in the beginning Panda was just meant to be a throwaway app for testing the “editor 2.0” for Bear, but the feedback from our community changed this a bit.
The plan still is to integrate the new editor into Bear first, then we’ll probably release Panda as standalone editor.
Bear will remain 100% on CloudKit, keep in mind that’s end to end encrypted by Apple (in transfer and at rest) and you can add another layer of encryption using the one we provide.
Panda will be file based, so you can use almost any cloud file system you want to sync your data.
Best.
