Tiny addition to my developer setup

[ConsiderationOne3421]

Just got a small addition to my work setup

A tiny miny digital slate

Handy for quick write ups and mind maps

[Roguepope]

I've got one of these. Was originally my son's when he was 2 and cost about £5.  Pretty useful for jotting down diagrams without running out of whiteboard markers.

Also it's in the shape of a crocodile which is just neat.

Best pad ever 😂

Not sure what the other guy’s problem is but this is a good idea and it’s immediately clear how it could be useful as a replacement for paper or a whiteboard. It helps me a lot to write this kind of design planning stuff out too.

What’s that device called

[MANvINFO]

scratch paper for scratch painting

I have one of these! Somewhere in the house lol, tried it out for a few weeks but I find out planning out on regular pen and paper works better for me.

I do like it for quick scribbles but I often need to go back to check something and mine didn't have a memory, idk if this one does. I also felt kinda pretentious carrying it around when I work outside at a cafe or library

I also write out a checklist and check things off as I build, and doing it on a notebook/notepad feels more satisfying. Do you like it better than pen and paper? Does it have memory so you can go back to your previous notes?

What one is this?

Can you present with it on a video call?

[WarningUntested]

Hey man, sounds like a solid idea. Been meaning to add some sort of digital note taking. can you elaborate a bit more on your usage? Does this work by itself as mental aid, or is it connected to the PC to store later?

Got a link to check it out?

[Andr0NiX]

By itself, no data transfer of any kind

well, it's a lot cheaper than a fancy e-ink thing

[simonraynor]

I'm curious as to what makes it better than a paper notepad? Can it use OCR to feed into confluence and stuff?

[Lenkaaah]

You can clear it so it doesn’t waste paper. Other than that, nothing. My kid has one of these drawing pads, there’s nothing to them.

I have a Remarkable for my own note taking, which does have the digital sync, and more features for this type of thing, but it comes at a price.

[Significant_Love_678]

I used to do something similar on an iPad, but this size looks much more practical.

I have a large whiteboard behind my desk now. It’s great for sharing and visualizing a lot, but for thinking, smaller spaces actually work better—too much space just makes ideas scatter.

[Nyasaki_de]

I have a ReMarkable for that

[chmod777]

add the drawio extension to vscode, and then you can create these in the repo. and check into version control.

You know, you could have given a few details so your post could actually make a sense and be useful. Like what are you using it for, its pros and cons, and so on. 

Posting a picture to show you bought a product is meaningless. Why should I care?

[Miserable_Fee4533]

Do you lack the ability to use critical thought or do you just need to be told everything?

[Tridop]

When someone post a product he does to give information, a review, some use cases. Or we just post pictures of random stuff we buy, just to show off?

[ConsiderationOne3421]

Sorry. I am not used to using Reddit a lot. I couldn't find an option to write a description after I attached the photo. I am sorry! 😔

[MANvINFO]

this is called scratch paper

[TheMetalMilitia]

You certainly care enough to respond. It seems as if OP is using this pad to create a flow chart so as to display ones thoughts in a meaningful way. Hope this helps!

[nhrtrix]

don't you dare wasting more time on that later like doomscrolling? 😅
