As a product, this looks super-cool. However, I've got to be honest: while I'd play around with it while it's part of Area 120, there's no way I'd use it in a business until it officially became part of G Suite, as a core service . If Keep and Tasks are core services, then this needs to be too. That becomes a guarantee that it'll stick around basically forever. So it's very exciting to see Google launch something lik…
I see a lot of comments about people who are worried that Google might shutdown the service entirely and I agree with your concerns. The last months we have seen a lot of giants building their own database spreadsheet like hybrid, Google Tables, Microsoft Lists and Amazon Honeycode. Tools like these contain your most important data and you want to have freedom, security and independence as they can be an important pa…

Calling it a boring meme is condescending. It's dismissing people's concerns as a joke they made up for attention, rather than addressing and refuting their actual argument.
Linking to killedbygoogle.com where more than half of things are not actually kiled by Google is not a good argument. I agree that products getting killed by Google is a concern and a few comment accurately point out and add to discussions while most of the others just keep repeating like a meme. Very rarely the discussion feels like a discussion. OP brought up another point about Google being a 20 year old company s…

Amazing work. This may be a very obvious question, but just to be clear, does the github repo offer the same as the hosted SaaS version? Meaning can I host this internally and play around with it as a proof-of-concept at work?
It sounds interesting and I was wondering what people thought about it and how it works out in practice.

I'm not sure how many years a startup needs to be around though before it's likelyhood of survival surpasses that of a new google product.

Also Reader and FeedBurner felt much like core services during their heyday.
I'm the Tables TL. I'd be happy to answer questions!

Really not helping the condescending Googler stereotype there bud. Or perhaps its OK for you to be this way as a tech "elite" that makes $450k a year.
I don't see any condescending language in that comment. But with my disclosure, you will be quick to say, of course I can't. Not sure where the "elite" or "450k/year" is coming from as well in the parent comment. Perhaps give that comment another chance to see what they are actually saying? Disc: Googler.
Unlike me, he has absurd wealth. I’m lucky if I hit $200k after 3 years tenure at Amazon.

While I am also annoyed by Google's discontinuation of products, I would guess that the failure rate of saas startups is still much higher than Google's cancel rate. I'm not sure how many years a startup needs to be around though before it's likelyhood of survival surpasses that of a new google product.
