Ask HN: Do you use digital ink to create handwritten notes? Why or why not?

No, because I don't have a tablet. But even if I did, still probably not because sometimes it's easier to flip through notebook pages than scroll through a digital list of notes. But perhaps to a greater extent, the tactile response of writing on a screen is strangely just not satisfying to my brain like writing on paper, and that's something I can't explain rationally.

Used iPad Pro for a while. It was alright. Mostly type out notes into emacs org mode now. If I write anything I immediately scanbot it into Dropbox.<p>I got over the tactile feel. It’s not a big deal. Only annoying part was a dead pencil. New iPad design should be a lot better. Kind of tempted.
