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.
Ah, so we have about 6 months to a year before they abruptly kill it off.
Is there a way to mod the app to make it easier to export files and make the documents accessible from the file explorer?
I really wish they didn’t have to kill third party integration with smart speakers for this. Google bait and switch at its finest.
You could use Google-assistant smart speakers to add things to specific non-Keep shopping lists - e.g. Any.Do and Bring are two that spring to mind. Google killed this integration a few months back to force users into using Keep if they wanted to retain this functionality.
No interest in styling, I have docs for that. Big features I’m missing are:
-
single-note 1x1 shortcut widget (not the full single note widget – which is nice! But not a simple homescreen 1x1 link to a specific note),
-
better management for pictures attached to a note (brightness/contrast/crop, re-sorting them, etc).
-
Copy-paste for checklists. How is that not a thing?
-
bring back letting me use google Assistant to add stuff to my Keep shopping list.
- bring back letting me use google Assistant to add stuff to my Keep shopping list.
FYI they brought this feature back a while ago
Oh, thanks!
Edit: there must be a trick to it, I just checked and it still sends shopping list entries to that weird Google Assistant List thing.
Edit2: found it! There’s a Google Assistant setting. God damn the UI for this is so awful. First question it should ask when it finds I have no shopping list shouldn’t be “shall I make you a shopping list” but “hey do you use Google Keep to manage your shopping? Should I switch to that?”.
I find keep terrifically useful. But it is not supported by Google Takeout, so when they turn it off, I’d lose everything. I’m currently trying out sNotz from f-droid as a replacement.
