Everything we've released in the last year, including our new products and every new feature for our core services, has been possible because of your support. 

As an independent, European alternative to Big Tech, we see building a private ecosystem of apps as a reclamation of our rights to privacy on the internet and a reminder that there's a better way to build tech: for people, not profit.

Your investment in our mission is what helps us make better products. Feedback is invaluable to our teams, so let us know on Discord, X, Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Telegram, Reddit, and UserVoice, or leave us a review in the App Store or Play Store. 

Thank you for helping us build a more private internet, and we'll see you in the fall for our next roadmap updates.

Stay Safe,
Proton Team

I'm happy about a lot of this, especially improvements on Linux and more attention to Proton Calendar!

[–] blackbeans@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Hoping the new calendar will finally have a search. That's the one reason I have to revert to Google calendar at times

Noooooo. Need integrated contacts. Priority 1!

And it doesn't even seem that hard? Like give an intern a summer project or something. I don't know shit about app development but this seems a lot easier than 2FA app, an AI assistant, Sheets, Docs, a fucking video chat platform, or any of the other myriad products they've put out since this was requested on their UserVoice feedback site.

Please also stop adding everyone who is in any email thread to my contacts

Proton Drive has improved. Linux app is welcome. I want some serious improvements to shared photo albums. Preloading of some amount of previous/next images in the order being viewed. I really want to completely drop google photos

[–] GMac@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Linux drive synch is really late to the party here, glad its not dead though.

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

They are missing one serious thing, taking Monero for payments.

If the VPN app for Linux gets done within the next year or two I'll be shocked.

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 4 points 1 week ago

I only want two things: Google Task-like reminders in Calendar and contacts syncing on Android. I'm disappointed.

[–] tonur@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

I hope the ProtonPass browser extension gets Biometric support, it is my greatest wish!

[–] Zach777@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Finally they are planning on adding Stealth mode for Linux.

[–] CtrlAltDyeet@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 week ago

Nice! Really keen for some of these features :)

No idea how it will be possible to send gmail messages from within proton but I think that would help so much for people migrating

[–] grapemix@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

Their zoom replacement is really expensive. what they really need is providing more affordable services, but that's the hardest part. Developing features users don't need just hurt their business. Anyway, if you can afford, their services are good
