I mustn't be the only who thinks it's ironic to move to a Google product/service in hope of avoiding something disappearing. ;)

Ha yeah I know what you mean. I am still angry about Reader.

For now at least it seems Google is putting work into Keep so I hope it won't disappear anytime soon.

Unfortunately having a todo/notes app that allows for account controlled sharing is tricky to do without some kind of service. Unless you want to get all ghetto and build something that works on top of something like Dropbox but that gets problematic as Dropbox isn't designed to be used that way.

I built my own test program that used a protected-shared Google Sheet as its data source but at that point you might as well just use Keep!

I think that's said about every Google thing at some point in time.

It's not ironic, it's just paradoxical.
