The site is a little light on details, but I assume my notes will be stored in a distributed way? What are some key advantages of this over something like Standard Notes (https://standardnotes.org), which allows backing up notes to multiple different cloud storage providers.

It's not distributed. Your data will be stored on a storage provider of your choice and it will only be accessible to you (or others with whom you share).

I haven't used Standard Notes before but from what I see now, it looks close to what we plan to make. I wonder how they store the data and what happens with data in case they disappear. I will look more into it.
