Top 20 apps on Miro users’ wish-list

We know finding inspiration can be tough. We’re making it easier by showing you some of the most popular, most upvoted ideas. These ideas are already vetted, wanted by tons of users, and just waiting to be built.

Any of them are eligible, regardless of whether you use the REST API, Web SDK, Live Embed, or a combination of the three — don’t hesitate to get creative!

  1. Find and replace text
    An app or integration that has the ability to find/search text on a Miro board and replace it based on search criteria/desired input.
    Suggestion: Use our REST API’s GET items or text endpoints, or the Web SDK’s `get` method by type.
  2. Translator
    An app or integration that has the ability to read text on a Miro board and replace it with translated text.
    Suggestion: Use our REST API’s GET items or text endpoints, or the Web SDK’s `get` method by type.
  3. Markdown
