Ask HN: Does anyone actually use clear glass as a “whiteboard” IRL?

[jdhe]

I know in pop culture you aren't a really cool coder/hacker/statistician/accountant? unless you do your brainstorming/calculating on a clear glass "whiteboard" but do people actually do this IRL?

Yes, we have done two offices with paneled glass as whiteboards.

We have a fabrication studio run by the owner's brother, who made the wood paneling, and attached runners for holding dry erase markers, and erases.

My office had a glass door. I used it as a whiteboard extension all the time. For those who don't know what a 'door' is, it is a thing to improve productivity. Think of it as an effective noise-cancelling device.

yes, on the window of the office.
