I think that SN may not need to over complicate things like Obsidian to "Modernize". I switched to NotesNook because Obsidian overcomplicates the note taking experience to try to deepen it. Unless you're a power user, most of the features never get used. I felt like I was spending more time working on the "taking of the notes" than the actual notes themselves. I see a lot of users bringing up collaboration, I think that's a massive thing that a Business & Personal oriented suite like Proton could benefit from most.

While I support real-time collaboration, I'd like for there to be an option to retain the current interface and themes (as "classic mode," for example) because for my personal notetaking, I like using non-distracting plain text editors.

The user below (Fanfare39) that mentioned Anytype is spot on. Once you use a modern app like Anytype, Amplenote, Obsidian, or even Logseq the dated UI in Standard Notes is just painful. If you're familiar with using / commands while you work any app without them becomes a productivity sinkhole.

To improve Proton, focus on performance optimization, especially for graphics-intensive applications, and enhance compatibility with a broader range of Windows software. Prioritizing seamless integration with Linux environments will reduce setup complexity. Regular updates, better documentation, and community feedback channels would greatly support users and drive rapid, impactful improvements. https://fmapps.org

Not entirely sure about this, the app being simple to use is one of its main points, its not trying to be Obsidian. For collaboration you could create Proton docs now anyway.

I do really like something like Logseq, and would love to have it as part of the Proton family, but I dont know if the complex functionality of Logseq/Obsidian and fast simple notes of SN should be the same app.

APK link brings to a 404 Github, LOL

I have started using Anytype and I think is an amazing tool with lots of potencial. It really fast scaled up and allowed me to delete many other apps and centralize many things in just one secure and encrypted app. It would be really nice to have something similar integrated with proton. It would be killer for other apps like notion for example.

Good idea, I am however not in favor of Standard Notes becoming an Obsidian. This kind of project would require quite colossal resources from the developers while it is just an app note-taking. Modernize why not, collaborate great idea, but complicate is not useful in my opinion. It's already great to have a privacy-respecting notes application, it's rare in this niche.

It’s good aide, proton Notes

Develop an app for notes, but please make synchronization between devices free, and also open the app on more than one device.

Good ideas

Not sure if Proton and Standard notes can beat Obsidian.

A proton pricing tier including the professional Standard Notes would be great. I second everyone talking about making proton a more holistic productivity suite.

I'd also like to see a Obsidian support like a Plugin such that Obsidian's Sync feature replaced by Proton Drive.

obsidian has an incredible storage system. This makes it quite simple to create a second brain.

Adding a tag system would also be a plus I think.

I'd like to add that if they do modernize Standard Notes, they need to make importing from other applications a better experience. Currently a real hassle to move over from Obsidian and the like.

If this is on the table and the team needs some inspiration, check out Appflowy. I think Standard Notes should continue to focus on notes, like Notesnook with better UI/UX and architecture, but it should integrate well with the existing Proton suite.

because of the design i completely stopped using standardnotes. I hate to, because the security and privacy is really good, but it's so hard to use in daily life.

Proton VPN being broken by carrier targeted based on User SIM card Tunnel Vision Exploit, via DHCP on IOS option 121 can be corrected with double wrapped VPN or VPN with Tor. I have notice some improvement recently not sure who made changes proton VPN or mobile operator, I complained to both, I tested and verified both protonVPN and mullvad were broken on my devices for 6 weeks,

Wish proton would make a notes app for IOS I do not trust and of the others

I Wish proton would make a notes app and an Alarm clock for IOS I do not trust and of the others. Apple notes and Alarm collect to much data!!
