Hello, yes, recent member of the HN note-taking crowd here. Throwaway meeting notes are exactly my use case. It helps that I do most of my thinking on paper anyway so I have a pen and pad handy at all times. For me it's all about focus. Writing is an activity that I enjoy doing independent of what I'm actually writing. Can't zone out if I'm taking notes which leaves me in a position to drop all of the many great insights I always have in every single meeting.
