I LOVE ClickUp, I have been a user since 2018 and it kills me how unusable this system is at scale for us.
We care about speed, precision, personalization and scalability.
Building Whiteboards from scratch will never work for us. Using a template still means we will have to do a lot of unnecessary clicking.
Many apps have Mermaid support (See draw.io for one of the better representations where you can edit it after you make the initial diagram).
I would love to see you guys give us the ability to paste Mermaid in as an input and it creates the diagram with the correct shapes in ClickUp and then we can move them around as we need.
SOPs should be visual! I'd have your AI read the text from an SOP and then create a Mermaid representation of it. I can't afford the AI for my whole team, so I pray you support Mermaid so I can copy and paste please 🙏🏽
Having a ClickUp Whiteboard embedded in the middle of SOPs to show flow of events would turn a lot of heads. Especially because you can link to tasks and Docs in the Board as well.
I was excited I saw something about JSON exports previously. The feature didn't work as expected, but I figured you guys were working out the details on that. I was stoked.
Then at least I can have a large language model like ChatGPT or Claude understand your JSON format. Then I can have it make tweaks to the file, import the file back in, and paste it there, and be able to rapidly visually reflect what I want.
But this is just too slow and clunky. I will import Boardmix, Miro or even Draw.io inside of ClickUp all day long because it's just so hard to have any type of streamlined workflow.
It just takes too long to produce things on here if you always have to click and drag everything. No one's going to want to do that who has to do it at scale.
