This is practically a non-announcement.
Proton, your products and services are great. But sometimes your PR needs work.
This is basically saying "Standard Notes and Proton are doing something!? We don't know what yet." It doesn't even say "More details will follow."
What are we supposed to do with this vacuum of information you just created? All this does is give us questions. That's not an example of good communication.
What I took from this post is that we're gonna get new features. But you're right in saying "we don't know what yet", I don't know either.
Maybe. Or maybe its a discount on a Simple Notes subscription. We're all just guessing. I'd bet they don't even know yet what "joining forces" really means yet exactly.
I don't think they should have announced anything, until they could answer some of the most basic questions of what they're planing.
Main message, as I see it is, that standardnotes' long term future is secure.
Really? It could mean Standard Notes is going away, and in a couple years it'll be Proton Docs or something. I don't know. I'm not even sure they know yet.
Standardnotes will keep operating, as does SimpleLogin.
So it'll be a bundle like SimpleLogin?
Standardnotes will keep running as independent service and Proton is also looking into ways how to make Standardnotes more accessible to the Proton community.
I do not have more information for now. Personally I do think it will be like SimpleLogin somewhen, yes.
