I'd like to see a $30 pen tablet, similar to the Boogie board but better designed and with the ability to export documents. Then I could put one every place I have scraps of paper for notes or notebooks and be able to collect everything I write into a digital form (ideally automatically and wirelessly). A $500 pen tablet just does not work for this, it would cost too much to have 10 tablets around the house. Basically a Boogie board plus an ESP32 and a little storage with some well written software. Even $50 would be acceptable, $100 might be too much.

- rapjr9 4y agoA digital pen would be great also, if it didn't need special paper and worked well. The idea is to replace pen and paper with a device which is essentially an infinite supply of pen+paper. Having to buy special paper is limiting. I'm often trying to capture fleeting ideas so a solution needs to be handy everywhere which either means many cheap tablets or an expensive digital pen that works on just about any surface. Nothing digital I've seen or tried so far works well for this purpose.
- diatone 4y agoFun unrelated fact: boogie board is an Australian slang term for what you might call a body board, used for faux-surfing. I was very confused by your comment for a while.
