Standard notes: what about don’t put all your eggs in one basket rule? (discuss.tchncs.de)

If the owner of the standard notes will now be a proton, doesn't that contradict this principle? I have a proton email account but I don't want it linked to my standard notes account. I don't strongly trust companies that offer packaged services like google or Microsoft. I prefer to have one service from one company. I am afraid that now I will have to change where I save my notes. What do you guys think about this?

I regret I'm probably never escaping Obsidian. For a closed-source piece of software it has such a beautiful ecosystem of themes and plugins. I love to use it for writing my blog articles, and the mostly strict adherence to the markdown spec, the HTML rendering and plugins that add support for Pandoc (and Zotero)...

But by default I can't seem to get Logseq in that space, even if I really want to, where I only organise files based on metadata and folders.

It's not about the files, I'm very happy with files being local and easily synced and messed with. It is as you say, you create a folder which Obsidian reads as a "vault" and create .md files and folders in there, plus the hidden folders that let Obsidian organise plugins...

But I'm also not exclusively using it on Android, it's my desktop driver for just about everything text. Especially please with the community plugins which make it extremely accessible for someone with additional needs when it comes to reading or writing, the recent improvements to tables and the plugins that integrate it with Pandoc and Zotero.

I was never able to replace what it was with anything except maybe Logseq, and even the Logseq couldn't replace all of the functionality and theming. I tried living a few days in Logseq, just moving my vault there, but it didn't work so well.

It's not a major issue, I would like to move to FOSS but it's not an emergency like moving away from Google is an emergency.
