- perryizgr8 6y agoNow I have to migrate all my notes off to another service :(
- talmr 6y agoNotion is pretty good.
- 8note 6y agoI'll probably just stop having phone notes. Just write stuff down instead
- sharatvir 6y agoI like writing stuff down too but you miss out on search.
- screye 6y ago> Now I have to migrate all my notes off to another service :( > Now I have to migrate all my notes off to another service :( I'm glad I started migrating to one note. Although it does feel like there is space for an app between one note and keep.
- 013a 6y agoNotion is excellent, and probably not going anywhere.
- bjohnson225 6y agoNotion and Google Keep seem at opposite ends of the note taking spectrum though. Notion is incredibly powerful, but that strength was its weakness when I evaluated for personal use.
- dreamer7 6y agoMay I recommend Joplin? I migrated from Keep to Joplin a little while ago. It's working pretty well for me. - Open source - Encryption at rest when using a cloud service for syncing - Apps for all major platforms
- totalZero 6y agoAre they going to eliminate Google Keep?
- w-ll 6y agoOn the other side, I've never herd of Google Keep.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoIt’s a note taking app that has existed for at least 5 years.
- coderintherye 6y agoWhich itself replaced Google Notebook which had existed for 5 years before Google killed it in favor of Keep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Notebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Notebook
- omosubi 6y agoIsn't keep something that can be paid for by enterprise users? Have they killed off enterprise products like that before?
- LordDragonfang 6y agoThey killed and replaced hangouts, a staple of their enterprise offerings, so yes.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoYes it's part of Google Workspace (G Suite). It's sold to corporate customers, so it shouldn't disappear without solution.
- ta1234567890 6y agoWow, all those icons next to each other on a phone screen look really hard to tell apart at a glance.
- PascLeRasc 6y agoExcept for Keep! It's the only one that gives an idea what it does, virtual post-it notes.
- wingerlang 6y agoI disagree, I bet people would assume it is something similar to Home because it has a lightbulb.
- MacsHeadroom 6y agoYou won't have to worry about that in a couple months, since Google Play Music won't exist anymore.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoI just gave this a test trying to find google drive as fast as possible. My eyes first stopped on google home since it’s the exact same colours and mostly the same shape.
- marta_morena_28 6y agoThe only thing that I would confuse Google Drive with is Google Chrome, because that one actually looks like a disk
- donatj 6y agoGoogle has a history of this. I always confused the Play Store and Play Music apps. Cyan Triangle vs Orange Triangle.
- int_ 6y agoGmail favicon make the inbox counter useless.
- tsjq 6y agoa very useful app. looks like gonna be chopped off soon. :(
- awslattery 6y agoIt never had a publicly documented API, wish I could have baked it into VS Code and such. Obviously not a clear indicator of a Google offering with a limited time left, but cause enough for concern for me to prepare to find an alternative...
- nonbirithm 6y agoExactly this. I used to export everything by opening the page source and filtering out the HTML elements. It was a really terrible offering, and it was originally what made me realize that Google is not the kind of company that delivers on that front. I replaced it with a combination of Shaarli for links and Standard Notes for everything else.
- kfrzcode 6y agoNow do an export from Messages. I haven't been able to figure it out without disgusting scraping hacks. Maybe it's in Google Takeout? Nope.
- russellbeattie 6y agoJoplin. It's good. Use it.
- abstractbarista 6y agoShit, will they get rid of Keep? I LOVE Keep and use it many times daily.
- grep_name 6y agoAs a keep user, this can only make me laugh. My goal for the last year was to be off as many google services as possible by the end of next year, and they've been making it surprisingly easy for me. All I really had left at this point was Google Play Music and Google Keep (apart from android itself and gmail, which I'm working on). If they phase these two products out, they will have alienated me out of every product of theirs I've ever used. They're already consolidating google play with youtube music (which is bizarre to me). The hardest to cut will probably be gmail, but the fact that they slip advertisements into my inboxes has been pretty motivating. Youtube is also difficult, but as a resource it seems to somehow become less and less useful to me every year. I know that subscribing to youtube channels via RSS and using a program to automatically download the videos doesn't count as 'not using youtube,' but these days I'm starting to feel like content creators will get there eventually wrt video hosting alternatives
- jmisavage 6y agoI just copied the handful of notes I had there into Apple's Notes app. Don't want to get burned by Google again.
