Google’s excellent and neglected note-taking app is getting some much-needed formatting options and overall love. Here’s hoping it’s not the last time.

Little too late, switched to Obsidian and haven’t looked back.

I’ve been using Markor + obsidian for quicknotes.

I created a quicknote.md in obsidian and point markor too it. This allows me to very quickly open that note in Markor, copy and paste from apps directly into that file. Then later I can decide to flesh them out in obsidian.

I’ve been using one note at work and it’s actually pretty good and allows easy cross compatible sharing with colleagues.

Same here. I’m using Syncthing to keep states synched between my MacBook and Pixel. All I’m missing is a shared grocery list for me and my girlfriend.

If you’re okay with a low-cost annual subscription, AnyList is fantastic for grocery/recipe lists, and it’s cross-platform.

Any pitfalls you encounteres when setting up syncthing? Is that useful documentation you followed?

Setting up syncthing for Obsidian is super straight forward, you just point it to your vault folder and done. Haven’t run into any problems yet.

Same here!

I’ve been wondering if it could be accomplished using ignore patterns in Syncthing to only share a specific Obsidian folder/directory and put everything shared in there. Yet, this may probably be too much friction for a grocery list and Keep will work fine while it lasts.

Exportable markdown or it doesn’t matter

I am assuming someone will write a converter / exporter and that we’ll have at least a week’s warning before it gets its place in the Google Graveyard.

If Google Takeout outlives it, we might already have one.

I think Notesnook already has a converter

Don’t care. Switched to Joplin and it’s so much better, it’s not even funny.

I have always wanted to use keep as my main note-taking app, but no import option and not being to store most attachments mostly kills it for me. Most of my notes have some form of attachment. Mostly images, but PDFs and a couple of others are also in there. I’m sticking with apple notes for now. Yes, I have tried all the others and still do.

What (app) do you use on Android? Or are you just an iOS user?

I think that on android the only really good option is probably Evernote. Not a bad option and I know it gets a lot of criticism but evernote can pretty much take anything you give it and is extremely flexible. The fact that it’s cross platform is a bonus.
