Another "write your text here" and nothing more app.
I'm not questioning the usefulness of this, but why do we have so many simple apps like these? People writing code to do the same thing over and over again, aren't you bored?
- detaro 11y agoBecause people have slightly differing taste and opinion about how such an app should work and what it should look like. And because it has a relatively clear scope, many people actually build them.
- cad 11y agoevernote kind of apps don't work. Except Google Keep. Keep kinda works.
- stephenson 11y agoThe only problem is that Google dont keep services alive.
- thefox 11y agoWhat warrant us that Faqt.co is still alive next week? Nothing. Every service on the Internet can be shut down. Google services are as long online as Google profit from them.
- stephenson 11y agoFaqt.co could as well yes, but google has quit a history of closing down small services. > Google services are as long online as Google profit from How do the profit from Keep?
- icebraining 11y agoFaqt.co could as well yes, but google has quit a history of closing down small services. After years of service, and with months of warning and a tool to export your data. Keep's predecessor (Notebook) lasted 6 years. Reader lasted 8. Orkut lasted 10. How many startups live for that long? How many don't suddenly shut down, leaving you stranded?
- 355mainstreet 11y agoDon't get too attached. Keep is being discontinued in the next few months. Something better is replacing it, eventually, but just keep that in mind.
- nopar8 11y agoI was unable to find anything that suggests this. Are you speculating?
- nabeelahmed13 11y agoProbably speculating given the lifetime of most small-scale Google apps.
- dmd 11y agoCould be that, could be a troll, could be an actual Googler (355 Main Street is Google's address in Cambridge MA)
- WalterGR 11y agoHow so?
- Fuzzwah 11y agoIf no one ever re-invented the wheel our cars would still be rolling on stone wheels.
- keedot 11y agoCars never rolled on stone wheels. Flintstones was a cartoon, not a documentary.
- bluehex 11y agoCars never rolled on stone wheels because someone had reinvented the wheel by that time which I'm pretty sure was the point of the parent comment.
