    When it comes to visualizing tasks in a project, everyone has used the standard task views (kanban, list, timeline, etc.). But what about a canvas view? We’re now creating these board-based “tech trees” in every project we run inside of Whimsical. It’s a more visual way of viewing the tasks in a project and how they relate to each other. You have the flexibility of the canvas so you can do things like group related tasks, show dependencies and progressions, and mark milestones. You can also open the task directly from the canvas to read or update it. The card color is synced to the task status so you can easily understand how things are progressing. The tasks are still available in a more traditional, structured task view (e.g. kanban / list) if things like filtering or sorting are needed.

  • You can now change a team’s visibility - anytime. Before, teams in Whimsical had to be set to open or private at creation. Now, you can toggle between the two whenever you need from team settings. 🌐 Open teams = visible and joinable by anyone in your workspace 🔒 Private teams = invite-only and hidden from view More flexibility. Less friction. Just how it should be. See how it works 👇 

  • Posts drastically reduce meetings and distracting chat pings in our day-to-day. They hit the sweet spot between Slack and a doc. Instead of interrupting teammates’ focus with unnecessary meetings or DMs, we use Posts for async updates and discussions that everyone can read and respond to at their preferred time. And if you made it this far, check out the image below for a sneak peek at what we’re working on this cycle—including task IDs and toggleable headings and lists. 😉

  • Tired of bouncing between Notion, Miro, and Jira just to get work done? 👀 See why teams switch to Whimsical: https://lnkd.in/g-24iRjd Fragmented tools packed with features you don’t use = scattered thinking, slower decisions, and constant context switching. Whimsical combines projects, boards, and docs into one streamlined space—so your team can build momentum instead of losing it. And while Notion + Miro + Jira can cost $25+/month per editor, Whimsical does it all for just $10/month per editor.
