Would you mind elaborating on why Standard Notes is too buggy? Only thing that comes to mind is the use of React Native and Electron (suboptimal performance / UX) but I've never had any issues myself.

I'd like to hear of alternatives that apply the same e2e encryption model.

I also am on Standard Notes and haven't noticed it being buggy. But I'm presently a free user and never switch editors.

It was after buggy experiences on Simplenote that I had to jump ship. I don't know if I just had too many notes, or what, but it became slow, updated in weird ways that lost things or copied the same line multiple times, jumped to the top when I tried to scroll down, etc. Just all manner of strange behaviors.

My main issue has been the editor(s). The model of having multiple choices of editor should be great but I’ve found it flaky when switching, particularly switching to mobile. Sometimes my whole note seems to disappear, but is ok if I flip back to simple editor, sometimes mobile shows html preview rather than plaintext.
