Komga vs Miro
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Komga and Miro — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Komga vs Miro: at a glance
What is Komga?
After two years of quiet fixes, Komga puts a whole new web UI in front of users.
Komga's recent history is almost entirely maintenance — archive-format edge cases, EPUB table-of-contents parsing, Kobo and OPDS compatibility, and a long tail of dependency bumps and translations. Release 1.26.0 breaks that pattern by shipping NextUI, a rewritten web interface, in beta and served alongside the existing one from the same server. The old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.
What is Miro?
Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.
The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.

Komga

After two years of quiet fixes, Komga puts a whole new web UI in front of users.
◆ Current state
Komga's recent history is almost entirely maintenance — archive-format edge cases, EPUB table-of-contents parsing, Kobo and OPDS compatibility, and a long tail of dependency bumps and translations. Release 1.26.0 breaks that pattern by shipping NextUI, a rewritten web interface, in beta and served alongside the existing one from the same server. The old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a staged frontend replacement rather than a cutover: two UIs on one web server, a v2 referential API landing in the same release to back the new client, and a hotfix a few hours later for NextUI CSS layers under Tomcat. The backend is simplifying in parallel — RAR5 support moved to plain Java and libarchive was dropped from the Docker image and the tray app, removing a native dependency from the build. Feature work outside the UI stays narrow and format-focused.
◆ Prediction
Expect a run of point releases closing the gaps in NextUI's feature list and hardening the two-UI serving path, with the beta label staying on until parity is reached. A default switch is unlikely before the missing features land.
Miro
0.0COLLAB
Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.
◆ Current state
The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.
◆ Where it's heading
Miro is pushing outward at both ends of the canvas — generating the presentation that used to be built elsewhere afterwards, and generating prototypes from code, screenshots and Figma files beforehand. The canvas is being positioned as the middle of a pipeline rather than a standalone whiteboard.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Slides and Prototypes paths to keep converging on generation from existing artifacts, with the add-on boundary deciding how much of it is included.
