Forge Canvas (formerly Vulcan) was born from a desire to bring real-time visual collaboration to rich, dynamic knowledge management. Drawing on over four years of experience working at Mural—and watching the rise of tools like Miro, MS Whiteboard, and Zoom Whiteboard—we saw an opportunity to take a more focused approach. Rather than competing in the general visual collaboration market, we aligned Forge Canvas with the needs closest to our expertise and mission: empowering developers and teams in the creative and technical process of building plugin ecosystems.

Forge Canvas is now the ultimate workspace for product discovery and ecosystem building. It’s designed to support developers as they navigate the complex journey of ideation, desirability, feasibility, and scalability validation—all the way to the successful launch of new plugins for supported platforms. At the same time, it provides teams with the playbooks, visual thinking frameworks, tools, and workflows they need to build thriving communities, ecosystems, and plugin platforms.

With Forge Canvas, SaaS companies can align their technical and creative efforts seamlessly, accelerating innovation while ensuring every decision is grounded in a scalable and sustainable strategy. By combining real-time collaboration with purpose-built workflows, Forge Canvas empowers teams to save time, reduce complexity, and launch with confidence.

Whether you’re brainstorming the next big product idea or shaping the strategy for a thriving plugin marketplace, Forge Canvas gives you the clarity, tools, and structure to succeed.
