Re:Standard Notes is a safe place for your notes, thoughts, ...

All I care is a distributed text replication to all of the available platforms, with no lock-in and decent search. Standard notes does it perfectly.
Context menu? Not sure what would I be using it for. But then again it’s my mode of operation.
I also have Simplenote, which also works well, but the e2e encryption (and lack of account recovery!) is what attracts me to standard note.
About the plan. The point is: the free plan is absolutely perfect for me, and I choose to pay just to say thanks for a great product.
The only thing missing for me is ability to see multiple accounts merged in a single UI - that would allow very easy sharing of notes.
For that I use iCloud or simplenote.
For example, as you detailed, there is a way to recover your password but you have to do all the steps manually (although I still don't know how you are going to delete your account without your password...).

I am curious as to how no context menu for notes makes for a perfect UI for you.
The point is of course there are workarounds and ways to make things work for you and that's okay for a free app. If you pay for a service, you want that service to do every thing you want because that's the whole point.
