Hopefully they can turn Standard Notes into a product I’d be willing to return to. I like the company ethos, but the product was too clunky. The configurable editors all seemed to be of a poorer quality than opinionated competitors.

Yeah, a lot of the editors were just open source editing widgets dropped in, often without a serious effort to make sure the interface or rendered documents matched the rest of the application. I'd love an editor on par with what Obsidian has, but all the editors were so clunky that I stuck to plain text for almost my entire vault.

The floating "close keyboard" button creates situations on iOS that make it impossible to select particular bits of text sometimes. It makes me strongly suspect they aren't seriously dogfooding their own application.

The close button was implemented to provide a way of dismissing the keyboard for plain text notes on iOS. Unfortunately, it does obscure a portion of the note. We'll be looking into improving this behavior in the future.

I rather like standard notes, personally. I also enjoy obsidian
