Making Google Keep Less of a Disaster
This third showcase project is an attempt at turning Google Keep into a Markdown-focused note-taking app with all of Google's benefits, including Gemini and Material Design.
Notes view
The notes view got a visual overhaul. From the new toolbar to the new chips, everything is overall more visually appealing. I also refreshed the card colours, getting a little old.

The new editor
At the core of this conceptual Keep version is the all-new Markdown editor. This editor is packed with new features, the most important one being Markdown support. This enable compatibility with most popular note-taking apps like Notion and Obsidian. Another impressive feature seen all over the app is Components.
Basically, a Component is like a puzzle piece, the puzzle being your note. The nature of a Component can go to very simple (text, bulleted lists, cards) to more interactive blocks (Google service embed like Docs or Forms, calendar, live web page). It is important to acknowledge that most interactive components aren't compatible with classic Markdown viewers.
I also added loads more customisation options for the text within some Components, by bringing the Google Docs format sheet to Keep.
