    Standard notes is a bad FSNotes alternative.

    • Is not file based (I can't sync and manage files myself)
    • Bad non-native web-based UI that's counter-intuitive to a Mac user
    • Nags with account and online features on every launch
    • Does not support Markdown (unless you enable online features and pay)
    • Half of other features doesn't work, unless you enable online features and pay
