Usability Request (MIRO)
Hi Silico-Team!
First of all, great job, love your App. I recently showed it to a collegue who is using Anylogic. He was excited of how userfriendly and usability-oriented the Silico platform is. This is, in my opinion, one of your key differentiations to the big simulation corporates out there!
Therefore, I have a request/wish/tipp for improving the usability further.
One of the most intuitive platforms to use, and one I really enjoy working with, is MIRO (you might know). The handling within the workspace is very simple due to the combination of mouse and keyboard. Here I would like to highlight two features:
1. by holding down the space bar you can freely move the workspace-window in all directions. Therefore you are not limited to movements in X and Y direction. You never need to scroll again.
2. by holding down the Ctrl-key and using the mouse wheel you can zoom in and out within the workspace-window (without zooming in the browser view). This could be helpful for large models that are very wide.
Perhaps MIRO is an interesting source of inspiration in other respects as well. By the way, I'm doing Group Model Building workshops and Causal Loop diagrams in MIRO before building a Stock and Flow diagram in Silico.
Best,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
Thanks for taking the time to share these ideas. We are also big fans of MIRO at Silico! We've added a review of navigation in Silico to our roadmap based on your feedback.
I hope you continue to enjoy using Silico.
