General Feedback

The team present was really helpful at debugging/answering queries.
The GitHub sample repository is helpful but not fully comprehensive.
Registration process was too dispersed
The documentation for some of the APIs were incorrect/incomplete.
Provide an explicit resolved URLs for the image content instead of providing byte streams
The [/me/notes/pages] endpoint creates a new notebook and not a section inside the existing primary notebook
