Collaborative Whiteboard Application
A whiteboard application like openboard.ch would be a great addition to Proton. I currently have several disparate projects in which we are using whiteboarding within the teams but one of the primary drawbacks is that, openboard is a local application only - they provide no collaboration services (eg, team shares one whiteboard collectively as we work) there's one owner for the board and only one can interact with the board at once. If Proton were to implement a service like openboard - adding the security of encryption to the feeds and data storage as well as new features like realtime collaboration - that would enable the resources and security needed to add that feature and would be a great add to the Proton ecosystem.

From their own site - they need support from a Swiss-based organization...
"Currently, OpenBoard is maintained by the Education Department (DIP) of the canton of Geneva, in Switzerland. The University of Lausanne, who developped the original Uniboard software in 2003 has joined the effort by means of a logistical and financial contribution. An association project will be developed in 2019.
A meeting was held in June 2016 between representatives from the universities of Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Fribourg and Geneva, the departments of Education from the cantons of Geneva and Jura as well as various institutions from the canton of Vaud (Switzerland) to together reflect on the desired evolution of OpenBoard.
Interest is growing fast across Switzerland but also in Europe and North America. A swiss law non-profit organisation should be created. This organisation would promote OpenBoard and its open source development and foster collaboration between interested parties. This in respect of the core principles which led to the creation of this fork, that is the refocusing on the work of a teacher in a classroom, privileging the ease of use."
