I really hope as a Proton Unlimited subscriber I'll have access to the full version of Standard Notes eventually, like what happened with Simple Login. Although it's clear that they used the SN acquisition to launch Proton Docs or whatever it is, which I appreciate although I don't use, I'd love to switch from Obsidian to SN. Just need access to the markdown functionality.

I was hoping for the same, but this announcement makes me think that won't happen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What makes you think that? I'd assume such an announcement would come from Proton not Standard Notes. As like a, "hey, here's more value from your subscription" kind of a thing. I don't think it would cost them any more to offer it. Especially since it'd use Proton Drive to sync.

It reads to me like "hey we're still working on stuff here, please subscribe!". If it were to be merged with Proton I'd expect silence and no changes.

Please, at the very least, let me auth with my Proton account and receive a discount to SN for being a Proton Unlimited subscriber.

I have used StandardNotes until recently. Unfortunately I had to change because I want to collaborate and share notes with my SO. If SN gets that I will probably move back as I already am using other proton services and I prefered using SN. I will continue to pay attention to your progress going forward!

Can't you share an account? Or do you want it to be under your proton account?

[–] MoonlightFox 2 points 1 month ago

I guess I could, but I prefer having a private space and being able to take notes without others reading them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Curious what you use right now for notes with your SO? Similar situation here and currently sharing a Notesnook login, which is less than optimal.

[–] MoonlightFox 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Joplin, not as good as SN or Notesnook, but has collab

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you use Joplin self hosted somehow with the collab? Or are you using Joplin's sync?

[–] MoonlightFox 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am using the paid cloud sync

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ah bummer, thanks for responding but I'd prefer to keep my notes encrypted or local

[–] MoonlightFox 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is encrypted in cloud, also the shared notes btw

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ooh good to know thanks! I must have been looking at an old post

[–] MoonlightFox 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It might support self hosted collab, I have not looked into it. Might be worth checking out first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Is the collab real-time? Like can you see the other persons cursor as they type?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you log into Standard Notes with a proton account? Or do I need a separate account?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Separate account.

I really do hope the ultimate subscription will include Standard Notes in the future.

They are not really saying much about their plans for Standard Notes though.

I guess getting them up to par with Proton in security is a good step towards integrating the services.
