Turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes
Standard Notes has an outdated UI. Also, if people look for a privacy friendly notes service they will find many different options which they have most likely never heard of. If you now turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes (or create a separate app that syncs with Standard Notes), the people won't just find unknown notes services, they will find Proton Notes, who they've most likely heard of already if they're into privacy.
So, it doesn't just improve the UI, but it also helps strengthen the brand identity (and find more possible paying customers)

We've been waiting a long time for this.

Sorry, but this Standard Notes is not good. Please please make an app similar to Google Keep. Then with a connection to email and calendar. It doesn't necessarily have to be fully functional. You can add them little by little.
Das würde auch gut mit Proton Tasks harmonieren, aber das gibt es ja leider auch nicht. -

With Evernote’s large price increase it’s hard to justify. But proton notes using proton drive and Lumo for AI integration would be very compelling.
100% agree with last post. SN hard to test without committing and in 2025 the UI is lacking. -

A notes app would be a vary valuable addition to the Proton ecosystem, and I would certainly utilise it on a daily basis.
My problem with Standard Notes is that the free tier is too limited to get a good read on the usability of the application, and the paid tier is too expensive, so I have no idea if it is a good note taking application or not.
I'm currently using Notesnook, which is a fabulous note taking application in its own right, and very privacy focused. In my opinion it would make a perfect addition to the Proton ecosystem. But, if Standard Notes is the way they have chosen to go, then I will wait for full integration so that I can give it a try. -

It would be great if they could revamp this into something like Obsidian

I currently use Notion (it's really awesome, nicer "Confluence") but I feel like privacy is a no-no.
Would love if Proton could come up with Standard Notes with steroids -

I would also like to use my proton drive storage for Standard Notes! -

I'm currently using obsidian but I don't really like how complicated it is and it has many issues. Really want this so standard notes becomes actually usable.

But make it as open as possible. Using markdown in a way that would allow an easy import and export of notes.

Yes I'm very hesitant deciding where to put my tones of notes and where to start the new writings-considering both the UI, exporting/syncing options and privacy.
Will paid users get access to Standard Notes paid features?

I'm also interested in this and would likely use a Notes app.
One nice to have feature that I think would be an improvement on the existing Apple Notes app that I currently use is the ability to easily backup a note or collection of notes periodically. I like to write down various notes and ideas into my Notes app, especially as I'm lying in bed since evenings are when I'm most creative. I've lost pages full of ideas several times by falling asleep while writing and waking up the next day to find that the changes were already synced to the cloud and the note (and anything else previously written in that note) were unrecoverable.

Made an account just to agree with this. I'm looking to migrate away from Apple Notes with a simple, no-nonsense solution that is privacy respecting. Even just including Standard Notes in the Proton Unlimited subscription and integrating it better into the Proton suite would be great.

The best way to be the part of the ecosystem with all the same UX, and included to paid plans, better with the sharing across the system and with better pasting support from the GPT.

I am totally interested in a Notes app (or sub-app) connected to Drive, Docs, and Pass; I have lots of material in Samsung Notes that I would like to move but don't have a good place to store it or time to reformat it all; it is a peculiar, proprietary format, and Samsung Notes can be scanned by malware or AI since it's not encrypted.

As someone that has had both Proton and SN before SN was part of Proton ... I'm torn.
I love that Standard Notes also has an open back end and I'd hate to see that lost in converting it to a "Proton Notes" product.

I'd like this as well as a bit of a UI overhaul for SN. I'd like a back button so I don't have to go into settings to enable and disable tabs, or deal with cumbersome dynamic tabs that expand too often.
