At Proton, we’re always working on new and innovative ways to protect the privacy and data of the Proton community.

Yeah, I guess that’s nice. I do like Proton.

I’d love for Proton to focus on completing some current services and make them actually usable though.

Proton is becoming better every day. Oftentimes it's easier to push new services than to polish old ones. And they explained a lot of times that there are different teams working on different products.

But some basic things were promised many years ago and they did not yet deliver yet which is sad

Threaded conversations on mobile. Dedicated contacts management app that acts as your default contact app on mobile.

Fo christ sake, I can't even edit a calendar event on mobile if another participant is added to it.

There are a million things to polish.

And how is that becoming better? Their mobile and desktop softwares aren't on par with anything free or paid, they work yes but they lack a of features that their own web app have; the calendar app, on iOS at least, is straight up useless; the mail app works but it lacks in basic features and it's ugly; they barely support Linux; their own drive software lacks a lot of features that other drive services - privacy oriented and with E2E - have.
