    Literally, I said on a meeting last week, we should be stopping using it, I feel like Google is going to kill it soon. We are have gotten to the point where we can smell dead.

    Awesome.

      Everyone has a damn whiteboard / sticky note app these days. Miro, Mural, Figjam, Apple Freeform, Zoom Whiteboards, Lucid chart, etc.

      Jamboard is, without a doubt, the worst one of the bunch. I’d honestly rather use Google Slides for Jamboard’s intended purpose.

        I do not want to be exposed to Miro. Please, meeting organizer, don’t subject me to Miro. I can’t tell if I hate the actual product or the stream of horseshit it draws out of people.

    At which point will we collectively just understand that cloud-driven hardware is practically just a time ticking e-waste bomb? The board itself is a neat idea, probably useful too, but even if this weren’t Google, I’d be dead anyway, the moment the brand is done messing with their software

    Guess I’ll add that to the list.

    In all honesty I’m impressed it lasted 8 years. Google have killed bigger projects in much shorter times.

    When you only hear about a product because of its cancellation, you can understand why.

    My last job was all on the Google ecosystem. They bought like 10 of these things and to be honest, they were a blast during Meetings, but that was pre-covid. Pandemic really effed the office and pushed everyone remote, and I think they were lying around gathering dust when I left.

      Google has a lot of great products like this. They’re just mismanaged. I’m sure if the marketing could have figured out a way to marry this with the YouTube brand like every other Google product, they would have.

        Yeah, I have worked with a few ex-Googlers, great programmers and techies, poor product owners/managers. It’s like they forget how humans think.

    Never even heard of this. Basically every school over here (that I know of) uses ViewSonic Smart Boards that run Android, too, although with a nightmare of a launcher on top… They’re probably not even that much cheaper
