Google Keep updated itself and deleted all my data, everywhere, just saying.

I lost all of the notes I took while offline, reading on a plane flight, as soon as I connected to the internet again. I haven't trusted Google Keep since.

Google Didn't Keep

I find Google docs to be so clunky and slow.

My company uses Google docs.

Anything destined for for that pit of despair I write in vi and excel, and copy/paste or import. Docs is not quite awful, but nowhere close to nice to use.

And "just search" as an organizing principle for docs from lots of people who aren't information nerds ends up leading to a bucket of ass. Newhires end up doing broken things because they found an outdated doc, you have to pick through multiple versions of other people's crap that never goes away, etc.

I keep all my docs to myself and render-to-Google when something needs to be shared. Reminds me a bit of blogging, really, with crappier tools.

I love how Google fanboys downvoted you to oblivion.

Come on people, when is sharing an opinion worth a downvote?

Yeah until they randomly kill it one day because it’s strategically meaningless.

Google keep does not sync reliably. I really tried to use it, but it's just terrible (unless it's improved recently). I've had it take days to sync before

When did you use it last? It has had some large changes for the backend 1.5-2 years ago I believe.

I definitely had some syncing issues with in the past as well, but I understand it has improved.

I've heard about Google Keep first time. And that means that Google will shut down Keep soon, it happened few times already. Prepare to move your data.

Keep is part of GSuite now - so it has a deprecation policy.

It is also very easy to save your notes as a google doc. I don't think there is a lot of risk...

have you ever tried workflowly? i think it's far superior.
