Remote Team Collaboration: Whiteboards With Miro

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Miro is a collaborative whiteboard software that's ideal for exploring ideas and concepts in a distributed work setting.

Miro provides the user with elements and tools such as sticky ...

However, on mobile browsers there's usually no browser console, or browser development tools, for that matter. Analysing browser logs is still possible via vendors' development tools like Apple's ...
