Non-Pageless Design for Proton Docs
I really want to switch from Google to Proton for everything, as I am concerned about the surveillance of the modern tech era and would like to be more privacy-driven. Unfortunately, I can’t use Proton Docs for very much, though, because the professional writing features are severely limited. Personally, my priority would be adding Page Breaks to Proton Docs. This is for a few reasons:
1) It would help students/professionals who have page requirements in their work, or anyone who wants to know how much they’ve written
2) It would show a clear separation between distinct ideas, chapters, etc.
3) It would allow for easier printing, since we would be able to see exactly how many pages we have. This is especially helpful for students or others who may need to pay a certain amount per printed page
4) It would improve legibility and comprehension by breaking up the text. This is a really important accessibility feature for anyone with vision impairments who use screen readers, or whose brains get overwhelmed by lots of text at once (including myself, which is why I space everything out like this)
5) Bonus: It would break up the computer screen. I have a hard time looking at Proton Docs because it’s just a big, landscape, white screen with zero indicators of where your cursor or text will appear or stop. This is frustrating on an aesthetic level and gives me anxiety for some reason.
As someone who would regularly spend hours of extra time on their writing assignments making the formatting perfect with clean page breaks for new topics, headers/footers, and spacing, a page break in Proton Docs would allow me to actually use the program. Thank you for your consideration in adding a non-pageless design :).

Love this with the option to use whichever you want, pageless or page breaks, depending on what one is working on.
