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?

    I’ve been self-hosting Standard Notes for a while, and if you think it’s something you can pull off, I’d recommend it. Especially if you can get by without folders, (too many) fancy editors, or some of the extra cloud stuff they have been offering.

    If you don’t feel like self-hosting, there are other options too, like

    • The non-self-hostable but E2EE-encrypted and open-source Notesnook
    • The closed source but extensible Obsidian, which doesn’t seem very interested in locking you into any tying
    • The somewhat clunky but powerful and open-source Joplin

      Too bad it requires 2GB of RAM. Joplin is “perfect” but the UI is ugly.
