    It's more like Evernote than Google Keep

    I have to say, within just a few days, this has proven to be a very professional alternative to note-taking apps, websites, and programming tools. Keep simply can't do that, which is why I switched. However, there's an issue with the Android version: it doesn't work reliably with WebDAV. That definitely needs improvement!
