Unfortunately is a general trend to "develop" things, to make them more and more complicated and bloated. For some reasons developers consider this "improvements". But in most of the cases they are not! On the contrary: these "improvements" only creates problems for users and not only. Since if I need an application to have a certain feature, it is a problem if that application has a hundred of other features that I do not need at all: this means a lot of more resources, bandwidth, energy, memory, time, annoyance, I have to learn totally unnecessary things, etc. And last but not least, this means totally senseless nature destruction (waste of energy).

Now, we have Proton Docs, which is good. I wanted this feature, too. I wrote to PM asking it, but I also wrote to not do in Google Docs manner: a bloated, almost unusable idiocy. Of course, the implemented Proton Docs is almost as bloated, with a lot of "features" that I never need, and I am afraid that it will become more and more bloated as appear new "feature" requests...

So, I have this suggestion: implement also a simple Proton TXT format in addition to the existing Proton Docs. This should be like a simple TXT file without any formatting, without URL and other support, only simple text, so that we can store simple data, notes, code... Since there are people (I think the majority) that only need this, they do not want to create complicated MS Office, LibreOffice documents, only to store text information. This TXT doc should show line numbers on the left and should have an 80 characters line length indicator bar in web editor, wich is very useful in programming and not only (but without colors (syntax highlighting), automatic indents, which again would make it bloated and prone to bugs). It must be downloadable as a simple TXT file.

Benefits: much less doc sizes, resource usage (both for users and Proton), time waste, annoyance, etc.

KISS: Keep it simple, stupid! It is not a stupidity...
