I wonder if anyone else was surprised by how useful Google Keep is, and how it doesn't seem to get any publicity (like people don't seem to know about it, but when I've introduced it to family members they've generally loved it). Also I really like my Google home, Pixel phone, and Nest cameras -- privacy concerns aside :grimace:

I tried Keep, it is OK but the refusal to add an API is scary. It looks like it will not be a product integrated or supported like the others are.

Sadly, Keep fits the pattern of a good but not wildly successful product that will likely receive an "Update On" notice someday.
