from the team:
Hi everyone, This is Andy, Proton founder/CEO here. I just wanted to share the news that Standard Notes and Proton are joining forces.
This was an idea that people from both the Proton and Standard Notes communities have brought up repeatedly over the years, and after discussing it with Mo, the founder of Standard Notes, we both felt it was a good idea.
Both Proton and Standard Notes have unique shared values. We are both community-driven, not VC-financed, and committed to open-source. By joining forces, we hope to deliver more valuable services to both the Proton and Standard Notes user communities. A bit more about this on the Proton blog here.
As always, thanks for your support as we continue to fight for a more private internet, now with even more people on the team!

How will this work? I already have a Standard Notes account, and a paid Proton account. Will there be an option to merge them?
For now there are not usable for me.
The 100MB storage limit feels ridiculous. ProtonMail offers 500MB basic with 1GB free upgrade, and ProtonDrive starts at 2GB up to 5GB free. It’s unclear why Standard Notes storage isn’t shared like these other Proton products. Basic formatting tools like bold and italics are absent on free plan. What makes it different from notes in Proton Pass? Jurisdictional troubles. It is not Swiss as Proton or SimpleLogin P.S: Their app looks like PWA (progressive web application) not as standalone app.
100MB of plain text notes is probably quite a lot of notes

In the coming months, we hope to find ways to make Standard Notes more easily accessible to the Proton community. This way, in addition to protecting your email, calendar, files, passwords, and online activity, you can also protect your notes.
This is all the information we have
But overall - can proton users now use standard notes paid plan for free? Or what does it mean?
Right now not. What will be afterwards I do not know. Personally I hope and think yes :D
Does it mean I will be able to login to Standard Notes using Proton account the same way as I do with SimpleLogin?
