Google Keep, everyday (till they kill it)


“till they kill it”

How sad, that we are dependent on third parties like this… I have seen people openly hoping and begging Twitter to add an Edit button. Really? This is why we need open source.


This is seriously sad (not just Google keep, but also why other note taking software like Evernote, apple notes, etc) that there is a worry that companies may shut any one of these down, or that they aren't encrypted and secure, or that they're not FOSS. There's good options that fit these criteria, such as obsidian on a LAN with syncthing.


Was a Keep fan until I got a few thousand notes into it, and now my iOS start time is on the order of 10 seconds or so before I can type anything. Mostly use it in iOS with the Share functionality, then use the browser version otherwise.

Now for iOS I use Drafts for quick note-taking, then resolve the note later.
