      Weird/fun prompt—how much marginal problem-solving capacity could you create by making good domestic whiteboards way more viable? Domestic whiteboards are usually either too small or too obtrusive. There's rarely enough unbroken wall space; free-standing boards eat huge sqftage.

      A ceiling-mounted retractable solution is appealing, but it seems hard to get the rigidity you'd need. Switchable glass seems promising. It's available as an aftermarket film @ ~$50/sqft. But it'd feel obtrusive to leave writing up for days, though, which is no good. …AR? :/pic.twitter.com/F7zgBM0hFO

      Whiteboards—particularly whiteboards persistent and big enough to accumulate writing for many days—create a change in consciousness! I straight-up think different thoughts when one's present. Doubly true in a collaborative situation.

      Lots of people mentioned putting whiteboards in their home offices, but I think if you really did this right, you would be able to have one on demand in your living room, for spontaneous use when conversation turned in that direction.

          One clear barrier to having domestic whiteboards anywhere but home office seems to be that one can hide them on demand. Persistent scribbles on an enormous surface in a living space are too visually noisy. And yet persistence is important. Tough tension.

          Curtains seem like a good solution though I suspect few homes can sacrifice that much precious contiguous wall space. https://twitter.com/jongold/status/1221109469456687105?s=21 …https://twitter.com/jongold/status/1221109469456687105 …

          we've covered giant whiteboards with curtains / tapestries / etc before so the room doesn't look like a hacker house by default. or Magic Whiteboard paper if it's a short term thing pic.twitter.com/W4gq9a38Sf

          @saralahue brilliantly suggests: use the back faces of closet and pocket doors. Easy huge retractable domestic whiteboards! Seems broadly deployable. e.g. We've got pocket bedroom doors (normally hidden). I can slap some melamine on these to make a 64x80" retractable whiteboard!pic.twitter.com/YFAVO1vMoQ

          Maybe it’s a cultural change that’s necessary, then—so that people don’t perceive them as obtrusive. I suspect the aversive perception of visual noise is lizard-level though.
