I would never have known how to create these. I've used Android and Chrome on Windows, ChromeOS. I've never seen a location field in the creation dialog.

I will miss Reminders a little bit, because they were extremely lightweight and didn't work quite like Tasks, but I will embrace the simplification.

it launched in 2012 or 13 within google now, iirc before they released keep. in now it was a tab in the form, in keep it's in the add-notification action (the bell with the plus in it)

yeah, you can create a geofenced reminders from (at least) Keep, Calendar or Assistant.

Not anymore!

But it was never an option for me in Calendar. I haven't used the other two.

I get merging "Reminders" with "Tasks", but why implement all the features except one?
