I can recommend Standard Notes as an alternative. https://standardnotes.com/

Works well on all paltforms, desktop and mobile. The sync works also great. It also backs up to text files on your computer, so that you can back up your files with your regular backup process and you can also easily move away if you would like to one day.

Standard Notes is in the same position as Simplenote was 10 years ago. Automattic acquired Simplenote but never really did anything with it. Standard Notes was acquired by Proton last year and development has slowed to bug fixes only. I would be wary to migrate to Standard Notes.

That‘s the notetaking app that has several "editors", isn‘t it?

So that if you want to use feature A you need a different view inside the app than if you want to use feature B. And if you use both, you constantly switch?

The illustrations on the home page are some of the most hideous slop I've ever seen. Terrible first impression, and it really doesn't inspire trust in the quality of security of the service. Eventually companies will learn. But for now, eww.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating / being the usual AI hater, so I opened the page expecting a some product screenshots with a few too many em dashes or something like that, fully intending to tell you to calm down. But dammmn it's bad! You weren't exaggerating at all!

Its almost enjoyably bad - I especially appreciate how it gets worse as you scroll.

Do images of that low quality honestly help sell something? I'd have thought stock footage or simple icons would be more effective.

oh damn what i swear i remember their site being perfectly normal in the past, what happened

I should also add that Proton also has become somewhat tacky aesthetically over the years. Their old Alpine, sober aesthetic was really great.

After Proton acquisition, prices became exorbitant and aesthetics hideous I guess.

Weird. Although I only used it briefly in the past, I remember the home page was not that bad. What happened to them?

[fcarraldo]

Wow, it is really awful. This is such a pointless misstep given that Standard Notes has been around for years, was not vibe coded, is not an AI app - but this landing page makes me immediately assume it’s slop.
