After 10 years using SimpleNote I think I'm going to switch to StandardNotes. The most recent update to SimpleNote has made the editing experience really bad. While typing it will randomly jump to different notes, sometimes completely messing them up in the process.

SimpleNote appears to have no business model aside from being funded by Automattic, which I'm always wary of. StandardNotes has the benefit of open-source, encryption, and a business model.

@wezm StandardNotes looks really good, but their native apps always felt a bit too clunky for me.

I'm now using Notion.

Keen to hear how you go with StandardNotes though!

Hmm @hugo may have been right. The editor thing is a novel concept but in practiceit's not great. The Markdown Pro editor isn't too bad in browser but is slow and breaks spellcheck on mobile. 😕

@wezm @hugo I have found the Simple Markdown Editor to be far superior to the advanced one in Standard Notes. Though sometimes I fall back to no special editor at all because I appreciate the monospace font.

@pcrock @hugo I tried them all. The simple one was good for the edit/preview toggle. It was still slow to load on my phone though.

@wezm @hugo Yeah this is my biggest issue on the phone. You'll notice the load time for custom editors slows down the worse your Internet connection gets....
