We used whimsical in school for flow charts, journey maps, simple user personas, and even card sorting! I love whimsical and think its a super easy tool :)

[@MoeDesigns]

Love that you're doing this and also in Toronto. Building my portfolio as well and taking lessons from your videos

[@haejinsuh]

Oh my goodness I wish knew this before starting. Thank you so much!!!

[@csa6568]

Thank you for sharing, Femke. Whimsical is a very good tool! Easily to communicate and share with clients when they do not have the tools. Also they can comment, which helps the productitivities. Now my clients are building their things in Whimsical. What a lovely collaboration!

[@dalemoore387]

I love Whimsical and use it for pretty much everything. It's a great tool. Love your intro!

[@femkedesign]

thank you!!

[@sakshamgoel9699]

I use Miro tool.. it has more templates like- Customer journey maps, empathy map, user persona etc. along with the ones which you mentioned in the video🙂 Nice video btw👍

[@alexjthurman]

Miro is so helpful!

[@hengyin1208]

Whimsical is much much faster than Miro

[@Kazane828]

Oh yeah, thanks for your efforts recording this kind if videos. Btw, I using it for 2 years already, amazing tool which helps you as a designer a lot ;)

[@treesmadeclear]

Thanks very much for doing this. It's been really helpful to organise my dyslexic mind for developing 'the offer' for my business from Alex Hormozi's book. All the best.

Thanks for sharing -I’m new to the design world so seeing reviews for tools that designers use is super helpful! I’ve also listened to a few of your podcasts with CharliMarie and really enjoy both of your energies and openness in those discussions!

[@alyssarollinson5543]

As usual. Thanks Femke! Looks like an amazing tool that I will play around this week :)

[@AshishKumar-si6mo]

Very insightful and helpful. Keep making them please. It helps people like me who are trying to get in to design field. Thank you

[@ranya6248]

This video is gold, thank you Femke

[@femkedesign]

So glad to hear it!

[@bamidelefawehinmi8982]

Really wonderful video, the flowchart section helps a lot.

[@Arydrin]

Just love this tool, simple enough to grab it, draw some user flows and/or wireframes, export them into a keynote deck and done. For free. 🤷🏻🤗

[@melquicarvalho]

I'm gonna use this for sure, thanks Femke!

[@luizuk4]

I was using Notion and Figma, the whimsical is the tool that works in the gap of that two, thanks for sharing knowledge!

[@femkedesign]

You're welcome!

[@bradford-vts]

Can you export to jpg or png to use in a publication?

[@uncleope]

This is so informative Femke 💯💯

[@justBorja]

Whimsical looks great! I haven't used it but in our team we use MetroRetro for our sticky notes 😊 Definitely giving Whimsical a try for my flows

[@ChristianPrince-1]

did they remove the userflow??

[@elenamalakhina160]

Hello! You may use the Autoflow plugin in Figma to create the same arrows that will follow your frames anywhere if you decide to move frames. This plugin allows you to change the form/color/arrow' type, to round corners and etc.

[@manou1409]

Whimsical is just marvelous

[@femkedesign]

Isn't it!

[@nicoleluo6692]

I tried Figma, Miro and this one. Whimsical is the best!

[@jyotsnarane2341]

I've manually drawn boxes and arrows in Figma 🤦🏻‍♀️ will definitely try out whimsical now, thanks a ton for sharing!

[@TuneAddikt]

There's some great Figma plugins that do specifically what this does

[@TuneAddikt]

Have you looked at any Figma plugins which do this?

[@TuneAddikt]

@@femkedesign there's a few floating about I think. Thanks for sharing btw. Loving your content. Chur Kiwi ;)

[@uditmaitra]

This is really cool, thanks for sharing @femke 👍

[@krupalipatel7528]

This is so cool tool...Thank you for sharing.

[@Gabriellatrice]

WOW this is such a helpful tool!!

[@furquanahmad4657]

Great video! I've used Balsamiq previously for wireframing which is great product and serves the same need. There's also some pretty cool Figma community kits for wireframes and flows.

[@cema.3211]

Content I needed! Subscribed, thank you!

[@femkedesign]

You’re welcome, thanks for the sub!

[@AliMaher-qb4zq]

Really helpful. Could make a video on how to insert images?

Thank you so much for this video! You saved me hours of time :)

[@rashancasseus5]

Going to try this out. Thanks

[@VaishnavVharkat]

Very informative, definitely trying out whimsical!

[@qoogood]

Hi Femke! Thanks for sharing! How do you bring the wireframes you did in Whimsical to Figma? Is it just as simple as export the files?

[@femkedesign]

I can't remember, I think I might have exported to PNG!

[@p382742937423y4]

Love the view!

[@EmmaPlanPrettyPlan]

That’s was so helpful thank you x

[@femkedesign]

You’re welcome!

[@arik1801]

Great tool! thanks!

[@pablospyer1277]

wow! such a helpful tool! muito obrigado :)

[@PerryCodes]

Kinda missing the option to have a drop shadow! Everything else looks like it's there for simple flow diagrams :) Thanks for sharing!

[@code8180]

Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@jessedavies35]

I have this annoying context switching problem where I click to use elements in Whimsical and then try to click to add components in Figma, which takes me to the master component on a different page. I think I like the click to add in Whimsical better! Figma should use double click to go to the master.

[@sanyamjain6585]

This is really coool!

[@digitalmenteprodutivo]

Muito bom 👏👏👏 O Miro👈 também é uma ótima opção e talvez mais completo 💡

[@dheymesena8286]

Hi, how are you?

You are so cool ;)

Following up - one year later - Whimsical hasn't evolved one single bit. So... as far as software products go - it's a major BUST.
