Google Keep for Android is getting some overdue upgrades
www.theverge.com
Keep is an excellent note-taking app — hey Google, please don’t kill it.

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.

    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.

      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?”.

          Yeah you’re right, I just checked and the way to set it up makes no sense. No wonder people don’t know it works again!
