https://www.privacyguides.org/en/notebooks/?h=notes#criteria Standard notes seems to break the 3rd criteria (Must support exporting documents into a standard format.) and (at least partially with pro version) the 1st criteria (Clients must be open-source.) https://old.reddit.com/r/StandardNotes/co…
