Are simperium and simplenote related? I am confused. Both are by auttomatic it seems.

Edit: looks like simperium is some data stashing service (like firebase?). And simplenote is an app built on top of simperium. Did I get that right?

Simplenote is built on top of Simperium.

In fact, Simperium was originally created to provide the syncing features of Simplenote and then generalized to work as a service for anyone who wants to sync structured data.
