Include Standard Notes with Proton Subscription
Since Standard Notes (SN) is part of Proton, it should really be included in subscriptions, at least the unlimited plan. (For an "unlimited" subscription, there seems to be a growing list of limitations; first it didn't include SN, now it also doesn't include Lumo AI.) In Standard Notes' 2025 update (https://standardnotes.com/blog/2025-update), they said:
What has changed since we joined Proton is our capacity. Being part of the Proton family means we can draw on the resources of a larger organization...
Why is Proton spending money and/or time improving another service that doesn't benefit its own users? It's strange that a proudly community-funded company is giving community funds to SN without any benefit to the community. A good notes app is missing from the Proton ecosystem, and I can't justify spending another $120 a year on SN to supplement a $288 a year subscription to Proton, especially when some of the money I've given to Proton is already going to SN!

i agree the “unlimited” plan feels less unlimited every year, and splitting notes into a separate subscription is hard to justify when proton already owns it. if proton wants standard notes to stay separate, they should at least explain the funding and roadmap so users don’t feel they’re subsidizing a product they can’t access. also, the web has enough random noise already; i even had a support thread derail when someone dropped https://casinosbonusca.com/casinos/casumo/ and it reminded me how messy the “everything costs extra” vibe can get. hope proton either bundles it or offers a meaningful discount for existing subscribers.
