A practical guide to Handwritten Note Pad

Handwritten Note Pad focuses on one concrete job: smooth stylus/touch handwriting with palm rejection. That makes it most useful for starting a visual from an empty workspace or a focused prompt. The page sits at the intersection of canvas & drawing and digital whiteboarding, rather than trying to replace a general-purpose document editor.
