5 Real Ways People Use Code&Quill Notebooks
Code&Quill is for people who think better on paper.
Our customers come from all kinds of backgrounds but what they have in common is how they use our tools: to slow down, find clarity, and bring ideas to life.
They’re designers and developers.
Writers and founders.
Students, travelers, professionals, and planners.
Some sketch. Some journal. Some just need a clean page to sort through the noise.
Today, we’re sharing 5 real ways people are using their Code&Quill notebooks in day-to-day life routines, work, and everything in between.
You’ll see the original photos behind each one. Scroll through, get inspired, and imagine how your notebook might meet you where you are.
For the Data Scientist
Being a data scientist = a lot of moving parts: scraping, modeling, pipelining, deployment—you name it. @rachelmoonstar shows us how she manages it all using Code&Quill.
For the Sketch Artist
@e4hp.art is fully in their Spider-Man era 🕷️🕸️
They leaned all the way in on the theme and took the art a step further than usual because why not have a little fun while planning your week?
That’s the beauty of analog: you can map your to-dos, sketch your fandom obsession, and clear your mind all on the same page.
Big productivity energy with a side of comic book flair.
For the Traveler
Just your essential travel journaling kit... no overpacking here, obviously 😅✈️
@craftydeesigns shared their pared-down (but still stacked) supply list for on-the-go journaling. Most of it rides in the carry-on—because let’s be real, lost luggage is tragic, but lost notebooks? Devastating.
What do you have to bring when you travel? Pens? A full stationery store? 👀✍️
For the Developer
Writing code in a notebook? Yep, it's still a thing.
This speedrunner-turned-developer uses their notebook to sketch out pseudo-code and designs when things get tricky. The split layout (monospaced lines + dot grid) makes mapping logic and systems feel way less chaotic.
This is just a reminder that real tools still matter.
For the Home Designer
@katebroderick Laying out yet another room with her trusty Monolith.
When you're knee-deep in renovation plans (read: chaos), having a clean space to map it all out, dimensions, layout sketches, pipe reroutes, dream backsplash ideas—makes the mess a little more manageable.
Not everything fits in a Pinterest board. Sometimes you just need pen, paper, and a place to think.
We’re sharing more stories and snapshots from the community and we’d love to feature yours, too. Tag us on social and show us how you use your notebook, whether you're sketching, planning, building, or just getting your thoughts down.
Still notebook-less? Explore our tools, thoughtfully designed to bring clarity to your creative process because your ideas deserve more than a notes app.
