local web app on localhost:4900 with a board picker: named boards with thumbnails, create, rename, delete. - Each board autosaves its tldraw snapshot JSON to SQLite (better-sqlite3 behind a small Express API) 2 seconds after the last change, keeping the previous 20 snapshots as undo insurance. - A toolbar button exports the current board as PNG and SVG to ~/Whiteboards/<board-name>.png. - A template row on the new-board screen seeded from JSON files in templates/: retro grid, brainstorm columns, weekly plan. - Works fully offline, binds to localhost, no accounts, no telemetry. - Optional: share-with-one-person mode over my private network using tldraw's sync package, two cursors max. Skip it if it costs more than an hour. - Out of scope: workshop facilitation tools (timers, voting), integrations, and performance tuning for 50-person boards. This is my thinking canvas, not a venue. - README: dev and build commands, and where board data lives on disk.

Can I vibecode Miro?
Kinda. The core of Miro is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: large-board performance, templates. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does Miro cost?
Miro costs about $10/month (Starter, checked 2026-07-30), which is $120 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Miro?
Honestly: large-board performance; templates; integrations; facilitation tools; permissions; enterprise controls. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Miro?
Yes: Excalidraw (The best simple escape hatch for collaborative diagrams, workshops, and planning: fast, free, local-first, and pleasantly uninterested in becoming Salesforce.) AFFiNE (An integrated canvas, docs, databases, and planning workspace for teams willing to accept a younger product and real self-hosting chores.) CryptPad (Encrypted collaborative whiteboards with persistent folders, permissions, and sharing; fewer templates, far better data boundaries.) All 5 curated free alternatives are at canivibecodeit.com/miro/alternatives. The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
