I use a whiteboard so kinda the same thing. But a pen and paper will do as well

Do you ever use a Pencil when developing?
I come to coding from a design background. When I'm designing I always sketch my ideas in a notebook. Do you ever use pencil and paper to design your apps?
Related to this, @JeffreyWay how do we share photos in the discussion?

@Sinnbeck Could you share any photos of your whiteboard, for inspiration?

@AlTur not much to show. Just a standard wall mounted whiteboard. Something like this https://www.peachyhire.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Wall-mounted-whiteboard.jpg

@Sinnbeck I'm curious to see what your notes look like, if you're willing to share. I'm curious to see what you put on there. What parts of code are easier to understand when written on a whiteboard or paper (Not theoretically, but an actual example)?

@AlTur sadly they are company notes and all in Danish :) but I either write down database schemas when designing those. Or I write down flows for how I plan out my user flows.

@AlTur don't do this - if there is something useful to contribute, we (I) will contribute.

@AlTur Well... that was certainly an obnoxious thing to do.
For my own projects I most often just create and play with layouts using tailwind. Sometimes I will create component front ends in play.tailwindcss.com then just save those and pull them into projects when I'm happy with them. I don't usually do a lot of high-level design projects. For high-level design work, usually at the day job, I work with teams that have designers and we typically use white boards and mostly rely on Figma.
