Proton Chat - Messaging app
Let's make it in some math style:
ProtonMail : Gmail = ProtonChat : Hangouts
:)
Secure private chat same principle of secure email, but applied to chats.

I don't see the need for this. There's signal already

If we want to improve the privacy of our communications a place to start would be the messaging format that we use for the most of our conversations nowadays (like whatsapp). This kind of communication is today in the hands of big companies because the don't support any communication standard like xmpp. ¿Anyone can imagine that a gmail account couldn't send emails to an outlook or protonmail accounts but only other gmails? This it's just what is happening in messaging alternatives that doesn't let you choose other ones because keep you captive with al yours contacts been only available in there. If email services like openmailbox already do could be used as an xmpp account very time more and more people would have an xmpp account and it would be easier to start using an standard in our more important communication nowadays.

To be honest one of the main reasons for me to switch to protonmail was to actually get rid of the social account stuff build around it. I signed up for a secure and simple, minimalistic email client first and foremost so... if you really have to add this chat (or whatever social environment thingy) pah-leez let there be an option to opt out or completely disable it.

Are you still working on it?
Telegram is already has self-destructible chats, and seems like shares your policy on privacy. Don't you think on cooperation with them? -

As others have mentioned, use signal protocol

I'd love to use it as an IM on Android/iOS/Windows Phone too.
With end-to-end encryption, forward secrecy, but the possibility to keep conversation logs locally. (Logs that can be manually copied over to another device, and saved/converted in a human readable format such as HTML)

Any news on this ? I understand that it will not be for 2016, but is it a high priority for 2017 ?

Please do this. All other "secure" chat services either are not secure at all or have a very diluted user base. Proton Chat would a great opportunity for a real secure chat solution using the awesome encryption system you designed.

Please don't do this :-) There are tons of secure chat apps. You are unlikely to beat them in popularity, features, or even security. Focus 100% on creating the best encrypted email in the world.

I would really like to see this implemented.
Chat is major part of digital communication.
Having a secure chat with ProtonMail (even if it was just a XMPP server) would be a great addition to the service.

I would really not want to see this. I subscribed for an email service, not a social account. If Protonmail goes this route, please let there be an option to disable or turn it off completely.

Basic chat communication feature. The contents are scrambled end to end protonmail users, so why not have it in chat? I am only talking about between users of protonmail. Its a good way to attract more customers.

Please create a chat like ghostmail.

It would be absolutely brilliant if the chat could work via some simple background application without the need to be logged within the browser.

why re-invent the wheel? I'd rather have integration of protonmail and signal, which seems to gradually become the de facto encrypted messaging standard...

A very good idea .. Finnish startup has done a secure chat and will be released soon, ..it is based on the same principles than protonmail encrypting everything inside the service .. However, I would rather use the tools in one place that use many tools to ensure privacy ..and to get rid of Telegram, Whatsup and Hangouts
