Hi everyone at Lucid and the vibrant community/champions,

Since pandemic, Lucidsuite has transformed my workplace in the way we facilitate our technical discussions and agile ceremonies. When the world came to a stand-still, Lucidsuite literally opened a door for us to continue our work as the “new normal”. I became a Lucid fan-girl since then and I’m still. During my leisure, I play with LucidSpark tool in particular and think of ways I can use LucidSpark in my daily job. I attended a few live webinars on LucidChart and LucidSpark by Lucid software team and these were great and could fit in my busy work schedule.

 

Later I started to participate on my leisure in a couple of Lucid UX team’s research survey sessions. I made new friendships within Lucid software this year. I was selected to be one of the Lucid Champions which I feel so special and close to my heart. I became one of the active participants in Lucid champions programme like many others. Discussion community and queries by Ashtyn Creel giving me a chance to pause, reflect, think critically and I now feel I’m improving my writing skills. It’s my new hobby to participate in Lucid Champions open-ended questions.

 

TL;DR - To acknowledge all these gestures by Lucid, I am going to put forth a few ideas in my Lucid wishlist. You can choose to or ignore depending on your business usecase.

  1.  Lucid can publish trainings/webinars based on levels  (eg: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) or based on customer usecase scenarios (eg: diagramming usecase, presentation usecase, whiteboarding usecase, mindmapping usecase, personal productivity usecase or even more) or based on "Lucid as X" or "All your required tools under one umbrella" usecase (eg: Personally, I didn't expect Lucid can assume the role of a Microsoft Powerpoint; I didn't expect Lucid toolsuite has access to marketplace for adding plugins; And I still don't know - Can Lucid act like Notion? or any other note-taking or Todo tracker software.) 
  2. I personally use Lucid for interactive knowledge sharing sessions with my team. In that usecase, I miss a feedback seeking tool - eg: I had to use Mentimeter online tool once to share it with the team and seek rating, their open comments, create a quiz based on the knowledge they gained in the session etc. 
  3. I wish Lucid has an open github repository and can start some software projects (like plugin development etc. For eg: Microsoft community has something similar for VSCode IDE - Please visit https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples ) there where software engineers like us come and contribute. Yesterday, I read somewhere in Lucid website, API integration is possible. I wish if there is a webinar organized for an overview of Lucid APIs and the required skillsets for a software engineer to contribute etc, it would be great. For eg: I am a C / C++ / Python programmer. Can one like me contribute to 

I wish everyone in Lucid software/Lucid champions and Lucid community a fantastic Xmas and a fruitful new year! Looking forward to exploring and learning more in Lucid. Have fun!

Hi @hsukesan, thank you for your thoughtful feedback! Micah passed this along and I just wanted to chime in regarding point #3. In the past year we have expanded our Developer Platform and the Lucid for Developers section of the Community is your resource for any questions you have about our public APIs!

We do have a GitHub Repo with Sample Lucid Extensions - is this what you’re looking for?

Hi Honey, thanks for this post, and apologies for the delayed reply!

  1. This is great feedback. I’m tagging @Bear, our senior manager of customer education, for his visibility and further conversation!
  2. This makes sense - a quiz at the end of the session sounds really engaging. This may not be a perfect fit for your use case, but I’d be remiss not to mention Lucidspark’s Visual Activities tool, which allows you create easy-to-use activities to gain insights from your collaborators. I think this could be especially helpful for the rating use case you mentioned. 

 

  1. While we don’t have a GitHub repository, I can happily recommend the Lucid for Developers section of this community. Here, you can view other projects and questions from development partners and also converse directly with Lucid’s engineering team working on our APIs. I’ll also tag our API product manager @Ian Baenziger in case he has other ideas you might be interested in!
