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?

If you're worried about backdoors, you can build every client from source and verify the code. IIRC they haven't paid for an audit, but if they failed to protect your passwords/keys that'd be really bad for their reputation. And considering their target demographic, it's pretty important to keep that part of the reputation alive.
