About Lucid
Lucid provides a suite of online tools for visualization, planning, and collaboration. It consists of two main tools:
Lucid Spark - a digital, collaborative whiteboard - recommended for simple, collaborative activities and quick design thinking.
Lucid Chart - a collaborative graphic organizer which allows brainstorming and mind-mapping; is more feature-rich, and works well for more advanced mind-mapping and planning. Has a steeper learning curve compared to Lucid Spark.
