Proton said the Standard Notes app, which is available for both mobile and desktop, will remain “open source, freely available and fully supported”.

It also suggested that there will be no change to Standard Notes’ prices; its press release specifies that existing five-year subscriptions “will continue to be honored.”

“Standard Notes will remain an independent product and in due course both companies will open access to their products to each others’ users,” Proton added.

They can also lobby more effectively for privacy respecting legislation and privacy rights. I don't like lobbying, but so long as it's around, it would be nice to have a big privacy company that's as invested in that as the average privacy enthusiast.
