I mean... I guess in a sense, but also it's a deal on the product. I assumed the majority of people here would be interested in knowing about the deal, or making sure others that haven't signed up/are waiting for a deal know about it.

Thanks for your perspective in any case...

I'm curious why you're in this community but need to ask that question? Passively monitoring out of tepid interest? It just popped up in your feed? Is there some confusion about what "Standard Notes" is and people are here for something else? etc.

I mostly like that it's an encrypted notes app that syncs to my devices. It feels a lot like evernote (which I used once upon a time) with much stronger privacy guarantees. It's also open source, and while I don't use this functionality, I like that it's conceptually trivial to self host.

The app has had its fair share of issues over the years (so as to say, all has not always been "peachy"). However, they seem to be taking things in the right direction with their new "Super Notes" editor type that's a bit more powerful than their traditional usage of third-party editors embeded into the app. The traditional third-party editors are also nice (e.g., I have a few encrypted, synced, spreadsheets).

Price wise, I'm grandfathered into a 5 year plan (which has a lower price than even this offer IIRC). I'm also fortunate to be in a financial situation where $45/yr isn't a major factor in my decision making. It's worth noting they also are willing to work with folks if they have a financial situation where $45/yr is prohibitive: https://standardnotes.com/help/56/what-if-i-can-t-afford-the-price-of-extended
