I don't really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.
I'm still bitter over Inbox.
I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.
I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager's daily musings that drive what development does?
It’s a company culture thing. You’re not rewarded for maintaining or finishing products. You are rewarded for starting new ones.
No kidding.
It is 2024, and here is your yearly reminder that you still can't create a new folder/label in the official Gmail Android app despite the online documentation implying that you can.
Android users literally run their lives out of Google Calendar. Think you can share your calendar with a friend from your phone? Think again. It's back to the 10 year old desktop interface for you!
Oh you're not at home at your computer, well, try using the desktop version of Google Calandar on your phone's browser. I dare you.
I'm still waiting for the day when we can create an event from a message in Gmail.
Wait mine does that automatically, it's actually pretty creepy and I've been meaning to figure out how to disable it or at least make it ask for permission
I think they actually recently stopped doing that, unless the mail comes from a contact.
Oh neat
It's unbelievable that so much of the gsuite on mobile web doesn't seem to have been even touched in nearly a decade. It's insane to me that they're just ignoring that part of their own website even as it's easily accessible.
