Enable Private Personal Boards for Basic License Users (not counted against editable board limits)

Description

I would like Basic License Users to have access to a limited number of private personal boards that do not count toward the existing editable board limit.

These boards would be strictly personal and private by default. They are intended as a workspace for thinking, preparation, and idea development before collaboration begins.

Typical use cases

• Preparing content that is not yet ready to be shared with a team
• Structuring thoughts, concepts, requirements, or meeting preparations
• Personal brainstorming and knowledge organization
• Developing early-stage ideas that may later become collaborative boards
• Maintaining personal visual notes that may never be shared but increase daily value for the user

Why this matters

Currently, users must decide whether a board should consume one of their limited editable boards, even when the content is purely personal and not collaborative.

This discourages users from using Lucid as a daily thinking and ideation tool.

Allowing private personal boards would:

• Increase daily engagement with Lucid
• Encourage users to create more content within the platform
• Create a natural path from personal ideation to team collaboration
• Increase the likelihood that users upgrade when personal work evolves into shared projects
• Strengthen Lucid's position as both a collaboration platform and a personal visual thinking tool

Suggested implementation

• Private personal boards are visible only to the creator.
• Personal boards do not count toward the editable-board limit for Basic users.
• Sharing a personal board automatically converts it into a regular board that counts against licensing limits.
• Optional limits (e.g., storage, number of personal boards, or size) could prevent abuse while still enabling the primary use case.

Expected outcome

This feature would help users think, plan, and create inside Lucid from the earliest stages of an idea. More ideas would start in Lucid, and more of those ideas would eventually become collaborative workspaces, benefiting both users and Lucid.
