When solving problems (math/computer science) I often scribble on some random sheets of paper to visualize my ideas or to save progress of some temporary solutions. I hate it, it’s a mess and a waste of paper. I’ve been thinking of getting something like a whiteboard for a while and I want to finally commit.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a whiteboard or a whiteboard-like (for example an interactive board) product? From experience I know that whiteboards get dirty quickly and require to be cleaned with alcohol regularly.

Alternatives I have considered and subsequently disregarded:

  • blackboard (chalk dust in my room, no thanks)
  • graphical tablet for my laptop (I want something that would always be on display, not hidden away in a file)
  • tablet with a stylus (same as above)
    • jonuno

      I guess you’d have to weight how much you are going to use it. If a sheet of rock paper can last you many years, that will be more eco than celulose paper in the long term? If you are worried on that maybe go for the closest to nature form possible. These used to be the standard in primary schools last century https://images.app.goo.gl/tZaTG66XtxzYN2Ht6
