As someone who didn't really love English or Literature during my days in school, writing does not come naturally for me.
Having to work with a technology publishing platform has meant I have had to improve my writing skills.
Like with mastering any new skill, one has to take an interest in the craft, recognize what and where they can improve in that skill, and be deliberate about working to achieve being good at that skill.
Aside from writing articles, taking notes during a meeting is one way to improve one's writing.
Here at HackerNoon, we have weekly Product Meetings, and taking notes is an essential aspect of these weekly meetings.
In one of those weekly meetings, I had the opportunity to take the meeting notes (sometimes known as meeting minutes).
Looking back now, apart from the purpose of documentation and record-keeping, these meeting notes also help to keep track of the progress that has been made.
The below slogging thread by Andemosa, Richard-Kubina, David, and Kien, is the notes from that meeting and it occurred in the HackerNoon's official #meeting-recap channel. It has been edited for readability.

Hey what was that tool to turn one design into many designs that Richard Kubina mentioned? For Startups of the Year? [at] Kien
https://htmlcsstoimage.com/ was mentioned in the chat.
We could probably whip up a design in HTML and do it ourselves with https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-to-image
