Can I vibecode Miro?
// buildable in a weekend, but real gaps stay open
A simple multiplayer whiteboard is doable; Miro's value is scale, templates, integrations, facilitation, permissions, and reliability with many users.
confidence: high
what it is: Online collaborative whiteboard for diagrams, workshops, and planning

The moat outweighs the price: rebuilding this is a project, not an evening.
Gioco editoriale: il verdetto dice se un agente può, l’indice se conviene.
What you build
Build a canvas with sticky notes, shapes, connectors, comments, and optional multiplayer sync.
what you need
- canvas library
- WebSocket/collab backend
- database
- auth
- hosting
- optional template library
Good kinda because open-source makes the demo fast but production/workshop depth remains.
The prompt
A weekend with a coding agent. The gaps that stay are right below, under “what you lose”.
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. Prompt generated from the data on this page, not reviewed by hand yet. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.
What you lose
- large-board performance
- templates
- integrations
- facilitation tools
- permissions
- enterprise controls
Why people still pay
They pay for workshops where dozens of people can join and everything still works.

Who has already built it
Starting from here is still vibecoding: the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
- tldraw (opens in a new tab) — Open-source canvas/whiteboard SDK and app; excellent prior art for DIY whiteboards. (alive)
What it costs in a year
10 $/mese 120 $/anno
Listino 10 $ al mese a persona su Miro. L’anno è dodici mesi pieni, senza sconti annuali.
