Proton and the end-to-end encrypted note-taking app Standard Notes are joining forces. We’ve long been admirers and are excited to welcome Mo and his team.
That only matters if you’re a standard notes user and don’t like Proton or you trust Standard notes and no one else, the reason I said it’s acceptable they put it like that, is because they both develop open source software
But Yeah, from a business perspective, it’s not Standard Notes LTD and Proton AG, it’s just Proton AG now
They have acquired SimpleLogin and didn’t merge the original app, but they took it’s main feature ( creating email aliases ) and added it to Proton Pass
So I don’t think they’ll merge it, my guess is they’ll either keep supporting it as it is, but take it’s functionality and add it to ProtonPass…or … they’ll just rebrand it, and start working on from there ( which is better in my opinion, because they have good branding skills )
It’s in the context of one private company purchasing another private company. There is no “we, Proton and Standard Notes” it’s now “Us, Proton”.

This is me. I use both but I would much rather have standard notes be separate from proton as I use it 10x more.
I hope they don’t merge the logins or apps.
