>I think this is a really good idea
Is it? Either you're looking at the whiteboard or at the screen. If the laptop is open, you can push it closed if you write on the back. If it is closed, you don't want to press too hard lest you damage the screen.
Why not just use a piece of paper?
- scrollaway 10y agoOkay, is there some dissonance I'm not picking up on here in this thread? The item is sitting at 220+ votes, at the top of HN right now and looking at the timeline, it appears the only reason this is on sale is because people begged the author to sell them. And in the thread... a bunch of people suggesting "Why not just DIY?", "Why not paper?", "It's useless on the back" etc. This is obviously a popular item. Maybe some introspection?
- macspoofing 10y agoHealthy skepticism is also warranted. But you bring up a good point. Should the primary point of these kinds of threads be about giving props and praising the startup/service/product or should criticism and skepticism be allowed in as well. // I actually like it as product to personalize your laptop, as opposed to something to help your productivity.
