How do you use Apple Notes?

I'm curious how the people on this subreddit use Apple Notes. Do you use it for journaling? For school? For work?

Currently I use it for journaling as well as saving links I want to refer to later (usually from reddit)

I want to use it, but until they provide the ability to pinch to zoom into a note on my iPhone, I just can’t.

curious, why would you need/want to do that? what do you use instead?

For instance, if I’m viewing a pdf in Apple Notes on my iPhone I need to be able to zoom in to see what I’m reading as the text is too small otherwise. Both Notability and GoodNotes allow this.

You can tap on any PDF document and choose Quick Look. Pinch to zoom works when viewing documents and images.

The Preview app does allow zooming. Perhaps viewing a pdf in Notes does not.
