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
I think in the context of open source software, saying “joining forces” is acceptable
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.
