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

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, on the window of the office.

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.

We've got coloured mostly opaque glass internal walls sprinkled around the office, which work great as whiteboards. The writing-on-a-wall-of-glass part works fine - can't speak for the transparency though.

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.
