If the owner of the standard notes will now be a proton, doesn’t that contradict this principle? I have a proton email account but I don’t want it linked to my standard notes account. I don’t strongly trust companies that offer packaged services like google or Microsoft. I prefer to have one service from one company. I am afraid that now I will have to change where I save my notes. What do you guys think about this?

    What is standard notes exactly and why would anyone use it? I hadn’t heard of it before today’s proton announcement. Private files should stay on your own PC, preferably airgapped, not on someone else’s server .

      It’s e2e encrypted and locally encrypted. So the practical impact of the server is for syncing between devices.

      The software has caused me endless problems though, and the free version has no support for formatting of any kind
