Google Keep is next. It is neat and simple, though I haven't been using it lately.

I use Keep, but there are already millions of apps that does what Keep is doing. I don't think there will be a huge vacuum.

  I actually really like Microsoft ToDo. Your setup can be as simple as you want or as complex as you need it to be!

    Case in point, ‘To Do’ is derived from Wunderlist that has been around since 2011.

    But Keep is much more than ToDo, it is more like a less capable OneNote (or, put differently, it is very much like the newer version of OneNote).

I think it's Google Podcasts, barely any efforts on features for the app, seems like they just made it because there needed to be a podcast app, Keep, while not given much attention by Google, is still easily accessible within Gmail.

I really hope they don't kill it. Although, I never really recovered from the Red Wedding of Reader. However, I recently convinced myself to use Google Keep; it has a neat implementation of grabbing text from an image and works fairly well. I realise that I will be training the algorithms, and appending data to the already vast collection. It is a trade-off I am willing to accept. I have generally been using it to grab text from labels for ingredients and other products to create my own notes.

  I have a sync script that fetches all my google Keep notes and saves as markdown. I was using it to sync into Roam for a while, but now I have it syncing into my markdown folder. My current note taker is iA Writer. On the go markdown authoring, syncs with dropbox.

    Thanks for the tip on iA Writer ─ like the aesthetics, and features. I will definitely give it a shot.

      Yes, the aesthetics are great and quite functional too! They have released the fonts for free as well. I use that my VSCode for markdown: ` "[markdown]": { // use the beautiful duospace font when available "editor.fontFamily": "iA Writer Duospace, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe WPC', 'Segoe UI', system-ui, 'Ubuntu', 'Droid Sans', sans-serif, monospace", ` I should mention that I use it on mobile and share article links to it if it's something I want for research. Then on desktop I read and take notes on that same page. It turns reading into a more active process of knowledge acquisition/retention/application.
